Titanium Lifting
Korea’s “titanium lifting” uses the Soprano Titanium diode laser to warm the skin for a fresher, tighter look — with almost no downtime.
Book a consultationWhat is titanium lifting
Titanium lifting is the Korean name for a facial treatment done with the Soprano Titanium laser by Alma. The device fires three diode wavelengths together — 755, 810 and 1064 nm — so heat is delivered at more than one depth in the same pass.
Soprano Titanium was designed as a hair-removal platform. Korean clinics developed a facial protocol that uses the same gentle, repeated heating to tighten the skin and refine contour. That use is based on clinical experience in Korea rather than on a separate approval for lifting, and we say so plainly.
Because the heat is spread out and the handpiece is cooled, it is one of the more comfortable energy treatments. People often notice a brighter, tighter look soon after, which is why it is popular before events.
Titanium lifting vs Thermage

Both use heat to tighten. They differ in how deep the heat goes and how much downtime and discomfort they bring.

Treatment Process
Where it is used
During the visit
- Your skin is examined and the concern agreed — dullness, mild looseness, contour.
- The skin is cleansed and a gel applied; no numbing is usually needed.
- The cooled handpiece is moved over each area in repeated passes, building heat gradually.
- The session usually takes well under an hour for the face.
Afterwards
- Mild redness and warmth fade within a few hours.
- Makeup and normal routines can usually resume the same day.
- Some people repeat it as a short series or for maintenance.

Before you decide
It may suit you if
It may not be the right treatment if
Titanium lifting is a gentle treatment. If your skin needs more lift than heat at this level can give, we will tell you and suggest a deeper device instead.
03
What to expect
Timing. A tighter, brighter look is often noticed soon after; the firmer change builds over the following weeks.
Degree. Subtle. It refreshes and tightens; it does not replace a deeper lifting treatment.
Duration. It varies, and many people maintain it with repeat sessions.
Risks. Redness and warmth are expected. Uncommonly, pigment changes or small burns can occur, which is why settings are adjusted to your skin and tan status.
Results differ from person to person. Nothing on this page is a prediction of your own outcome, and it does not replace a consultation. See our Medical Disclaimer.

Good before an event. Because there is little downtime, many visitors have it early in their stay or a few days before photos.
Sun protection. Avoid tanning before and after treatment. Laser and tanned skin do not mix.

That is what the consultation is for. We look at your skin and tell you which device we would use, which we would not — and whether the honest answer is a different treatment, or nothing for now.
