Treatment Overview
Radiofrequency Jawline Tightening in Korea is a non-invasive dermatology procedure designed to tighten sagging jawline skin, improve elasticity, and enhance lower-face contour using RF energy. The procedure works by delivering controlled heat to the dermal and subcutaneous layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production and promoting natural tissue contraction.
Korean dermatologists are recognized for their precision, advanced RF devices, and combination therapy expertise, allowing natural, lifted jawline results without the need for surgery or prolonged recovery. RF is often combined with other modalities such as HIFU, InMode, PDO threads, or dermal fillers for optimal jawline sculpting.
Purpose & Benefits

- Non-Surgical & Safe: Achieves lifting without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.
- Combination Therapy Compatible: Works well with HIFU, PDO threads, dermal fillers, or skin boosters for enhanced results.
- Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime allows patients to resume daily activities immediately.
