Quick answer · What is Sagging Skin?
Sagging skin is loss of firmness that shows as loose cheeks, early jowls and a softer jawline, caused by collagen and elastin decline, sun damage, weight changes and loosening of deeper tissue. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong it is usually treated with Thermage FLX radiofrequency, Ulthera Prime ultrasound or Onda, sometimes with collagen stimulators. Device sessions take 30–60 minutes with no or minimal downtime, and tightening builds over two to three months.

How it works
Why skin sags and how energy devices firm it
As collagen and elastin weaken and the deeper SMAS layer loosens, gravity pulls tissue downward along the cheeks and jawline. Focused ultrasound and radiofrequency heat these layers so existing fibres contract and new collagen forms, while collagen-stimulating injectables improve skin quality, giving gradual, natural firming.
-
Laxity diagnosis
Your doctor assesses how much and where your skin has loosened, its thickness and your facial volume.
-
Tailored treatment
After numbing cream, the chosen device or injectable is applied to the planned areas in a private room.
-
Follow-up & maintenance
Firming builds over two to three months; most patients maintain results with a session every 6–12 months.
Before & after
Firmer cheeks and a sharper jawline
Most patients notice firmer skin and a cleaner jawline building gradually over the months after treatment; severe sagging may need surgical options.

FAQ
Sagging Skin questions we hear every day
What is the best treatment for sagging skin?
Thermage FLX suits loose, crepey skin, Ulthera Prime targets deeper sagging and Onda suits lower-face fullness. See our non-surgical sagging skin treatment page; your doctor matches the option at the free consultation.
Can sagging skin be fully reversed without surgery?
Non-surgical lifting improves mild to moderate laxity but does not give the same result as a surgical facelift. Severe sagging may need a surgical opinion.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients see improvement after one device session, with results building over two to three months. Maintenance is usually every 6–12 months.
Is there downtime?
Usually none or mild redness for a few hours. Mild swelling or tenderness is possible after ultrasound lifting.
Can I fly home or sightsee after treatment?
Yes. Most patients sightsee the same day and fly the next day without problems.
How much does sagging skin treatment cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the device, the area and the number of shots used. The same price list applies to every nationality and is given to you in writing before treatment. See our lifting price list.
