Improve sagging skin and wrinkles at once

Laser Lifting

Laser lifting delivers ultrasound and RF energy to specific depths of the skin,contracting loose tissues and inducing new collagen production without surgery.At PIAF Clinic, we select equipment and depth based on skin condition and goals.

Quick and easy with non-surgical methods

PIAF Clinic Laser Lifting

Refine the skin from within without incisions or threads

Laser lifting delivers heat to the deep dermis or SMAS without damaging the skin surface. The heated tissue contracts immediately, and over several weeks, new collagen forms, gradually improving elasticity and texture. The procedure typically takes 10-30 minutes, with minimal recovery time, making it convenient for busy individuals. Ultrasound devices (Ultherapy, Shurink, Liftera 2) excel in deep lifting, RF devices (Thermage FLX, Thermage) enhance overall elasticity and fine lines, and air pressure drug delivery (Airjet 2) aids dermal regeneration. Results and duration may vary by individual.

PIAF Laser Lifting Effects

Improved Skin Tone
Increased Collagen Production
Overall Wrinkle Reduction
Immediate Lifting Sensation
Non-surgical V-line Contouring

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Lifting

Ultherapy

Procedure TimeApprox. 30 minutes
AnesthesiaTopical
Duration6 months to 1 year
Recovery TimeMinimal
Standard high-intensity focused ultrasound lifting device

Ultherapy lifting is a device that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to the SMAS and deep dermis while visualizing the skin layers. It creates thermal coagulation points at target depths with minimal surface damage, leading to tissue contraction and gradual collagen regeneration for lifting and elasticity improvement. Considered for those seeking relatively long-lasting results from a single session, though results and duration may vary by individual.

PIAF Ultherapy Lifting Principle

Weakened Collagen, Sagging Skin

Step 01

Weakened Collagen, Sagging Skin

Over time, collagen decreases and tissues loosen, causing wrinkles and sagging.

Ultrasound Energy Delivery

→Step 02

Ultrasound Energy Delivery

Delivers focused ultrasound to the SMAS layer without surgery, creating thermal coagulation points.

Collagen Regeneration with RF Heat

Thermage

Procedure TimeApprox. 10-15 minutes
AnesthesiaTopical
Duration3 to 6 months
Recovery TimeMinimal
Standard monopolar RF lifting device

Thermage lifting is a device that evenly delivers monopolar RF energy to the dermis, enhancing elasticity both on the surface and within. It induces collagen remodeling by delivering 40-60°C heat deep into the skin, with multiple cooling pulses per shot to reduce heat discomfort. The short procedure time allows for treatment even during lunch breaks, though results may vary by individual.

PIAF Thermage Lifting Principle

RF Heat Delivery

Step 01

RF Heat Delivery

Water molecules separate and denature in collagen, contracting and promoting new collagen over time, improving elasticity and contours.

Monopolar RF Method

→Step 02

Monopolar RF Method

Reaches deeper layers than bipolar, promoting collagen regeneration from within the skin.

Smart Cooling System

→Step 03

Smart Cooling System

Multiple cooling pulses per shot reduce pain discomfort.

PIAF Thermage Advantages

Reversing Time with Air Power

Airjet 2

Procedure TimeApprox. 30 minutes
AnesthesiaNone
Duration3 to 6 months
Recovery TimeMinimal
Standard air pressure drug delivery lifting device

Airjet 2 lifting is a device that uses a special nozzle to inject drugs into the dermis with micro air pressure instead of needles, promoting collagen production. The drug disperses 360 degrees in the dermis, breaking fibrous tissues that cause wrinkles and stimulating fibroblasts to aid skin regeneration, with potential pore reduction effects. It's non-invasive and allows quick recovery with minimal disruption to daily life, though results may vary by individual.

PIAF Airjet 2 Lifting Principle

Before Procedure

Step 01

Before Procedure

Skin condition with increased fine lines and reduced elasticity over time.

Drug Injection

→Step 02

Drug Injection

A special nozzle is placed near the hairline to inject drugs into the dermis with strong air pressure.

Drug Action

→Step 03

Drug Action

The drug disperses 360 degrees, breaking fibrous tissues causing wrinkles and stimulating fibroblasts.

Regeneration Progress

→Step 04

Regeneration Progress

As the dermis absorbs the drug, elasticity increases, and wrinkles are reduced.

PIAF Airjet 2 Advantages

Reduced skin irritation and pain discomfort
Applicable to the entire face
Increased skin density through collagen production
Facial contour refinement

PIAF Airjet 2 Recommended for

  • For those needing to return to daily life immediately after the procedure
  • For those wanting to correct facial asymmetry
  • For those hesitant about lifting due to pain
  • For those concerned about reduced skin elasticity

More Delicate for Contoured Areas

Liftera 2

Procedure TimeApprox. 20 minutes
AnesthesiaTopical
Duration3 to 6 months
Recovery TimeMinimal
Standard dual handpiece high-intensity ultrasound lifting device

Liftera 2 lifting is a device that quickly delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer, reducing damage to surrounding tissues while improving sagging skin. It minimizes surface damage and continuously delivers focused ultrasound at specific depths, allowing precise treatment of contoured areas like beside the nose and under the jawline. Using line-type cartridges shortens procedure time, though results may vary by individual.

PIAF Liftera 2 Lifting Principle

Improved Wrinkles and Sagging

→Step 04

Improved Wrinkles and Sagging

Tissues contract and regenerate, improving wrinkled and sagging skin.

PIAF Liftera 2 Advantages

Short procedure time with line cartridges
Delicate lifting for contoured areas
Improvement of nasolabial folds and double chin
Reduced pores and improved skin elasticity

PIAF Liftera 2 Recommended for

  • For those wanting to enhance overall facial elasticity

Elasticity Rising from Within

Shurink

Procedure TimeApprox. 30 minutes
AnesthesiaTopical
Duration3 to 6 months
Recovery TimeMinimal
Standard high-intensity focused ultrasound lifting device

Shurink lifting is a device that precisely focuses ultrasound energy at depths of 1.5 to 9mm in the skin, achieving lifting effects. It strengthens the skin layers and SMAS layer of the face and body, which have sagged due to aging, allowing for both elasticity improvement and lifting. By using cartridges of different depths, it addresses fine lines in the superficial dermis to deep sagging in stages, though results may vary by individual.

PIAF Shurink Lifting Principle

1.5mm Superficial Dermis Thermal Coagulation Point

Step 01

1.5mm Superficial Dermis Thermal Coagulation Point

Creates thermal coagulation points in the superficial dermis, affecting fine lines and skin texture.

3mm Deep Dermis Thermal Coagulation Point

→Step 02

3mm Deep Dermis Thermal Coagulation Point

Creates thermal coagulation points in the deep dermis, stimulating elastic tissues.

4.5mm SMAS Layer Thermal Coagulation Point

→Step 03

4.5mm SMAS Layer Thermal Coagulation Point

Creates thermal coagulation points in the SMAS layer, contracting the layer causing sagging.

Lifting Through Contraction and Regeneration

→Step 04

Lifting Through Contraction and Regeneration

Tissues repeatedly coagulate and contract around thermal coagulation points, resulting in lifting.

PIAF Shurink Advantages

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.What is the difference between Ultherapy and Shurink?
Both are high-intensity focused ultrasound devices, but differ in energy delivery methods, depth configurations, and skin visualization during treatment. Suitable equipment is recommended during consultation based on sagging degree, pain sensitivity, budget, and duration goals.
Q.Which is better, RF or ultrasound?
Ultrasound acts deeply on the SMAS layer for sagging improvement, while RF is effective for overall dermal elasticity and fine lines. Neither is always better; it depends on skin condition and goals, and both may be combined in a plan.
Q.When do effects start, and how long do they last?
A slight tightening is felt immediately post-procedure, with collagen regeneration changes typically appearing over 4-12 weeks. Duration varies from 3 months to around a year depending on equipment and individual, with regular maintenance aiding longevity.
