The first signs of aging often appear not as wrinkles, but as a softening of the face line. Customized device therapy, tailored to each client’s skin condition, helps restore a defined facial contour and a balanced overall impression.
Hyper-RF
ALTEON
Signature Anti-Aging Contouring
“Refining the line, restoring density a complete skin conditioning treatment”
Secret scalp,
Director Kim Naeun @secretscalp
The ALTEON Signature Anti-Aging Contouring treatment uses ALTEON, a dual-system platform combining Hyper-RF and dual laser energy. Energy is delivered deep into the skin layers, supporting firmness at the surface level and helping to redefine a softened face line. As a non-invasive facial contouring treatment, ALTEON is designed for comfort — clients can experience immediate tightening and a smoother face line without significant discomfort. Specialized handpieces, optimized for target areas such as the eye contour, double chin, and cheekbones, allow for precise energy control. This enables a sculpting-like approach to three-dimensional facial definition. The treatment philosophy centers on “personal design” — a thorough analysis of each client’s skin condition before beginning. For sensitive or blemish-prone skin, soothing and circulation support are prioritized. For aging concerns, the focus shifts to skin elasticity treatment. Where fine lines are prominent, refined surface-smoothing techniques are applied to create a more even skin texture. To maintain results achieved through this face lift device therapy, clients are guided toward consistent hydration to support the skin’s elasticity environment, along with daily sun protection as a post-treatment essential.

CASE STORY
A client in her late twenties with blemish-prone skin sought a smoother, more defined face line. Many clients with active skin concerns share a common hesitation: they want RF skin tightening results, but worry about increased sensitivity. In this case, the treatment was adapted to carefully bypass active blemish areas while focusing on line refinement. A hydrating, soothing base was applied first to lower skin temperature and prepare the skin to receive energy safely. A bypass targeting technique was then used — avoiding areas of concern while concentrating on facial contouring treatment along the jawline and contour zones. A dual-layering approach followed to support skin texture and elasticity simultaneously. The client reported a noticeably smoother face line and improved skin texture, with no discomfort or irritation.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
KERASON Prime & REINA A Facial Remodeling
“Restoring a defined elasticity line through precision energy care”
Bonna Aesthe,
Director Lee Soyoung @bonna_aesthe
Effective facial contouring treatment goes beyond temporarily lifting the skin’s surface. The goal is to precisely redefine face lines affected by gravity and time. KERASON Prime addresses this with broad, deep energy waves that penetrate evenly through multiple skin layers. This high-intensity focused ultrasound approach firms skin that has lost elasticity and creates the structural foundation needed to restore a defined contour — a process closer to revealing the skin’s natural three-dimensionality than producing artificial change. Following KERASON Prime treatment, REINA Radiance A Formula — a biotech-driven formulation — is applied to sustain the firmness achieved and elevate overall skin condition. The formula adheres comfortably to the skin, enhancing texture and adding uniform luminosity to complete a more defined facial contour.

CASE STORY
A client in her fifties discovered the salon through social media. Her primary concerns were sagging of the mid-cheek area and a blurred jawline caused by aging. To more clearly define the lower facial contour, the energy transfer mode of KERASON Prime was used — focusing on the double chin line and the lower cheekbone area to restore dimension. REINA Radiance A Ampoule was then applied to replenish volume and support the skin from within. After the session, the client examined her reflection and expressed great satisfaction with her more defined face line and firmer-looking cheeks — remarking that she had experienced “the essence of K-Beauty.” In South Korea’s results-driven aesthetic culture, this kind of layered, precision-based approach has become a defining feature of professional facial contouring treatment.
Microwave
FAU Premium 3D Lifting Contour
“A sculpted silhouette achieved by combining manual contouring with advanced device technology”
Lien Skin & Body,
Director Ryu Youngju @lienskin01
Following manual contouring, a 2.45GHz microwave device — Xperon Microwave — is applied to enhance synergistic results. The technology vibrates water molecules within the skin, generating heat that penetrates deep skin layers and supports smoother face line definition. This is followed by Thermajet RF, which passes through subcutaneous tissue to produce deep heat, stimulating collagen fibers and promoting skin elasticity treatment outcomes. The combined application leaves skin feeling noticeably firmer and more refined. To extend the effects of this face lift device therapy at home, the following products are recommended: FAU Core Intensive Caviar Ampoule, Hydra Calming Ampoule, Skin Solution SOS Cream, and Multi Active Nutrition Cream. Peptides and amino acids in the ampoules deliver rich post-treatment nourishment, while EGF and FGF growth factors support elasticity and overall skin condition improvement. Finishing with the SOS Cream and Nutrition Cream reinforces the skin barrier with hydration and nutrients, helping clients maintain stable skin condition in daily life following treatment.

CASE STORY
A 46-year-old female client visited with concerns about a thickened neckline and double chin following significant recent weight gain. Trapezius muscle tension associated with forward head posture was first addressed through a décolleté treatment to relax the area and improve circulation. Xperon Microwave (100,000 joules) and Thermajet RF (100 shots) were then applied in combination to deliver precise thermal energy. After the session, the neckline appeared noticeably more refined and the double chin area showed visible improvement. A second client, a woman in her mid-fifties who had not received treatment for two years due to a demanding schedule, presented with significant loss of skin elasticity — resulting in an overall heavy and dull appearance. Following detailed contouring care, Xperon Microwave (80,000 joules) and Thermajet RF (150 shots) were applied intensively. The double chin area showed clear improvement, and the previously blurred facial contour appeared more defined and lifted.
Microcurrent
GINO Idradermie Lift 1000
“Precision-designed facial contouring — refined without irritation”
Kwak Minjung Skin & Body Yangsan Sasong Main Branch,
Director Kwak Minjung @kwakminjung_skinbody
Sensitive skin types often face hesitation when considering contouring treatments due to concerns about irritation. The GINO Idradermie Cellular Energy system addresses this through dynamic galvanic and modulated low-frequency technology, reducing irritation risk while simultaneously targeting skin condition and elasticity concerns. This makes it a versatile face lift device for a wide range of skin types. Treatment protocols are customized based on individual skin condition. For clients seeking skin elasticity treatment, facial line refinement, or volume balance care, the Idradermie Lift 1000 is combined with manual contouring — focusing on key facial contour zones to define a previously blurred silhouette. For clients presenting with redness, dryness, or general sensitivity, the Lift 1000 is paired with LDM therapy to prioritize skin barrier care and hydration. An intensive schedule of twice weekly for the first three to four weeks, followed by maintenance sessions every ten days, is recommended — allowing even sensitive skin to gradually achieve a clearer, firmer-looking face line. Post-treatment consultations are provided to help clients establish a sustainable home care routine. Cream-type masks and other maintenance-supporting products are introduced through sampling, allowing clients to identify the most suitable options for their individual needs.

CASE STORY
A 57-year-old client — a reconnection after a twenty-year gap — returned to the salon presenting with multiple concurrent concerns: hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and significant loss of skin elasticity. Years of prolonged driving, sun exposure, and occupational stress had accumulated visibly. A combined protocol of intensive and maintenance treatments was implemented. After just one session, a noticeably brighter skin tone was observed. By the third session, the chronic dryness that had long been a primary concern showed meaningful improvement. The eye contour area — the client’s most significant concern — appeared more refined, while improved volume balance in the cheek area contributed to an overall more defined facial contour. The previously blurred jawline was reestablished naturally, reflecting the cumulative effect of consistent facial contouring treatment. The client now visits regularly, maintaining stable skin condition as part of an ongoing care routine.
