Needle-free thread embedding is a type of HIFU, utilizing high-energy focused ultrasound to create and diffuse heat spots in the dermis, subcutaneous fat, and fascia layer. (Layers beneath the skin from 1.5mm to 4.5mm), achieve firming and lifting. It is a non-invasive and damage-free treatment, allowing immediate makeup application and daily activities after completion.

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

“Ultrasound is a safe energy for the human body, similar to the ultrasound used for prenatal baby checkups. HIFU focuses ultrasound energy on a specific point in the deeper skin layers using a focusing lens, allowing different depths of treatment. The energy range is small but can accumulate high intensity, heating the target to 60-70°C, causing protein denaturation to form thermal coagulation points, tightening collagen and firming facial contours.

TDT™ (Thermal Diffusion Treatment) – Thermal diffusion technology Continuously delivers energy through a pen-type probe, dispersing heat. As the number of pulses increases, the deeper skin layers gradually accumulate more heat, stimulating collagen production.

Unlike traditional thread embedding, the Ultra V Lift needle-free thread embedding technology delivers energy quickly and stably to the dermis and SMAS layer, triggering collagen regeneration to address mild to moderate facial and neck sagging.

Technological Advantages:

Technology certified by Korea KFDA, EU CE, and GMP.
Patented TDT thermal diffusion technology, concentrating ultrasound on the skin surface to transmit high energy to the fascia layer.
No pain compared to traditional HIFU treatments, a comfortable procedure with non-invasive lifting, achieving tightening, wrinkle reduction, and lifting effects without damaging the epidermis.
“Three cylindrical pen-shaped treatment heads precisely reach 4.5mm, 3.0mm, and 1.5mm beneath the skin, with the 1.5mm head specifically targeting delicate areas
Pen-type probe has a smaller surface area, allowing precise contouring and targeting delicate areas such as under-eye, eyebrows, and nasolabial folds, providing more concentrated and deeper improvement to the eye shape.
Short treatment duration, completed in 20 to 30 minutes, with high energy output and effective heat diffusion
After treatment, the skin usually appears slightly red, but makeup can be applied immediately. The improvement continues for 1-9 months

One treatment can last for 1-3 years (dependin on the individual)

Three treatment heads specially designed for different areas:

1.5mm – Targets the dermis layer, enhancing collagen production and skin elasticity.
3.0mm – Works on the boundary between the dermis and subcutaneous fat, tightening deeper skin layers and reducing fat.
4.5mm – Focuses on the SMAS fascia layer, improving skin support and lifting the entire facial contour.

Liftera V Treatment Area:

Eyes – Improve fine lines and under-eye bags, with an added brow-lifting effect. Body– Address age-related changes, restoring smoothness to swollen areas. Face – Enhance V-shape, reduce nasolabial folds, tighten the chin, smooth wrinkles, and restore firm, radiant skin, improving facial sagging.

Liftera V Treatment Procedure:

Treatment procedure typically uses three different heads, each targeting different layers. The treatment head operates at 10Hz (10 energy pulses per second). If moved too slowly, pain sensation increases. It is recommended to use 5-7Hz, while experienced practitioners may use higher speeds.

Start with 4.5mm fascia layer tightening, which can only be applied below the cheekbones. It is recommended to perform 4 passes evenly and strengthen key areas such as nasolabial folds and excess fat above the jawbone with an additional 4 passes. If the double chin is severe, 8 passes can be used to enhance the effect. The treatment typically uses 750 shots per half-face, though the number varies depending on face size—550 to 950 shots is normal. For slimmer face shapes, fewer shots may be used. During the 4.5mm treatment, mild stinging and discomfort may be felt for about 5-10 minutes. If the pain is too strong, the therapist can lower the energy level, especially near bones or areas with thin skin. Some people may experience localized muscle numbness, soreness, or weakness, which varies by individual. Most people will lose any numb sensation by the end of the session or within 1-2 hours after, but for some, it may persist for days or even weeks.

Next, the 3.0mm probe is used to target the lower dermis and subcutaneous fat, stimulating collagen production and providing a fat-reducing effect. Skin tightening does not show immediate results and typically takes about a month to become noticeable. This 3.0mm probe can be used across the entire face, with a recommended average of 4 passes. The 3.0mm treatment for half of the face generally involves around 750 shots. During the 5-10 minute procedure, there is a slight tingling sensation, with only a slight heat. The highest energy level of 2J is commonly used, and very few people require a reduction in energy.

Lastly, the 1.5mm probe targets the dermis layer, tightening and lifting while improving skin texture. It is recommended to use this 1.5mm probe evenly across the entire face with 2 passes, while the forehead and areas not treated with the 4.5mm probe can receive 4 passes. The 1.5mm treatment for half of the face typically involves around 500 shots. During the 5-10 minute procedure, the sensation is minimal, slightly more noticeable than the 3.0mm probe but still very tolerable.

Overall, the full treatment typically involves 4000 to 5000 shots, completed within 15 to 30 minutes. The number of shots is adjusted based on individual skin condition and contour needs. No anesthesia or medication is required, and there is no severe discomfort during the procedure. Patients may experience mild heat, tightness, or numbness, with temporary redness that fades within a few hours to a few days.

Liftera V User Experience:

– Many companies do not use energy levels of 1J or above, but Liftera V is considered very safe. Based on experience, many clients undergo treatment with all probes set at 2J, and there are no significant side effects—on the contrary, the results are excellent. It is recommended to use higher energy levels as long as the client can tolerate the sensation. However, the 1.5mm probe should not exceed 1.5J, as its energy penetrates more superficially, making it relatively riskier.

-Since this is a highly effective device, it is crucial to apply energy to the appropriate areas. Some facial regions, such as the temples, tend to lose fat with age and are not ideal for needle-free thread embedding. The number of shots should be concentrated on areas with fat accumulation, such as excess tissue above the jawbone and nasolabial folds.

– Liftera V is highly effective in addressing fat accumulation in round faces, especially for younger individuals with good skin elasticity, who often see instant slimming effects—even faster than HIFU. However, for skin laxity, results take about a month as collagen production gradually improves. This treatment is less suitable for individuals who are already very slim. Before proceeding, it is essential to communicate with clients to ensure they have realistic expectations about the results

Precautions during Lifetera V Procedure:

According to the manufacturer’s guidelines, Liftera V can be used on some areas where traditional HIFU is not recommended, such as the nose and chin. However, treatment on the upper eyelid and throat is strictly prohibited.

That said, since the nose bridge and chin do not have much fat to tighten or reduce, treatments are generally not performed on these areas.

General precautions: 1Do not emit ultrasound energy on areas without ultrasound gel coverage. The ultrasound gel ensures proper energy transmission and protects the skin from excessive heat. 2)Ultrasound energy must not be emitted when the probe is not in close contact with the skin, as this may cause surface damage due to improper energy distribution. 3)Do not move the handle side to side or keep it stationary while emitting energy, as this may cause excess energy to concentrate on a single spot, potentially leading to skin damage. 4)Areas with less fat and those close to bones require lower energy intensity to prevent discomfort or potential skin damage. 5)After the treatment, redness, swelling, or even blisters may appear. Immediate soothing measures are recommended to reduce discomfort. 6Certain conditions make direct treatment on specific areas inadvisable: 7)Avoid metal brackets. If the patient has dental implants or orthodontic braces, cotton pads should be placed in the cheeks for support. 8)Avoid areas open wounds and injuries 9)Avoid areas with inflammation or pimples 10)If subcutaneous fillers (such as hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating injections) have been used within the past year, certain areas require caution. 11)If rose thread has been used within the past year, caution is needed. Rose thread relies on barbs to tighten the skin, but the heat from Liftera V may dissolve or break the threads, rendering them ineffective.

Liftera V Post-care Treatment:

1)It is recommended to apply moisturizing masks and use moisturizing serums for one to two days before and after the treatment. Since this is a heat-based procedure, maintaining adequate skin hydration helps with better recovery and enhances treatment results. 2)After treatment, avoid using skincare products containing fruit acids, vitamin A acid, salicylic acid, or alcohol for one week. These ingredients can irritate the skin and slow down recovery. 3)After treatment, it is recommended to avoid hot springs, steam baths, and hot yoga for one week. These activities increase body temperature, which may affect recovery and reduce treatment effectiveness.

Side effects of Liftera V:

– After treatment, temporary burning, pain, tightness, or numbness may occur. In some cases, nerve inflammation can lead to temporary localized muscle weakness or numbness, caused by inflammation of motor and sympathetic nerves. These symptoms gradually fade over time—most people recover within 1-2 hours, while some may experience effects for 1-2 days. In rare cases, symptoms may persist for several weeks or for months. – After treatment, the affeted area may experience mild stinging or tenderness—this is a temporary reaction that gradually fades over several days or weeks. – Redness and mild swelling after treatment are common and typically subside within a few days. These reactions are part of the skin’s natural healing process. –After treatment, the affected area may develop mild bruising, which typically fades within 3-5 days – In very rare cases, some individuals may experience red scratch-like marks or bruising after treatment. Additionally, small hard lumps may be felt under the skin. These effects are temporary and gradually fade over time. – The treatment may reduce subcutaneous fat, potentially causing sunken skins in the affected area. This is a known effect of certain fat-reduction procedures, and the skin typically adjusts over time.

Treating Side Effects:

Scratches may occur if the treatment probe is not in close contact with the skin, leading to surface burns. About one week later, the affected area may turn brown and peel. To soothen, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial creams (such as Renewderm cream) can be applied. Since the wound is small, it typically heals within a month with minimal risk of permanent scarring. Firm, red swollen bumps may be caused by folliculitis, heat-induced urticaria, or acne. Treatment options include antihistamines for allergic reactions and anti-inflammatory antibacterial creams (such as Renewderm cream) to soothe the skin Oral mucosal trauma: Relatively common, oral mucosal bleeding or injury, possibly due to excessive probe pressure or thin skin, typically heals on its own in about a week.

Contraindication on Liftera V:

1)Pregnancy and breastfeeding women 2)Patients with immune system diseases, epilepsy, neurological paralysis issues in the treatment area such as facial palsy, coagulation disorders, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, herpes simplex, history or suspected skin cancer, hypertrophic scars, or immune system diseases (such as lupus)。 3)Prolonged exposure to strong UV rays from the sun or currently experiencing peeling 4)Taken Vitamin A Acid during the past 6 months, performed similar treatment during the past 9 months 5)Laser treatment, high energy RF, dermabrasion, etc. are not allowed.

Non-Invasive Thread Lifting Body Treatment

Non-Invasive Thread Lifting can be equipped with 7.0mm, 10.0mm, and 13.0mm depth heads for body fat reduction treatments, targeting areas with different fat thicknesses. Each probe has the same selectable energy level, with the only difference being the depth at which the energy penetrates the skin layers—13mm means the energy reaches 13mm deep into the skin. Before using this technique for body fat reduction, a fat caliper must be used to measure whether the treatment area has sufficient fat. If there is insufficient fat thickness, the energy will penetrate deeper into the muscle, rendering the treatment ineffective and potentially causing muscle damage. Medical aesthetics have been using high-energy focused ultrasound for fat reduction for a long time. Devices utilizing this technology are specifically designed for slimming, with energy levels several times higher than those used for non-invasive thread lifting on the face. However, the effectiveness of these treatments for weight loss varies from person to person. It is recommended that needle-free thread lifting be primarily used for body contouring, enhancing certain body lines, and tightening the skin, rather than misleading clients into thinking it is an effective weight-loss treatment. This approach sets more realistic expectations for results. Liftera V uses HIFU and TDT technology to heat subcutaneous fat, destroying fat cells, allowing fatty acids to be released and eliminated through metabolism, achieving fat reduction. If skin laxity is also present, it is recommended to use a 4.5mm treatment head to tighten the skin for contouring effects. The three types of body treatment heads target different issues: -7.0mm targets superficial fat: Suitable for most people, focusing on arms, auxiliary breast area, waist sides, knees, and calves -10.0mm Targeting mid-layer fat: Suitable for slightly overweight individuals, focusing on the abdomen, sides of the waist, and thighs -13.0mm targets deep fat: Suitable for the abdomen, legs, etc., for people with severe obesity. Each treatment session typically uses two or more probes of different depths, starting with a deeper probe followed by a shallow one. The treatment area is marked while the client is standing/sitting. For every 15 cm² of area, the number of pulses ranges between 3,000 and 5,000, with a recommended operating speed of 10Hz. If the same area is repeatedly treated, accumulated heat may increase pain. In such cases, the energy level can be reduced by 0.1J. Gathering the target area’s tissue together during treatment can help reduce discomfort. Treatment should be avoided in bony and nerve-rich areas such as the back and sternum. Depending on the size of the treatment area, each session lasts approximately 20 to 60 minutes. The procedure is safe, and clients can resume normal activities immediately afterward. However, the treated area may experience redness, warmth, or bruising, which typically fades within a week. Visible results can be achieved after a single treatment. For individuals with thicker fat deposits, it is recommended to undergo 3-4 sessions at one-month intervals. Generally, optimal results are observed within 8-12 weeks. When using the same probe continuously at high energy levels (above 4000 shots), it may overheat. It is crucial to check the temperature regularly—if the probe feels too hot, replace it before continuing the procedure.

Treatments applicable with Liftera V

RF: RF energy gradually penetrates from the skin’s surface to deeper layers, making it particularly effective for surface-level concerns like pores and wrinkles while also providing skin-tightening benefits. It pairs well with Liftera V, which targets deeper layers, including subcutaneous fat and the SMAS fascia layer. For clients who wish to undergo both treatments on the same day, they can first use Liftera V with 4.5 mm and 3.0 mm probes, avoiding the 1.5 mm probe. This allows for safe, immediate RF treatment, as each technique targets different layers. 1)Thread embedding: Thread embedding is divided into rose threads and short threads. If the user plans to combine with Liftera V, it is best to start with Liftera V first to strengthen the deeper layers as a foundation. Rose threads rely on barbs to tighten the skin, so it is recommended to first undergo several Liftera V sessions to firm up the skin, then use rose threads to refine the facial contours. While short threads is mainly used to increase collagen production, making them a great complement to needle-free embedding. Needle-free embedding can lift deeper layers, while short threads tighten the skin surface. However, if short thread has already been undergone, the patient must let the wound rested for at least one week before undergoing another treatment. 2)Botulinum toxin such as Botox and dysport etc: For facial slimming, this is also a great combination. It primarily targets muscle reduction, as many cases of a wide face are due to overly large masseter muscles. Currently, Botox is mainly used to reduce the masseter muscle, while needle-free thread lifting focuses on fat reduction. This combination provides a more comprehensive facial slimming effect. However, if the jawbone is relatively wide, this combination will not be effective. A gentler approach to addressing this issue is small-face therapy, specifically bone-pushing techniques. 3)Pigment removal laser: This mainly targets whitening and pigmentation removal. Liftera V serves a completely different function and targets different skin layers. If both treatments are performed on the same day, it is safer to avoid using the 1.5mm tip.

Skincare products applicable with Liftera V

It is recommended to apply hydrating masks and use hydrating serums one to two days before and after the treatment. Maintaining adequate skin hydration is important as it helps with better recovery and enhancesresults of the heat-based treatment. Ultra V Aquamask is a good choice, offering high hydration at a reasonable price. 1)Ultra V Idebenone Gold Drop contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid for hydration. Its precious Idebenone ingredient provides excellent antioxidant benefits, improving skin texture, brightening dull skin, and refining pores and fine lines. Since its ingredients are safe, it can be used both before and after the treatment. 2)Ultra V NanoSlim Fat reduction serum: During the treatment, mixing Ultra V NanoSlim into the ultrasound gel can create a synergistic effect. The ultrasound energy from Liftera V may help the serum penetrate deeper into the skin. The serum’s well-known phosphatidylcholine ingredient assists in fat reduction and stimulates collagen production. Post-treatment application can further enhance skin tightening and facial slimming effects.

Liftera V VS Other Similar Products

Liftera V, falsely associated with Ultra V Lift, is misleading because the Liftera V device has no connection to the well-known Korean thread-lifting material manufacturer, Ultra V. It is speculated that some beauty salons branded this technology to resemble thread lifting, using '無針埋線' (needle-free thread lifting) in Chinese and 'Ultra V Lift' in English to emphasize its association with thread lifting. Meanwhile, Ultra V had already introduced similar technology much earlier, and large chain stores in Hong Kong have adopted it, promoting it as an authentic and legitimate product. Liftera V and and other needle-free thread lifting use the same energy and similar technology, so their efficacy and effects are naturally quite similar. However, Liftera V is more commonly chosen in the market, likely due to its relative advantages: -The cost of equipment and consumables is relatively reasonable. -To ensure stable energy output, Liftera V's probe has a shot limit of 150,000 shots, after which it can no longer be used. In contrast, some single-point HIFU devices claim to require no probe replacement, but their energy inevitably weakens over time, eventually requiring a full device replacement. -Some single-point HIFU devices lack body treatment probes or even a 1.5mm probe. The latest version of Liftera V can even be equipped with a 2.0mm probe, making its probe selection quite sufficient. -Liftera V offers excellent speed options, ranging from 1Hz to 10Hz (shots per second), significantly reducing treatment time. Not every single-point HIFU device can achieve this. In all, if users want a well-known and efficient device but also more cost-effective, Liftera V is the best choice in the market.
