TL;DR: Both are HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) devices. Ulthera (USA) is the original FDA-cleared HIFU with MFU-V technology and real-time ultrasound visualization. CLASSYS Ultraformer III (Korea) is the #1 market share HIFU with 114 patents and multi-depth cartridges (1.5/3.0/4.5mm).

HIFU treatment in Bangkok ranges from ฿15,000-80,000 depending on the device and treatment area. Ultraformer starts from ฿15,000, Ulthera from ฿40,000-80,000 for full face. This is 40-60% less than Singapore or Japan pricing.
HIFU and thread lifts address different concerns. HIFU works by tightening skin through focused ultrasound (no incisions, zero downtime). Thread lifts physically reposition sagging tissue (minimal downtime, more dramatic lift). HIFU is better for mild laxity and prevention; thread lifts for moderate sagging. Many patients combine both.
