When consulting about Titanium in the examination room, I first address three questions that precede the procedure name itself.
- Is this procedure suitable for my current skin condition?
- Is the pain tolerable?
- How long do the effects last?
It is a clear advantage that it is a non-surgical Lifting & Tightening that manages loss of elasticity and changes in facial lines without incision.
However, even with the same procedure, the results vary from person to person.
I have summarized three frequently asked questions at O.N Clinic near Sinnonhyeon from the perspective of the examination room.
Please take just one minute to read this.
'This' to look at before the procedure name
Titanium is a non-surgical Lifting & Tightening that can be considered for concerns about decreased skin elasticity and a disrupted facial line.
Many people become interested when their jawline appears less defined than before, their cheeks begin to sag, or their overall contour feels like it's collapsing.
The biggest feature is that it is performed without incision.
It is an option that can be considered after consultation for those who are hesitant about surgical Lifting & Tightening, or for office workers who find it difficult to take a long recovery period.
However, what I always emphasize in the examination room is not to decide based solely on the procedure name.
Even with the same Titanium, the design differs for people with thin skin and those with a lot of fat. If sagging is severe or there is excessively little fat, it may be difficult to expect the desired change with a single procedure alone.
Therefore, before making a decision, the process of comprehensively reviewing the following factors comes first.
- Skin thickness and degree of elasticity loss
- Facial shape and fat distribution
- History of previous Lifting & Tightening procedures
- Usual sensitivity to heat or pain
At O.N Clinic, we use the measurement results from the AI skin analyzer Muse as a reference for consultation to meticulously examine the skin condition and areas of concern, then guide you in a direction suitable for your individual condition.
If you are curious about the criteria for choosing Lifting & Tightening equipment, we recommend referring to the article explaining why depth is considered before shot count.
The cases where Titanium is well-suited and where a cautious approach is needed are summarized in the table below.
| Category | Condition |
|---|---|
| Cases to consider | Blurred jawline, early cheek sagging, preference for non-surgical methods, desire for short recovery |
| Cases requiring caution | Significant sagging, large amount of fat, excessively little fat on the face |
How much pain during the procedure?
The most common concern when considering Titanium is pain.
During the procedure, you may feel a warm sensation, slight stinging, and a pulling sensation, and the intensity can vary from person to person.
In particular, discomfort may be felt more strongly in the following cases:
- Individuals with thin skin
- Individuals sensitive to heat
- Individuals receiving treatment on areas where bone is close, such as the cheekbones or jawline
- Individuals who experienced significant pain during previous Lifting & Tightening procedures
If you have such a history, it is advisable to discuss it thoroughly during the consultation.
After the procedure, temporary redness, warmth, pulling, and slight swelling may appear, depending on the individual.
(※ In most cases, these naturally subside over time, but there may be differences depending on skin condition and procedure intensity.)
In summary, the key to reducing pain is prior communication.
If you inform us in advance about your usual skin sensitivity and previous procedure experiences, we can adjust the intensity or area accordingly.

How long do the effects last?
The duration of maintenance varies from person to person.
Even with the same procedure, the results appear differently, and several factors interact in this regard.
- Skin elasticity and degree of aging
- Lifestyle and treated area
- Procedure intensity and frequency
- Post-procedure care
Generally, some individuals may experience changes in elasticity for a certain period after a single procedure, but there may be differences in post-procedure changes or maintenance duration between those with good elasticity and those with significant sagging.
(※ The same maintenance period is not guaranteed for everyone.)
Here, I recommend changing your perspective.
Lifting & Tightening is not a procedure that creates permanent changes with a single treatment, but rather a concept of periodic management tailored to your skin condition.
It is advisable to determine the appropriate procedure cycle and management direction through consultation.
The discussion on how the approach differs depending on whether sagging or elasticity is the primary concern is covered in more detail in the criteria for choosing Lifting & Tightening in the examination room.
Before the procedure, be sure to check 'this'
Before deciding on Titanium, it is necessary to first review whether it is actually suitable for your skin, rather than just checking its advantages.
This is because the appropriate direction varies depending on skin thickness, degree of elasticity loss, facial shape, fat amount, and history of previous procedures.
All procedures may cause temporary reactions such as redness, warmth, swelling, and pulling, and rarely, unexpected discomfort may occur.
Therefore, it is important to consult sufficiently with the medical staff before the procedure and to specifically discuss your skin condition and desired changes.
At O.N Clinic, we objectively assess your skin condition with Muse and then guide the consultation direction.
In addition to Titanium, other Lifting & Tightening methods or complex care may be more suitable depending on your skin condition, so we recommend keeping your options open during consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can consider this procedure? Individuals who have a blurred jawline, early cheek sagging, decreased elasticity, or wish to manage their facial lines without Surgery may consider it.
However, if sagging is severe or there is a large amount of fat, it may be difficult to expect the desired change with a single procedure alone, so a prior consultation is necessary.
Is the pain severe? During the procedure, you may feel warmth, stinging, and a pulling sensation, and the degree varies from person to person.
If you have thin skin, are sensitive to heat, or are receiving treatment on areas where bone is close, such as the cheekbones and jawline, you may experience greater discomfort, so please inform us in advance during the consultation.
Can I return to daily life immediately after the procedure? It is known that as a non-surgical method, the burden of recovery is relatively low.
Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, and pulling may appear, but in most cases, they subside over time.
Since there are individual differences, it is advisable to confirm post-procedure precautions with the medical staff.
What should I confirm during the consultation? Please fully communicate your skin thickness, degree of elasticity loss, facial shape, fat amount, and history of previous procedures.
Also, informing us in advance about your usual sensitivity and concerns about pain will help in adjusting the intensity and area.
If you are curious why different devices like Oligio Kiss and Onda are recommended differently, you can also refer to the reasons why these two procedures are recommended differently.
If you are curious about the right direction for your skin, please feel free to inquire.
Consult via chatRecovery and Downtime
Titanium is a non-surgical Lifting & Tightening that manages elasticity with thermal energy without incision, so after the procedure, redness, warmth, slight pulling, or mild swelling may appear, and usually subside within a few days.
However, there are individual differences, and for those with thin skin or sensitivity to heat, the reaction may persist a little longer.
As it is a non-surgical method, it is known that returning to daily life is relatively easy from the day of the procedure, but it varies depending on the treated area and intensity, so please confirm post-procedure precautions with the medical staff.
How is the cost structured?
It is difficult to state a single fixed cost for Titanium.
The composition varies depending on the skin condition confirmed by Muse measurements, the scope and area of the procedure (entire face, jawline, cheeks, etc.), the intensity and number of procedures, and whether post-procedure care is included.
There is also a difference depending on whether it is a standalone procedure or a complex management combined with other Lifting & Tightening procedures.
The exact cost will be provided after confirming your skin condition through consultation.
