What is Core Facial Lifting, and what does it do?

Core Facial Lifting is Boom Dermatology's combined session for the mid-face: the cheeks, nasolabial folds and the line from cheekbone to jaw, where sagging and volume loss happen together and a single device rarely fixes both. In one visit the doctor uses focused ultrasound on the deeper supporting layer and radiofrequency on the skin layer, with the energy of each set so the two do not overlap on the same tissue. The result is a lifted cheek line and firmer skin from one appointment rather than two.

In Seomyeon we suggest it to patients who have been quoted two separate treatments elsewhere, to those on a short trip to Busan who want one strong session, and to anyone whose main complaint is the mid-face rather than the jawline. It is planned, not packaged: the doctor decides the split between ultrasound and RF after looking at your profile, and the shot counts for each are written on your record.

What Busan patients ask before Core Facial Lifting
  • My cheeks have dropped and the lines from nose to mouth are deeper, but I do not want filler.
  • I was told I need HIFU and RF. Do I really need two visits?
  • Is a combined session just two treatments at a discount?
  • Which part of my face is this for?
  • Will it look natural?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who is Core Facial Lifting for?

Good candidates

  • Mid-face sagging: flattened cheeks, deeper nasolabial folds, a blurred cheek-to-jaw line
  • Patients who want one strong session on a short trip
  • Those who were quoted HIFU and RF separately
  • Early to moderate laxity in the thirties to fifties
  • Patients who prefer energy to filler for volume-related sagging

We will suggest something else

  • A primarily dropped jawline, where Ultherapy alone is the better plan
  • True volume loss that needs filler or a collagen stimulator; the doctor will say so
  • Heavy jowls or skin excess that needs threads or surgery
  • Metal implants or a pacemaker in the field, or filler placed in the last four weeks
  • Pregnancy

03 The visit

What happens at a Core Facial Lifting session in Seomyeon?

This is how a Core Facial Lifting visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.

1

Message first

Front and side photos on WhatsApp. The doctor replies with the planned split and the VAT-included price.

2

Consultation and layer plan

The doctor presses the mid-face to separate sagging from volume loss, then decides ultrasound lines and RF shots. Both counts go on your record.

3

Numbing, twenty to thirty minutes

Topical anaesthetic for the RF part; the ultrasound part rarely needs it.

4

Ultrasound, then RF

Lines on the deeper layer along the cheek vectors first, then RF on the skin layer with cooling. Forty-five minutes.

Out the door

Mild pinkness, sunscreen on. Seomyeon Station is a one-minute walk.

6

Two-week review

We message you for a photo. Definition builds for three months.

How does Boom Dermatology dose Core Facial Lifting?

Core Facial Lifting is two doses in one plan, and the split is the decision.

Which layer moved

If the cheek has dropped, more ultrasound lines; if the skin has loosened, more RF shots. The doctor decides after pressing the tissue.

Energy budget

The total energy is set so ultrasound and RF do not stack on the same tissue in one session.

Interval

Every six to twelve months, with Shurink or InMode in between if you want maintenance.

05 Compare

Core Facial Lifting vs Ultherapy Prime and Oligio: which should you choose in Busan?

The two devices Core Facial combines, shown on their own. If your problem is only the deep layer, Ultherapy alone; only the skin, Oligio alone; both in the mid-face, the combined session.

Device Best for Time Downtime Price
Core Facial Lifting Mid-face, deep layer + skin in one session 45 min Mild from ₩550,000
Ultherapy Prime Deep lift with imaging, jawline and brow 45–60 min 1–3 days tenderness from ₩1,320,000
Oligio Skin-layer tightening, monopolar RF 40 min None from ₩495,000
06 Downtime

Downtime after Core Facial Lifting, and flying home

Mild. Pinkness from the RF part fades within hours; the cheeks may feel tender when pressed for a day or two from the ultrasound part. Travel and work the same day are fine.

07 Questions, answered properly

Is a combined session just two treatments at a discount?

No, it is one plan. The point is the split: how much of the session goes to the deeper layer and how much to the skin, set from your face, with the total energy capped so the two do not overlap. Two separate full sessions would cost more and deliver more heat than the mid-face needs. If the doctor thinks you need a full Ultherapy and a full Oligio, that is what you will be told, not sold a combination.

Which part of the face is Core Facial Lifting for?

The mid-face: the cheeks, the nasolabial folds and the line from the cheekbone down to the jaw. It is not a jawline treatment, which is ultrasound along the jaw, and not an eye treatment, which is a dedicated RF tip. Patients whose main complaint is "my cheeks have dropped" are the ones it is designed for.

Should I have this or filler for my cheeks?

Depends on whether the cheek has dropped or deflated. Sagging responds to energy; deflation responds to volume. Many faces over forty have both, and the doctor will tell you which one is driving your profile. We do not place filler on the same day as energy lifting; the two are scheduled two weeks apart.

Will it look natural?

Yes, because nothing is added. Energy lifting tightens what is there; the change is a firmer cheek line and shallower folds, not a new shape. Results build over three months, which also means nobody sees a sudden change.

Can I do this on a short trip to Busan?

Yes. One visit of forty-five minutes, mild tenderness for a day, and the result builds after you leave. Tell us your dates in the first message and we plan around the flight.
