Titanium Lifting has become a popular no-downtime lifting option in Korea. Here is what it costs in Seoul, how it works and how it fits into a short trip.
Titanium Lifting is a diode laser treatment that fires three wavelengths at once to tighten and brighten the skin with no downtime. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong in Seoul, it costs ₩450,000 for the full face, ₩550,000 for the full face plus under the chin and ₩690,000 for the full face and neck. Prices are in KRW and exclude 10% VAT. Many people notice a firmer, brighter look straight away, and results usually last three to six months.
Prices are in Korean won, exclude 10% VAT and are confirmed by a doctor at consultation.
How much does Titanium Lifting cost in Seoul?
At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, Titanium Lifting starts from ₩450,000 for the full face. Adding the under-chin area brings it to ₩550,000, and the full face with neck is ₩690,000. Unlike shot-based lifting devices, Titanium is priced by area. All prices are in Korean won and exclude 10% VAT.

| Full face | Forehead, cheeks, jawline and lower face | ₩450,000 |
| Full face + under the chin | Adds the submental area for a cleaner jawline | ₩550,000 |

What is Titanium Lifting?
Titanium Lifting uses a diode laser platform that delivers three wavelengths at the same time. Each wavelength is absorbed at a slightly different depth, so the combined heat reaches several layers of the skin in one pass. The handpiece glides continuously over the skin with built-in cooling, which keeps the treatment comfortable.
The heat tightens and refines the skin, and many people notice a smoother, firmer and brighter look straight after treatment. With time, the warming effect also supports collagen. Because the energy is spread evenly rather than concentrated in deep points, there is no visible downtime. Read more on our Titanium Lifting treatment page.
Why is Titanium priced by area, not shots?
Titanium is a gliding laser treatment. The doctor moves the handpiece continuously across a zone until a target amount of energy has been delivered. So it makes more sense to price by the area treated than by individual shots. When comparing quotes in Seoul, check exactly which zones are included, whether under the chin or the neck are part of the plan, and whether a doctor sets the energy level.
Area pricing also means the price does not change if the doctor needs an extra pass on a looser jawline. That is useful if you are unsure how much treatment you need, because the agreed price stays the same once the plan is confirmed. If you want under-chin looseness addressed, choose the plan that includes the submental area rather than the face alone, since treating the jawline without the area beneath it can leave the lower-face contour looking unfinished.
What results can you expect from Titanium Lifting?
Titanium is valued for its immediate effect. Many people see a fresher, tighter look on the day, which makes it popular before events, photos or a wedding. That early effect settles over the following days, while gradual collagen support continues for several weeks.
| When | What you may notice |
|---|---|
| Same day | Smoother, brighter skin and a slightly firmer jawline |
| First week | Day-one firmness softens; skin still looks refreshed |
| Weeks 2–6 | Gradual improvement in firmness and texture |
| Months 3–6 | Effect fades toward baseline; time to plan maintenance |
These are typical ranges, not promises. Results vary with age, skin thickness and how loose the skin is. See the Titanium Lifting results timeline.
What happens during a Titanium Lifting session?
Titanium is one of the simplest lifting treatments to fit into a Seoul itinerary. A typical appointment looks like this:
- Consultation in English. A licensed doctor checks your skin type, any recent sun exposure, and where your laxity sits, then confirms the area and price with you.
- Cleansing. Makeup and sunscreen are removed. Numbing cream is optional, because most people find the gliding warmth comfortable.
- Treatment. The doctor or medical staff under the doctor's supervision moves the handpiece in passes over each zone. You feel steady warmth with cooling at the tip. Energy is adjusted for thinner areas, such as around the eyes and over bone.
- Finish. Soothing care is applied. You can usually wear makeup and go straight back to your plans.
Allow about an hour in total, including consultation. A full face with neck takes a little longer than the face alone.
Who is Titanium Lifting best for?
Usually a good fit
- Mild laxity, dull skin or a slightly soft jawline
- People who want an instant refresh before an event
- Visitors who need zero downtime
- Anyone looking to add a lift to other skin treatments
Talk to the doctor first
- Moderate to heavy sagging that needs a deeper lifting device
- Recent tanning or sunburn
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infection, open wounds or a history of laser-related pigmentation
Titanium Lifting vs Ulthera Prime: what is the difference in price and effect?
Titanium and Ulthera are often compared, but they work quite differently. Ulthera Prime uses focused ultrasound to reach the deeper SMAS layer, giving a more structural lift that develops over two to three months and often lasts about a year. At Dernia, Ulthera Prime starts from ₩390,000 for 100 lines, with a full face at ₩1,390,000 for 400 lines. Titanium works more in the skin layers, gives a quicker visible refresh and lasts three to six months.
Some people combine them: Ulthera for deeper lift, Titanium for an immediate skin-tightening finish. Compare them in Titanium Lifting vs Ulthera Prime, or read Korean lifting treatments explained.
Is Titanium Lifting safe? Side effects and risks
Titanium Lifting is generally well tolerated. Most people have only mild warmth and redness that fades within a few hours.
- Common and temporary: redness, warmth, mild swelling.
- Less common: sensitivity or dryness for a few days.
- Rare: burns or post-inflammatory pigmentation, more likely on tanned skin or if energy is set too high. A doctor's assessment and careful settings reduce these risks.
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily after treatment and avoid saunas or intense exercise for a day.
How to budget for Titanium Lifting
Because results usually last three to six months, Titanium is often repeated two to four times a year, or used as a top-up between longer-lasting treatments. For visitors who only come to Seoul once a year, a doctor may suggest combining Titanium with a deeper lifting device for longer-lasting results. Remember to add 10% VAT: the tourist VAT refund on cosmetic procedures ended on January 1, 2026. See our VAT refund guide.
