Introduction
────────────────────────────────────
If you are planning care for skin elasticity, facial lines, pigment, pores, or skin aging in Gangnam, Seoul, it is not enough to compare only whether a clinic owns famous devices. That is because even for the same Ulthera or Thermage procedure, the suitable energy and treatment scope may differ depending on facial bone structure, skin thickness, amount of fat, direction of sagging, and past procedure history.
Lifton Dermatology Clinic, located near Sinsa Station, introduces a care philosophy in which a board-certified dermatologist diagnoses the skin condition and aging stage and combines lifting and skin devices that target different skin layers.
In this guide, we will look at Lifton Dermatology's medical staff and key procedures, the skin diagnosis system, consultation hours, and what international patients should prepare before visiting.

What kind of place is Lifton Dermatology?
────────────────────────────────────
Lifton Dermatology is a dermatology clinic near Sinsa Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, handling non-surgical lifting, anti-aging, volume management, skin boosters, and laser skin treatment.
Main care directions emphasized in the official guidance
- Skin diagnosis conducted by a board-certified dermatologist
- Individualized procedure plans considering skin condition and degree of aging
- Combined lifting targeting different skin layers
- Care continuing from consultation to procedure and aftercare
- Pursuit of natural facial lines and skin change
- A private care environment operated by appointment
- Cleansing, procedure, and finishing care conducted in single-person procedure rooms
The name "Lifton" carries the meaning of reactivating the health and elasticity of the skin centered on lifting.
However, a combined procedure is not always more suitable than a single procedure. Depending on the patient's skin condition and facial structure, receiving only one procedure may be appropriate, so rather than finalizing a specific package before consultation, it is better to convey specifically the problem you want to improve.

How is the skin diagnosis conducted?
────────────────────────────────────
Lifton Dermatology introduces a step-by-step skin diagnosis program utilizing a board-certified dermatologist's care and skin-measurement devices.
Publicly listed diagnosis devices
- Skin moisture meter
- Morpheus 3D facial imaging device
- Meta-View
- Mark-View
These devices can be used as supplementary material to observe skin moisture and oil, pigment, pores, skin texture, wrinkles, skin tone, redness, sebum, and facial structure. 3D facial imaging can be used to compare the length and proportions of the face or contour changes, and skin imaging devices can help confirm pigment and redness that are hard to clearly distinguish with the naked eye.
However, imaging results do not replace the medical staff's diagnosis. The final procedure plan must be decided by comprehensively considering the board-certified dermatologist's interview, examination, and past procedure history.
────────────────────────────────────
Lifton Dermatology's main lifting procedures
────────────────────────────────────
[1. Ultherapy Prime]
Ultherapy Prime is a non-surgical lifting device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to deliver energy to a target depth beneath the skin. You can consult it when the jawline has become blurry, when cheek or lower-face sagging is a concern, when you want lifting that considers the support layer beneath the skin, or when you want facial-line management in a non-surgical way. A feature is that you can confirm the structure beneath the skin and the target depth while viewing the ultrasound image. However, patients with little facial fat or cheek hollowing must carefully plan the treatment scope and energy. A higher number of shots is not good for every patient, so it is important to first confirm the skin thickness and fat amount by facial area.
[2. Thermage FLX]
Thermage FLX is a skin-tightening procedure that uses monopolar radiofrequency energy. It delivers thermal stimulation to the skin's dermis and subcutaneous tissue and is used for the purpose of improving skin elasticity and texture. You can consult it when the skin has become thin or elasticity has decreased, when you want to manage fine lines and texture together, when considering tightening of the whole face, or when looking for a procedure with relatively quick return to daily life. Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX differ in energy type and target skin layer. Whether to use the two devices together should be decided after confirming skin condition and facial structure.
[3. Titanium Lifting]
Titanium Lifting is introduced as a non-surgical procedure that simultaneously utilizes laser energy of multiple wavelengths. Patients who want to manage facial lines, skin elasticity, and skin tone together, or who want a procedure with relatively little recovery burden ahead of an important schedule, can consult it. After the procedure, temporary redness or heat sensation may appear. For a travel schedule with much UV exposure, sun protection and moisturizing care after the procedure are important.
[4. Onda Lifting]
Onda is a device using microwave energy. It can be used for contour management that considers fat and skin tightening of facial or body areas. It can be consulted for a double chin or lower-face fat, cases where fat and skin elasticity must be considered together, contour management of body parts, and cases where the facial line looks heavy. Applying an aggressive fat-reduction procedure to a patient with little facial fat may make cheek hollowing prominent. You must first distinguish whether fat reduction or skin lifting is needed.
[5. Sofwave]
Sofwave is a non-surgical device that delivers ultrasound energy to a specific depth of the skin to manage skin elasticity and fine lines. Both it and Ulthera use ultrasound energy, but there are differences in target depth and application method. Which device is more suitable depends on skin thickness, degree of sagging, and treatment area.
[6. Profound]
Profound is a procedure that uses microneedles and radiofrequency energy to manage skin elasticity, texture, and facial lines. Because it is a procedure using needles, redness, swelling, bruising, or tiny scabs may occur. It is better to consult it with a schedule that can secure a recovery period rather than right before an important event or departure.
[7. Tune Light]
Tune Light is introduced as a procedure that uses near-infrared energy to manage skin elasticity and skin tone. It can be combined with other lifting devices, but the need for a combined procedure and the interval between procedures vary by individual.
[8. Thread lifting]
Thread lifting is a procedure that inserts medical threads beneath the skin to support sagging tissue and adjust facial lines. Compared to energy-based lifting, swelling, bruising, tightness, and skin irregularities are more likely to appear, so the travel schedule and aftercare plan are important.
For a certain period after the procedure, you may be advised to avoid the following:
- Facial massage
- Sauna and jjimjilbang
- Vigorous exercise
- Alcohol and smoking
- Opening the mouth wide
- Skin care applying strong pressure
- Long dental treatment
The care period after the procedure may vary depending on the type and number of threads used and the treatment scope, so you must follow the medical staff's individual guidance.
────────────────────────────────────
Volume and injection procedures
────────────────────────────────────
[Radiesse]
Radiesse is an injection procedure used to supplement facial volume and contour and induce changes in skin tissue. Since its ingredients and mechanism differ from general hyaluronic acid filler, before the procedure you should confirm the product and dosage used, the treatment area, the expected change, whether removal or correction is possible, how side effects are handled if they occur, and your past filler procedure history.
[Juvelook Volume and Sculptra]
Juvelook Volume and Sculptra are injection procedures used for the purpose of inducing collagen production. Unlike filler that creates a lot of volume immediately, they can be planned in a way that observes tissue change over a certain period. Since the recommended procedure method and care method differ by product, you should be consulted on the exact differences.
[Hyaluronic acid filler]
Filler can be used to adjust the volume and proportion of the face, such as the forehead, temples, front cheeks, nasolabial area, lips, or chin. Filler may look like a simple injection, but rarely, side effects requiring immediate treatment, such as vascular occlusion and skin damage, can occur. You should decide after confirming whether it is genuine, the product used, the injection amount, and the emergency-response system. At Lifton Dermatology, filler removal and side-effect treatment are also guided as care areas. If you have discomfort from filler received at another clinic, it is best to prepare records noting the product name, procedure date, and area.
────────────────────────────────────
Skin boosters and skin-improvement procedures
────────────────────────────────────
[Rejuran Healer · HB · Eye]
Rejuran-line procedures can be consulted for the purpose of managing skin texture, dryness, or fine lines depending on skin condition and area. Thin-skin areas like around the eyes and the whole face may differ in product and injection method. After injection, embossing, redness, bruising, or swelling may appear, so you must consider your schedule.
[Juvelook Skin · Juvelook Eye]
Juvelook-line skin boosters can be used for skin texture, pores, elasticity, or eye-area concerns. You should be sufficiently explained the possible side effects such as nodules or inflammation and the recommended procedure interval before deciding.
[Pigment · whitening care]
Melasma, freckles, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation differ in treatment method even if they look similar. Lifton Dermatology guides laser devices that can be used for pigment · skin treatment, such as StarWalker and Lumenis M22. International patients must inform the medical staff of their skin color, degree of UV exposure, and past post-laser hyperpigmentation experience. This is because laser intensity and treatment interval may vary by skin type.
[Pore and scar care]
Pores and acne scars must be distinguished not only by the skin surface but also by the depth and shape of the scar. Fractional-type devices such as ResurFX may be used, but not all scars are treated with the same laser. After the procedure, redness, dryness, tiny scabs, or temporary hyperpigmentation may appear, so sun protection and moisturizing are important.
[Acne treatment]
Currently active inflammatory acne, acne marks, hyperpigmentation, and depressed scars differ in treatment stage. If an international patient has a short stay in Korea, it is best to consult about how much can be managed with one procedure and what treatment should be continued after returning home.

Q9. Can I receive consultation and procedure on the same day?
A. It may be possible depending on the procedure type and medical staff schedule. If you want a same-day procedure, you should request it in advance during the Prettykeep booking step.
Q10. Can I receive only a skin diagnosis?
A. Whether diagnosis or consultation only is possible may vary by booking policy. Please state in your booking request that you want to receive a consultation first without deciding on a procedure right away.
Q11. Can I designate a specific director?
