Skin Tightening & Lifting in Cheongdam, Gangnam — lift and tighten, without surgery.
ARTNER is an internal-medicine-led clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam, and our lifting menu is entirely non-surgical: radiofrequency skin tightening on Accent Prime, HIFU focused ultrasound on Linear Z, PDO thread lifting, and nose threads — matched to your skin and goal by the director, who advises the makers of the technology we use. From ₩200,000, with no downtime and a plan sized to a short trip to Seoul. The judgement of which tool to use, and when to say none of them, is the treatment.
What lifting treatments are offered at ARTNER Cheongdam?
Different kinds of laxity call for different tools — surface tightening, deep lift, or a mechanical lift. Here's what each does, and who it's for.
Radiofrequency warms the deep skin to contract and rebuild collagen — broad tightening and glow with no downtime. Best for early-to-moderate laxity and for maintaining firmness.
Focused ultrasound reaches the SMAS — the layer a facelift tightens — for genuine, non-surgical lift. Best for a softening jawline, jowls and lower face.
Fine absorbable threads lift tissue immediately and stimulate collagen as they dissolve — an instant, defined lift for the face and jawline.
Absorbable threads raise and define the nose bridge and refine the tip — a subtle, non-surgical nose enhancement without implants.
Is my skin a case for RF, HIFU, threads — or none of them?
Four different jobs, four different tools. ARTNER Cheongdam reads the skin first and says plainly when lifting is not the answer.
Early laxity, texture, maintenance
Skin that is softening rather than sagging, or upkeep between bigger treatments. RF skin tightening in Cheongdam on Accent Prime, from ₩290,000, best as a short course with no downtime.
Real lift from the deep layer
A softening jawline, jowls or lower face where surface tightening is not enough. HIFU in Cheongdam reaches the SMAS — the layer a facelift tightens — from ₩390,000 by shot count.
Immediate, visible repositioning
Mild-to-moderate sagging of cheeks or jawline where you want a change you can see the same day. PDO thread lifting in Gangnam from ₩490,000, plus nose threads for the profile.
Volume, fat or advanced sagging
If the heaviness is fat, double chin removal in Cheongdam or face slimming is the tool; if the sagging is advanced, we say honestly that surgery gives the fuller result rather than selling you a course.

Why is lifting in Gangnam held to a medical standard here?
The device matters — but who reads your skin and sets it matters more.
Led by an internal-medicine specialist
Director Dr. Hye-woo Pyeon screens every patient before treatment and matches the right modality — not a one-size protocol — to your skin and goal.
Advisor to the technology
Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime (Alma) in Korea — helping train other clinics on the very platform your RF lifting runs on. The settings are chosen by an expert, not defaulted.
Combined, not oversold
RF, HIFU and threads work best in the right combination. We plan the smallest effective plan and say so honestly when one treatment is enough.

Why reading the skin comes before the tool — the director on lifting
Lifting is not about owning the newest machine. It is about reading a face honestly and choosing the right mix — sometimes RF, sometimes HIFU, sometimes threads, often a combination at ARTNER Cheongdam. That judgement is the treatment.

Skin tightening and lifting in Cheongdam — questions answered.
Four non-surgical routes: radiofrequency skin tightening on Accent Prime, HIFU focused ultrasound on Linear Z, PDO thread lifting, and nose thread lifts. Each has its own page with options and KRW prices, and they are frequently combined in one plan in Gangnam.
By what your skin needs. RF suits early laxity and maintenance; HIFU reaches the deep SMAS layer for real lift; threads reposition tissue immediately for visible change. Dr. Pyeon assesses skin thickness, laxity and volume at consultation and often recommends a combination rather than one tool.
All four are non-surgical. RF and HIFU have essentially no downtime — mild warmth or redness only. Thread lifting is minimally invasive and involves a few days of mild swelling or tenderness, which is the trade-off for an immediate lift.
RF tightening is maintained with a course and periodic top-ups; HIFU results build over 2–3 months and typically hold for around a year; threads give an immediate lift that softens as they dissolve over months, leaving collagen behind. ARTNER Cheongdam gives ranges rather than promises.
Yes, and it is common. HIFU or RF for tightening plus threads for repositioning is the usual pairing, sequenced so the effects support each other. Combining is planned at consultation in Cheongdam rather than sold as a fixed package.
RF from ₩290,000 per session, HIFU from ₩390,000 by shot count, thread lifting from ₩490,000 and nose threads from ₩200,000. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list — no foreigner surcharge, with courses discounted.
Only the skin part. If the heaviness is submental fat, the answer is fat removal — face slimming injection or awake chin liposuction at ARTNER Cheongdam — with lifting added for the skin. We separate the two before recommending anything.
We will tell you honestly. Non-surgical lifting improves early-to-moderate laxity; with very advanced sagging a surgical lift gives a fuller result, and selling a course instead would waste your money.
RF works best as a short course of 3 sessions; HIFU is usually a single session per cycle, planned by shot count; threads are a single placement. Your plan is sized to your stay in Gangnam and reviewed afterwards.
RF feels warm and is comfortable. HIFU is felt as brief pulses at depth and is the most intense of the three, with settings adjusted throughout. Thread lifting is done under local anesthesia, so you feel pressure rather than pain.
Threads lift immediately. HIFU tightens a little at once and builds over 2–3 months as collagen forms. RF is gradual across a course. ARTNER Cheongdam takes comparison photos so change is judged properly rather than by memory.
Yes — face lifting sessions are easily added to a contouring visit, and RF body tightening is often used as aftercare for liposuction. The sequence is planned so recovery windows do not overlap.
Pregnant patients, anyone with an active skin infection in the area, and — for RF — anyone with an implanted electronic device. Very thin skin and certain conditions are discussed individually before booking.
