Hongdae Dermatology Clinic Portra Lifting Procedure Record
These days, whenever I look in the mirror, I feel like my skin has lost some elasticity and I look tired, so I went to a dermatologist near Hongik University Station.
I received Portra Lifting, also known as the second generation of titanium lifting, and I would like to write about the process and my feelings about it.
Visit and consultation process
It was located about a 3-minute walk from Hongik University Station Exit 8, and the interior was decorated in white tones.
I made a reservation and went, so the wait wasn't long. I told them I was in my mid-30s and was concerned about sagging cheekbones, a sagging jawline, and a noticeable asymmetry in my jawline. They performed a 3D skin diagnosis first.
During the consultation, they analyzed my skin condition and elasticity and gave me a 1:1 customized diagnosis. I was surprised to see that the things I had been worried about, such as the sunken areas and lines under my eyes, were also reflected in the detailed diagnosis results.
The director was very meticulous in his analysis, to the point where it would take quite a while for him to analyze it in detail.
Procedure details
What I received was the Portra Lifting 80kJ, and I decided to focus on reducing the wrinkles on my nasolabial folds and lifting my double chin, which are my areas of concern.
-
characteristic: It is said to be faster and more energy-controlled than titanium.
-
Pain related: Has a cooling function that can be adjusted from 0 to -5 degrees.
-
preparation: After taking the photo without anesthesia, you will be taken directly to the treatment room.
The procedure was over faster than I thought, and I felt more refreshed than hot or painful, perhaps because of the cooling sensation.
Immediately after the procedure, I received a 10-minute skin soothing treatment and finished the treatment.
Change Record
When I looked in the mirror right after the procedure, I felt like my double chin and jawline had been smoothed out, and my skin tone looked brighter than before.
There was a little redness on the day, but it quickly subsided after a day or so.
-
Day 2: The facial lines are maintained in a neat state
-
-
Pain and downtime: I felt almost no pain and it did not interfere with my daily life.
There are so many different types of lifting procedures, and the effects you experience may vary depending on the thickness of your skin and the degree of sagging.
This procedure worked well for me.

- 01CommentsThe treatment approach for nasolabial folds may vary depending on the degree of hollowness and the extent of cheek sagging. If the grooves themselves are deeply indented, filling them with fillers is effective for immediate improvement. On the other hand, if the wrinkles are caused by sagging cheek skin, lifting them with Ultherapy or thread lifting provides a more natural look. I recommend consulting with a clinic to accurately determine the cause and making a comprehensive decision.231026.10.29
- 02CommentsOndari Lifting features a powerful cooling system integrated into the handpiece itself, so there is virtually no pain or heat during the procedure. Since the sensation is more of a warm heat rather than a tingling sensation, many people receive the treatment comfortably without anesthetic cream. It is also a highly satisfying procedure for defining the double chin and deep cheek lines.160026.10.29
- 03CommentsRather than mixing up various procedures from the start, I think it would be better to start with just the one area you are most concerned about. I would probably start by consulting about the part that bothers me the most when I look in the mirror.200026.10.29
- 01CommentsI also looked for lifting creams before getting a consultation. I could definitely feel the hydration when I applied them, but I didn't really notice any significant improvement in my pores. However, since consistently moisturizing and taking good care of your skin's condition through sun protection helps, I think it would be a good idea to start with home care rather than expecting dramatic results.500026.10.18
- 02CommentsRadiofrequency or ultrasound lifting is a procedure you can comfortably receive at any time, largely regardless of the season. However, during the summer, your skin is easily irritated by sweat and strong UV rays, so you need to pay extra attention to soothing and sun protection. Conversely, in winter, managing dryness is essential, so you must provide thorough moisturizing care. Rather than focusing on the season, I recommend getting the treatment on a weekend or during a break when you have no important schedules.464026.10.23
- 03CommentsI think this is a perfectly understandable concern you might have while on your diet. When you hit a plateau, slightly adjusting your usual diet or adding light strength training to boost your basal metabolic rate are good solutions. I hope you don't give up and continue with your healthy routine!1495026.10.26
- 01CommentsTune Face allows for precise control of energy depth, making it suitable even for those with less cheek volume. Its major advantage is that it delivers high-frequency elasticity to the necessary areas while minimizing concerns about cheek hollowing. Satisfaction is high as you can expect both overall skin texture improvement and tightening effects. I hope this helps with your decision regarding the procedure.1942026.09.30
- 02CommentsI see you were very curious about the downtime for the Onda Lifting procedure due to concerns regarding jawline elasticity. While individual differences exist, the Onda Lifting generally causes minimal bruising or swelling, so only slight redness usually occurs on the day of the procedure. You can apply makeup and resume your daily activities without any issues the following day, so please feel free to schedule a consultation.781026.10.09
- 03CommentsIf it were me, I would start by getting the procedure that is your top priority. If your biggest concern is sagging facial contours, I would recommend Ultherapy; if you are more concerned about dull skin, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, I would suggest consulting about Thermage first. Then, observe the results for about two months and proceed with treatments to address any remaining issues. Rather than getting both procedures at once, I think it is better to try one first, taking your skin condition into account!932126.10.21
