What is V-Max Lifting?

• V-Max is a non-surgical skin-lifting treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to target the SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) layer, dermis and deeper tissue layers — stimulating contraction and collagen regeneration.
• The device is developed in Korea and features multiple handpieces/depth settings to treat face, jawline, neck and even some body areas.
• Benefits claimed: lift, tighten & define facial contours (jawline, cheeks, neck), improve skin laxity, refine V-line contour.

What areas / concerns can it treat?

• Jawline & under-chin (improve sagging and define the lower-face contour)
• Cheeks, nasolabial folds and mid-face sagging
• Neck & décolletage — for mild to moderate skin laxity
• Note: It is more of a “contour refinement / lifting maintenance” treatment rather than dramatic surgical lifting.

How does the treatment work & what to expect?

Before treatment

• An initial consultation to assess skin condition, sagging level, target zones and whether V-Max is the appropriate choice or a deeper lift/thread/surgical option is required.
• Check for contraindications (e.g., active skin infections, certain implants, extremely thin skin).
• No major preparation typically required.

During treatment

• Handpiece is applied to the target areas. Ultrasound energy is focused at specified depths (e.g., 3.0 mm, 4.5 mm) to stimulate tissue contraction and collagen formation.
• Sensations: warm or tingling feeling, sometimes mild discomfort but no cutting or incisions. Many clinics advertise “comfortable, minimal pain”.
• Duration: depends on area — many clinics list ~20-40 minutes. One event listing noted ~30 minutes for “1000 shots”.

After treatment & downtime

• Minimal downtime: you can typically resume most daily activities immediately. Some mild redness or warmth may occur but resolves quickly. Clinic sources highlight “zero to minimal recovery”.
• Results develop gradually: early tightening may be seen within a few weeks; fuller contour improvement over 8-12 weeks as collagen remodelling occurs.
• Maintenance: To sustain effects, repeat sessions may be recommended every 6-12 months depending on skin condition and ageing progression.

Why choose Seoul / Korea for V-Max Lifting?

• Korean clinics are at the forefront of introducing new lifting devices like V-Max, offering refined protocols and experience with HIFU treatments.
• For international clients: many Seoul clinics (especially in Gangnam) provide English-friendly consultations, transparent menus including treatments like V-Max Lifting.
• You can combine V-Max with other treatments (threads, fillers, RF microneedling) for a comprehensive non-surgical contouring strategy.

Typical pricing guideline (Seoul)

• Concrete prices for V-Max are less frequently published than some other treatments. One event listing for “V-Max! 1000 Shots of HIFU Lifting” in Seoul had a promotional price of ₩183,000.
• Realistic pricing will depend on: treatment area (full face vs specific zones), number of shots/handpieces, clinic’s brand/device model, session count.
• For your website: you may present a price range (e.g., “From ~₩200,000 and up depending on area and clinic”) with a note that exact quote is given at consultation.

Important considerations & checklist ✅

• ✅ Confirm that the clinic uses a genuine V-Max HIFU device (not a low-grade immitation) and that the practitioner is experienced in HIFU lifting.
• ✅ Understand what depths/handpieces will be used and how many “shots” or “points” will be applied — more shots often mean more coverage but also cost.
• ✅ Ask about number of sessions recommended: for mild sagging one session may suffice; for more advanced sagging multiple sessions or combined treatments may be better.
• ✅ Set realistic expectations: while V-Max offers lifting/tightening, it is not a surgical facelift — results will be natural and incremental.
• ✅ After-care: although downtime is minimal, you should still protect skin (sun protection, gentle skincare), maintain stable weight, avoid heavy sun/sauna immediately if recommended by your clinic.
• ✅ Suitable candidate criteria: good skin health, mild-moderate sagging, realistic goals, willing to maintain results.

After-care & how to maximise results

• Stay well-hydrated, get sufficient rest and avoid smoking — these support collagen health.
• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Protecting your skin from UV helps maintain the improved tone and firmness.
• Continue a healthy skincare regimen and avoid harsh treatments immediately after for a few days if your clinic advises so.
• Maintain stable weight — significant weight fluctuations can undermine lifting results.
• Consider combining with complementary treatments such as thread lifts or fillers if more contouring is needed.
