Overview
What are the four pillars of anti-aging care at Celliting?
Celliting's anti-aging menu falls into four groups, and each one works on a different part of the aging process. Most patients need one or two of them, not all four.
1. Lifting devices
Ultherapy PRIME (micro-focused ultrasound), Thermage FLX (monopolar radiofrequency), Sofwave, XERF, Olla Wave and Fortra heat deeper tissue to tighten and lift without incisions. The One-Day Combined Face Lifting brings four of them together in one visit.
2. Regenerative care
Autologous, blood-derived stem cell programs (Miracell and NovaStem), exosome treatments and the Zero-age Cell Rejuvenation Program aim to support the skin's own repair. Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare designated Celliting an Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institution on June 15, 2026.
3. Collagen stimulators and skin boosters
Sculptra encourages your own collagen gradually over months, while skin boosters, fine injections that improve hydration and texture, work on skin quality. Celliting presents itself as The Original Sculptra Training Center.
4. Inside-out care
IV therapy such as NAD+, glutathione and vitamin drips, together with health checks and blood tests, looks at energy, recovery and general wellbeing alongside the face.
Find your starting point
Which pillar matches your main concern?
Start with the change that bothers you most. The table links each common concern to the pillar usually discussed first and the page that explains it in more detail.
| Your concern | Pillar usually discussed | Page to read |
|---|---|---|
| Sagging jawline or jowls | Lifting devices | Non-surgical face lifting |
| Dull, tired or thinning skin | Regenerative care | Stem cell anti-aging |
| Hollow cheeks, slow volume loss | Collagen stimulators | Collagen-stimulating options |
| Rough texture, uneven glow | Regenerative care (exosome) | Exosome facials |
| Fatigue, jet lag, low energy | Inside-out care | NAD+ therapy |
| Not sure what you need | Decided at assessment | Facial rejuvenation by layer |
The table is a starting point only; the doctor confirms suitability after examining your skin and reviewing your medical history.
Planning by trip
How does the length of your trip change the plan?
Your time in Seoul often matters as much as the concern itself, because some treatments are single visits and others work best as a series spread over months.
| Time in Seoul | What usually fits | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 days | One lifting device session, a skin booster or an IV drip | Book the consultation for your first day |
| 4 to 7 days | Combined lifting plus a regenerative or booster session | Leave a quiet day before flying |
| Repeat visits | Sculptra series or staged regenerative programs | Collagen builds slowly; plan around return trips |
If you only have a weekend, say so when you first get in touch. The doctor can then suggest what is realistic now and what is better saved for a later visit.
Combining care
Can different pillars be combined in one plan?
Yes, many plans combine pillars because they act on different layers: a lifting device works on deeper support tissue, while a skin booster or exosome treatment works on surface quality. Combining is never automatic. The doctor weighs your skin's tolerance, the order of treatments, recovery time and whether a simpler plan would serve you just as well.
Both medical directors, Dr. Ho-chan Kim and Dr. Young-mi Rhee, personally carry out consultation and treatment, so the person who designs your combination is the same person who performs it.
Is it right for you?
Is a four-pillar consultation right for you?
Often a good fit
- You notice more than one change, for example laxity plus dull skin
- You want a doctor to rank your options instead of picking from a menu
- You are visiting Seoul and need a plan that fits fixed dates
- You prefer non-surgical, gradual approaches
Talk to your doctor first
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area
- Recent fillers, threads or surgery on the face
- Blood-thinning medication or a bleeding disorder
Suitability is a medical decision made by your doctor after an in-person consultation and review of your health history.

For international patients
Fitting anti-aging care into a Seoul trip
Book your consultation early in your stay so there is room to adjust the plan. Lifting devices and IV drips usually suit short trips, while collagen stimulators and some regenerative programs work better as repeat visits. Mild redness or swelling can follow some treatments, so keep the last day before your flight light. The clinic is about a 4-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 12, stays open until 21:00 on Fridays, and supports English, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese.

FAQ
Anti-Aging: your questions, answered
Reviewed by Dr. Ho-chan Kim, MD, PhD · Updated October 2026
Where should I start if I have several signs of aging?
Start with the concern that bothers you most and let the doctor rank the rest. Laxity, skin quality and volume often respond to different pillars, so one consultation can put them in a sensible order. Many patients begin with a single pillar and add another later rather than treating everything at once.
Do I need to choose a pillar before I arrive?
No. You can describe your concerns and send photos in advance, but the final choice is made after an in-person examination. Online information helps the team prepare, yet skin thickness, laxity and medical history can only be judged properly face to face in Gangnam, Seoul.
Is regenerative care better than a lifting device?
Neither is better in general, because they do different jobs. Lifting devices mainly tighten deeper support tissue, while regenerative care aims to support skin quality and repair. Suitable patients may benefit from one, the other or both, and the doctor explains the reasoning for your own face.
How is discomfort managed across these treatments?
Pain control is matched to each procedure. Options at Celliting include topical or local anesthesia, AirNox nitrous-oxygen analgesia, the needle-free X-injector and monitored sleep sedation. The doctor suggests an option based on the treatment, the area and your own comfort preferences.
Can I start in Seoul and continue maintenance at home?
Often, yes. Some patients complete a lifting session in Seoul and continue skin care or maintenance with a local doctor at home. Celliting provides written aftercare in your language and a free 3-month follow-up, so you can ask about results or reactions after you return.
Who actually performs the treatments?
The two medical directors, Dr. Ho-chan Kim and Dr. Young-mi Rhee, both MD-PhD, personally carry out consultation and treatment. Procedures are not handed off to another practitioner, which keeps the plan consistent from the first assessment through to aftercare.
