Treatment Overview
The Hanok Harmony Ultralift uses micro-focused ultrasound energy (Ultherapy) to target the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System)—the same layer lifted in surgical facelifts. By delivering heat into this layer, the treatment stimulates the skin’s natural repair process, creating new collagen and elastin for a firmer, tighter, and more youthful structure.
Unlike aggressive lifts, this treatment focuses on facial harmony—improving definition where needed (jawline, cheeks, brows) while keeping results natural and balanced.
Purpose and Benefits
- Facial Lifting: Elevates sagging skin around the cheeks, jowls, and jawline.
- Contour Refinement: Defines the face while preserving soft, natural proportions.
- Collagen Regeneration: Promotes long-term skin renewal.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and smooths skin texture.
- Non-Surgical Approach: Targets facelift layers without incisions or downtime.
- Preventive Care: Helps maintain elasticity in younger patients.
- Cultural Harmony Aesthetic: Results focus on balance rather than dramatic alteration.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults in their 30s to 60s with mild-to-moderate sagging.
- Individuals noticing jawline heaviness, cheek drooping, or early jowls.
- Patients who want non-surgical lifting instead of invasive facelifts.
- Men and women seeking subtle, natural rejuvenation.
- Younger patients looking for preventive collagen support.
Possible Risks and Complications
- Temporary redness, warmth, or tingling (fades in hours to days).
