HIFU Treatment in Korea
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an effective non-surgical treatment method that selectively targets and removes specific diseases using high-intensity ultrasound energy, which is harmless to the human body.
IFU treats uterine tumors by focusing ultrasound energy, eliminating the need for incisions. The procedure precisely targets tumors, preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Before treatment, the location and shape of the tumor, as well as the patient’s health condition, are meticulously evaluated to ensure optimal outcomes.

Responsible HIFU treatment
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment carefully targets uterine tumors, achieving necrosis of 80% to 90% of the tumor volume to prevent damage to the endometrium from powerful heat energy.
Necrotic tissue is gradually absorbed by the body through lymphatic circulation or discharged through the uterine cavity. Over time, this results in a gradual reduction in the size of uterine fibroids and alleviation of symptoms.
Providing responsible HIFU treatment involves ensuring thorough follow-up care after the procedure to monitor recovery and address any potential side effects.
