GANGNAM HERA

Treatment category

Lifting Treatments

Gangnam HERA carefully analyzes each patient’s skin elasticity, wrinkle patterns, and degree of sagging, applying a variety of lifting techniques—such as Ultherapy, Thermage, and thread lifting—either individually or in combination. Through this process, the clinic provides the most suitable lifting solution for each person, achieving results that are natural and harmonious.

The Lifting Treatments lineup

Premium Lift ComboFace lifting

Premium Lift Combo

Premium Lift Combo unites three signature non-surgical devices—Ultherapy, Thermage, and Titanium—to lift the skin layer by layer. Focused ultrasound tightens the deep SMAS, radiofrequency regenerates collagen in the dermis, and laser energy refines surface tone and texture. Working in sequence, they create a synergistic lift from the deepest support layer to the surface for naturally firm, well-defined contours.

MINT Thread LiftFace lifting

MINT Thread Lift

MINT is an absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) thread made by the Korean company HansBiomed. The MINT product family holds US FDA 510(k) clearance (K220549, March 2023) for soft tissue approximation and for face suspension surgery, where the thread temporarily holds the cheek sub-dermis in a raised position. Small barbs running in two directions along the thread grip the tissue so it can be lifted along a planned line. The thread then degrades and is reabsorbed by the body over time.

Aptos Thread LiftFace lifting

Aptos Thread Lift

An Aptos thread lift places barbed threads made of P(LA/CL), with hyaluronic acid in the NAMICA threads, under the skin along planned lines. The barbs lift sagging tissue at once, and as the thread absorbs, the skin forms new collagen. It is done under local anesthesia, without incisions.

Silhouette Soft Thread LiftFace lifting

Silhouette Soft Thread Lift

Silhouette Soft is a resorbable thread from Sinclair, a global medical aesthetics company. It is made from polylactic acid (PLLA) and carries small cones that point in two directions, so it anchors in tissue with cones rather than barbs. The Silhouette Soft family holds EU MDR Class III certification, issued by the notified body BSI (2797) and announced in 2024. Class III is the highest risk class in the EU system and gets the closest review. Sinclair lists its EU-approved use as facial and neck reconstruction in the treatment of facial asymmetry and sagging (ptosis).

Ultherapy PrimeFace lifting

Ultherapy Prime

Ultherapy Prime at HERA starts with data, not guesswork. Before treatment, Gangnam HERA scans your face with Eve V Muse AI, digitizing wrinkle depth, volume, lifting angle, and texture into precise 3D data. Ultherapy Prime intensity, shot count, and lines are then pre-designed to your exact skin structure, so focused ultrasound reaches the SMAS layer where it lifts sagging tissue most effectively.

Preheat ThermageSkin tightening

Preheat Thermage

Preheat Thermage is Gangnam HERA's two-step synergy lift. First, the Soprano Titanium laser warms the skin deeply, priming the tissue and refining facial lines. Then Thermage FLX radiofrequency contracts and regenerates dermal collagen to complete the tightening. Priming before the radiofrequency stage lets energy pass more evenly and comfortably, for a firmer, smoother lift than radiofrequency alone.

Soprano TitaniumSkin tightening

Soprano Titanium

Soprano Titanium is a next-generation laser lift that harnesses light rather than radiofrequency or ultrasound. It fires three wavelengths—1064 nm, 810 nm, and 755 nm—simultaneously, delivering energy deeply and powerfully. Two modes tailor it: Stack Mode stamps concentrated heat around 8 mm deep for an intensive lift, while SHR Mode glides at 3–5 mm for even, comfortable warming that improves tone and elasticity.

10Thera LiftingFace lifting

10Thera Lifting

10Thera is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lift built on 2-Line HIFU technology. Ultrasound reaches the SMAS at 60–80°C, triggering collagen and elastin to contract and regenerate so the skin rebuilds from within. Its 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm cartridges target the dermis, fat layer, and SMAS at the right depths, and firing two lines per shot makes treatment about twice as fast with less discomfort.

Overview

About Lifting Treatments at HERA

Skin laxity rarely comes from one cause, which is why HERA's lifting category spans several technologies — thread lifting, HIFU (Ultherapy-style), radiofrequency (Thermage-style), and combination protocols — instead of a single device. AI-assisted skin mapping is often the starting point for energy-based options, so treatment depth and pattern can be tailored to your skin's structure rather than applied generically.

Because these technologies work at different tissue depths, some patients are advised to combine two methods — for example, a thread lift with an energy-based device — for a more complete approach to sagging. That decision is made together with your doctor, not before your consultation.

Who this suits

  • Patients noticing sagging along the jawline, cheeks, or neck
  • Those comparing thread lifting vs. HIFU vs. RF and wanting an honest recommendation
  • Patients who want a non-surgical option before considering surgery
  • International visitors who want their full lifting plan mapped in one consultation

Dr. Han Jin Yi, Jasmine and the team were so amazing. My appointment was on time. I had a skin analysis and a very thorough consultation. The translator, Jasmine was just wonderful and the Dr. too. Everyone was very professional —very communicative throughout the entire procedure. Numbing was fully adequate and very little pain during the procedure I felt very well taken care of thank you so much, HERA.

I visited Gangnam Hera Lifting & Filler Clinic — an experience that only Korea can offer! 🇰🇷✨ A modern treatment with real, visible results for the skin. I tried Tenthera 800 Lines Procedure: Face + Interior with Dr. Lee Jong Hoon, and it was such an interesting experience to see how advanced Korean aesthetic treatments have become. I’ve been living in Korea for over five years, and I’m always looking for the best aesthetic treatments, impeccable service, and highly professional care. Having English interpretation available also makes the whole experience much more comfortable and ensures a clear understanding of every step of the treatment.

I visited Gangman Hera Clinic and received lip filler from Dr. Kim Jong Seon. I was greeted by Jasmine when we first arrived and she assisted in translating the entire visit for us. This clinic is so clean, professional, and every staff member was kind and welcoming. I felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed the treatment process as well as my results. We had a full consultation to answer any questions and concerns we had. I would recommend this clinic to anyone visiting Seoul looking to get a luxury treatment.

I went to Hera Clinic to get Titanium Lifting for my skin concerns including developing wrinkles and overall contouring. My doctor was Dr. Lee Jong Hoon and he was very kind and easy to talk to. He recommended the appropriate kJ for my skin condition after a thorough consultation. The procedure itself also went well, although I did felt a bit more heat than I expected. Overall, my experience was very comfortable—also thanks to all the nice staff and interpreter who assisted me throughout my visit~
