    Silhouette lifting is recommended for those who want to tighten the fascia. It would be good to do it once a year. I recommend it.

    PANGPANG ClinicSilhouette lifting to rejuvenate skin

    I was quite stressed because of my nasolabial folds, so I researched and decided on a sil lifting procedure. I usually have a lot of doubts, so I searched extensively on blogs, cafés, and YouTube to find this place. The videos where the doctor received the lifting themselves and shared their experience were very impressive, so I decided to go through with the procedure and I am truly satisfied! I tend to be quite anxious, so I was shaking, but they made the treatment comfortable and the pain was manageable~ I loved it so much that I want to continue! I am looking forward to the future.

    PANGPANG ClinicSilhouette lifting to rejuvenate skin

    I had 16 threads inserted, and my overall appearance has changed. I thought I couldn't hide my age, but I didn't realize how effective thread lifting could be. I've tried thread lifting before, as well as ultherapy, but this time's thread lifting was the best. My concerns about asymmetry seem to have been addressed, and I'm so happy!

    With my wedding coming up and aging each year, I've noticed sagging skin and deepening nasolabial folds... I was at a loss for what to do, but then I heard the rumors and decided to visit. I got a mint thread lift and a slight filler treatment, and honestly... I can't believe I waited this long to do it! I highly recommend it!! Above all, there was no upselling, and the staff were very friendly.

    I've heard a lot about thread lifting, and I've seen people around me who have done it. It improves sagging and supposedly boosts elasticity as the threads dissolve. The filling threads at Paengpaeng Clinic are a procedure that replenishes collagen, which tends to decrease as we age, and it seems to show results quicker than skin boosters. I also appreciate that the threads are short and without fine loops, making both the procedure and recovery less painful with fewer side effects. I was a bit scared at the thought of having something injected into my skin, but once it started, I hardly felt anything, and there was almost no pain. They say the collagen is replenished as the threads dissolve, so I'm looking forward to my skin getting firmer over time.

    The dermatology hospital specializes in pediatric dermatology, so it's always bustling with kids. They can effectively treat acne-prone skin. They also operate a separate skin care clinic where you can enjoy lifting and whitening treatments at reasonable prices in 10-session packages. Appointments are a must since they're always busy.

    As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more concerned about my skin’s elasticity and texture, as well as sagging in my face. I regularly get facial lifting treatments, and they definitely seem to help with maintaining my skin’s firmness and defining my jawline. The Plastic Surgery clinic I visited this time for a Thread Lift was close to a subway station, so it was easy to get there by public transportation. I especially felt comfortable going there because the board-certified plastic surgeon personally checked my facial condition and handled the Thread Lift consultation and procedure. This time, I had the Thread Lift mainly around my cheeks and jawline. They applied anesthesia before the procedure, and I waited for about 20 minutes before it began. Since it involves inserting threads into the face, I was worried about how painful it would be, but because the procedure was done after anesthesia, it was more manageable than I expected. After the Thread Lift was finished, I tidied up my face in the powder room, listened to the instructions about precautions, and left. There may be some swelling or a tight feeling immediately after the procedure, but I didn’t experience any major inconvenience in my daily life. However, I was told to avoid pressing hard on or massaging my face, and to be careful at first about opening my mouth too wide or doing strenuous exercise.

    I’m getting married soon, so I’ve been paying even more attention to my skin care. I’ve always had a lot of fat around my chin and lower face, so I was regularly getting laser treatments and thread lifts along my lower-face and deep-cheek lines. However, after getting thread lifts too frequently, my jawline actually started to look worse. I was really stressed about it, so I looked into ways to improve it with laser treatments. AllTight lifting had such great reviews and feedback that I visited Daniel Clinic for a consultation. They explained everything based on my face shape and skin type, and I decided to have the treatment right away. They carefully treated my entire cheeks and chin area. It wasn’t painful, but I did feel a lot of heat during the procedure.

    I came in for a consultation through a friend's recommendation and had the procedure done right away. It was my first time with local anesthesia, and I was surprised it didn’t hurt as much as I expected. The wrinkles around my mouth and jawline are instantly lifted. This is my third time getting a thread lift, and I'm the most satisfied I've ever been! I highly recommend this place~~ The doctors are so incredibly kind, it made me really emotional. Thank you so much, I’ll definitely be back~~

    I went for an eyebrow tattoo consultation and found out it was the clinic of the doctor I saw on YouTube. While getting my eyebrow consultation, I ended up also consulting about dermatology. I'm a bit older, so I need to take care of my nasolabial folds and cheek volume. I consulted with the chief manager, and they provided me with a rough estimate. For now, I'm planning to get some of the recommended treatments like Botox (jawline, lip corners, skin Botox) and made a reservation for the next treatment (related to lifting). I'm deciding between thread lifting and laser lifting, but the manager is recommending laser lifting. I'm worried about what the results will be. The manager and other staff are friendly, and the facilities are clean, but there are so many patients waiting. If you're planning to visit the clinic, make sure to allow for some extra time.

    I have a lot of wrinkles, so I went for a consultation after being referred by a friend. I also consulted with the doctor, but I couldn't make a decision. The forehead lift is a major surgery, and the thread lifting has to be done once a year, so I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options while trying to look younger.

    After considering a Thread Lift for a while, I decided to have it done by Dr. Park Jeong-geun at Face Plus Plastic Surgery. From the consultation, he listened carefully to what I wanted and explained everything based on the current condition of my face, which made me feel I could trust him. The procedure itself was more comfortable than I expected, and he explained every question I had in detail, so I was able to go through it feeling reassured. After the procedure, my facial contours feel naturally more defined than before, and I’m especially satisfied that the areas I was concerned about have improved. What I like most is that it looks naturally lifted without feeling overly pulled. Above all, I really appreciated how carefully Dr. Park took care of me. If you’re considering a Thread Lift, I think it would be worth having a consultation. I’m happy with the overall results, so I wanted to leave a review :)

    I paid for my own Ultherapy lifting treatment at Maison de M Clinic near Gangnam Station. I visited because I was concerned about my sagging jawline and loss of elasticity in my cheeks, and the head doctor performed the treatment with precision and care using a two-handed technique. The clinic has a private layout centered around individual rooms, so I was comfortably taken care of from cleansing my face through the procedure. During the consultation, they recommended Ultherapy and ONDA Lifting based on my skin condition without pushing unnecessary treatments, and I appreciated the thoughtfulness of applying a hydrating mask first after taking my skin’s condition into consideration. After the treatment, my nasolabial folds and jawline looked naturally lifted, so I’m very satisfied. I was a little taken aback because the information during my consultation with the clinic manager was slightly different from what I had been told on KakaoTalk, which was disappointing, but overall I was highly satisfied with the treatment and would visit again.

    In my teenage years, I had severe acne scars that left my skin uneven, which really affected my self-esteem. I tried treatments like Fraxel and Juvederm, along with regeneration injections, but they only made a small difference and didn't provide dramatic results. As I got older, my concerns deepened with the appearance of nasolabial folds and overall loss of skin elasticity. I felt that there were limitations to just using lasers, so this time I decided to undergo a combination treatment with new skin needles and Juvederm for the depressions, along with Silhouette lifting for the elasticity and wrinkles. The new skin needle treatment really hurt a lot, but I managed to endure it, haha. The other treatments like Juvederm and Silhouette lifting were more bearable than I expected, so that was fine. During the first week, I had quite a bit of bruising and marks, so if you have important events coming up, I recommend adjusting your schedule accordingly. It has been two weeks since the treatment (or right after the treatment), and I already see some promising changes in skin texture and elasticity. I hope this helps those of you who, like me, have been dealing with long-standing acne scars and concerns about aging. I will keep monitoring my progress and share a detailed review later!

    As I’ve gotten older, my wrinkles have become deeper and more numerous, so I was worried about them. At first, I was considering a Thread Lift or Skin Booster. But when I searched for Skin Care treatments, I found that radiofrequency lifting is really popular these days, so I started looking into it. I ended up visiting Seoul One Dermatology, and since there were so many reviews about Oligio radiofrequency treatments, I consulted with the doctor. They told me it’s popular because it’s a well-known Korean-made radiofrequency lifting device, offers good value for the price, and works well. I applied numbing cream and lay down for the procedure. I was really worried that it would hurt a lot, but cooling gas came out during the treatment and cooled down the heat, so the pain wasn’t too bad. I also liked that there was barely any swelling right after the procedure.

    My friend and I, both in our mid-60s, went to Genesis. After consulting with the doctor, my friend got a Thread Lift, while I decided to get treatment to get rid of my double chin, which I had been worrying about, since there was a special double-chin-reduction event. It’s still too early to feel the effects, but we’re both satisfied and looking forward to the results. My friend said the Thread Lift was less painful than expected, probably thanks to the anesthesia (she said it hurt a bit in the evening, but she was able to fall asleep thanks to the medication). I was getting InMode + Shurink + Premium Facial Contouring Injection. Since I was told InMode can cause bruising—and I have an important appointment in a week—I decided to do it next time and just got Shurink and the Facial Contouring Injection for now. Shurink was hotter and more painful than I expectedㅠ. What can I say—beauty comes at a price... I endured the pain while looking forward to the results and made an appointment for two weeks later before leaving.
