The short answer

What is a non-surgical facelift, and what can it achieve?

A non-surgical facelift combines treatments that lift, tighten and restore volume without cutting. HIFU lifts the deep SMAS layer, radiofrequency tightens skin, threads give an immediate mechanical lift and fillers or Sculptra replace lost volume.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, results are more modest than surgery but natural, with little downtime. Plans start at ₩390,000 for Shurink Universe and go up to combination plans with Ultherapy Prime or Thermage FLX.

Honest suitability

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Early to moderate jowls and cheek descent
  • Loss of firmness and crepey skin
  • People who cannot take time off for surgery
  • Those who want a natural, gradual change
  • Maintenance after a surgical facelift

Probably not the first choice

  • Heavy skin excess and deep folds, where surgery is more effective
  • Expecting a surgical-level change from one session
  • Mainly expression lines, where Botox is simpler
  • Pregnancy
  • Active skin infection
How it works

Four tools, one plan

Ultrasound: Ultherapy Prime and Shurink lift the SMAS.

Radiofrequency: Thermage FLX and Oligio tighten skin.

Threads and volume: thread lifts reposition tissue; Sculptra and fillers restore support.
