Non-Surgical Liftingin Seoul: Ultherapy & More

A non-surgical facelift is a treatment that tightens or lifts facial tissue without incisions, using focused energy or dissolvable threads. Sagging face tissue has more than one source. The skin itself thins and loses elasticity, the fat pads under it shift downward, and the fibrous SMAS layer that surgeons tighten in a surgical facelift slackens. Each energy type reaches a different depth, so the useful question is which layer has changed in your face and which tool is built for that depth.

The table lists what the clinic offers, grouped by energy type, with the session plan from the clinic's own treatment guide.

Focused ultrasound: Ultherapy PRIME and Shurink Universe

Micro-focused ultrasound concentrates energy into small thermal points at a set depth while the skin surface stays intact. Ultherapy PRIME, made by Merz Aesthetics, is priced by shot count from 100 to 600 shots, and the clinic's guide plans one session followed by a review six to twelve months later. In a rater-blinded cohort, a single ultrasound session on the forehead raised the brow by less than 2 mm on average, with brief redness and swelling (Alam et al., 2010). That size of change is the realistic frame for a single treatment. Shurink Universe and LinearZ share one line on the price sheet and are planned at around three sessions, four weeks apart.

Radiofrequency: Thermage FLX, VOLNEWMER and DENSITY RF

Monopolar radiofrequency passes current through the skin, and the tissue's resistance turns it into heat across a broad, even zone of the dermis. Thermage FLX is sold at 600 shots for the face, with a separate Eye Thermage plan. VOLNEWMER, from Classys, comes in 300 and 600 shot plans plus Eye VOLNEWMER plans, and the clinic plans about three sessions four weeks apart. DENSITY RF by Jeisys Medical appears on the price sheet as Density Alpha, the version fitted with the ALPHA TIP. Ultrasound places its heat in separate points at a fixed depth, while RF warms a continuous sheet of tissue. That difference in where the heat lands, together with comfort and budget, is what separates the two families for a given face.

Titanium lifting, Onda and InMode

Titanium lifting runs on the Soprano Titanium platform and is priced by energy in kJ, from 30 kJ up to 90 kJ with Ethosome, plus a one-year subscription with sessions every six weeks. Onda by DEKA uses microwave energy aimed at the fat layer, with face plans at 50 or 80 kJ and a body plan that uses a 12 mm tip. InMode FORMA and FX are charged by area, from one small zone to the full face. For FX, the clinic's guide notes bruising that can last a week or longer, so it is less suited to the days right before a flight or an event.

triLift, N-gine and Super Veloce

triLift by Lumenis pairs radiofrequency heating with muscle stimulation and has separate face and eye plans. Treatment can start without numbing, and cream is applied if you want it.

N-gine is listed on the price sheet as "EMS lifting" and can be booked as a single session, a three or five session course, or one small area such as the double chin, under-eye area, forehead or front cheeks. Super Veloce is charged for the neck, the face or both together, and it also has a separate IPL mode line. The material provided by the clinic names these two devices without a maker or a working principle, so this page lists their plans and prices only. Opus by Alma, with UniFace and Coaxipolar modes, has its own page.

Thread lifting for a mechanical lift

Threads are placed under the skin with a needle or cannula, and their small cogs or cones hold soft tissue in a raised position. The thread lift menu includes Mint thread, Silhouette Soft and packages that mix PDO and PCL threads. The clinic's guide expects daily life to continue straight away, with bruising and swelling settling within 3 to 7 days, and a progress check one to three months later. A meta-analysis of thread-lift complications linked non-absorbable threads and older age with a higher complication rate and advised telling patients that the lift may not last long (Niu et al., 2021).

When a non-surgical facelift is postponed

• Pregnancy, since energy and thread treatments are elective
• Active acne, infection or a cold sore in the area to be treated
• A pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, for radiofrequency and muscle-stimulation devices
• Very heavy, folded skin, where energy devices have limited reach
• An important event within the bruising window of the chosen option

Side effects worth knowing before you book

The clinic's guide describes the expected reactions by device. After Ultherapy PRIME, tenderness, swelling and bruising can last several days. After Thermage FLX or Titanium lifting, redness and warmth fade over hours to a few days. Onda can leave redness, warmth and tenderness for a similar period. Less common problems include burns, blistering, temporary numbness and nerve irritation. A case series and literature review of micro-focused ultrasound found that serious adverse events are rare but possible and may be under-reported (Friedmann et al., 2017). With threads, the risks include visible or palpable thread ends, dimpling, infection and asymmetry.

Who plans the treatment and how to visit

Pixelab Beauty Clinic is led by one doctor, Dr. Jongkeun Song, a Korean board-certified plastic surgeon. According to its own records, Pixelab Beauty Clinic was the first plastic surgery clinic in Korea to introduce the Opus, Titanium lifting and triLift platforms. For 2025–2026, Korea's Ministry of Justice holds the clinic on its list of outstanding foreign-patient attraction institutions, and the clinic is accredited under Korea's KAHF program for foreign patients. Interpreters for English, Japanese and Chinese work on site, and partner hotels are introduced on the clinic's visit information page.

The cards below cover the three lifting lines that have no separate page on this site: triLift, N-gine and Super Veloce. Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX, Titanium lifting, Onda, InMode, VOLNEWMER and thread lifting are each priced on their own pages, linked above, because they are sold by shot count, kJ or thread type.

Every figure is the list price before tax. Korean VAT of 10% is added when you pay, and the VAT-inclusive amount is printed under each card. N-gine is the one option here sold as a course, so compare the three and five session totals with the single-session price before deciding how many visits fit your trip.
