Treatment Overview
The Hydration Renewal Liquid Facelift is one of Korea’s most innovative non-surgical anti-aging treatments, created to restore volume, improve elasticity, and deeply hydrate the skin. Unlike surgical facelifts, this procedure combines dermal fillers, skin boosters (Rejuran, Nucleofill), and collagen stimulators (Juvelook, Sculptra) to provide both an instant lifting effect and long-term skin rejuvenation.
Korean dermatology clinics are renowned for their multi-layer injection protocols, ensuring natural hydration and contour restoration while reducing wrinkles and signs of aging. This treatment is particularly popular among patients who want not just facial lifting, but also a radiant, hydrated complexion with improved skin texture.
