Korean focused ultrasound that can deliver energy in continuous lines as well as dots, at set depths under the skin.
Book a consultationWhat is LinearZ
LinearZ is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device made by Jeisys in Korea. Like other HIFU devices, it focuses ultrasound to small points under the skin, where the heat contracts tissue and prompts new collagen — without affecting the surface.
Its distinguishing feature is a linear mode: instead of only firing separate dots, it can deliver energy in continuous lines. Cartridges target different depths, from the dermis down to the SMAS layer that a surgical lift works on.
It is fast, which shortens treatment time, and is one of several Korean HIFU devices used alongside Ultherapy.
