Hongdae Dermatology Portra Lifting Review: Titanium Lifting Upgrade, 4-Wavelength Retention

As I started preparing for the wedding, I couldn't help but become sensitive about my facial condition.

As my photo shoot schedule became more frequent, I was constantly concerned about my jawline, sagging cheeks, and overall facial definition, and I needed a "lifting treatment that shows immediate results after just one session."

 

Since I had already experienced titanium lifting three months ago, I was not worried about the effectiveness itself, but I was left with some regrets, wishing that the lasting effect was a little better and that it could have tightened the entire face more precisely.

 

In the meantime, I found out about '4-wavelength Portra Lifting,' an upgraded version of titanium lifting.

 

When choosing a lifting procedure, there were exactly three criteria that I considered most important.

1. Immediate effect → Need a procedure with no downtime before a trip

2. Naturalness that isn't excessive → A change where lines become sharper rather than the face looking tight.

3. Maintainability → Not just a fleeting effect for a week or two, but changes that can be felt for at least several months

I was told that Portra Lifting has an advantage in refining facial lines rather than simple "tightening" because it uses four wavelengths simultaneously—more than conventional titanium lifting—and has a structure that delivers energy according to skin depth to tighten elasticity and contour.

 

The Hongdae dermatology clinic I visited was located in the Kakao Friends building, a one-minute walk from Exit 8 of Hongik University Station, so it was not difficult to find.

 

It was located close to both the subway and bus, so it was a convenient location even if I had to travel immediately after the procedure.

 

What impressed me during the consultation was that instead of strictly following a fixed number of shots, the energy distribution was adjusted based on the areas of my face that I was concerned about, such as my jawline, sagging under my cheekbones, and the corners of my mouth.

 

I was convinced because they explained why more needed to be injected into this area, rather than simply saying, “If you do a lift, we’ll shoot it all here.”

 

To be honest, it’s not completely painless.

However, having already undergone titanium lifting, I felt that "this is bearable enough."

• The jawline close to the bone and the corners of the mouth sting slightly.

• The center of the cheek only feels warm.

• The procedure takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Above all, the intensity was checked periodically, so discomfort did not accumulate significantly.

 

✔ Immediately after the procedure

• The face looks well-organized overall

• The blurry jawline was immediately clarified.

• Almost no swelling, makeup possible

✔ 2~3 days later

• Face lines look sharper when taking photos

• I can feel that the sagging around the corners of my mouth looks less pronounced.

✔ 1~2 weeks later

• The skin feels firm

• Started hearing that my face looks small

Compared to conventional titanium lifting, the pulling intensity was similar, but the impression was that Portra provided better retention of density.

 

Personal tip

• During the consultation, clearly state what you want to improve the most.

• If there is an event, the procedure settles most beautifully at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance.

• For lifting, design tailored to the facial structure is more important than 'intensity'.

If you are considering a lifting procedure, I recommend making your decision based on whether the method suits your face, rather than simply choosing the "latest option."

Portra Lifting was a quite satisfactory choice by those standards.
