Non-Surgical Lifting & Skin Tightening

Physician-directed SMAS ultrasound, monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, Coolwaves microwave contouring, and vector thread lifting tailored to your facial anatomy at ReYeonK Clinic in Gangnam.

Treatment Overview & Clinical Mechanism

ReYeonK Clinic's Non-Surgical Lifting & Skin Tightening center delivers multi-layer facial rejuvenation by targeting the superficial dermis, subcutaneous fat compartments, and deep SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) fascia without surgical incisions. Our comprehensive energy-based portfolio spans Ultherapy (including Ultherapy Prime SMAS HIFU, Eye Ultherapy, and the combined Ulthermage protocol), Thermage FLX, ONDA Lifting (DEKA Coolwaves microwave), Shurink Universe, Density (monopolar and bipolar RF with Classic, Alpha, and High tips), InMode Lifting (strictly facial-only Mini FX and FORMA), SHENB Virtue RF (including Virtue Eye), Thread Lifting, and EyeThera.

Every lifting plan begins with a 1:1 physician-direct consultation and anatomical vector mapping led by Dr. Lee Doochan, Dr. Kim Hyunsu, and Dr. Choi Hyunho. By evaluating skin thickness, fat pad descent, and ligament laxity, our physicians calibrate focal depths and energy density to lift sagging contours while preventing unintended facial hollowing.

Ideal Candidates & Target Concerns

Mild-to-moderate lower-face laxity, jowling, and blunted jawline contours
Submental fullness, double chin accumulation, and sagging buccal fat pads
Periorbital hooding, upper/lower eyelid crepe skin, and brow ptosis
Deepening nasolabial folds and marionette lines requiring structural elevation
Patients seeking progressive collagen remodeling with minimal social recovery

Step-by-Step Procedure Process

1:1 Physician Consultation & Vector Mapping: Personalized anatomical assessment of skin thickness, fat distribution, and lifting vectors.
Pre-Treatment Cleansing & Analgesia: Gentle medical cleansing followed by customized topical numbing or cooling preparation.
Precision Energy or Thread Delivery: Layer-specific delivery of ultrasound, RF, microwave energy, or absorbable threads using genuine tips.
Post-Treatment Soothing & Barrier Care: Cooling mask application and personalized post-care guidance.

Post-Treatment Care & Clinical Safety Notice

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 3 to 7 days post-procedure.
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) and hydrating barrier creams daily.
Refrain from aggressive facial massage or exfoliating scrubs for at least 1 week.

Individual results vary depending on skin thickness, age, and tissue elasticity. Potential temporary side effects include localized erythema (redness), mild edema (swelling), tenderness, bruising, or transient sensory changes, which typically resolve within a few days to two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX be combined in a single visit?

Yes. Our signature Ulthermage protocol pairs deep SMAS lifting via Ultherapy with full-thickness dermal collagen tightening from Thermage FLX for multi-dimensional rejuvenation.

Q. How do you prevent cheek hollowing during HIFU or microwave lifting?

Our physicians mark retention ligaments and fat-deficient zones prior to treatment, directing higher energy only to heavy jowl or submental pockets while sparing sunken mid-cheek areas. For personalized consultation, please visit Contact Us.
