Non-Surgical Faceliftin Seoul, Planned by Skin Layer

Ultherapy is micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V). An imaging screen shows the layers under the transducer, and energy is laid down as tiny points of heat at a chosen depth, as far down as the SMAS, the fibrous sheet that surgeons tighten during a facelift. The Ultherapy system at the clinic is a Merz Aesthetics device.

The evidence is real but modest. In a 2024 systematic review, 84% of patients reported improvement after MFU-V, yet satisfaction dropped to 62% in studies that offered a neutral answer, so some reports may have counted neutral responses as positive; pain during treatment was moderate and side effects were mostly mild (Amiri, 2024). An earlier rater-blinded study measured an average brow rise of less than 2 mm after a single forehead treatment (Alam, 2010).

Shurink Universe is high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) used at preset depths without an imaging screen, and it is charged by the shot, with a 100-shot option around the eyes. A 2025 review called HIFU promising for face and neck rejuvenation and noted that complications can still follow a minimally invasive treatment (Welc, 2025). At the clinic an Ultherapy session lasts about 30–60 minutes and a Shurink Universe session about 20–40 minutes, both after numbing cream. A dull ache along the jawline and cheekbones can last one to two weeks, and swelling three to seven days.

Microwave energy is absorbed by the subcutaneous fat, and Onda pairs it with a cooled handpiece so the skin surface stays protected while heat builds underneath. The device comes from DEKA. It suits fullness along the lower cheeks and jawline as well as body areas, it is done without anesthesia, and a face session runs about 30–45 minutes. The clinic plans one to three face sessions spaced two to four weeks apart and expects the result to hold for about 6–12 months.

Radiofrequency heats the dermis, the collagen-rich part of the skin itself, with the aim of tightening existing collagen and prompting new collagen in the months after. Thermage FLX is monopolar radiofrequency delivered through a treatment tip, and a smaller tip treats the eyelid area as Eye Thermage. The clinic's guidance is a single session about once a year, with the effect appearing over two to six months and lasting around 12–18 months. A session takes about 45–90 minutes depending on the tip and the area.

XERF is a second radiofrequency device on the menu, also priced by the shot and also offered as a 100-shot eye-area treatment. One session is planned every six to twelve months, and a session lasts about 30–60 minutes after numbing cream.

Virtue RF adds fine needles to radiofrequency (RF microneedling), releasing heat inside the dermis through tiny channels. It is planned as three sessions four weeks apart. Numbing cream goes on for about 30 minutes before the 30–45-minute treatment, and the skin can stay red for one to three days.

Titanium lifting is a diode-laser treatment that warms the skin in quick, repeated passes. It needs no anesthesia and takes about 20–30 minutes. Because the clinic's guidance puts the result at three to six months, the treatment is planned as a course of three to five sessions, two to four weeks apart, and a three-session package is listed for that reason.

After the radiofrequency, microwave and laser treatments, redness, warmth or a throbbing feeling for about a week is a normal reaction. The clinic recommends leaving one week before Botox or filler so the skin has settled.

A thread lift works mechanically. Under local anesthesia, absorbable barbed threads are passed under the skin through a fine needle and hold loosened tissue in a higher position; as the threads dissolve, collagen forms around them. The menu lists MINT threads by the thread for the face, the nasolabial folds and the double chin, a volume thread for under-eye, nasolabial and Indian-line grooves, and a custom forehead thread lift.

The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes. Swelling and bruising last three to seven days and a tight feeling two to four weeks; avoid opening the mouth wide for four weeks and do not rub the face downward. The clinic's guidance is to fly home two to three days later and to repeat after 6–12 months. A meta-analysis linked non-absorbable threads and older age with more complications and advised explaining beforehand that the lift may not last long (Niu, 2021).

Three combined sets are listed. The lightest pairs 40,000 J of titanium lifting with 400 shots of Shurink Universe. A second set adds 200 shots of XERF and a skin botox or booster injection to the same titanium and Shurink doses. The fullest set combines titanium lifting, 200 shots of XERF and 400 shots of Ultherapy with a CellREDM or Re2O booster. Each set is one appointment, so the downtime of its strongest part applies.

The clinic is led by Dr. Jang Jin-woo, a Korean board-certified plastic surgeon who trained at Kyung Hee University Medical Center and concentrates on eyelid and facelift surgery. Dr. Choi Yul, a family medicine specialist, focuses on Botox, injections and pigment treatment, the skin botox in the combined sets included. ENTER Plastic Surgery holds Ministry of Health and Welfare registration M-2023-01-08-7461 as a medical institution for international patients, and English-speaking staff are available at the clinic.
