What is a non-surgical facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is a plan of treatments that lift and firm the face without cutting the skin. Energy-based devices heat the deeper layers of the skin to tighten tissue and stimulate new collagen: Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound, while Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency. Results build gradually over two to three months, so the change looks natural rather than sudden.
For a more immediate lift, dissolvable threads can reposition sagging cheeks and jowls. Botox and fillers may refine contours, and skin boosters improve skin quality. Because faces age in different ways, the doctor at Egg Clinic usually combines two or more of these, choosing devices and intensity based on your skin thickness, laxity and how much downtime you can have. This tailored approach aims for a refreshed look rather than an obviously "done" result.
Who is a good candidate?
- Mild to moderate sagging of the cheeks, jowls or jawline
- Loss of skin firmness and fine wrinkles
- People in their 30s to 60s wanting a fresher look
- Anyone wanting to avoid or delay surgery
Non-surgical lifting gives a modest, natural change and is less effective for very loose, heavy skin, which may need a surgical opinion. Energy-based treatments should wait during pregnancy, with active skin infection, or with certain implanted electronic devices, and threads with some bleeding disorders. The doctor reviews your medical history at consultation and explains what change is realistic for your skin.

Ultherapy vs Thermage vs thread lift
Ultherapy targets deeper lifting layers and is often chosen for jawline and brow lift. Thermage heats a broader, shallower area and is often chosen for overall skin firmness and texture. Thread lifts give an immediate, visible lift with a few days of mild swelling. Many patients combine them, for example Ultherapy for the lower face with Thermage for skin tightening.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor assesses skin laxity, thickness and face shape, then recommends a combination of lifting treatments.
-
Comfort
Numbing cream is applied; threads also use local anaesthetic at the entry points.
-
Treatment
Devices are passed over the treatment areas, and threads or injectables are added if planned, usually in 30–90 minutes.
-
Aftercare
Mild redness, swelling or tenderness usually settles within days. Use sunscreen and avoid saunas for a few days, and facial massage after threads.
Tips for international patients
- Send photos on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can propose a plan and timing.
- Energy-based lifting has little downtime, so it fits well into a short trip.
- If threads are included, book them early in your stay so swelling settles before you fly.
- Ask about maintenance intervals so you can plan your next visit.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a non-surgical facelift last?
Results typically last six to eighteen months depending on the treatments, your age and skin. Ultherapy and Thermage effects often last around a year.
Does a non-surgical facelift hurt?
Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used. Energy-based devices cause heat and brief discomfort that varies by person.
What is the downtime after a non-surgical facelift?
Usually little or none for energy-based treatments. Threads can cause mild swelling or bruising for a few days.
When will I see results?
Threads lift immediately, while Ultherapy and Thermage results build over two to three months as collagen forms.
Can a non-surgical facelift replace surgery?
For mild to moderate sagging it can give a visible, natural lift. It cannot remove excess skin, so advanced sagging may need surgery.
How much does a non-surgical facelift cost in Seoul?
