Lifting selection guide explained by a dermatologist
We guide the lifting direction by distinguishing whether the deep support layer such as the jaw line and sagging cheeks is the problem, whether the skin is loose and fine wrinkles are increased, or whether the amount of fat in the double chin and cheek volume loss should be looked at together.
Lifting is not a procedure determined by strong pulling alone. Problems may start in different places, such as sagging jawline, skin elasticity, double chin, skin texture, and fine lines around the eyes.
Rather than choosing a lifting device based solely on the name of the equipment, it is better to look at where sagging, skin thickness, fat, fine wrinkles, complexion, and volume loss are considered.
Seoul N Dermatology Clinic differentiates the roles of verified devices—Thermage, Ultherapy Prime, V-RO Advance, Oligio, Exilis, AirJet 2, G-Wave, Ollaom, and Ollaum—and consults while taking your recovery schedule into account.
Lifting starts with seeing where things have changed
Even if it is the same lifting, the viewing position is different.
Lifting equipment may have different names, but in the end, “what depth to look at” is important. The approach may be different when looking at superficially visible fine wrinkles and when looking at sagging jawline.
Ultrasound Liftingis mainly discussed when looking at the deep support layer of the skin. You may seek consultation if your jaw line is blurred or your cheeks feel sunken.
Radiofrequency TighteningThis is a method that transfers heat energy to the elastic layer within the skin to check for looseness, fine wrinkles, and decreased skin density.
If you have concerns about skin tone, pores, and texture, you can look at laser lift toning together. For double chins or dull facial lines, it is recommended to check the fat layer and elasticity together.
When it comes to lifting, rather than just increasing strength, the process of checking which part of your face has changed first is more important.
Approach by skin layer
outer layer of skinVisible changes such as skin texture, pores, and fine wrinkles
elastic layer in the skinSkin feels loose and weak
deep support baseJaw line, sagging cheeks, sagging lower face
Fat layer under the chin and facial lineDouble chin, dull-looking face line
Deep Layer
HIFU/ultrasound
Consider this when looking at deep-seated feelings, such as a blurred jawline or sagging cheeks.
Dermis
RF/radiofrequency
When the overall skin feels loose and fine wrinkles increase, the elastic layer within the skin is examined.
Tone & Texture
Laser Lift Toning
You can consult us if you are concerned about dull complexion, pores, skin texture, and shallow elasticity.
Contour
Fat removal/contouring equipment
Check when fat and sagging appear together, such as a double chin, heaviness in the lower face, or a dull jawline.
Layering
composite equipment
When dividing large areas into narrow areas such as around the eyes and mouth, various equipment can be considered together.
Ultherapy Prime / V-RO Advance
When your jaw line is blurred and your cheeks feel sunken
If your jawline looks duller than before or your cheeks feel sunken, treatment that only tightens the skin may be disappointing.
Ultherapy Prime is an ultrasound lifting device that uses real-time ultrasound imaging to verify skin layers and depth while delivering microfocused ultrasound energy to deep support structures (SMAS and fibrous septa) to address cheek sagging and jawline laxity.
VRO Advance utilizes both ultrasound and radiofrequency, which can be helpful in viewing curved areas such as the jaw line, mouth, and eye area in detail.
After checking skin thickness, fat amount, and cheek volume loss, we provide consultation based on deep sagging and lower facial elasticity.
HIFU/ultrasound
Ultherapy Prime
Checks skin depth and anatomical layers via real-time imaging while delivering microfocused ultrasound energy to the deep support layer (SMAS) to precisely address cheek sagging and jawline contour.
HIFU + RF
VRO Advance
Ultrasound and radiofrequency are used together to examine curved areas such as the jawline, mouth, and eyes in more detail.
We look together when we have concerns like this.
People with blurred jaw line
Those with noticeable sagging cheeks
Those who feel like their face is down
People whose lower face looks heavy
Those who are dissatisfied with the details around the eyes and mouth after lifting large areas
Please refer to this before consultationIf cheek volume loss is large, strong lifting can make your face look drier and sharper. If you have both volume loss and sagging, it is a good idea to also discuss collagen booster or volume supplementation procedures.
Thermage / Oligio / Exilis / Ollaom
When your skin feels loose and fine wrinkles increase
If your skin feels loose overall and fine wrinkles increase rather than your face sagging significantly, you may want to look into radiofrequency tightening first.
Thermage, Oligio, Exilis, and Ollaom are radiofrequency tightening devices discussed to improve skin elasticity, fine lines, and dermal density.
Each device has different depth and application area of radiofrequency energy, so a combination of treatments can be provided when fine wrinkles on the skin's surface and deeper loss of elasticity are seen together. It is also called radiofrequency layering (RF layering).
Monopolar RF
Thermage
Considered when uniformly delivering monopolar radiofrequency thermal energy deep into the dermis to comprehensively address collagen density, skin elasticity, and fine lines.
RF
oligio
Consider this when you want to consistently manage fine wrinkles and mild loss of elasticity in a way that reduces the burden.
Deep RF
Exilis
We provide consultation when using deeper thermal energy to examine facial lines and loss of elasticity.
RF
Olaom
We consult on the direction of radiofrequency tightening by looking at skin elasticity and facial line flow.
RF Layering
Oligio
This is a combination of using radiofrequencies of different depths to see both surface fine wrinkles and deep elasticity.
We look together when we have concerns like this.
Those with increased fine wrinkles
Those whose skin is loose and has reduced elasticity
Those who feel burdened by strong pain
Those who want consistent elasticity management
Those who want to improve skin texture and elasticity
Please refer to this before consultationYou may experience warmth, redness, swelling, or temporary sensitivity after a radiofrequency device. Those with thin or sensitive skin should be more careful about the intensity and spacing.
Olaum / Exilis / Olaom
Double chin and dull jawline are caused by both fat and elasticity.
A double chin or dull facial lines may not simply be a problem of sagging skin. Fat sensation, skin elasticity, and jawline structure all affect it.
So, we check through consultation whether to look at only the pulling equipment, look at the fat layer together, or look at tightening as well.
Vacuum + RF
Olaum
When looking at double chins and lower facial lines, we look at both fat and skin elasticity.
RF
Exilis
When facial lines and loss of elasticity are seen together, radiofrequency tightening can be consulted.
RF
Olaom
We discuss the direction of lower facial tightening by looking at skin elasticity and facial line flow.
Please refer to this before consultationA double chin is not determined solely by the amount of fat. The equipment and frequency required may vary depending on sagging skin, jaw structure, and changes in weight.
Thermage / Oligio / AirJet 2
When you are concerned about dullness, pores, and skin texture
Even if your facial lines are neat, you may look tired if your complexion is dull or your skin texture is rough.
In this case, it may be helpful to look at pores, skin texture, shallow scars, and shallow elasticity rather than simply pulling and lifting.
RF Tightening
Thermage & RF Tightening
Discussed when delivering radiofrequency energy across the dermis to address enlarged-looking pores from elasticity loss alongside fine lines and skin texture.
Air Pressure
air jet 2
Pneumatic delivery and subcision-related approaches may be considered when assessing shallow scars together with skin-texture concerns.
Texture
Pores + Texture + Shallow Elasticity
When pores and skin texture appear rough, radiofrequency tightening, AirJet 2, skin boosters, and collagen boosters are discussed according to skin condition.
We look together when we have concerns like this.
Those who have a dull complexion
Those with flaky makeup and rough skin texture
Those who are concerned about pores and elasticity
Those who want to improve overall skin condition rather than strong lifting
Those who prefer care with less recovery burden
Please refer to this before consultationEnergy intensity and repetition interval may vary depending on pigmentation, redness, sensitive skin, or acne.
VRO Advance / G-Wave / Semil RF series
There are times when small areas such as around the eyes and mouth need to be examined separately.
The face is not flat and has many curved areas such as around the eyes, mouth, and sides of the nose. Lifting only large areas may leave such detailed areas unsatisfactory.
Equipment such as the V-Ro Advance Pen Type or G-Wave can be consulted to complement the details remaining after extensive lifting.
Detail HIFU + RF
VRO Advanced Pen Type
Decreased elasticity and fine wrinkles in curved areas such as around the eyes, mouth, and sides of the nose are taken into consideration when examining them in detail.
Glove RF
G wave
A special glove delivers radiofrequency energy to gently examine narrow areas.
Sensitive Area
Detailed RF/Low Intensity Approach
Since the skin around the eyes and mouth is thin and sensitive, the intensity and spacing should be determined more carefully.
We look together when we have concerns like this.
Those who are concerned about fine wrinkles around the eyes
Those who are concerned about marionette lines around the mouth
Those who are disappointed in the details of the area after extensive lifting
People who want to take meticulous care of even the curved areas
Please refer to this before consultationThe skin around the eyes and mouth is thin and sensitive, so redness and discomfort may be more noticeable.
Seoul N Dermatology Lifting Equipment at a Glance
The reason there are multiple pieces of equipment is because everyone has different facial concerns.
It is difficult for one device to solve all your problems. Some devices look at deep sagging, some look at elasticity within the skin, and some look at double chins or skin texture in more detail.

When sagging and volume loss occur together
Pulling and filling have different roles
Lifting devices aim to tighten and lift the skin. Their role in replacing lost volume may be limited.
Conversely, collagen boosters or skin boosters can help improve moisture, skin texture, volume, and tissue reinforcement, but they do not solve all deep sagging problems.
If sagging and volume loss occur together, the roles of equipment and injection procedures can be divided into separate plans. However, not everyone needs combination treatments, and the order and interval vary depending on skin condition and recovery schedule.
Working together does not mean doing a lot, but rather dividing the roles into necessary roles.
Sagging jawline + cheek volume loss
Deep sagging can be treated with lifting equipment, and collagen boosters or volume supplementation procedures can be discussed for sagging areas.
Fine wrinkles + inner dryness
You can check elasticity with radiofrequency equipment and consider moisture and skin texture treatments such as Hilowave, Rejuran HB, and hydrolifting.
Pores + skin texture + loss of elasticity
Radiofrequency devices such as Thermage and Oligio can be combined with AirJet 2 and Juvelook Skin regeneration boosters according to your skin condition.
Thin skin + decreased elasticity
We first look at skin thickness and recovery, and then provide step-by-step consultation on collagen reinforcement and low-intensity equipment.
Double chin + loss of elasticity
If there is both a feeling of fat and loss of elasticity, equipment to view the fat layer and radiofrequency tightening can be discussed.
Rather than choosing the name of the equipment first, think about the facial change you are most concerned about. The information below is a guide to help you understand, and the actual procedure will be decided after a medical consultation.

This guide is for ease of understanding, and the actual procedure will be decided after a medical consultation.
Principles
Seoul N Dermatology Lifting Consultation Principles
Designed in an Upright Seated Posture
Because lying down shifts gravitational pull and alters how sagging and cheek hollows appear, facial asymmetry and no-heat protection zones are mapped while seated upright before treatment.
Real-Time Ultrasound Layer Verification
Using Ultherapy Prime real-time ultrasound imaging, we verify individual skin thickness, SMAS fascia depth, and fat compartments to plan energy distribution that reduces cheek-hollowing risk.
Authentic Devices & Genuine Tips Only
To ensure consistent thermal delivery and help prevent burns or blistering, we strictly use authentic devices and genuine tips, guiding patients through pre-procedure verification.
Distinguish between volume loss and sagging
If facial hollowing is prominent, aggressive lifting alone may create a gaunt look, so we also assess whether collagen booster volume support should be paired.
Explains the reasons for the equipment combination
Combining devices is not about doing more treatments—it is about addressing deep fascia, dermal elasticity, and curved contours separately according to each layer.
Review Prior Procedures & Recovery Timeline
Prior dermal fillers, thread lifts, dental or surgical history, skin sensitivity, and upcoming schedules are reviewed beforehand to tailor intensity and intervals.
Clinical FAQ
Frequently Asked Lifting Consultation Questions
Why are upright seated mapping and real-time ultrasound imaging important for Ulthera (Ultherapy Prime) and Thermage FLX?
When lying flat, gravity shifts so jowl laxity, jawline asymmetry, and lateral cheek hollows appear different than in daily life. Mapping sagging vectors and hollow protection zones while seated upright—and verifying individual SMAS depth and fat thickness via real-time ultrasound imaging—helps reduce cheek-hollowing risk and enables precise, layer-specific lifting.
How do ultrasound lifting (HIFU) and radiofrequency tightening (RF) differ?
Focused ultrasound (HIFU, such as Ultherapy Prime and V-RO Advance) creates thermal coagulation points in deep support structures (SMAS and fibrous septa) to address downward sagging and contour laxity, whereas radiofrequency (RF, such as Thermage FLX, Oligio, Exilis, and Olaom) delivers thermal energy into dermal and subdermal elastic layers to improve skin looseness, fine lines, and reduced dermal density.
How can patients verify genuine tips and authentic devices before Ulthera or Thermage treatment?
Using genuine tips on ultrasound and radiofrequency lifting devices is fundamental for uniform thermal energy delivery and preventing burns or blisters. Seoul N Dermatologic Clinic uses only authentic devices and genuine tips, guiding patients through tip verification before treatment.
Can someone with hollow cheeks but a sagging jawline still receive ultrasound lifting?
Delivering excessive deep energy into already hollow lateral cheeks can make the face look overly gaunt. We avoid or protect hollow zones with conservative settings while targeting lower-face laxity with lifting devices and planning separate collagen booster support (such as Juvelook Volume, EverWrinkle V, or CG Reallo) where volume is depleted.
When is each combined lifting program—Ulthermage, Oligio Prime, and The-Ollryeo 4L—considered during consultation?
Ulthermage (Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX) is discussed when addressing deep SMAS sagging and pan-dermal laxity together; Oligio Prime (Ultherapy Prime + Oligio) when seeking ultrasound–RF synergy with lower discomfort and cost burden; and The-Ollryeo 4L when sequentially managing four anatomical planes—epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, and SMAS—based on individual skin assessment.
Consultation
The lifting you need for your face isn't determined by the name of the equipment alone.
Seoul N Dermatology Clinic checks skin thickness, depth of sagging, fat amount, volume loss, complexion, and recovery time. The important thing is not to perform a lot of procedures, but to plan the necessary equipment in an order appropriate for the area needed.
※ This page is a general guide to easily understand lifting equipment and procedures, and whether and how to actually perform the procedure will be determined after a medical consultation.
※ The treatment effect and maintenance period may vary depending on the individual's skin condition, degree of aging, amount of fat, lifestyle habits, and number of treatments.
※ After the procedure, there is a possibility of side effects such as redness, heat, swelling, pain, bruising, temporary changes in sensation, and pigmentation, so it is carried out after consultation with a medical staff.
※ If you have any previous filler, thread lifting, surgery history, dermatitis, pregnancy or lactation status, specific disease or medication history, please be sure to inform us at the time of treatment.
Lifting Device Combinations
Complex procedure design between lifting equipment Ultrasonic X high frequency X multi-layer equipment synergy
No single device can satisfy all layers of the facial anatomy. It organically combines the deep vertical support traction of ultrasound (HIFU), the three-dimensional volumetric tightening of the dermis by radiofrequency (RF), and the detailed care of special equipment.
Gold Standard Lifting Compound
Ulthermage & Oligio Prime series
Three-dimensional integration of SMAS vertical traction (HIFU) and volumetric dermal tightening (RF)
Recommended for: Complex aging with a collapsed jawline, sagging cheeks, dull facial lines, and fine wrinkles and pores on the skin surface.
Unipolar high-frequency volumetric tightening of the entire dermis (0~3mm)
oligio
Pores, fine wrinkles and superficial dermis elasticity layering
VRO Advance
Ultrasound + high frequency pen type precise care for curved contours
Seoul N Dermatology Specialized Combination Protocol
Ulthera + Thermage FLX
Deep sagging of the fascia is tightened with Ultherapy Prime, and looseness and fine wrinkles on the outer skin are tightened with Thermage FLX, remodeling both the inside and the outside at the same time.
Oligio Prime (Oligio + Ulthera)
It is an ideal facial contouring solution that reduces pain burden by combining Ultherapy Prime's strong jawline support and Oligio's soft and dense high-frequency tightening.
Ulthera Prime V (Ulthera + V-RO Advance)
The wide jawline and cheek line are centered with Ultherapy Prime, and curved areas such as around the eyes, mouth, and marionette are lifted thoroughly with the VRO Advanced Pen Type.
Anatomical Synergy Mechanism
Microfocused ultrasound (MFU-V) creates thermal coagulation points at the 4.5 mm SMAS layer without disrupting the epidermis to lift gravity-sagged tissue vertically, whereas radiofrequency (RF) delivers volumetric 3D thermal energy throughout the dermis to contract collagen fibers and support gradual density remodeling. Because their target depths and energy mechanisms complement each other, patients can expect multi-layer tightening and contour synergy beyond single-modality care.
Recommended for: Severe sagging skin, dull facial contours, and weakened hairline support that cannot be resolved with just one device.
Input equipment lineup & key roles
Trinity & Oligio
Improvement of shallow elasticity and texture in the upper to middle dermis
Exilis Ultra (unipolar radiofrequency)
Subcutaneous fat layer heat transfer and deep contour tightening
VRO Advance
SMAS fascia and facial retaining ligament contraction traction
Air Jet 2 / Thread lifting / Botox
Scalp adhesion peeling, physical thread anchoring & jaw line trimming
Seoul N Dermatology Specialized Combination Protocol
The Up 4L (1st to 3rd week multi-level crossover program)
After remodeling the elasticity and skin texture of the entire dermal layer with Oligio and Trinity in the first week, the quadruple lifting is completed by cross-targeting the fascia and deep fat layer with VRO Advance and Exilis Ultra in the third week.
The Up S (Oligio + Vro Advance + Exilis)
By combining the three premium equipment of unipolar high-frequency Oligio, complex focused ultrasound VRO Advance, and deep unipolar high-frequency Exilis Ultra, we achieve thorough triple tightening from the superficial skin layer to the subcutaneous fat and fascia layers.
The Up ST (The Up S + Thread Lifting + Chin Line Skin Botox)
The combination of the three major equipment of The Ollie S (Oligio, Vro Advance, and Exilis) with thread lifting, which provides physical support, and chin line skin botox, which smoothes the contour of the lower face, creates an immediate and powerful lifting vector.
The Ollie Jet (Air Jet 2 anchoring combination)
The fibrous adhesion bands on the hairline and scalp are peeled off with Air Jet 2 air pressure to establish a physical support vector from the top, and then combined with face lifting to maximize the pulling strength.
Anatomical Synergy Mechanism
Sagging of the face does not occur only in a single layer. By sequentially heating the four layers from the skin surface to the SMAS fascia with equipment of different wavelengths and erecting a support, it overcomes the awkwardness or limitations that arise when pulling only one layer and forms a natural yet powerful lifting vector.
Olaum X Exilis Ultra X ExoWave Lower Face Contouring
Negative pressure high frequency + unipolar deep RF + 2.45GHz microwave triple contour fat removal
Recommended for: Those with a thick double chin, those with a dull jawline and neck border, and those with deep cheek fat and decreased elasticity
Input equipment lineup & key roles
Olaum (Vacuum RF)
Pulls the double chin fat with negative pressure and targets the fat layer intensively with bipolar RF.
Exilis Ultra (Monopolar RF)
Heat transfer to subcutaneous fat layer and tightening of deep contour with unipolar deep high frequency.
Exowave (2.45GHz Microwave)
Selective coagulation and tightening of deep fat layer with 2.45GHz microwave without damaging the skin surface.
Seoul N Dermatology Specialized Combination Protocol
Double chin & lower face triple contour reset
Olaum's negative pressure high frequency targets the captured fat, Exowave (2.45 GHz microwave) selectively breaks down deep fat, and Exilis unipolar high frequency tightens the line under the chin to sharpen the dull jaw line angle.
Anatomical Synergy Mechanism
Submental fat, which cannot be reduced by simply pulling, is selectively broken down using the triple energy of negative pressure radiofrequency, 2.45GHz microwave, and unipolar deep radiofrequency, and the loose submental support ligament is tightened to clearly separate the boundary between the jawline and neck.
Detailed periorbital, perioral, and marionette-line care using pen-type HIFU+RF and glove-type RF
Recommended for: If you are unhappy with fine wrinkles around the eyes, puffiness around the mouth, or wrinkles above the nasolabial fold even after a full face lifting.
Input equipment lineup & key roles
VRO Advanced SD (Pen Type)
Adheres to curved surfaces in curved areas with a circular pen-type cartridge
Gwave (Glove-type RF)
High-frequency deep heat is delivered to the fingertips in detail around the eyes, philtrum, and lips through a special conductive glove.
Seoul N Dermatology Specialized Combination Protocol
Wrinkle lifting around eyes and mouth
The tip delicately delivers heat energy to narrow and curved areas that are difficult to reach, smoothing out fine wrinkles and shallow sagging of thin skin.
Anatomical Synergy Mechanism
Applies pen-type ultrasound and conductive glove-type RF across curved orbital rims and nasolabial contours where flat large cartridges cannot maintain full contact, managing fine lines and subtle laxity while minimizing surrounding tissue strain.
Why is ‘cross-design of interaction layers between equipment’ more important than listing the number of shots?
Delivering a uniformly high shot count without customization can cause unnecessary thermal burden or hollowing of the lateral cheeks. Seoul N Dermatologic Clinic measures SMAS depth and fat thickness via real-time ultrasound visualization (DeepSEE), scientifically dividing the depths for ultrasound traction and the zones for radiofrequency tightening.
