EMFACE alternative in Busan
Boom Dermatology does not use EMFACE. For the goals patients bring to it, a lifted lower face and firmer skin without needles or downtime, we use XERF for the skin layer and InMode for a quick, gentle refresh. Here is what each does, what it costs, and when we would send you elsewhere.

Straight answer
Do you have EMFACE in Busan?
No. EMFACE
(BTL) combines synchronised radiofrequency with HIFES, electrical stimulation that contracts the facial muscles, in a twenty-minute hands-free session, usually sold as a course of four. We looked at it and chose not to carry it, for reasons set out below. What most patients want from EMFACE at a Busan skin clinic is firmer skin and a lifted lower face with no needles and no downtime. For the skin, XERF
delivers monopolar RF deeper and more precisely than a surface pad; for the quick, gentle refresh, InMode
does it in ten minutes for ₩220,000. For the muscle-lift component, which EMFACE does and RF does not, the honest substitute is ultrasound on the SMAS ( Shurink
or Ultherapy), not another RF device.

EMFACE
Skin RF + muscle stimulation, hands-free, course of four
Every device in the table is performed by the doctor at our Seomyeon skin clinic, with shot counts and energy written on your record, and the price shown is the VAT-included price you pay.

Choose
Which EMFACE alternative is right for you?
Pick the goal you had in mind for EMFACE and the doctor will confirm the device at a free consultation. The consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic is free when you proceed.
EMFACE does skin and muscle at once but neither as deeply as a dedicated device. We prefer to dose each layer separately.
Course economics
Four sessions at typical EMFACE pricing cost more than one XERF plus two InMode sessions, for a result that holds about as long.
Dosing on record
Our devices log shots and energy per zone on your record. A hands-free pad protocol does not give the doctor that control.

Questions, answered properly
Will the result be the same as EMFACE?
Comparable for skin firmness, and stronger for a lower-face lift when ultrasound is used, because the energy goes to the SMAS rather than to the muscles above it. What you will not get is the hands-free, no-contact feel of EMFACE, and the four-session rhythm. If that rhythm is what you want, a course of three InMode sessions is the closest match at our Seomyeon skin clinic.
Is it worth travelling elsewhere in Korea for EMFACE?
If you want EMFACE specifically, Seoul has clinics that run it and we will not pretend otherwise. If you want the result, our two-layer plan in one visit in Busan costs less than a four-session EMFACE course and is dosed by the doctor per zone. Many patients come to Busan for exactly that trade.
Why do you say ultrasound for the lift and not RF?
Because the lift EMFACE claims comes from stimulating the facial muscles, and no radiofrequency device lifts; RF tightens skin. The non-surgical treatment that actually moves the supporting layer is focused ultrasound on the SMAS, which is why we pair Shurink or Ultherapy with XERF rather than selling one RF device as a lift.
Good to know
EMFACE questions patients ask our Busan skin clinic first
1
Do you have EMFACE in Busan?
No. Boom Dermatology does not carry EMFACE. We use XERF for the skin layer, InMode for a quick refresh, and Shurink or Ultherapy for the lifting component.
2
What is the closest alternative to EMFACE?
For skin tightening without downtime, XERF or Oligio. For a hands-free-feeling short session, InMode. For a lower-face lift, Shurink on the SMAS.
3
How much do the alternatives cost?
InMode from ₩220,000, Shurink from ₩66,000, Oligio ₩495,000, XERF ₩1,100,000, all VAT included.
4
Is there downtime?
None for any of the alternatives. Fly the same evening.
5
Can I get the muscle-lift effect without EMFACE?
The non-surgical lift of the supporting layer comes from focused ultrasound on the SMAS, which we do with Shurink or Ultherapy.
6
Who performs the alternatives?
The doctor, with shot counts and energy on your record.
Send a photo and the result you were hoping for. The doctor names the device we would use for the same goal, the shot count and the VAT-included price, before you book a flight to Busan.
