Treatment room with radiofrequency device for RF lifting facials at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **4–6 sessions** Firmness builds with each visit

Quick answer

What is an RF lifting facial?

An RF lifting facial is a non-invasive radiofrequency facial. A handpiece glides over the skin delivering comfortable heat to the dermis, which tightens collagen fibres and encourages gradual collagen renewal, while the facial steps cleanse and hydrate the surface.

It is lighter than single-session devices such as Thermage FLX, so it is usually done as a course and is ideal for early laxity or maintenance between stronger lifts. Visitors to Seoul like it because there is no downtime.

FAQ

RF Lifting Facial questions

Is an RF lifting facial painful?

No, most people find it relaxing. The skin feels warm, and the energy is kept at a comfortable level.

How is it different from Thermage?

Thermage FLX delivers stronger, deeper monopolar RF in a single session. An RF lifting facial uses milder energy repeated over a course, with less intensity and no numbing.

How many sessions do I need?

Usually 4–6 sessions about 1–2 weeks apart, then monthly maintenance.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes. It pairs well with skin boosters or HIFU, and with hydrating facials.

Do foreigners pay more?

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