Sagging Skin Treatments in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is a global leader in advanced cosmetic treatments, offering a wide array of effective solutions for sagging skin. As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity and firmness due to a decline in collagen and elastin. This leads to a droopy appearance. Korean clinics utilize cutting-edge non-surgical and minimally invasive technologies to tighten, lift, and contour the skin, restoring a more youthful and defined look with minimal downtime.


What is Sagging Skin?

Sagging skin is a common sign of aging where the skin loses its firmness. This is primarily caused by a decline in collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep skin tight. Other factors include gravity, sun damage, and weight loss. The most common areas for sagging skin include the jawline, neck, cheeks, and abdomen.


Popular Types of Sagging Skin Treatments in Korea

  • HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound):
  • Ulthera & Shurink: These devices deliver focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin's SMAS layer to tighten tissue and stimulate new collagen, providing a lifting effect.
  • RF (Radiofrequency) Treatments:
  • Thermage FLX: Uses unipolar RF technology to deeply heat collagen fibers, causing them to contract and stimulating new collagen production.
  • Thread Lifts: A minimally invasive procedure where dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to physically lift sagging tissue. The threads also stimulate collagen as they dissolve.
  • RF Microneedling: This combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver heat deep into the dermis, triggering intense collagen remodeling to tighten the skin.
