HIFU Lifting in Seoul –
Pladen Skin Clinic
What Is HIFU Lifting?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) lifting is a non-surgical skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in deeper skin layers. By targeting the structural layers beneath the skin, HIFU helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and facial contours over time.
At Pladen Skin Clinic, HIFU lifting is performed under doctor supervision, with treatment plans customized based on skin condition and aging concerns.
Common Areas Treated With HIFU Lifting
HIFU lifting is commonly used to improve:
- Jawline and lower face laxity
- Cheeks and mid-face sagging
- Nasolabial folds and marionette areas
- Neck and under-chin area
- Forehead and brow area
Treatment depth and intensity are adjusted depending on the area and skin thickness.
Why People Choose HIFU Lifting
HIFU lifting may be considered by individuals who want to:
- Improve mild to moderate skin sagging
- Achieve lifting without surgery or downtime
- Stimulate natural collagen production
- Delay or avoid surgical facelift procedures
- Maintain a natural-looking result
HIFU lifting focuses on skin tightening, not volume enhancement.
How HIFU Lifting Works
HIFU lifting works by:
- Delivering focused ultrasound energy to targeted depths
- Creating controlled thermal points in deeper skin layers
- Triggering collagen contraction and regeneration
- Gradually improving skin firmness and lift
Results develop progressively rather than immediately.
Who May Be Suitable for HIFU Lifting?
HIFU lifting may be suitable for adults who:
- Have mild to moderate facial or neck laxity
- Prefer non-surgical rejuvenation
- Want gradual, natural improvement
- Have realistic expectations
- Have been medically evaluated and approved
A consultation is required to determine suitability.
