Apgujeong Onda Lifting and Sylfirm: With This Combination, Your Face Line Changes Right Away

Hello, I’m Dr. Taeo Park, director of Relieve Clinic in Apgujeong.

“Instead of Ulthera or Thermage, what is good these days?” This is a question I hear very often in the clinic lately.

If you search while taking an interest in lifting procedures in Apgujeong,

there are many different devices introduced, such as Ulthera, Thermage, Sylfirm, and Onda lifting.

But in reality, not many people clearly understand which option suits their skin type and face shape, or the specific direction they need.

Apgujeong Onda Lifting and Sylfirm

The Apgujeong Onda lifting and Sylfirm I’ll talk about today is

a lifting solution I actually recommend to patients with the most confidence.

That’s because it is overall stable and highly satisfying in terms of low pain, post-procedure response and effect, and the recovery process.

I’ll explain in this article why this lifting procedure is drawing attention these days,

so please read to the end and get up to date on the trend.

Apgujeong Onda Lifting and Sylfirm

With this combination, your face line changes right away

Sylfirm and Onda lifting

Why are these two combination lifting procedures drawing attention?

Lifting devices all differ in principle and in the layer they act on.

Because the effects are different, it is very important to choose a procedure that matches your own face.

Apgujeong Sylfirm elasticity lifting First, Sylfirm lifting delivers radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin (dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, etc.) to promote collagen production,

and is a procedure that improves skin elasticity and provides a lifting effect.

Compared with conventional radiofrequency, the heat sensation is softer and more consistent, so the pain is lower and the irritation is less.

Because energy can be adjusted by depth from the epidermis to the dermis to the fat layer, it is a lifting procedure that allows customized treatment from the surface to deeper layers.

It can be comfortably received even by people with thin or sensitive skin.

Apgujeong Onda lifting

Onda lifting targets areas where fat has accumulated, such as the cheeks or double chin, using ultra-short microwaves.

There is almost no direct heat damage to the epidermis, and the heat is mainly concentrated in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer,

so it is effective for fat breakdown (especially double chin, cheek fat, nasolabial folds, etc.), collagen regeneration, and improving skin texture.

By acting selectively only on the inner subcutaneous fat, it has an advantage in contour lifting that makes the facial line look distinctly defined.

It is also known for causing almost no pain, which is one reason it is popular, and many people receive it for purposes such as organizing the fat layer or refining skin texture.

Apgujeong lifting procedure

Why do Sylfirm + Onda lifting get performed together? Everyone’s face sags for slightly different reasons.

Some people sag because the skin itself has lost elasticity,

while others sag because heavy fat in the cheeks or under the chin creates the appearance of drooping.

That is why, when doing a lifting procedure,

rather than relying on just one device, a more effective approach is to look at the face three-dimensionally and combine treatments.

Category	Sylfirm Lifting	Onda Lifting
Energy type	Radiofrequency (Monopolar RF)	Microwave
Target area	Mainly the dermis (collagen layer)	Mainly the subcutaneous fat layer (cheek fat, double chin)
Main effects	Collagen regeneration, improved elasticity	Fat layer contraction, contour refinement
Suitable candidates	Cases where the skin is thin or loss of elasticity is the main cause	Cases where the face line has collapsed due to excess fat
Level of pain	Mild (soft warmth)	Almost none (built-in cooling)
Synergy combination	Dermis-targeting	Fat-layer targeting → three-dimensional lifting effect

Sylfirm stimulates the collagen layer inside the skin to improve elasticity,

and Onda lifting organizes the subcutaneous fat layer to make a collapsed face line look more defined.

When devices that act on different depths are properly combined like this,

they can more three-dimensionally complement areas that may feel lacking with a single procedure.

However, rather than expecting the same result for everyone,

it is important to accurately diagnose your skin type, elasticity, and fat distribution first,

and then create a procedure plan that fits those factors.

Sylfirm + Onda lifting

This combination is recommended for people with the following concerns.

• People who were not satisfied after Shurink or Ulthera

• People concerned about hollow cheeks with a peanut-shaped face

• Face shapes troubled by cheek fat, jowls, or double chin

• People who want to naturally refine their facial line without surgery

• People with sensitive skin or a low tolerance for pain

Because Sylfirm and Onda are devices that deliver stimulation through different energies and methods,

they form a combination that can approach areas or concerns that felt lacking with a standalone device in a more detailed way.

Even if the concern is the same,

the lifting combination applied can be completely different.

Even if the concern is the same, a completely different lifting combination may be suggested through a 3D skin diagnosis and consultation.

Even if they look similar on the surface, skin thickness, fat distribution, and sensitivity to stimulation vary from person to person.

We pursue a lifting approach that prioritizes planning before devices, taking these individual differences into account,

and in the end, what matters most is not the device itself, but how it is planned.

That is why I want to emphasize that you should visit nearby medical professionals who have a customized treatment principle that creates different plans according to skin characteristics and purpose.

The most important thing is to understand your own face properly

Lifting procedures are becoming less about simply “pulling the face”

and more about planning and combining treatments that suit the structure of the face and the condition of the skin.

Rather than strong stimulation or trendy procedures,

the process should begin with checking what direction is actually needed for you.

If you are curious about lifting,

first carefully check with nearby medical professionals what your face currently needs. Thank you.

Sincerely, Dr. Taeo Park, Relieve Clinic
