V-RO Advance
Combination lifting that plans ultrasound and RF in one device

It is a combination lifting treatment that can use high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) in a single device. HIFU targets the deep fascial layer, and RF targets firmness in the dermis. When sagging and reduced firmness coexist, the two energies are planned separately by area.

The two energies are delivered through separate handpieces, and their proportion is set according to the depth each area needs. Areas that need more deep-layer lifting get a higher proportion of HIFU, and areas that need more firmness and tightening get a higher proportion of RF. The allocation is decided after checking skin thickness and where the sagging is located at consultation.

They are two delivery modes for distributing shots across the skin. They are used to define the areas where energy should be concentrated and to distribute shots without gaps. When treating narrow, curved areas precisely, the mode suited to the area is also selected.

We consider it for those who have both cheek and jawline sagging and reduced skin firmness and want to address several layers together. However, in some skin RF tends to stay at the surface and is hard to deliver deeply, in which case a different approach such as XERF may be a better fit. It is not recommended if you have an implanted electronic medical device, have metal implants, infection, or wounds in the treatment area, or are pregnant.

Because energy reaches deep layers, there tends to be a noticeable sensation and heat, and how much you feel differs by individual. If you are sensitive to pain, we decide the anesthesia method together at consultation and consider sedation if needed. A board-certified dermatologist adjusts the intensity while watching your response.

Treatment time varies with the area and shot configuration, so we advise you after consultation. You can return to daily life right after treatment, and temporary swelling, tingling, or redness may occur.

Results appear gradually over several months as collagen forms, and change often becomes gradually clearer at around 2-3 months. How long results last depends on skin condition and lifestyle and is advised after consultation, and the degree of change varies by individual.

Intervals are planned individually after consultation. Skin that has received high energy needs time to recover, and narrowing the interval excessively makes results hard to expect and can cause adverse reactions. We check the progress from the previous treatment before deciding the next timing.

The energy configuration differs. Ultherapy PRIME is a focused ultrasound (HIFU) device and Thermage FLX a monopolar RF device, while V-RO Advance uses both energies through separate handpieces in one device. Allocating energy to suit the area and depth matters more than which device is used, so we advise a suitable combination after consultation.

Yes, depending on skin condition and the treatment depth needed, they are sometimes planned together. This approach combines RF devices such as XERF or Oligio with V-RO Advance's ultrasound, varying the energy proportion by area. The combination and order are decided after consultation.

For a few days after treatment, avoid strong heat such as saunas, jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), and heavy drinking, and moisturize well. While collagen regenerates, we recommend using sunscreen of SPF30 or higher every day. If swelling or tingling persists, please contact the clinic.

The cost depends on the area and shot configuration, so it is confirmed after consultation. Reference prices can be found on the price list on our website. Booking is available via Naver Booking, our KakaoTalk channel, or phone (+82-51-710-1891), and consultations are also available via LINE.
