Titanium Lifting Price in Korea: Sessions, Areas and Combinations

On this page
I'm Dr. Jong Hoon Lee, a physician at Gangnam HERA in Seoul. I co-authored LIFTINGOLOGY: Science and Clinical Practice in Aesthetic Medicine and am a foundation member of the Korean Academy of Facelift & Contouring, so lifting is most of what I do. Before a visit to Seoul, patients usually ask me two things in one message: "How much is titanium lifting in Korea — and is one session enough, or am I paying for several?" I will be direct about why I do not print a figure: the estimate depends on the areas you want treated, how the two laser modes are planned, how many sessions make sense for your skin, and whether titanium is used alone or inside a combination programme. What I can do is show you each of those factors, so the written estimate you receive makes sense line by line. International and local patients pay exactly the same.
Why is there no titanium lifting price in this article?
Because a titanium lifting plan is built for a face, and a printed figure would fit only one version of it. A single session on the lower face for someone with early softening is a different plan from a full-face course for someone who also wants tone improved, and both are different again from titanium used as the first step of a combination lift.
A headline number online also tends to describe the smallest version of a treatment. I would rather you see the plan your skin actually needs, in writing, after a doctor has examined you, and then decide. At HERA that estimate is itemised and given before any treatment begins.

What decides the cost of titanium lifting?
Four things: the areas treated, how the modes are planned, the number of sessions, and whether titanium is combined with another device.
The areas
Soprano Titanium can treat the full face, the cheeks, the jawline and double chin, and the neck. One area is a smaller plan than the full face and neck together.
The modes
The device fires three wavelengths — 1064nm, 810nm and 755nm — together, in two modes. Stack Mode stamps concentrated heat around 8mm deep for an intensive lift; SHR Mode glides at 3–5mm for even warming that improves tone and elasticity. They are combined to suit your goals, and the plan for each area is set at consultation.
The number of sessions
A single session gives a visible effect, but a short series is often recommended for stronger, longer-lasting elasticity. That is usually the biggest difference between two estimates.
Combination or not
Titanium is also the warming step in Preheat Thermage, one half of Dual-Line Tenti and one of three devices in the Premium Lift Combo. A combination adds a second device, so it is a different estimate.
Is one session enough, or will I need a series?
One session can show a visible change, but many faces do better with a short series — and I tell you which before you pay for anything. Soprano Titanium stimulates collagen, and collagen builds over weeks. Some patients want a quick refresh before an event and are happy with one session. Others want firmness that lasts, and for them a series is the more honest plan.
The effect typically lasts 6 to 12 months as collagen rebuilds, varying with skin condition. When you compare prices, compare what you get over a year, not the cost of one visit. Results vary from person to person, which is exactly why the number of sessions is decided after I have seen your skin rather than fixed in advance.
How does titanium alone compare with the combination programmes?
Titanium alone is the simplest plan; a combination adds depth, and it adds a line to the estimate. The table shows what each option adds, using the typical effect duration for each.
| Option | What it adds | Typical effect duration |
|---|---|---|
| Soprano Titanium | Laser lift for elasticity and tone, virtually no downtime | 6–12 months |
| Preheat Thermage | Titanium warming first, then Thermage FLX radiofrequency tightening the dermis | 12–18 months |
| Dual-Line Tenti | 10Thera ultrasound for the deep SMAS, plus Titanium for the epidermis and dermis | About 12–18 months |
| Premium Lift Combo | Ultherapy, Thermage and Titanium in sequence, layer by layer | 12–24 months |
If your laxity is mild and your main goals are tone and firmness, titanium alone is often the sensible choice. If you felt a single device did not firm your skin enough before, or the sagging is deeper, a combination may be better value even though it is a larger estimate. The Thermage cost guide and Ultherapy cost guide explain how those devices are priced.

Where is money most often wasted on titanium lifting?
On the wrong treatment for the face, not on the wrong price. Titanium improves elasticity and tone in mild laxity. It does not reposition heavy jowls or remove fat under the chin. Someone with that kind of sagging can pay for several titanium sessions and see little change, when threads or a deeper ultrasound lift would have done the job.
The opposite also happens: paying for a large combination when a short titanium series would have been enough. My job at consultation is to match the plan to your skin, and to tell you plainly when the smaller plan is the right one. Our titanium lifting guide explains who the treatment suits.
How is titanium lifting quoted at HERA?
After a doctor's assessment, as an itemised written estimate, before treatment — the same for international and local patients.
- Photo consultation (optional): from abroad, a front photo and a side profile in daylight let me tell you whether titanium is likely to suit you.
- Consultation and skin analysis: I assess tone, elasticity and comfort to choose the modes and areas.
- Written estimate: areas, sessions and any combination are listed line by line, and nothing is added without your agreement.
- On the day: treatment takes within 30 minutes; mild warmth or slight flushing fades quickly, so most people return to their plans straight away.

What do patients ask me next?
"Can I spread a series across several trips?"
Often, yes. We plan the spacing at consultation so the sessions fit your travel, and the estimate shows the whole course so there are no surprises later.
"Is titanium cheaper than Thermage?"
They are different treatments doing different jobs, so compare what each does for your skin first. Our Thermage FLX guide explains the radiofrequency side.
"Does it hurt?"
It is one of the gentler lifts. Continuous contact cooling protects the surface, and most patients feel only mild warmth.

What are the honest limits?
Titanium lifting is maintenance for mild laxity, not a substitute for a deeper lift. It firms and brightens; it does not lift heavy tissue, remove fat or stop ageing, and its effect typically lasts 6 to 12 months. No estimate can promise a particular result. What I can promise is an honest view of whether titanium suits your skin and how many sessions it is worth, before you spend anything.
Book a consultation
If you are pricing titanium lifting, send me a front photo and a side profile in daylight, and tell me which areas you want to improve. We will arrange a consultation in Gangnam, or a photo consultation first if you are still abroad. An English interpreter joins every visit, and you receive an itemised written estimate before anything begins — international and local patients pay exactly the same.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q1How much is titanium lifting in Korea?
It depends on the areas treated, how the laser modes are planned, the number of sessions and whether titanium is combined with another device. At HERA you receive an itemised written estimate after a doctor’s assessment, and international and local patients pay the same.Q2Is one titanium lifting session enough?
A single session gives a visible effect, but a short series is often recommended for stronger, longer-lasting elasticity. The number of sessions is decided at consultation.Q3How long does titanium lifting last?
At HERA, Soprano Titanium results typically last 6 to 12 months as collagen rebuilds, varying with skin condition. Results vary from person to person.Q4What is the difference between titanium alone and a combination lift?
Titanium alone is a laser lift for elasticity and tone. Combinations such as Preheat Thermage, Dual-Line Tenti or the Premium Lift Combo add radiofrequency or ultrasound to reach deeper layers, which changes the plan and the estimate.Q5Is there downtime after titanium lifting?
Virtually none. Mild warmth or slight flushing may appear and fades quickly, so most patients return to daily life immediately.
