I. What is a hospital on Jeju Island with CDU? An overview of its core advantages

🌊 With피부과 is located on the 2nd floor of the With Hotel at No. 34 Nyoeon-ro, Jeju City (제주특별자치도 제주시 노연로 34 위드호텔 202호). Its prime location makes it just a 10-15-minute drive from Jeju International Airport, and it is also adjacent to the Jeju Dream Tower (Grand Casino Hotel). What sets it apart is that the clinic is right within the hotel building, allowing guests staying at the hotel to receive medical treatments right away, truly integrating accommodation and treatment into one convenient experience.

1. One-on-one customization services provided by the hospital leadership team 💼

👨‍⚕️ The driving force behind this hospital is Director Choi Seok-min. With many years of clinical experience in Dermatology, he insists on creating personalized treatment plans for each patient. Whether it’s the energy settings for HIFU treatments, the depth of the needles used in Potenza sessions, or the post-treatment care recommendations, everything is carefully tailored to fit each client’s facial proportions, skin condition, and individual needs. This approach, which rejects a standardized, mass-produced model, is truly rare in South Korea’s cosmetic industry.

💡 The director is known for his natural and unexaggerated style, and his posts on Instagram and REDnote have always received a lot of attention. Many girls from Taiwan and Hong Kong even fly specially to him for treatments. If you want to know the detailed price comparisons and reservation information for Thermage treatments at this clinic on Jeju Island, we previously published a comprehensive analysis article that you can refer to.

2. Equipment Configuration: The abundance of high-quality instruments is undoubtedly the biggest highlight 🔬

🛠️ The hospital has introduced several of the latest devices from 2026, covering a wide range of treatments ranging from anti-aging and tightening to skin repair:

✨ Compared to other clinics that may focus on only 1-2 types of treatments, With Hospital boasts one of the most comprehensive sets of equipment on Jeju Island. At this one clinic, you can receive a complete anti-aging treatment package that includes HIFU, Potenza, and Thermage – without having to visit multiple clinics, thus saving a great deal of time and effort.

3. Transportation Guidelines and Business Information 🗺️

🚌 The transportation to With Hospital is extremely convenient:

🏨 If you choose to stay at the With Hotel, you can return to your room immediately after your treatment to rest in complete privacy. This makes it especially suitable for those who don’t want acquaintances to see them undergoing beauty treatments.

II. HIFU (Shurink Universe): The hospital’s top-tier treatment option

🔊 HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is currently one of the most popular non-invasive anti-aging treatments worldwide. The Shurink Universe device used in medical institutions is the latest generation of HIFU equipment developed in South Korea. Compared to the traditional Ulthera system, it offers significant improvements in pain control and treatment effectiveness.

1. Technical principle: It pulls the skin back, just like a rubber band 🧵

🔬 The core principle of Shurink Universe is to utilize focused ultrasonic energy to precisely penetrate the epidermal layer, concentrating heat directly on the dermis and even the SMAS fascia layer (what we commonly refer to as the “facial suspension cords”). When these deeper layers contract due to the heat, it’s similar to a rubber band being stretched tight, which in turn pulls the surface skin upward, tightening and firming it.

💡 More importantly, thermal stimulation also activates the body’s own Collagen regeneration mechanism. Within 1 to 3 months after the treatment, newly produced Collagen continues to fill in the areas that have become loose, resulting in increasingly noticeable effects. This is precisely why the results of HIFU exhibit a “delayed peak” phenomenon – immediate after the treatment, you may only observe 30% of the expected results, but the full effect becomes apparent after 3 months.

2. Shurink Universe vs other HIFU methods: What are its advantages? ⚡

🆚 Many people wonder: With so many HIFU devices on the market – such as Ulthera, Doublo, Z-wave, etc. – what exactly makes Shurink Universe stand out? Here are the key differences:

🎯 One of the most notable features is the MP mode (Micro-Plasma continuous focusing) – this is a proprietary technology of Shurink Universe that enables effective energy delivery while minimizing discomfort. Many people who are sensitive to pain have reported: “Compared to the previous Ulthera treatment, it’s really much more comfortable!”

3. Effects and duration: What can you expect? ✨

📈 The effects of HIFU are achieved gradually over time. Here is a typical timeline:

⚠️ It is important to note that the effects of HIFU vary from person to person. Generally, older individuals with more pronounced skin laxity tend to experience more noticeable results, while younger people may use it more as a form of “preventive maintenance.” Dr. Choi Si-min will provide you with personalized recommendations regarding the number of treatments based on your specific circumstances during the consultation.

III. Potenza: The ultimate solution for acne scars and Pores

💉 While HIFU addresses the issue of “tissue laxity and sagging,” Potenza Gold Microneedle is a powerful solution for problems related to “skin quality” – such as acne scars, enlarged Pores, fine lines, scars, and uneven skin tone. For these persistent skin concerns that have bothered you for years, Potenza offers effective treatment options.

1. What is Potenza Potenza? How does it work? 🔬

🔍 Potenza is a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It uses extremely fine gold needles with a diameter of only about 0.1-0.2 millimeters to quickly penetrate the skin, while simultaneously releasing radiofrequency heat at the tip of the needles. This dual mechanism produces two significant effects:

📌 Physical stimulation: The tiny wounds created by microneedling activate the body’s self-repair mechanisms, promoting the massive regeneration of Collagen and elastin – making it particularly effective for issues such as acne scars and wrinkles that require “re-filling”.

📌 Thermal effect: RF energy acts directly on the dermis, tightening existing collagen fibers and promoting their regeneration – this makes it particularly effective in addressing “loose” skin issues such as enlarged Pores and fine lines.

💡 The greatest advantage of Potenza lies in its ability to precisely adjust both the needle depth and the energy intensity – there are a total of 7 settings ranging from 0.5mm to 3.0mm. Doctors can make personalized adjustments based on the thickness of the skin in different areas and the severity of the issues. For example, 0.5mm can be used around the eyes (for sensitive, thin skin), 1.5mm for the Forehead (for moderate acne scars), and 2.0–2.5mm for the cheeks (for deep acne scars).

2. Which skin issues can it effectively address? 🎯

📋 Potenza has a very wide range of indications. Below are some of the most common treatment cases at With Hospital:

⚠️ Special reminder: For those with severe acne during the active phase (cystic acne), it is not recommended to undergo Potenza treatment directly. It is advisable to first control the inflammation through medication or laser therapy before proceeding to the recovery phase. During the consultation, Dr. Cui Ximin will assess the condition of your acne and determine a safe treatment sequence for you.

3. Recovery Period and Post-Surgery Care: Everything You Need to Know 💆‍♀️

📅 Compared to HIFU, which requires almost no recovery time, Potenza does require some time to heal: On the day of treatment, there will be noticeable redness and mild swelling; from the 1st to the 3rd day, the redness gradually subsides, but the skin becomes dry and peels (makeup application, exfoliation, and hot spring baths are strictly prohibited); by the 4th to the 7th day, the skin has mostly returned to normal, and initial improvements in skin quality can be observed; during the 2nd to the 4th week, Collagen continues to be produced, and the effects become increasingly visible. It is essential to take strict sun protection measures after the procedure (SPF50+ PA++++).

IV. HIFU vs Potenza: How to choose the right option without making mistakes?

🤔 Many people who are new to the aesthetic industry often wonder: “Should I choose HIFU or Potenza?” In fact, these two options are not mutually exclusive—they address completely different issues. Here’s the simplest way to help you decide:

1. Reasons for choosing HIFU 👆

👉 If your main concerns are “a larger face,” “a blurred jawline,” “deepened Nasolabial Fold Correction,” or an increasingly noticeable Double Chin – in other words, issues related to facial shape and contours – then you should consider HIFU as your top priority.

2. When to choose Potenza 👇

👉 Your facial contours are still okay, but up close, the quality of your skin is quite poor – large Pores, visible acne scars, numerous fine lines, and a dull complexion. Or perhaps you have specific acne scars or marks that you would like to have corrected. In that case, you should give Potenza priority.

3. A situation where both parties want to do it ✌️

👉 In fact, many people suffer from both problems: some degree of skin laxity, as well as acne scars and enlarged Pores. The combined treatment of HIFU and Potenza is completely feasible! It is recommended to undergo HIFU first (to address the Lifting issues at the deeper layers of the skin), and then proceed with Potenza 2–4 weeks later (to improve the quality of the skin’s surface). Hospitals can help you create a comprehensive anti-aging treatment plan tailored to your needs.

V. Comprehensive Analysis of Hospital Prices and the Advantages of Jeju Island 💰

💰 When it comes to prices, this is definitely the aspect that everyone cares most about. A major strength of these hospitals is their transparent pricing policy – there are no arbitrary price increases just because you are a tourist; all service fees are clearly listed and made public. Moreover, Jeju Island offers natural cost advantages compared to similar services in Seoul.

1. Why are the prices on Jeju Island cheaper than those in Seoul? 🏝️

📊 According to market research and data collected from local residents who reported that HIFU treatments on Jeju Island are at least 20% cheaper than in Seoul, the prices of HIFU and Potenza treatments on Jeju Island are generally 15%-25% lower than those in Seoul’s Gangnam district. There are three main reasons for this: first, commercial rent costs on Jeju are much lower than in Gangnam; second, although the number of clinics is smaller, the customer base is stable, so there is no need for vicious price competition; third, tourism spending and tax-free policies contribute to an overall high cost-performance ratio.

2. List of reference prices (up to date in 2026) 📋

⚠️ The prices listed below are for reference only; the actual fees will be determined based on the hospital’s quotation after a face-to-face consultation. It is recommended to book through the BeautsGO platform to enjoy the latest discount rates.

🎁 Tip: When booking through the BeautsGO platform, you often get exclusive package discounts (such as combining HIFU with baby needle treatments), which are much more cost-effective than purchasing these services individually!

VII. Comprehensive Reviews of PTT/Dcard: What Do People Think? 💬

📱 We have compiled genuine discussions and reviews regarding Jeju Island With Hospital from the TPT beauty forums in Taiwan and the Dcard communities in Hong Kong/Taiwan for your reference:

1. PTT BeautyBoard Discussion Summary 📝

🗣️ Netizen A (PTT BeautyBoard, February 2026): “I specifically flew to Jeju Island to get the SWOMAN Shurink Universe treatment, and the pain level was much lower compared to Ulthera treatments in Taiwan! After the procedure, my facial contours were significantly improved, especially my jawline. The price was roughly only 60% of what it costs in Taiwan.”

🗣️ Netizen B (PTT BeautyBoard, March 2026): “I went to With for the third time and tried the Potenza Potenza treatment for acne scars. After three sessions, the ice-cone-shaped scars have indeed faded significantly! The recovery period takes about 5 days, so make sure to leave enough time when planning your schedule.”

2. Sharing Insights from the Dcard Community 💭

🗣️ Netizen C (Dcard, April 2026): “I spent three days on Jeju Island and took the opportunity to schedule a HIFU treatment there. The environment was great and very welcoming. I was initially nervous before the procedure, but the therapist kept me engaged in conversations, which helped distract me. By the third week, I noticed that my face had become tighter!”

🗣️ Netizen D (Dcard, May 2026): “After comparing three clinics on Jeju Island, I found that While the price is not the lowest, its facilities are the most comprehensive. If you want to undergo a full range of anti-aging treatments (ultrasonic therapy + microneedling + hyaluronic acid injections), With’s one-stop service is definitely the most cost-effective option.”

📌 Comprehensive Review Summary: Positive reviews mainly focused on four aspects: brand-new equipment, direct operation by the clinic director, seamless communication in Chinese, and transparent pricing. Negative comments primarily concerned difficulties in making appointments during peak seasons and occasional waiting times, but these are common issues in popular clinics.

X. Frequently Asked Questions ❓

1. Is it very painful to undergo HIFU? Is it necessary to apply an anesthetic? 💊

🔸 The discomfort experienced with Shurink Universe is significantly lower than that of traditional Ulthera treatments. Most people describe it as “similar to having a rubber band snap against the face,” and it is completely tolerable. Those who are sensitive to pain can apply an anesthetic cream in advance. Moreover, Director Cui’s technique is particularly gentle.

2. Can I wear makeup during the recovery period after gold microneedling? How many days will it take before I can go out in public again? 💄

🔸 It is recommended not to wear makeup for at least 3 days after the procedure. Redness and peeling may occur in the first 1-2 days, improving by the 3rd-4th day, and fully recovering by the 5th-7th day. For important appointments, it is advisable to allow a one-week buffer period.

3. Can these two procedures be done on the same day? 📅

🔸 It is not recommended to perform these procedures simultaneously, as it will increase the burden on the skin and prolong the recovery time. It is advised to space them out by 2 to 4 weeks.

4. Are the instruments used in the hospital really genuine products? ✅

🔸 Shurink Universe, Thermage FLX, and Potenza are all genuine original products, and their authenticity can be verified through the device serial numbers in the Korean medical equipment database.

5. Can I go to the beach or soak in hot springs after doing this? 🌊

🔸 You can engage in normal activities on the day of HIFU treatment (including going to the beach), but be sure to protect your skin from the sun. It is recommended to avoid high-temperature environments such as hot springs or saunas for at least 1 week after the treatment, and also refrain from participating in water activities that involve immersion within 7 days.

6. Can you get a tax refund while undergoing cosmetic procedures in Jizhou Island? 💰

🔸 Absolutely! Visitors holding foreign passports can apply for cash tax refunds at the airport after spending a certain amount (around 4-7%). Don’t forget to ask the hospital for the tax refund documents; you’ll need to get them stamped by the customs before leaving the country to collect your cash refund.
