in one treatment

Titanium Lift uses three diode laser wavelengths (755, 810 and 1064 nm) to deliver energy to the skin and underlying tissue simultaneously. Its effects are described as B.T.S.: brightening, tightening and slimming.

Sapphire cooling protects the epidermis, so treatment generally feels warm. It can treat the full face and neck, and you can return to your daily activities right away.

Firmer skin, refined contours and brighter tone

Lifting & contours

STACK mode delivers laser heat to deeper fat and retaining-ligament layers, refining sagging contours and the under-chin area.

Wrinkles and firmness

Three wavelengths reach different depths at the same time, distributing heat through the skin to improve firmness and lines on the face and neck.

Skin tightening

SHR mode heats the dermis evenly, contracting collagen to give the skin an immediate feeling of tightness.

Brightness & tone

Alongside tightening, SHR mode’s dermal heating brightens dull, uneven skin tone.

Texture and pores

Laser heat stimulates collagen and improves skin density, smoothing texture and making pores look less noticeable.

Collagen renewal

Collagen renewal continues over time, improving firmness throughout the treated skin.

Laser lifting results: patient experiences

My makeup sits better now

I tried Titanium Lift hoping for a more defined facial outline. During treatment, I mostly felt warmth. When I looked in the mirror afterward, my contours seemed a little different. Later, my pores also seemed less noticeable and my makeup went on more smoothly.

I chose Titanium for my first lifting treatment

It was my first lifting treatment, so I started with Titanium. Even with anesthesia, it became quite painful toward the end. I could see a change afterward, but it didn’t last as long as I had expected. Based on my experience, the discomfort and duration are worth considering together.

My profile looks a little smoother

I was bothered by uneven contours in profile. I’d tried other lifting treatments without seeing much difference. After Titanium, my profile looked just a little smoother. It wasn’t a dramatic change, but I noticed small differences. That’s how it feels to me.

I discussed my hollow cheeks before treatment

I already had some hollowing in my cheeks, so I brought it up before Titanium. Right afterward, it actually seemed more noticeable. My face may have looked slightly neater, but I couldn’t see a big difference. Some of the result wasn’t what I’d expected.

How a laser lifts and tightens the skin
Your doctor explains how it works

How can a laser provide lifting? Two modes deliver energy at different depths.

Illustration of the skin and underlying tissue
  1. Three wavelengths

    One applicator delivers three wavelengths simultaneously, reaching different tissue depths.

  2. Surface cooling

    Sapphire contact cooling reaches −3°C to help reduce discomfort and irritation.

  3. Deep heating

    STACK mode heats the fat and retaining-ligament layers to help lift facial contours.

  4. Heating the dermis

    SHR mode heats the dermis evenly for immediate tightening and brightening.

Planning treatment depth:
Your doctor selects the mode for each layer and area

The device has two modes; your doctor decides where to use each. Dr. Cho, who has led clinical case discussions at Alma Korea’s users’ meeting, distinguishes thicker from thinner areas. Deeper STACK treatment addresses the cheeks and under-chin area, while SHR is used for the forehead and neck lines.

Titanium Lift: questions about comfort, side effects and results
Answers from our doctors

How do I choose a Titanium Lift clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul?

Results depend on planning and technique. Check who handles the consultation and procedure, whether authentic devices and supplies are used, and whether treatments can be combined to suit your face. Dong-An Joongsim Clinic is an Alma Elite Award recipient. A doctor conducts both your consultation and your treatment, with time for your individual concerns.

How does Titanium Lift work?

One applicator delivers 755, 810 and 1064 nm laser wavelengths simultaneously. STACK mode targets deeper fat and retaining-ligament layers, around 6–8 mm, for lifting and contouring. SHR heats the dermis, around 3–4 mm, for tightening and brightening. Sapphire cooling protects the surface.

When will I see results?

You may notice changes in firmness and facial contours immediately. With repeated sessions, skin tone, texture and the appearance of pores can also improve.

How long does it last, and how many sessions will I need?

Duration varies with age and skin condition. We usually recommend three sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, with your doctor adjusting the plan to your skin.

How uncomfortable is Titanium Lift?

Discomfort is usually low enough that topical anesthesia is unnecessary. Many patients describe a warm sensation, though individual experiences vary. Without the wait for anesthesia, treatment takes under 30 minutes.

Are there side effects? Can I go out afterward?

You can generally return to your plans immediately. Mild redness may occur but usually settles quickly. Avoid saunas, steam rooms and deep facial massage for about 3–4 days, and use sunscreen and moisturizer.

What if I’m worried about cheek hollowing?

Tell your doctor beforehand if you have little cheek fat or are concerned about hollowing. Your doctor assesses facial fat and skin thickness, then chooses deeper STACK or dermal SHR treatment separately for each area.

What determines the cost?

Cost depends on the area (such as the full face or neck), the combination of modes and the number of sessions. Your doctor examines your skin, develops a plan and explains the cost during consultation.

What do patients mention in reviews?

Some patients describe good results and appreciate the clinic’s range of devices. Others discuss having Titanium Lift together with ONDA.

Has the treatment been featured in Japan?

Yes. Titanium Lift and ONDA appeared in STORY’s January 2026 feature on Korean beauty travel, in its introduction to Dong-An Joongsim Clinic.
