Why choose this?
Core effects of this treatment — what it solves and what to expect.
Firming Adherent Lift Radiofrequency energy induces collagen regeneration in the dermis, so you can experience elasticity building from deep within the skin over time.
Pore Reduction & Smoother Texture Loosened skin tissue and enlarged pores are tightened, refining dull, rough skin into a noticeably smoother, softer surface.
Fine Line Smoothing By strengthening skin layers thinned with age, fine lines from the eye area to the whole face smooth out naturally while healthy elasticity is maintained.

FAQ
Common questions patients ask about this treatment.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound to target the deep SMAS layer, making it excellent for 'lifting' sagging skin. Thermage uses radiofrequency to regenerate collagen in the dermal layer, focusing on 'tightening' the skin and improving fine lines. We recommend the appropriate procedure or a combination therapy for synergistic effects based on your skin condition.
While some improvement can be felt immediately after the procedure, the most noticeable effects appear over 2-3 months as collagen regenerates. The duration varies depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle, but effects generally last for over a year. Consistent maintenance can help prolong the results.
It varies by individual, but you may feel a slight warming or aching sensation. For most people, applying a numbing cream is sufficient. Our medical staff carefully adjusts the intensity during the procedure to minimize discomfort. If you are sensitive to pain, please let us know in advance so we can help you feel more comfortable.
Most of our lifting/anti-aging procedures are non-surgical and do not require a separate recovery period. There might be slight redness or swelling immediately after, but it typically subsides within a few hours, and you can apply makeup or wash your face as usual. You can receive treatment without worry, even before an important event.
The skin around the eyes is much thinner and more sensitive than other parts of the face, requiring a delicate approach. Eye-area specific treatments like Eye Ultherapy and Eye Rejuran use specially designed tips or ingredients to safely deliver energy or nutrients. This effectively improves concerns like droopy eyelids, fine lines, and dark circles.
Everyone has different skin thickness, causes of sagging, and aging progression. At Yonsei Star Dermatology, our experienced dermatologists will precisely diagnose your skin condition and propose the most effective treatment plan.
