Velluti is a non-invasive treatment using a laser and a diamond-particle patch; changes appear gradually, and the degree and duration vary by individual. Protruding fat or severe sagging may require other treatment, and suitability and the number of sessions are decided after examination.

02What to expect
Changes over time
When the laser is directed at the patch placed on the skin, the patch generates a laser-induced shock wave (LISW), and this fine physical stimulus is transmitted to the dermis to induce collagen regeneration.
03Device & Technology
Velluti Device

Diamond-particle patch
A dedicated patch that receives laser energy and converts it into a shock wave. Treatment is performed with it placed on the skin.
Laser-induced shock wave (LISW)
Delivers a short pressure wave to the skin instead of heat, drawing out a regenerative response in the dermis.
Non-invasive
Performed on the skin surface without needles or incisions, so the recovery burden tends to be low.
04Procedure
How your visit goes
Every procedure is performed directly by a board-certified dermatologist.

06FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kind of treatment is Velluti?
It is a non-invasive lifting treatment that uses a laser together with a dedicated diamond-particle patch. When the laser is directed at the patch, a shock wave is generated, and this stimulus is transmitted to the dermis to drive collagen regeneration. No needles are used and the skin is not cut.
What is a laser-induced shock wave (LISW)?
It is a pressure wave produced for a very brief moment when laser energy is absorbed by a particular material. In Velluti, the diamond-particle patch plays this role, so instead of the laser building up heat directly in the skin, the shock wave created at the patch is transmitted to the skin.
How is it different from radiofrequency lifting such as Thermage or XERF?
Radiofrequency lifting uses heat to contract collagen and drive regeneration, while Velluti centres on a physical stimulus — the shock wave. Rather than one being better, they serve different purposes. We decide after examination, for example considering Velluti for heat-sensitive areas with thin skin such as under the eyes, and radiofrequency for firmness over wider areas.
Which areas can be treated?
It is mainly considered for fine lines and firmness care in thin, sensitive areas such as under the eyes. Whether it can be applied to other areas is decided after examination, based on the cause of sagging and your skin condition.
Does it hurt, or do I need numbing?
You feel a light snapping sensation, and it is mostly performed without numbing. If you are sensitive to pain, we can proceed after applying topical numbing cream. How much you feel depends on the area and the individual.
Can I return to daily life right after treatment?
In most cases, you can return to daily life the same day. The treated area may be temporarily red or slightly swollen, and bruising may rarely occur. These usually settle within a few days.
When does the effect appear, and how many sessions do I need?
Because collagen regeneration takes time, changes tend to appear gradually over several weeks. Several sessions may be needed to reach the result you want, and the number of sessions and intervals are decided based on your response to the first treatment. The degree of change and how long it lasts vary by individual.
Are there cases where Velluti is not suitable?
If there is an infection or wound in the treatment area, if you have recently had strong sun exposure, if you are taking photosensitising medication, or if you are pregnant, we postpone or adjust the treatment. If you have recently had surgery or a procedure around the eyes, please be sure to tell us during your consultation.
How much does Velluti cost, and how do I book?
The cost varies with the area, number of shots and number of sessions, so it is confirmed after examination. Non-covered treatment fees can be found on the pricing page of our website. Booking and consultations are available via Naver Booking, our KakaoTalk channel, or phone (+82-51-710-1891), and you can also consult with us via LINE.
