All Tight 400 Shots, Things More Important Than Numbers — Lifting Guide Organized by Gangnam Onlif Clinic

In Alltight 400 Shots, '400' means **the number of times energy is irradiated (unit)**. You can understand it as a lifting procedure of shooting 400 times. However, a larger number is not necessarily better. Although 400 shots are usually referred to as a full face, a higher number of shots is often recommended to cover a wide area including the entire face, forehead, and neck.

What actually determines effectiveness and safety is not the number of shots, but whether the equipment is genuine, the selection of depth, energy setting, and the skill level of the practitioner. Even with the same 400 shots, the results differ completely depending on where, at what depth, and with what intensity they are shot. In this article, we will calmly organize the information surrounding the Alltight 400 Shots from the perspective of Onlif Clinic.

🔎 What is Alltight 400 Shots?

Alltight is a non-surgical, non-incisional lifting procedure that concentrates heat energy deep inside the skin to induce collagen contraction and regeneration. Because it is a method of giving elasticity signals to sagging skin without using a knife, the downtime is short and recovery to daily life is fast.

Some data explain that Alltight applies a patented technology called **DLTD® (Depth Localized Thermal Delivery)** to concentrate heat energy of about 60 to 70°C on the dermis and SMAS layers while keeping the epidermal temperature low.

The important thing is this point. Alltight is a new technology that combines the effects of RF (Radio Frequency) and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). To fully enjoy this effect, it is safe to directly check what equipment is used in what way and whether genuine cartridges (tips) are used before the procedure.

📌 Key Summary: Alltight 400 Shots is a non-surgical lifting that induces collagen regeneration with heat energy, and 400 is the unit of irradiation count, not the effectiveness.

🧬 By what principle is the skin pulled?

The core of lifting energy procedures is the **thermal coagulation point (Coagulation Point)**. When heat of about 60 to 70°C is delivered to a specific depth of the skin on a dot-by-dot basis, collagen at that site instantly contracts and regenerates later, tightening the skin.

There are three representative target depths handled in HIFU-type procedures.

In particular, the **SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) at a depth of 4.5mm** is the muscle membrane layer that supports the face, and is the center of the actual 'pulling up' lifting effect. The dermis layer (1.5 and 3.0mm) is in charge of elasticity and skin texture. How to distribute the 400 shots among these three depths determines the result.

📌 Key Summary: The 60~70°C thermal coagulation point stimulates collagen in the dermis and SMAS layers, reviving elasticity over time.

⏱ When does the effect start and how long does it last?

Immediately after the procedure, you will feel a **light tightening (instant tightening)** due to thermal energy. However, this is close to a temporary reaction.

The full effect begins to appear 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure when new collagen is filled, and becomes most prominent between roughly 1 to 3 months. In other words, Alltight is not a procedure that 'changes instantly', but rather a procedure where elasticity gradually settles over time.

The maintenance period varies greatly from person to person, with averages of 4 to 6 months to 6 months to 1 year mentioned in various sources. Because it varies depending on skin age, degree of sagging, and lifestyle habits, it is realistic to approach it as a concept of **management through periodic re-treatment**. The procedure time is relatively short, around 20 to 60 minutes based on 400 shots.

📌 Key Summary: Instant tightening is brief, the real effect peaks at 1 to 3 months, and lasts an average of 6 months to 1 year.

⚖️ How is it different from other lifting procedures?

Ulthera is a representative genuine HIFU device, Thermage is an RF (Radio Frequency) system, and Shurink is a domestic HIFU-type device. Compared to these, Alltight 400 Shots commonly receives reviews that the cost burden and pain are relatively less.

A method different in nature from energy lifting is thread lifting. Since it is a method of physically pulling and fixing by inserting threads, the purpose is slightly different from energy procedures. In cases of severe sagging, surgical methods such as facelift are sometimes mentioned for information purposes, but Onlif Clinic prioritizes improvement through non-surgical procedures from a dermatological perspective rather than incision surgery using a knife. Depending on the condition, designing Alltight lifting and thread lifting together is often a natural approach.

📌 Key Summary: Alltight has relatively less pain and cost burden, and if necessary, it is designed in a non-surgical combination such as thread lifting.

⚠️ What are the side effects and precautions?

Even if it is a non-surgical procedure, it cannot be said that there are no side effects at all. Common reactions are temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and sensory dullness, most of which subside within a few days.

Although rare, temporary sensory loss or muscle paralysis due to burns or nerve damage, pigmentation, asymmetry, and skin indentation have been reported. A side effect to be particularly careful of is **cheek depression (fat atrophy)**.

If excessive energy is irradiated to those with little facial fat or thin skin, the fat may atrophy, making the cheeks look hollow instead. So the idea that 'the more shots, the better' is dangerous. It is not about unconditionally shooting a lot, but the judgment to adjust the depth and intensity according to the facial condition is much more important.

If you have a history of filler or Botox procedures, adjustment of the treatment area and depth is required, and if you have received a fat graft within the last 6 months, the procedure may be difficult. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have dermatitis on the treatment area, you must consult in advance.

📌 Key Summary: Common reactions are just redness and swelling, but if you have little facial fat, there is a risk of cheek depression, so the setting is more important than the number of shots.

✅ Checklist that is good to check before the procedure

If you are considering Alltight 400 Shots, please check the following in advance.

• Check whether the device is genuine and whether genuine cartridges (tips) are used

• Check safety evidence such as Ministry of Food and Drug Safety approval

• Consult on whether 400 shots are appropriate for the sagging and fat volume of my face

• Clarify the treatment scope, whether it is the entire face or focused on specific areas

• Screen for cheek depression risk group (little facial fat, thin skin)

• Share recent procedure history such as filler, Botox, and fat graft

• Get guidance on post-procedure care and re-treatment cycle

Whether the cartridge is genuine is a factor that determines both effectiveness and safety, so we recommend that you do not just pass it over.

📌 Key Summary: Checking genuine devices and cartridges and consulting on the number of shots and depth suitable for my face determine satisfaction.

🌿 Onlif Clinic approaches it this way

Onlif Clinic does not aim for plastic surgery that changes the shape of the eyes, nose, and mouth, but rather aims to restore the natural impression hidden by aging and loss of elasticity. Rather than pulling excessively, it is about restoring natural balance and 'signals of youth'.

There is no single correct answer for lifting. For some people, Alltight lifting alone is sufficient, while for others, it is better to design it together with thread lifting, fillers, or skin boosters. Onlif carefully proposes combinations suitable for facial conditions through a medical specialty system where doctors in charge of the procedures they do best in each field.

Above all, rather than being drawn to the number 400, it is first to check what your skin needs right now.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Alltight 400 Shots enough for the entire face?

400 shots are usually composed around specific areas such as the jawline, cheekbones, and nasolabial folds, including the midface. To cover the entire face, forehead, and neck, 600 shots or more are sometimes recommended, so it is good to decide the number of shots suitable for the treatment area through consultation.

Is Alltight a HIFU method or an RF method?

Interpretations vary by source. Some views explain it as an RF (Radio Frequency)-based DLTD® patented technology, and others view it as a HIFU system, so public technology verification is not sufficient. Therefore, it is safe to directly check the equipment and method before the procedure.

When does the effect start to appear?

There is light tightening immediately after, and the full effect by collagen regeneration begins 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure and becomes most prominent between 1 to 3 months. The maintenance period is an average of 6 months to 1 year, which varies greatly from person to person.

Is the pain severe?

It is commonly evaluated that the pain is less compared to other liftings such as Ulthera and Thermage. However, it varies depending on depth, intensity, and individual sensitivity, so you can consult on anesthesia or intensity adjustment before the procedure.

Can cheek depression occur?

If excessive energy is irradiated to those with little facial fat or thin skin, the cheeks may look hollow due to fat atrophy. Therefore, the energy setting tailored to the facial condition is more important than the number of shots.

Can I receive it with fillers and Botox?

It is possible, but adjustment of sequence, area, and depth is required. If you have a history of fillers or Botox, please inform us in advance, and if you have received a fat graft within the last 6 months, the procedure may be difficult, so consultation is essential.

How often should I receive it?

Some protocols recommend 3 sessions at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks initially and then maintaining 1 to 2 times a year, while others guide re-treatment at intervals of 6 to 12 months. Since it varies depending on skin condition, a customized plan is required.

How do I check if the device is genuine?

Check whether it is approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and whether genuine cartridges (tips) are used. Since whether the cartridge is genuine is a key factor that determines both effectiveness and safety, we recommend inquiring directly before the procedure.

Alltight 400 Shots can be a good procedure or a disappointing result. The difference comes from the design tailored to my face, not the numbers. We recommend checking the accurate judgment through consultation with a specialist.

Alltight 400 Shots, Good Things to Check Before Choosing a Hospital

Even for the same procedure, the result and recovery process differ depending on where, who, and how it is done.

Asking these items directly during the consultation will help you make a judgment.

• Is it a place that performs that procedure frequently? — Hospitals have different procedures they focus on. Check if it is a place that regularly performs Alltight 400 Shots.

• Can I check the products and equipment used? — Ask if you can check the product name and whether it is genuine (whether it is an import-approved product, whether there is an unboxing verification process) in the consultation.

• Do they explain the composition of the cost? — Rather than just hearing the total amount, you can make a judgment only after hearing explanations of what products are used, how much, and in what scope.

• Do they design by looking at the entire face? — Even for the same procedure, the location and amount applied differ depending on facial shape, skin condition, and left-right asymmetry.

• Do they explain adverse reactions and recovery processes first? — Rather than a consultation that only talks about expected changes, a place that informs you of possible adverse reactions and coping methods together is good for making a judgment.

• Is there a way to check after the procedure? — Check if the timing of progress check, how to contact when there is an issue, and criteria for re-visiting are set.

Onlif Clinic does Alltight 400 Shots like this

• We divide the responsibilities — With the thought that a single doctor does not handle all procedures, Onlif divides and treats by doctor in charge of each field.

• We check products and equipment together in the consultation — We guide you through the products used and the unboxing verification process during the consultation process.

• Costs are guided along with the composition after diagnosis — Since the area, capacity, and scope differ for each person, we explain what costs how much together.
