Quick answer

What is a non-surgical facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is a combination plan that addresses the main signs of facial ageing — sagging, volume loss and skin laxity — using treatments that need no incisions. Typically HIFU lifts the deep SMAS layer, radiofrequency tightens the skin, and threads, fillers or collagen stimulators restore support and volume where needed.

Because every face ages differently, the doctor in Seoul designs the mix and order for you. Many visitors start with HIFU skin tightening and add other steps as needed.

Your visit

How Non-surgical facelift works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Consult & face mapping
The doctor analyses sagging, volume and skin quality and agrees on a plan and budget.
Energy-based lifting
HIFU and/or RF are usually done first to lift and tighten.
Support & volume
Threads, fillers or collagen stimulators are added where support or volume is lost.
Aftercare
Avoid heavy pressure on the face, saunas and intense exercise for a few days; follow-up as advised.

Before & after

How a non-surgical facelift restores lift

Each step works on a different layer — deep support, skin and volume — so the combined result looks natural rather than pulled.

Day 1

Immediate subtle lift from threads or fillers.

Weeks 4–8

Collagen from energy treatments builds firmness.

Months 2–3

FAQ

Non-surgical facelift questions

How long does a non-surgical facelift last?

It depends on the treatments used. HIFU and RF often last 6–12 months, threads around 12–18 months, and fillers or stimulators 12–24 months.

Can everything be done in one day?

Often yes. Many combinations can be done in one visit, though some steps are better spaced out. The doctor will plan around your travel dates.

Is it painful?

Numbing cream and local anaesthetic keep most steps comfortable. HIFU over bony areas and thread insertion can feel more intense for brief moments.

How is it different from a surgical facelift?

Surgery removes excess skin and repositions tissue for a larger, longer-lasting change. Non-surgical options give a more modest lift with little or no downtime.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
