Titanium Lifting in Gangnam: Triple Wavelengths and Sapphire Cooling

Skin firmness declining and the facial contour giving way with age is a natural part of ageing. To improve this, people come to consider lifting treatment. In the past, obtaining a lifting effect often meant accepting considerable discomfort, but with recent advances in pain control technology and methods of energy delivery, treatments that can be approached more comfortably are drawing attention.

Today we will set out how Titanium Lifting, which manages all layers of the skin with triple wavelengths, works, along with its main characteristics and the precautions worth knowing beforehand. We hope this helps those weighing up where to go in the Gangnam Station area.

How does Titanium work?

Titanium Lifting uses the Soprano Titanium device developed by Alma of Israel, adopting a method introduced as the first to emit three wavelengths — 755nm, 810nm and 1064nm — at the same time.

It can be seen as a technology that goes past the limits of earlier lifting devices, which addressed only a particular depth with a single wavelength. Thanks to the characteristics of wavelengths acting at different depths simultaneously, Titanium Lifting can manage the surface and the interior of the skin three-dimensionally.

How is discomfort reduced?

One of the main factors that makes people hesitate over lifting treatment is discomfort from heat. Titanium Lifting applies sapphire contact cooling technology to ease this. During treatment the tip of the handpiece maintains a steady temperature of −3°C or below, cooling the skin surface immediately.

Because the skin surface stays cooled while laser energy is delivered to the deeper layers, the sensation of heat and the discomfort felt are eased. Thanks to this characteristic, treatment is often carried out without separate sedation or topical anaesthetic. That said, how discomfort is felt differs from person to person.

What does each mode handle?

As the anatomical structure of the face and the areas of concern differ for everyone, lifting needs to be carried out in a tailored way. Titanium Lifting allows two modes to be selected according to the aim, which makes precise treatment possible.

The first is SHR mode. Delivering energy evenly across a wide area, it places its weight on improving firmness in the upper layers of the skin and on brightening that clears the complexion. It is used to refine fine lines across the whole face and create a smooth texture. The second is STACK mode. Accumulating energy intensively in a particular area, it is a form of lifting that projects thermal energy into areas where firmness in the deeper layers has given way, such as a double chin, deep cheek fat or nasolabial folds.

Is the return to daily life quick?

One of the factors people visiting a dermatology clinic consider most important is downtime. Titanium Lifting has the advantage that bruising or severe swelling is relatively uncommon right after treatment.

Because the cooling system protects the skin surface, redness does not last long afterwards, and the return to daily life is quick enough that washing the face and applying make-up are possible on the day of treatment. This is also why those with an important schedule ahead prefer Titanium Lifting.

What should be checked before treatment?

First, skin thickness and fat volume need to be analysed. Areas of the face with very little volume need the energy intensity lowered to prevent side effects such as cheek hollowing, while areas where fat is dense need sufficient energy for an effect to be seen. You should also check that genuine equipment is used for stable energy output, and delivering the appropriate total energy for your own skin condition matters more than simply applying as many shots as possible.

Lifting should go beyond the act of raising what has dropped and be a process of improving the overall health of the skin. Titanium Lifting lowers the threshold of discomfort and widens the range of what can be addressed, through triple wavelengths and a cooling system. As accurately understanding your own skin type and stage of ageing comes first for a satisfying result, we hope you will choose the treatment that suits you through a thorough consultation.

Healthy, resilient skin is completed not by a treatment on its own, but when accurate information is combined with consistent day-to-day care. NUWA Clinic Gangnam, where a one-to-one assessment guides a direction suited to your skin, is located directly in front of Exit 7 of Gangnam Station, on floors 3 and 4 at 385 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Frequently asked questions

Q. What is good about using Titanium’s three wavelengths at once?

A. Because the 755nm, 810nm and 1064nm wavelengths act at different depths simultaneously, it goes past the limits of a single wavelength addressing only one depth and can manage the surface and interior of the skin three-dimensionally.

Q. Is Titanium Lifting very painful?

A. Sapphire contact cooling keeps the tip at −3°C or below and cools the skin surface, so the sensation of heat and discomfort tend to be eased. It is often carried out without separate anaesthetic, but how discomfort is felt differs individually.

Q. How are SHR mode and STACK mode decided?

A. Where the aim is improving skin texture and tone and refining fine lines, the weight goes to SHR mode; where it is tidying sagging in the deeper layers, such as a double chin, deep cheek fat or nasolabial folds, it goes to STACK mode. In practice the two modes are combined and designed around your concerns.

Q. Can I return to daily life immediately after treatment?

A. The cooling system protects the surface, so bruising and severe swelling are relatively uncommon and redness does not last long. The return to daily life is quick enough that washing the face and applying make-up are possible on the day of treatment. The response differs individually, however.

Q. What is worth checking before treatment?

A. It is worth checking that energy intensity is adjusted to skin thickness and fat volume, that genuine equipment is used, and that the design uses an appropriate total energy for you rather than simply as many shots as possible.
