This is a guide to REVINAS DCT compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
When you feel that your cheeks are sagging, your jawline is blurred, and your impression has changed, Revinas, which targets the fascia, and ultrasound lifting, which targets deeper layers, are often discussed together. We compared how the two methods differ.
Signs of declining elasticity
When the support of collagen and elastin weakens, the skin can sag, and repeated facial expressions can easily deepen wrinkles in specific areas. The skin may also lose elasticity due to dryness.
Differences between the two methods
| Category | Revinas | Ultrasound Lifting |
|---|---|---|
| Focus of action | Deep fascia and lymphatic circulation | Thermal coagulation points in the fascial layer |
| Additional areas addressed | Swelling, stiff muscles | Collagen regeneration |
| Features | Almost no downtime | Cartridge application by depth |
Areas addressed by Revinas
Revinas addresses sagging areas by targeting the deep fascia, which can be thought of as the skin's support structure. It helps unblock lymphatic circulation, which can improve dull complexion and swelling, and relaxes stiff facial muscles to help expressions become more natural. Since there is almost no downtime, it is less burdensome to incorporate into daily life.
Its characteristic feature is that it not only addresses elasticity but also lymphatic circulation and muscles.
Areas addressed by ultrasound lifting
Ultrasound lifting uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to focus energy on the fascial layer, creating thermal coagulation points. This process regenerates collagen and contracts loosened tissue. It can reach depths of 1.5mm to 4.5mm, which general lasers cannot reach.
- Different depths for the upper and lower dermis and fibrous fascial layer
- Different cartridges and energy applied depending on the depth
- Customized settings for each area

Why consider both
Revinas targets fascia and circulation, while ultrasound lifting targets collagen in the deep layers, so they address different areas. It is important to determine which method is right for your condition through a diagnosis.
Why consultation comes first
For areas that affect your impression, such as the jowls, it is better to address them before they sag excessively. If you desire a natural refinement, receiving a diagnosis from an experienced clinic is key.
Revinas and ultrasound lifting are methods that address different areas. If you are concerned about sagging and changes in your impression, we recommend getting a diagnosis first to find the method that is right for you.
