Mid Face Lifting in Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong delivers non-surgical mid face lifting using a multi-device approach — Ultherapy Prime HIFU, Sofwave SUPERB ultrasound, Onda Coolwaves, Titanium radiofrequency, and Inmode FX/FORMA — to restore cheek volume projection, tighten nasolabial folds, and re-contour the mid face without surgery or downtime. Board-certified dermatologists Dr. Seung-Jae Baek and Dr. Hoon-Sung Son customize every lifting protocol.
What Is Non-Surgical Mid Face Lifting and Why Myeongdong Seoul?
Non-surgical mid face lifting targets the cheek, nasolabial fold, and lower eyelid area using energy-based devices to tighten SMAS and stimulate collagen without incisions. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers Ultherapy+Sofwave+Inmode (₩1,950,000), Titanium+Onda+Inmode (₩1,550,000), and Revinas+Onda+Inmode (₩1,580,000) — all performed by board-certified dermatologists 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station.
The mid face is the area most affected by gravitational aging: cheek fat pads descend, the malar eminence flattens, and deepening nasolabial folds create an aged, tired appearance. Traditional surgical face lifts address this with tissue repositioning, but non-surgical mid face lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong achieves significant improvement through energy-based tissue tightening at multiple depths. Ultherapy Prime targets the deep SMAS layer (4.5mm) and sub-dermal plane (3.0mm) with focused ultrasound. Sofwave treats the mid-dermis (1.5mm) with SUPERB technology. Onda Coolwaves delivers microwave energy for volumetric tissue heating. Titanium combines diode laser and radiofrequency for deep dermal tightening. Head Director Dr. Seung-Jae Baek selects the optimal combination based on skin laxity severity, fat pad position, and collagen quality. For patients with significant mid face volume loss, lifting devices may be combined with nasolabial fold fillers for comprehensive mid face rejuvenation.
Mid Face Lifting Before & After at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Actual patient results from multi-device lifting treatments. Individual outcomes vary depending on skin laxity and treatment protocol.
Mid Face Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Step by Step
From assessment to results, every lifting protocol is customized for your mid face anatomy.
Mid Face Assessment & Treatment Planning
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek evaluates your mid face anatomy including cheek fat pad position, skin elasticity, SMAS laxity, nasolabial fold depth, and bone structure. This determines which combination of devices will produce the best lifting result. Patients with significant SMAS laxity may need Ultherapy Prime at deep focal depths. Those with primary skin laxity may respond better to Sofwave and Titanium combination.
Multi-Device Lifting Treatment
The treatment begins with the deepest-acting device first. For the Ultherapy+Sofwave+Inmode protocol: Ultherapy Prime delivers focused ultrasound to the SMAS and sub-dermal layers with ultrasound visualization; Sofwave follows with SUPERB mid-dermal heating; Inmode FX or FORMA provides surface radiofrequency tightening. Treatment takes 60-90 minutes depending on the protocol and number of shots.
Post-Treatment Care
Mild redness and warmth are normal after multi-device lifting. RE:BERRY Myeongdong applies cooling masks and LDM ultrasound therapy to reduce any swelling. There is no true downtime — patients can resume normal activities immediately, though mild tenderness may persist for 1-3 days.
Progressive Results & Follow-Up
Initial tightening is visible immediately due to collagen contraction. Progressive improvement continues for 3-6 months as new collagen and elastin fibers mature. A follow-up assessment at 3 months evaluates results and determines if additional sessions would further optimize the lifting effect. Contact via WhatsApp (+82-2-776-2822) for remote follow-up.

The Science Behind Non-Surgical Mid Face Lifting
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting energy-based tissue tightening and collagen remodeling for mid face rejuvenation.
HIFU and the SMAS Layer: Ultherapy’s Deep Lifting Mechanism
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) as delivered by Ultherapy Prime creates precise thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at targeted depths in the skin. At 4.5mm depth, the focused ultrasound beam reaches the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) — the same tissue layer addressed in surgical face lifts. Each TCP raises tissue temperature to 60-70 degrees Celsius, causing immediate collagen denaturation and contraction, followed by a neocollagenesis cascade over 2-6 months. Alam et al. (2010) demonstrated significant improvement in mid face laxity with HIFU treatment, with peak results at 3 months and effects lasting 12+ months. The ultrasound visualization feature of Ultherapy allows the practitioner to see the tissue layers in real-time, ensuring energy is delivered precisely to the SMAS.
Multi-Depth Combination Protocols: Synergistic Tissue Remodeling
The rationale for combining multiple devices in a single mid face lifting session is based on the principle that different tissue depths respond to different energy modalities. Ultherapy targets the deep SMAS and sub-dermal layers. Sofwave’s SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology treats the mid-dermis at precisely 1.5mm with 3D thermal heating. Onda’s Coolwaves (2.45GHz microwave) provide volumetric tissue heating for fat remodeling and skin tightening. Inmode’s bipolar RF addresses surface skin laxity. By treating all layers simultaneously, the cumulative collagen response is greater than any single device could achieve. Hsu and Kaminer (2003) first demonstrated that combination energy-based protocols produce superior skin tightening results compared to monotherapy.
Mid Face Anatomy and Age-Related Changes
The mid face contains the malar fat pad, which provides youthful cheek projection. With aging, this fat pad descends due to ligamentous laxity and gravitational forces, creating a deflated mid face and deepening the nasolabial fold. Simultaneously, collagen and elastin degradation causes skin to lose its ability to resist gravity. Non-surgical mid face lifting with energy-based devices addresses both the structural support (SMAS tightening) and the skin quality (collagen remodeling) to reverse these age-related changes without the risks and recovery of surgical intervention.

What Patients Say About Mid Face Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I was considering a surgical face lift but decided to try the Ultherapy+Sofwave+Inmode protocol first. The results are amazing — my cheeks are visibly lifted and my nasolabial folds are much softer. No surgery needed. Dr. Baek is incredibly skilled.”
“The Titanium+Onda+Inmode package gave me noticeable mid face tightening within weeks. The price in Korea was about one-third of what I was quoted in Hong Kong for a similar multi-device protocol. The clinic is easy to find from Myeongdong Station.”
“My mid face was sagging after weight loss and I felt I looked older than my age. After the Revinas+Onda+Inmode treatment, my face looks naturally lifted. Friends keep asking what I am doing differently. Absolutely worth the trip to Seoul.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Mid Face Lifting in Myeongdong Seoul
Expert answers from RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s board-certified dermatologists.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers Ultherapy+Sofwave+Inmode at ₩1,950,000, Revinas+Onda+Inmode at ₩1,580,000, Titanium+Onda+Inmode at ₩1,550,000, and Inmode+Shurink entry-level lifting at ₩399,000. All prices exclude VAT.
Mid face lifting targets the cheek, nasolabial fold, and lower eyelid area to restore youthful projection and reduce sagging. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, non-surgical mid face lifting uses energy-based devices (Ultherapy, Sofwave, Onda, Titanium, Inmode) to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen at multiple depths.
Non-surgical lifting produces moderate improvement equivalent to turning back 3-5 years. For severe laxity, surgical intervention may be needed. However, RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s multi-device protocols achieve results that satisfy the majority of patients seeking mid face rejuvenation without surgical risks and downtime.
Multi-device lifting results typically last 12-18 months. Annual maintenance sessions sustain the lifting effect. Individual duration depends on age, skin quality, and lifestyle factors. Younger patients with early laxity often see longer-lasting results.
No true downtime. You may experience mild redness and warmth for 1-2 hours, and slight tenderness for 1-3 days. All protocols allow immediate return to normal activities. No visible bruising or swelling with energy-based lifting.
Ultherapy can produce a deep aching sensation during treatment that most patients find tolerable. Sofwave is generally comfortable. Inmode produces a warm sensation. RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides comfort management throughout the procedure including topical numbing if requested.
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek recommends the optimal protocol during consultation based on your skin laxity severity. Ultherapy+Sofwave+Inmode is best for significant SMAS laxity. Titanium+Onda+Inmode works well for moderate laxity with contour concerns. The Inmode+Shurink package suits early laxity or maintenance.
Yes. RE:BERRY Myeongdong frequently combines energy-based lifting with nasolabial fold fillers or cheek volumizers for patients with both laxity and volume loss. Lifting provides the structural tightening while fillers restore lost volume.
Ultherapy Prime delivers High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth — the same tissue surgeons address in face lifts. It creates thermal coagulation points that cause immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodeling.
Sofwave uses SUPERB (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to heat the mid-dermis at precisely 1.5mm depth. While Ultherapy treats the deep SMAS, Sofwave fills the gap by treating the upper dermal layers for comprehensive multi-depth tightening.
Onda delivers 2.45GHz microwave energy (Coolwaves) that produces volumetric tissue heating for skin tightening and mild fat remodeling. For mid face lifting, it contributes to overall tissue contraction and contouring.
Yes. Energy-based lifting devices like Ultherapy, Sofwave, and Inmode deliver energy below the epidermis, making them safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types including Asian skin. There is minimal risk of pigmentation changes.
Immediate tissue contraction creates a visible lifting effect on the day of treatment. Progressive improvement continues over 2-6 months as new collagen matures. Peak results are typically visible at 3-4 months.

Titanium combines diode laser (810nm) and radiofrequency in a single handpiece for synergistic deep tissue heating. It reaches 2-4mm depth and is particularly effective for skin tightening and firming the mid face area.
Inmode FX uses fractional radiofrequency with micro-pins for deeper tissue remodeling. FORMA uses non-invasive bipolar RF for surface tightening. Dr. Baek selects the appropriate Inmode modality based on whether deeper or surface treatment is needed for your mid face.
Mid face lifting primarily targets the cheek and nasolabial area. For jowls, RE:BERRY Myeongdong may extend the treatment area or recommend a full-face lifting protocol. The same devices (Ultherapy, Sofwave, Onda) effectively treat the lower face and jawline.
Many patients achieve satisfying results from a single multi-device session. For more significant laxity, 2-3 sessions spaced 3-6 months apart may be recommended. Your dermatologist assesses whether additional sessions would benefit you.
Yes, but inform your dermatologist about all previous filler treatments. Energy-based devices can be used safely in areas with hyaluronic acid fillers. Dr. Baek adjusts device settings and treatment areas accordingly.
Patients aged 35-65 with mild to moderate mid face laxity are ideal candidates. Younger patients (30s) with early sagging benefit from preventive lifting. Patients over 65 with severe laxity may need multiple sessions or may consider combining with thread lifting.
