Facial sagging rarely has a single cause. Elasticity declines in the skin itself, the deeper SMAS layer loosens, and fat pads shift downward — each contributing differently to a blurred contour. Ever Dermatology in Apgujeong, Seoul, designs lifting plans around which layer is actually responsible.
The main tools
Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound to the deep SMAS layer, addressing contour descent. Thermage uses radiofrequency to heat the dermis, firming the skin surface and softening fine lines. Thread lifting physically repositions descended tissue with dissolvable threads. Because they act on different layers, these treatments are frequently combined.
Why the design matters more than the device
The same machine can produce very different outcomes depending on how energy, depth and treatment lines are planned. Ever Dermatology begins with a diagnosis of where laxity originates, then decides which combination — and what intensity — fits. The right question is not “which device” but “why this combination.”
What to expect afterwards
Lifting treatments generally require no downtime. Mild redness or a dull ache can appear briefly and settles within days. Firming effects build over weeks to months as collagen remodels, with duration varying by individual. Specific plans are confirmed at consultation.
