Experience painless skin tightening with the HIFU + RF V-Lifting Combo!

The V-lifting Combo is a more advanced laser lifting technique revolutionizing the field of dermatology. It utilizes not only HIFU energy but also radiofrequency. This enhances the effects of tightening sagging skin, improving facial asymmetry and overall appearance. 

Think of it as doubling the effect of your face lifting results, where two times more improvements are seen in pore reduction count, skin elasticity, jawline contouring, and skin hydration than using HIFU alone. Combining both modalities makes it possible to increase each device’s effectiveness while maintaining a safe procedure.

Although there are similarities between the V-lifting Combo and the standard V-lifting (HIFU) treatment, the only difference is that the former is more advanced, using two laser energy sources, HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) and RF (radiofrequency), to improve skin laxity. In contrast, the latter only uses HIFU, which is still powerful enough to produce the desired effects.

Moreover, a study has clinically reviewed a comparison of the efficacy of HIFU alone and combined HIFU and RF in twenty-two Korean adults with facial wrinkles and signs of aging. The findings remarkably concluded that RF can significantly improve and rejuvenate the skin by providing a thermal effect to a more superficial area (the upper papillary dermis) than the target area of HIFU, producing efficient and virtually painless results. With the innovation of the HIFU + RF V-lifting Combo, Korean skincare has evolved, spreading its influence worldwide and reaching the dunes of the United Arab Emirates.

WHAT CAN V-LIFTING COMBO (HIFU + RF) DO?

Initially, the V-lifting Combo (V-Ro) is an eyebrow-lifting treatment that uses HIFU and RF to lift effectively without causing too much pain. Through research and development, its use has now expanded to improving and treating skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and facial asymmetry. It is also efficacious in reducing double chin and facial fat and eliminating visible smile lines by tightening the skin.

This type of skin lifting treatment offers convenience as the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) technology are combined in one treatment, producing a synergistic effect and a shortened treatment time. The combination of the technology makes it a better treatment option, where HIFU will be primarily responsible for lifting sagging skin, and radiofrequency will help ease the pain and improve the skin’s overall appearance. It is also designed as a pen-type handpiece, making it not too bulky to reach narrow and curved areas of the face or body.

In the field of dermatology, the HIFU modality in the V-lifting Combo is a new-generation skin-lifting technique that emits thermal heat to induce skin contraction and collagen stimulation. When used alone, it already produces promising outcomes, making it one of the best and top non-invasive skin treatments that can be a great alternative to surgical contouring procedures. On the other hand, the radiofrequency modality in the V-lifting Combo likewise improves skin rejuvenation by thermal heat. Still, the RF waves diffuse into the uppermost layer of the skin called the papillary dermis, a more superficial skin layer than what HIFU targets. Radiofrequency energy waves also help break down excess fat deposits that make the face look saggy while promoting a lifting effect to keep the skin firm and elastic. Therefore, when both modalities are found in one treatment device, it can produce additional benefits such as pore reduction, wrinkle improvement, and skin moisturization.

TO WHOM IS THE V-LIFTING COMBO RECOMMENDED FOR?

The following individuals will benefit the most from receiving the V-lifting Combo treatment:

  1. Patients who seek a slimmer facial appearance.
  2. Patients who desire to reduce or eliminate their double chin.
  3. Patients who want to prevent premature aging or slow down its process.
  4. Patients who want to reduce their fine lines and facial wrinkles.
  5. Patients who want to eliminate skin laxity and look younger.

HOW IT WORKS

V-lifting Combo utilizes HIFU and RF energy to generate thermal heat, causing cellular damage once the device makes contact with the skin. This phenomenon triggers the skin cells to regenerate and stimulate collagen and elastin production, producing firmer, healthier, and glowing skin. The V-lifting Combo targets deeper layers of the skin, reaching the SMAS layer, located just between the subcutaneous fat and muscle layer, without damaging the superficial skin layer and adjacent tissues.

Additionally, it can break down fat cells in specific parts of the face, particularly the chin and jowls. It works using the vacuum suction option in the laser device, which reduces fat deposits by producing an electrical pulse trigger, resulting in a slimmer and more defined facial appearance. The fat cells that are broken down are naturally eliminated from the body through sweat or urine. 

The V-lifting Combo comes in a pen-type handpiece, making it easy to work it around the crevices of the face and body. It features various cartridges that can be used according to the target skin layer and can offer meticulous and delicate treatment. By producing thermal heat to form, what we call, the coagulation points, it can reach the deep dermal layers to the SMAS layer, disrupting the skin cells’ structure, forcing them to regenerate and trigger collagen production.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE V-LIFTING COMBO PROCEDURE?

The V-lifting Combo device is equipped with patented safety sensors that allow them to improve the skin’s overall appearance without burning it. These patented safety sensors offer contact and movement detection, so when the probe comes into contact with the skin, the heat emitted will not be concentrated in one place, preventing thermal burns. 

However, although the treatment is non-invasive, it can still produce minimal side effects as it utilizes thermal heat to achieve the desired results. There will be slight redness in the skin after the procedure that is guaranteed to subside in a few days; otherwise, there is no actual downtime or significant side effects caused by using the V-lifting Combo device.

Yeppeun Skin Clinic ensures you experience minimal side effects for a quicker recovery and satisfactory results. We follow strict dermatology regulations set by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) to ensure your safety and maintain the quality of our Korean skincare procedures.

AFTERCARE TREATMENT

Aftercare is important following every aesthetic treatment. Therefore, Yeppeun Skin Clinic incorporates Korean skincare into its aftercare services to facilitate a quick recovery period. As the V-lifting Combo deals with heat, your skin may appear slightly red, but you don’t need to worry, as it will fade shortly after. You can gently wash your face post-treatment with non-irritating facial washes or soap. Use rejuvenation creams as moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated, and apply sunblock (at least SPF 30+) whenever you go outdoors and reapply at least once or twice throughout the day to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. 

Also, avoid exposing the target area to extreme temperatures, such as going to ice rooms, the sauna, or hot baths for at least 1~2 days to not disrupt your skin’s healing process. Otherwise, you can typically continue your daily activities, apply your skin routine, or wear light makeup.

WHAT OTHER TREATMENTS CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE V-LIFTING COMBO PROCEDURE?

Although the V-lifting Combo treatment already produces remarkable effects on the skin, dermatologists still highly recommend combining it with other aesthetic treatments to enhance its results.

For example, BB Shine and Reboot Peel are famous for simultaneously providing deep cleansing, brightening, and hydration effects, as both involve exfoliating ingredients such as AHA, BHA, and LHA. Combined with the V-lifting procedure, they can enhance its effectiveness, offering an overall facial rejuvenation for a youthful glow.

Injectables like skin boosters, HA (hyaluronic acid) fillers, collagen, and PLLA (Poly L-Lactic acid) boosters can also supplement the treatment results. Skin boosters containing functional ingredients such as collagen and PLLA can deeply hydrate and restore the skin’s elasticity, making them a perfect partner to the V-lifting HIFU procedure. 

Another notable facial procedure is the Slender Shots, which contain deoxycholic acid that primarily reduces localized fat deposits in the face and body. When performed one after the other, it can boost the contouring effects on the skin, resulting in a slimmer and defined face line.

Lastly, as V-lifting is a laser-induced face-lifting procedure, it works well with other mini facelift procedures such as Ultherapy and Virtue Divine – Eye. Each procedure utilizes different technology, thus offering distinct advantages.

FAQs

They only differ on how advanced the V-lifting Combo procedure is. While the classic V-lifting treatment only utilizes HIFU energy, the V-lifting Combo uses a combination of HIFU and RF (radiofrequency) energy to treat sagging skin and improve the skin’s overall appearance while reducing the pain as heat makes contact with the skin.

Results can last for 6 to 9 months. However, it may vary among each person as several factors may affect the duration of the results, such as the individual’s skin type, age, and lifestyle. Proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle can help maintain the results for longer.

A V-lifting procedure that combines HIFU and RF energy can last about 15 to 20 minutes. However, it will still depend on the severity of the sagging skin and the patient's condition. Slight redness may be visible after the treatment but will fade in a few hours.  

It is best to avoid tanning or heavy sun exposure and apply sunscreen when outdoors before your treatment. Also, avoid exfoliating scrubs and peeling facials 4 weeks before the procedure. To prepare before your V-lifting Combo procedure, it is also best to be healthy without having any contraindicating medications for a smooth-flowing process. 

Generally, a V-lifting Combo procedure can be done once or twice a year. However, it will depend on your doctor’s recommendations and the condition of your skin. V-lifting results are meant to be long-lasting, and the skin will also need to completely heal before another procedure, hence why treatment sessions with the device are done sparingly.
