What Is Non-Surgical Wrinkle Treatment?

Non-surgical wrinkle treatment (비수술 주름치료) refers to advanced aesthetic procedures that smooth or reduce facial lines, fine wrinkles, and aged texture without incisions or long downtime. At QD Plastic Surgery, Dr Hong offers a tailored mix of injectables, energy-based devices and skin-boosting therapies to refresh the skin and restore youthfulness.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from non-surgical wrinkle treatment if you:

• Have visible fine lines (e.g., around the eyes, forehead, smile lines)
• Want smoother skin texture but are not ready for surgery
• Prefer treatments with minimal recovery time
• Are looking to maintain youthful skin or prevent deeper folds

This option is ideal for men and women in their 20s-60s seeking a refreshed appearance without major intervention.

Common Techniques Used at QD Plastic Surgery

1. Neuromodulator Injections (Botox / Dysport)

Relaxes muscle movement that causes dynamic wrinkles (e.g., crow’s feet, frown lines).

2. Dermal Fillers & Skin Boosters

Adds volume in areas of wrinkles and creases; improves skin hydration and firmness.

3. Laser & Radio-Frequency (RF) Devices

Uses thermal energy to stimulate collagen and tighten skin. Examples include Thermage, Ultherapy and other HIFU/RF platforms. jkplastic.com+2Forena Clinic+2

4. Microneedling / Injectable Biologics (e.g., PDRN / Rejuran)

Enhances regeneration of skin, improves texture, thickens dermis, reduces fine wrinkles. Marie Claire UK+1

5. Combination Therapy

Often a tailored combo of the above for best effect (e.g., laser + filler + neuromodulator).
