This is a guide to Levinas compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
Many people seek natural lifting when they feel their jawline has collapsed, making their face look larger and changing their impression. We have compiled frequently asked questions about Levinas.
Why does the jawline collapse first?
As collagen and elastin decrease due to aging and gravity, the strength supporting the cheeks and jaw muscles weakens. This leads to sagging, and the wrinkles next to the nose deepen when smiling. If managed passively at home, this area is prone to further progression.
Are the results not overdone?
Levinas is a method that naturally refines the skin texture.
- Rather than pulling up the surface, it stimulates the SMAS layer to refine the lines.
- It helps relax tense facial muscles, contributing to more natural expressions.
- It focuses on gradual changes rather than drastic alterations.
If facial muscles are not used sufficiently, they can weaken and sag, and Levinas addresses these aspects together.
Does it also address swelling?
Yes, Levinas works to expel waste products and reduce swelling through lymphatic circulation. Swelling caused by salty and spicy foods, dehydration, or stress can blur the facial contours. Levinas addresses both the restoration of lost elasticity and swelling.

Do I need to change the head?
It is a multi-mode device that does not require head replacement, making the procedure relatively simple. While there may be concerns about heat-related discomfort during lifting, the procedure is performed by naturally relaxing the area and refining it from the bottom up.
What about downtime?
There is no downtime, so you can immediately resume daily activities. While bruising or stinging may vary individually, the discomfort is generally not significant. However, since there are various reasons for changes in facial lines, it is best to proceed in the right direction after a diagnosis.
If you desire natural line changes, please inquire via consultation chat. Suitability can be confirmed through a consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun.
