Doublo HIFU explained

Doublo is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device made by Hironic, a Korean company. Versions include Doublo Gold. It is a lower-cost lifting option used widely in Seoul.


How Doublo HIFU works

Doublo sends focused ultrasound to fixed depths in the skin and the SMAS layer. Each pulse creates tiny heated points that tighten tissue and start new collagen. Different cartridges target different depths. Results improve gradually over the next few months.
