V-RO delivers 2 energies at once, HIFU plus RF, through a single pen-type handpiece to tighten skin across multiple depths in one session.
V-RO lifting is a non-surgical Korean device that fires HIFU and RF together through one pen-type handpiece, tightening skin at multiple depths in a single visit. At our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location near ICN, Dr. Sunbeen Kim tailors the plan to your laxity, making it convenient for transit and stopover patients.

V-RO lifting is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment built around the Korean Hironic V-RO device, which combines two energy types in one pen-type handpiece: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF). Rather than choosing between an ultrasound lift and an RF lift, V-RO delivers both together, so a single session can address collagen at more than one skin depth. It is designed for people who want firmer, lifted skin without incisions, anaesthesia, or the recovery of a surgical facelift.
The appeal of a dual-energy approach is coverage. HIFU focuses acoustic energy into deeper support layers, while RF heats the dermis more broadly. Because these two mechanisms act on different tissue depths, combining them in one handpiece is intended to stimulate the skin’s own collagen renewal across a wider zone than a single-energy device alone. Results build gradually as new collagen forms over the following weeks.
At Reberry Clinic, V-RO lifting is consultation-led. At our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location near ICN, Dr. Sunbeen Kim, Medical Director, assesses your skin laxity, facial anatomy, and goals, then sets the energy levels and passes accordingly. English-speaking support and the near-airport setting make it practical for international patients travelling through Korea.
V-RO lifting works because it pairs two complementary energies rather than relying on one. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) concentrates acoustic energy into precise focal points in the deeper support layers of the face, creating tiny thermal coagulation zones that trigger a collagen-remodelling response. Radiofrequency (RF) works differently: it passes electromagnetic energy through the tissue so the dermis heats broadly and evenly, contracting existing collagen and prompting new collagen and elastin to form as the skin repairs. Because HIFU reaches deep while RF spreads heat across the mid layers, delivering both through the single Hironic V-RO pen-type handpiece is intended to tighten a wider range of depths in one pass. This is a collagen-stimulation treatment, so the visible change is progressive: the treated skin gradually firms over roughly 8 to 12 weeks as the remodelling response matures. It is important not to cross-attribute the energies, V-RO is specifically HIFU and RF combined, not a laser or a filler.

The Medical Director grades your skin laxity and maps the treatment zones, setting HIFU and RF parameters across the 2 energies for your anatomy.
The skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for about 20 to 30 minutes so the session stays comfortable.
The pen-type handpiece delivers focused ultrasound into deeper support layers, creating micro-thermal points that kick-start collagen at 1 depth range.
RF energy heats the dermis more broadly, contracting existing collagen and adding a 2nd layer of stimulation across the mid skin.
A full-face session typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, after which the skin is soothed and you can usually return to normal activities the same day.
Over the next 8 to 12 weeks your skin firms progressively as new collagen and elastin form in response to both energies.

At our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location, Dr. Sunbeen Kim, Medical Director, assesses your laxity in English and confirms whether V-RO suits your goals.
After numbing for about 20 to 30 minutes, the session itself usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated.
Most people complete 1 treatment per cycle, though some choose a repeat session a few months later for further firming.
You may notice mild tightening early, but the main lift builds gradually over roughly 8 to 12 weeks as collagen renews.
Results often last around a year, varying by skin. Sun protection, hydration, and healthy skincare help sustain the improvement between sessions.
V-RO lifting is a non-surgical treatment using the Korean Hironic V-RO device, which fires two energies, HIFU and RF, through one pen-type handpiece to tighten skin at multiple depths. It stimulates your own collagen, so firming builds gradually. You can explore it on our face lift page.
V-RO combines HIFU and RF in one handpiece, whereas most devices use only one energy. HIFU reaches deeper support layers while RF heats the dermis more broadly, so pairing them in one session is designed to tighten a wider range of skin depths than a single-energy device delivers alone.
Most people describe V-RO as mild to moderate, with brief warmth or focused pulses during the ultrasound passes. A topical numbing cream is applied for about 20 to 30 minutes beforehand to keep you comfortable. The Medical Director adjusts energy levels to balance comfort with an effective result.
Downtime is usually minimal, so many patients return to normal activities the same day. Some temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness can occur for a few hours to a day. This makes V-RO convenient for travellers using our face lift options near the airport.
You may notice slight tightening within days, but the main lift develops gradually over roughly 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms. Because V-RO is a collagen-stimulation treatment rather than a filler, results appear progressively and continue improving over the following weeks.
Results often last around a year, though this varies with your skin, age, and lifestyle. V-RO is not a one-time fix, so many patients schedule a maintenance session periodically. Sun protection and good skincare help the firming you gain last longer between treatments.
Most people have 1 session per cycle, and many see a satisfying change from a single visit. Depending on your degree of laxity and goals, the Medical Director may suggest a repeat session a few months later to build further firmness. Your plan is confirmed at consultation.
Yes, V-RO is often combined with skin boosters or other lifting devices for a fuller result, with timing planned to protect your skin. For example, energy lifting can pair with hydration or texture treatments. Discuss options like Thermage FLX at your consultation.
V-RO is mainly used on the face for the jawline, cheeks, and overall facial laxity, and can help soften the transition along the lower face. The dual HIFU and RF energies suit areas that benefit from tightening at more than one depth. Your treatment map is set during assessment.
V-RO combines HIFU and RF in one handpiece for multi-depth tightening, while Ultherapy Prime uses micro-focused ultrasound with imaging to target the deeper SMAS layer specifically. Both are non-surgical; the right choice depends on your laxity pattern and goals, which the Medical Director assesses.
Adults with mild to moderate facial or jawline laxity who want a non-surgical lift are typically good candidates. Very advanced sagging may respond better to surgical options, which the Medical Director will explain honestly. A consultation confirms whether V-RO or another approach best fits your skin.
V-RO is generally well tolerated, with temporary redness, mild swelling, tenderness, or occasional tingling that usually settles within hours to a day. Because RF is used, it is avoided over metal implants or pacemakers in the area. Your suitability and any precautions are reviewed before treatment.
Aftercare is simple: keep the skin hydrated, avoid intense heat like saunas for a day or two, and use daily sunscreen to protect renewing collagen. Gentle skincare supports results. A supportive skin care routine helps you maintain the firmness you gain over the weeks ahead.
V-RO’s HIFU and RF energies are generally considered suitable across a range of skin tones because they work below the surface rather than targeting pigment. The Medical Director still adjusts settings to your skin and reviews your history first. A consultation confirms the safest parameters for your individual skin.
V-RO lifting is available at our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location near ICN, led by Dr. Sunbeen Kim, Medical Director, with English-speaking support. Its position close to the airport makes it practical for transit and stopover patients. You can also ask about our Gangnam and Myeongdong locations in Seoul.
For V-RO, a single day is often enough since it includes a consultation and one session with minimal downtime. Many travellers fit it into a stopover at our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location near ICN. If you want a review or combined treatments, allow 2 to 3 days for comfort.
Yes, flying within a day of V-RO is generally fine because it is non-invasive with minimal downtime, which suits our near-airport setting. Cabin air is drying, so moisturise and protect treated skin from sun. If you had strong settings, the Medical Director will advise on any specific precautions for travel.
International patients can complete V-RO in one visit and stay in touch through remote check-ins in English between trips, so progress is reviewed as collagen builds. Your treatment notes are kept on file for continuity. Supportive at-home skin care helps maintain results until any repeat session.
