MAIN TREATMENTS AT PIXELAB PLASTIC SURGERY
────────────────────────────────────
[TITANIUM LIFTING]
Titanium lifting is a non-surgical treatment that can be discussed for improving skin firmness and the facial line using laser energy of multiple wavelengths. The treatment area and energy settings can differ with skin condition and face shape. Before treatment, it is good to confirm the treatment area, the mode used, the expected energy level, the number of sessions, the possibility of pain and heat sensation, whether combination with other lifting devices is needed, and aftercare instructions. Titanium lifting is not suitable for every kind of sagging, so decide after checking skin thickness, fat amount and degree of sagging.
[OPUS LIFTING]
Opus is an energy-based treatment that can be discussed for skin firmness and regeneration. The clinic introduces it, along with Titanium, as one of its main lifting programmes. Because the exact method, treatment area and recovery period can differ according to the individual plan, it should not be understood as the same as another device just from the name "lifting".
[ULTHERA LIFTING]
Ulthera is a non-surgical lifting device using focused ultrasound energy. It can be discussed if you are concerned about reduced skin firmness, changes to your facial line or sagging in specific areas. The treatment area and number of shots can differ with facial structure, skin thickness, the amount and distribution of fat, degree of sagging, previous lifting treatments, the desired change and pain sensitivity. A higher number of shots is not more suitable for everyone; what matters is which areas and skin layers are treated, so confirm the doctor's design and plan.
[DENSITY]
Density is a non-surgical lifting device using radiofrequency energy. It can be discussed for skin firmness and fine lines, and the treatment area and number of shots can differ with skin condition. Ultrasound lifting and radiofrequency lifting differ in energy type and mode of action, so whether both devices are needed should be discussed with the medical staff.
[LINEARZ]
LinearZ is an ultrasound-energy lifting device introduced as able to use dot-type and linear-type application. The energy-delivery method can be planned differently according to skin condition and goal. Before treatment, it is good to confirm the treatment area, the mode used, the expected number of shots and possible swelling or heat sensation afterwards.
[INMODE]
InMode is a device using radiofrequency energy and electrical stimulation. It can be discussed for facial firmness, the jawline and fat, and the treatment purpose can differ with the handpiece and mode. The efficacy descriptions on the website are general device information, so the same result does not appear for every patient. Bruising, swelling and tenderness can appear, so if you have a photo shoot or departure schedule, please tell us in advance.
[VOLNEWMER]
Volnewmer is a non-surgical lifting device using monopolar radiofrequency energy. Different tips can be used depending on skin condition and treatment area, and areas such as the face, double chin, forehead and neck can be discussed. The exact tip, number of shots and energy settings are decided after the doctor's assessment.
[SHURINK]
Shurink is a non-surgical lifting device using focused ultrasound energy. It is the same ultrasound family as Ulthera, but the device characteristics and treatment plan can differ. Rather than choosing a device by price alone, consider skin thickness, facial fat amount, the desired change and budget together.
[THREAD LIFTING]
Thread lifting is a procedure in which medical threads are inserted under the skin. Unlike energy-based lifting, discomfort from injection sites, swelling, bruising and movement can appear. Before booking, it is good to confirm the type of thread used, the expected number of threads, the insertion area, the anaesthesia method, the recovery period, when washing and make-up are possible, and the recovery time needed before departure.
[SIGNATURE LIP FILLER]
Lip filler is an injectable treatment that can be discussed considering the volume, shape and left-right balance of the lips. Lip shape should be considered together with the proportions of the whole face and the movement of the muscles around the mouth. Tell the medical staff the product type, the amount, the desired shape and any previous filler experience. Swelling and bruising can be relatively noticeable after lip filler, so consider important events and your departure date.
[SIGNATURE AEGYO FILLER]
Aegyo filler is an injectable treatment that adjusts the volume under the eyes. The skin around the eyes is thin, so the product and amount must be decided carefully. If existing under-eye filler or aegyo filler may still be present, you must share your treatment history.
[SKIN BOOSTERS AND COLLAGEN BOOSTERS]
The official treatment information includes various skin boosters such as Juvelook and collagen-related treatments. The ingredients, injection depth, amount and recommended interval differ by product. Before booking, it is good to confirm the exact product name, the product's ingredients, the amount, the injection method, the anaesthesia method, the recommended number of sessions, swelling and injection marks afterwards, and any need for additional treatment after returning home.
[HARUFIT FACE AND BODY]
Pixelab Plastic Surgery runs the Harufit programme for line management of the face and body areas. The website distinguishes Harufit Face and Harufit Body. Because the specific composition can differ with the patient's area and condition, rather than understanding it as a single treatment name, confirm the included treatments, whether injections or devices are used, whether anaesthesia is involved, the target area, the recovery period, whether a compression garment is worn, the scope possible in one session and any need for additional care. The name "Haru" (day) should not be interpreted as meaning that all recovery finishes or the result is complete in a single day.
[WOUND AND SCAR CLINIC]
Dr. Song Jong-geun, as a board-certified plastic surgeon, has public society membership in the Korean Wound Management Society, the Korean Burn Society and the Korean Society for Microsurgery. Pixelab Plastic Surgery runs wounds and scars as a separate area of practice. The treatment method for wounds and scars can differ with the cause of the wound, its depth, when it occurred, whether there is infection, any surgery or trauma history, the colour and thickness of the scar, keloid tendency, and any ointment or silicone product currently used. If a wound is deep, infection is suspected, or bleeding does not stop, do not wait for an online consultation — seek care immediately at the nearest medical facility.
────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE BOOKING
────────────────────────────────────
[CONFIRM WHETHER IT IS A PROCEDURE OR SURGERY]
The main programmes at Pixelab Plastic Surgery include not only non-surgical lifting and injectable procedures but also thread lifting and body programmes. Even with the same programme name, incision, injection, anaesthesia and recovery period can differ, so confirm the exact method before booking.
[TELL US YOUR SCHEDULE IN KOREA]
It is best to share the following schedule during the Prettykeep consultation.
- Arrival date in Korea
- Departure date from Korea
- Important photo shoots or appointments
- Long-distance travel schedule
- Dates you can rest after treatment

[PREVIOUS PROCEDURE AND SURGERY HISTORY]
Please prepare the following as far as possible.
- Previous plastic surgery
- Filler and thread-lifting history
- Lifting devices and treatment dates
- Filler products used
- Scar treatment history
- Adverse reactions after previous procedures
[MEDICATIONS AND HEALTH CONDITIONS]
Current medications, allergies, existing conditions and pregnancy or breastfeeding should be shared during consultation. Taking anticoagulants or certain medications can affect bruising, bleeding or the treatment plan. Do not stop medication on your own; follow the guidance of the medical staff.
[EXPECTED COST]
Costs can vary with the procedure and surgery method, the devices used, the number of shots and energy level, the product and amount, the anaesthesia method, the treatment area, additional care and whether VAT is included. Online event prices or another patient's payment cannot be assumed to be the current cost.
