Treatment Overview
UltraV RF is a cutting-edge Korean microneedling RF treatment designed for skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and scar repair. Using advanced devices like Potenza and Secret RF, the treatment combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy, delivering heat into the dermis to trigger natural collagen and elastin regeneration.
UltraV RF is especially popular in Korea because it provides firming, wrinkle reduction, and pore refinement with minimal downtime. It is often chosen by patients seeking non-surgical lifting and overall skin rejuvenation for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look.
