Patient cases this treatment is for. See if your concern fits.
When you want a sharp V-line
For those who want to complete a sharp V-line contour with a lifting that powerfully pulls up the deep SMAS layer — sagging facial lines, deep cheeks, and double chin.
Eye-area correction that changes first impressions
For those who want to regain bright, lively eyes by improving tired-looking eyelid drooping and under-eye wrinkles with a precise treatment for thin, sensitive eye-area skin.
Natural, undetectable lifting
For those who want fast, natural lifting without surgery for dull, elasticity-lost skin.
Deepening wrinkle concerns
For those who want to awaken the skin's collagen cells and restore wrinkled skin to smooth, volume-filled skin as fine lines deepen.
Why choose this?
Core effects of this treatment — what it solves and what to expect.
Lifting from the Deepest Skin Layers High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) reaches beyond the surface to the deep SMAS layer — the root of sagging — contracting the tissue and powerfully lifting it.
Volume Restoration through Collagen Regeneration Ultrasound thermal energy stimulates aged collagen and induces new collagen production, improving fine lines and restoring natural elasticity and volume.
Safe, Non-Surgical Procedures A non-surgical lifting performed with ultrasound alone — no scalpel, no injections — so you can return to daily life right after the procedure, without incisions or sedation.

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.
