When navigating skin-tightening procedures across the Greater Seoul area—spanning both Seoul and Gyeonggi province—high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments remain among the most widely searched categories. Two primary options dominate patient inquiries: Shurink, a domestic HIFU device, and Ulthera, an imported micro-focused ultrasound system.
As of July 2026, GlowMap has analyzed aggregated public data from hundreds of regional clinics to establish transparent price baselines. Understanding these baseline figures helps patients interpret market rates without relying on promotional claims or single-clinic quotes.
Shurink Price Baselines in Greater Seoul
Shurink utilizes domestic ultrasound technology designed for skin tightening and collagen stimulation. Because the device is manufactured domestically, consumable and equipment costs are generally lower for clinics, which typically translates to more accessible baseline pricing for patients.
Based on aggregated public data from 396 participating clinics across Greater Seoul:
- Median Price: 약 11만원 (₩110,000)
- Observed Range: Starts from 약 3만원 (₩30,000) depending on shot counts, treatment areas, and clinic-specific promotional structures.
Because prices vary significantly by provider, patients are encouraged to check live per-clinic pricing directly on GlowMap to compare current rates across districts.
Ulthera Price Baselines in Greater Seoul
Ulthera relies on micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualization, using imported proprietary transducers. The higher capital equipment and maintenance costs associated with the device heavily influence overall pricing structures across the market.
Based on aggregated public data from 564 clinics across Greater Seoul:
- Median Price: 약 96만원 (₩960,000)
- Observed Range: Starts from 약 10만원 (₩100,000) for targeted spot treatments, extending upward based on total lines and comprehensive facial mapping.
While Ulthera sits at a much higher median price point than Shurink, actual costs fluctuate widely depending on the specific clinic, bundled sessions, and regional location. Reviewing live per-clinic data on GlowMap provides a clearer picture of current market distribution.

Navigating Pricing Data Responsibly
Public price data reflects general market trends rather than fixed costs. Individual clinic pricing depends on variables such as physician experience, anesthesia options, and exact protocol designs. GlowMap aggregates this information purely as a reference tool to help patients make informed, data-driven decisions. For international visitors utilizing our free self-service concierge, comparing live rates across the Greater Seoul map remains the most reliable way to understand true per-clinic variations.
