Alltite Lifting: From Its Principles to Its Effects | Why a Customized Treatment Approach Matters

1. What Is Alltite Lifting?

Alltite Lifting is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses DLTD technology to deliver thermal energy to the dermal layer as well as the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System), a deeper tissue layer beneath the skin.

DLTD stands for Dermis Layer Target Dielectric Heating. It uses the principle of dielectric heating to deliver thermal energy to targeted tissues beneath the skin. The treatment is designed to help improve skin firmness and facial contours.

Simply put, Alltite does more than treat the surface of the skin. It delivers thermal energy to deeper tissues that play an important role in supporting skin elasticity and facial contours.

As thermal energy is delivered to the skin tissue, it can promote the contraction and remodeling of collagen fibers, potentially leading to improvements such as:

• Improved dermal firmness and elasticity

• Improved skin texture

• Enhanced facial contours

However, the timing and degree of visible improvement may vary depending on factors such as skin thickness, the degree of skin laxity, facial fat volume, and the treatment area.

2. What Are the Key Features of Alltite Lifting?

The key features of Alltite Lifting can be summarized into three main points:

• It delivers thermal energy to the dermal and SMAS layers.

• It incorporates a cooling system designed to protect the skin surface.

• It allows for customized treatment planning by area, based on skin thickness and fat volume.

1. Delivers Thermal Energy to the Dermal and SMAS Layers

Facial firmness is not determined by the condition of the skin surface alone. For facial contours to be effectively improved, the supporting structures beneath the skin—including collagen in the dermis, retaining ligaments, and the SMAS layer—also need to maintain their structural support.

Alltite uses the principle of dielectric heating to deliver thermal energy to the dermis and deeper fascial layers beneath the skin. By inducing a controlled thermal response within the tissue, the treatment is designed to help improve skin firmness and facial contours.

2. Incorporates a Cooling System to Protect the Skin Surface

In energy-based treatments, it is important not only to deliver energy to the intended depth, but also to manage the temperature of the skin surface in a stable and controlled manner.

Alltite incorporates a cooling system designed to help minimize excessive heat buildup at the skin surface. This approach may help protect the epidermal surface during treatment and reduce treatment discomfort, particularly for patients who are sensitive to pain.

However, pain tolerance varies from person to person. Areas with thinner skin or areas located close to the bone may still feel warm, tingling, or mildly prickling during treatment.

3. Customized Treatment Is Possible with Two Handpiece Types

Skin thickness and fat volume vary across different areas of the face.

For example, the cheeks tend to contain relatively more fat, while the skin around the eyes and mouth is generally thinner. When treating the jawline and double chin, both fat distribution and the direction of tissue laxity should be taken into consideration.

Alltite offers two handpiece types, D Type and E Type, allowing treatment to be customized according to each patient’s skin thickness, fat distribution, and degree of sagging.

• D Type: Designed to refine facial contours and improve concerns ranging from fine lines around the eyes to sagging cheeks and marionette lines.

• E Type: Designed to support V-line lifting and improved firmness, helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles and a double chin.

3. Who Is Alltite Lifting Suitable For?

If you are concerned about sagging in the cheeks and jawline, reduced skin elasticity, and also feel hesitant about lifting treatments due to discomfort or pain, Alltite Lifting may be considered after consultation with a qualified medical professional.

Alltite Lifting May Be Recommended For Those Who:

• Notice that the cheeks and jawline appear more saggy than before

• Are concerned about less-defined facial contours or a double chin

• Want to improve both skin firmness and overall skin texture

• Have thin skin and have been cautious about choosing a lifting treatment

• Have hesitated to undergo lifting procedures due to concerns about pain or discomfort

4. What Are the Benefits of Alltite Lifting?

Alltite Lifting is designed to help improve skin firmness, the jawline and facial contours, fine lines, and overall skin texture through a controlled thermal response within the skin.

Rather than producing an immediate dramatic change, the effects may appear gradually as the skin recovers and collagen remodeling takes place.

Expected Improvements

① Improved Skin Firmness

When Alltite’s thermal energy is delivered to the tissues beneath the skin, it can promote collagen fiber contraction and new collagen formation.

As a result, the skin may gradually feel firmer, smoother, and more resilient than before.

② More Defined Jawline and Facial Contours

As skin firmness around the cheeks and jawline improves, previously less-defined facial contours may appear more refined and structured.

③ Improvement in Fine Lines and Skin Texture

As overall skin elasticity improves, superficial fine lines and uneven skin texture may also appear smoother.

However, deep-set wrinkles or dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement may not be sufficiently improved with a lifting treatment alone.

④ Gradual, Natural-Looking Changes

Thermal energy-based treatments may create a feeling of skin tightness immediately after the procedure, but the process of collagen remodeling requires time.

Therefore, rather than creating a dramatic change immediately after treatment, improvements in skin firmness and facial contours may appear gradually during the recovery and collagen remodeling process.

5. Aftercare Precautions Following Alltite Treatment

After treatment, it is important to avoid activities that may excessively raise skin temperature or irritate the treated area. Keeping the skin well moisturized and protected from UV exposure is also recommended.

Temporary warmth or redness may occur after treatment. Please follow the aftercare guidelines below:

• Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area vigorously.

• Avoid hot saunas and steam rooms for a certain period after treatment.

• Refrain from strenuous exercise and excessive alcohol consumption.

• Apply moisturizer generously to help protect the skin barrier.

• Use sunscreen thoroughly whenever going outdoors.

• Temporarily avoid irritating skincare treatments such as scrubs and chemical peels.

• Avoid exposing the treated area to excessively hot or cold temperatures.

Alltite Lifting for Facial Sagging: Why Customized Treatment Planning Based on Skin Condition Matters — Column by Dr. Junhyuk Seo:
Energy settings and treatment areas should be adjusted according to each patient’s facial contours and skin condition. Even when the same device is used, treatment outcomes and post-procedure responses may vary depending on the physician’s assessment and treatment design. Therefore, a thorough consultation and individualized treatment plan are important.
