How much does LinearFirm cost in Korea at Barog Clinic?
LinearFirm is charged by shot count, starting at ₩90,000 for 100 shots on a focal jawline zone, ₩240,000 for 300 shots across the jawline and under-chin, and ₩360,000 for extended coverage. A separate body line starts at ₩100,000. All board prices exclude 10% VAT, and the board is the same for local and international patients.
What is linear HIFU, and how is it different from regular HIFU?
Linear HIFU delivers focused-ultrasound heat in continuous lines, replacing separate points. That line delivery suits a defined edge like the jawline, laying an even band of energy along the contour in one pass, which many patients find steadier to sit through. The underlying mechanism is the same focused ultrasound that triggers collagen below the surface.
Is LinearFirm good for the jawline and a double chin?
That is exactly what it is aimed at: the softened lower-face contour and the fat layer under the chin, where the jawline loses its line. The linear mode traces the contour evenly. For heavier fullness or significant sagging, the consultation may suggest pairing it with a thread lift or a fat-dissolving route over relying on shots alone.
Does LinearFirm hurt?
It is set up to be tolerable, usually with only topical numbing cream, and the linear delivery tends to feel more even than point-by-point energy. Most patients describe a warm, mild sensation along the contour without sharp pain, and the operator adjusts the rhythm to your comfort during the session.
How long does LinearFirm last, and how often should I repeat it?
Like other focused-ultrasound treatments, the effect generally holds in the range of 6 to 12 months, with individual variation, and it is typically repeated on that interval. The tightening is gradual, building over the weeks after a session, so it works best treated as periodic maintenance and not a one-time fix.
Is there any downtime after LinearFirm?
Essentially none. You can wear makeup and return to normal plans the same day. Brief redness or temporary swelling usually settles within the day, and occasionally there is a small bruise or a passing numb feeling; flying afterward is unaffected.
Can LinearFirm lift heavy sagging skin?
No. Focused ultrasound firms and refines a softening contour, but it does not haul heavy, hanging tissue upward, which is a job for threads or surgery. When significant sagging is the real driver, the consultation says so plainly and points toward a more suitable route over stacking shots that cannot meet the goal.
Who should not have LinearFirm?
It is postponed for pregnancy, an open wound or active infection over the area, metal or an implant in the treatment field pending review, and an active flare of a serious skin condition. Share your treatment history and any implants at consultation so the depth and energy are set safely.
What are the risks or side effects?
The realistic list is short and mostly transient: redness, temporary swelling, and occasionally a bruise or a brief numb feeling. The way those stay minimal is choosing the correct depth and energy for your skin thickness, and that is why the treatment is performed by the medical team and not run as a fixed package.
Why is LinearFirm cheaper than the premium lifting devices?
It is priced by shot count from a low entry line because it is positioned as an approachable, focused treatment for the lower-face contour, sitting below a full-face premium platform. That makes it easy to try as a first session, and the posted board is the same for international patients, so you can see the total before you commit.
What exactly happens at the appointment?
Four stages: a contour assessment with shot planning, a device and depth check where the shot count is shown, the linear treatment tracing energy along the jawline and under-chin, then a briefing on the gradual timeline. The focus stays below the surface, so the skin on top is left intact and you leave the same day.
Can I do LinearFirm the same day I land in Busan?
Yes. There is no recovery period and numbing is topical, so it fits a same-day arrival. Weekday hours run to 8pm, which suits an evening flight, and the clinic sits about two minutes' walk from Seomyeon Station. Same-day slots are limited, so message ahead a day to hold an evening time.
Is Busan a good place for linear HIFU compared with Seoul?
Busan runs fewer international clinics than Seoul, which tends to mean shorter waits. Seomyeon, Busan sits on the main subway crossing with weekday hours to 8pm, LinearFirm's per-shot pricing is posted openly here, and it can be planned alongside the clinic's threads and boosters in one visit. Easy access, clear pricing.
