Those searching for Hongdae lifting are probably often people who pursue natural beauty.

Popular aesthetic treatments such as fillers and Botox do have distinct advantages, but since they involve injections, they are inevitably more noticeable than lifting treatments. Discomfort or apprehension about injections is also a factor that cannot be overlooked.

For those who want to improve their skin’s own capabilities and enhance its condition rather than inserting substances that may feel foreign, lifting is once again a good option.

So you search specifically for Hongdae lifting,

“Why are there so many types?”

Many of you may have felt confused. That is because there are more than one or two types of lifting. Even among lifting devices, there are various options depending on the energy used, ranging from devices that have been around for 10 years to ones that have been available for less than a year.

The names may also seem quite unfamiliar: Ultherapy, Thermage, Ulthermage, Shurink, Thor lifting, and so on.

Those who have only just started looking into Hongdae lifting may put down their phones, thinking, “I’ll just drink plenty of water and apply sunscreen diligently.”

Of course, lifestyle habits such as staying hydrated and using sunscreen are more important than anything else. I also believe it is not too late to look into lifting after establishing those two habits.

If you still feel that something is lacking even after developing those habits, or if you are looking into lifting for long-term anti-aging and skin care, I think it would be helpful to remember just this name.

That name is ‘SERF.’

I will explain the advantages of ‘SERF’ and why I hope many people will learn about this lifting treatment.

Hello, I am Director Jo Won-jin of Chai Clinic.

I would like to introduce the SERF treatment to those who are interested in Hongdae lifting. Since we were the first clinic in Mapo-gu to bring in the SERF device, I believe I can explain the advantages of this SERF treatment with greater confidence.

SERF is a new lifting treatment launched in May 2024, less than a year ago.

“Is it really a good device if it has been available for less than a year?”

“Wouldn’t Ultherapy or Thermage, which have more data, be better?”

Some of you may ask these questions.

For those of you who are this thorough, as well as those who have not yet decided which lifting treatment to receive, I would like to explain three advantages of SERF.

SERF’s first advantage is that it is suitable for personalized treatment.

There is a principle of Chai Clinic that I always mention:

“There is no identical skin in the world.”

Because no two people have exactly the same skin, there cannot be identical skin concerns or identical causes. Perhaps this is also why various lifting devices have been developed.

Then, despite the variety of skin concerns and causes, why do I say that you should know about this one lifting treatment, SERF?

It is because personalized treatment is possible for a variety of skin concerns.

SERF uses two types of frequencies and can be performed in three modes: Shallow, Middle, and Deep. Thermal energy can be selectively delivered from the superficial to the deeper layers of the skin. The energy level can also be adjusted across 10 different settings.

As mentioned earlier, skin concerns and their causes can be complex. Thermal energy can be delivered according to the layer of the skin where the cause of the concern lies.

There are also four types of tips. They come in various forms so they can be applied according to the area, thickness, and contours of the skin.

For example, if you are concerned about fine lines around the eyes, you could use EFFECTOR 05 or EFFECTOR 10, which are dedicated tips for the eye area.

There are also EFFECTOR 40, which can cover the entire treatment area, and EFFECTOR 60, which can cover wider and thicker areas.

The second advantage is that pain is managed very effectively.

What is the long-standing disadvantage of lifting devices based on thermal energy?

It is pain.

As I have mentioned before, although lifting treatments such as Ultherapy and Thermage provide a high level of satisfaction, pain is the very reason many people hesitate to undergo them.

However, SERF was developed with significant improvements to address this issue. The reason is its differentiated cooling system. A cooling pulse is delivered every time a shot enters the skin tissue, which can help reduce pain.

Many people may ask the following:

“If it hurts less, doesn’t that mean the level of satisfaction is also lower?”

“Is the thermal energy really being delivered effectively? Isn’t feeling pain necessary for a successful treatment?”

To put it simply, the SERF EFFECTOR 60 tip mentioned above has an area 1.5 times larger than the Thermage Total Tip. Because its area is 1.5 times larger, more energy is delivered.

Receiving 600 shots with the EFFECTOR 60 tip is said to provide the same level of satisfaction as 840 shots with the Thermage Total Tip.

This is why I hope those looking into Hongdae lifting will be sure to learn about SERF. It is a lifting device that addresses both satisfaction and pain.

The third advantage is that the treatment time is short.

One reason many people cannot receive lifting treatments even if they want to is that it is not easy to set aside the time. People who usually work often need to take a day off separately for the treatment or book a weekend appointment in advance.

However, SERF treatment takes about 30–40 minutes based on 600 shots. Of course, there are other lifting treatments with similar procedure times, but the important point is that you do not need to spend time on anesthesia.

Anesthesia usually takes about 40–50 minutes. Ultherapy is also one of the lifting treatments that requires anesthesia.

However, because SERF manages pain effectively, a separate anesthesia process is not necessary.

For those who want lifting but do not have much time, it would not be out of place to call this a “lunchtime lifting treatment,” would it?

Yes, today I introduced SERF lifting among the various lifting treatments.

Over the past nine years of performing aesthetic skin treatments, I have encountered various lifting devices, but I think this is the first product I have seen that addresses the disadvantages of lifting treatments so comprehensively.

That is why I introduced it, hoping that those looking into Hongdae lifting would learn about SERF above all else.

Of course, you know that what should be considered before SERF is a “detailed consultation process,” right?

Since each person’s skin condition and concerns may differ, lifting may not necessarily be the right answer for everyone. Please keep this in mind, and I hope you find a dermatology clinic that suits your needs perfectly.

I hope this has been useful information for those looking into Hongdae lifting. I will conclude here.

This was Chai Clinic, customizing your beauty. Thank you.
