Cheongdam is one of Seoul’s best-known districts for premium aesthetic care. Gwang (GLOW) Dermatology, located here, builds its lifting programmes on skin diagnosis rather than a fixed menu.
Diagnosis before lifting
Every plan begins by assessing the skin’s elasticity, identifying which layer the laxity comes from, and checking for accompanying concerns such as pigmentation or redness. Lifting devices address firmness; overall skin quality often needs coordinated care alongside them for a balanced result.
Thermage or Ultherapy — how to choose
Thermage applies radiofrequency to the dermis, improving surface firmness and fine lines. Ultherapy focuses ultrasound energy deeper, at the SMAS layer, targeting the sensation of descent along the contour. They are not substitutes: depending on where laxity sits, one may be used alone or the two combined at different times.
Treatment experience and aftercare
Sessions follow topical numbing; warmth or brief stinging during treatment is normal. Daily routines resume immediately, with moisturising and sun protection advised. Effects appear progressively over weeks to months and duration varies by individual — plans are confirmed at consultation.
