What Is Quantum Lift? The BIANCA Treatment for Those Concerned About Sagging Under the Jaw and on the Cheeks
As a plastic surgeon, he has experienced many cases and has developed precise techniques and a deep anatomical understanding. Currently, combining his knowledge of plastic surgery with the latest technology, he provides a wide range of cosmetic treatments for skin, contouring, sagging, and other concerns of aging. He has also shared the responsibility of writing Japan's first textbook on gynecological cosmetic surgery, "Basic Techniques of Gynecological Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. From her experience as an idol during medical school, she realized that "natural beauty" goes beyond the will to choose how you want to be, and she focuses on supporting her patients to "love yourself more every day". We are English-speaking and value counseling that is easy to talk to.
Hello, everyone!
Dr. Arisu is a board-certified plastic surgeon by the Japanese Society of Plastic Surgery who offers natural and elegant rejuvenation.
Are there any of you who have been worrying about things like, “Lately, every time I look in the mirror, I notice sagging under my chin,” or “I feel like my facial contours have become less defined because of the sagging in my cheeks”?
Changes in facial contours that occur with age are a common concern for many people, but it is not uncommon for individuals to hesitate to undergo treatment due to reservations about invasive surgery or an inability to set aside the necessary time for a long recovery period.
In this article, we’ll provide a detailed explanation of “Quantum Lift,” a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment that targets the skin’s underlying structure—something we’d love for those individuals to learn about.
For Those Concerned About Sagging Under the Jaw and on the Cheeks | Non-Surgical Sagging Treatment with Quantum Lift
Quantum Lift is an advanced skin-tightening device"Quantum RF"This procedure uses [...] to achieve an ideal lift. Its distinctive feature is the insertion of a slender cannula under the skin to deliver fractional RF (radiofrequency) energy directly to the tissue.
Unlike conventional treatments that target the skin’s surface, this treatment delivers thermal energy directly to the three deeper layers of the skin: the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and fat layer. This allows it to target the tissues responsible for sagging, skin firmness, and elasticity, achieving a deep, firming effect from within.
In addition, “Quantum” can be used for body volume control and is widely utilized as a treatment for sagging skin concerns from the face to the entire body.

How Quantum Lift Aims to Achieve a Lifting Effect
Next, let’s take a closer look at how Quantum Lift works from a plastic surgeon’s perspective.
Within the subcutaneous fat lies a fine mesh-like structure called the ”FSN (Fibrous Septal Network),” composed of collagen and elastin fibers. This network extends from the dermis to the deeper tissues, connecting the skin, fat, and underlying tissues, and serves as a sort of “scaffold” that supports the face’s three-dimensional contours from within. It is believed that as this structure changes with age, its supportive strength diminishes, which in turn affects the appearance of the jawline.
By applying “Quantum” RF energy to subcutaneous tissue—including the FSN—this treatment helps tighten the tissue. Furthermore, the thermal effects of RF promote the contraction and restructuring of collagen fibers, which is expected to improve skin firmness and elasticity.
Furthermore, because “Quantum” can directly target the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin, it is capable of delivering thermal energy across multiple layers—from deep to superficial. As a result, it is expected to not only tighten the skin and underlying tissues but also reduce fat volume.
In other words, Quantum Lift aims to achieve multi-layered, three-dimensional skin tightening while also addressing the underlying tissues and fat that support the face. This results in a natural lift that avoids the unnatural appearance often associated with treatments that simply pull sagging skin upward.
BIANCA CLINIC’s Commitment to Achieving a Sleek, Defined Jawline and Cheeks
What I value most in my work is a meticulous approach designed to bring out the maximum beauty in each and every patient. Let me share my commitment to my treatments.
A meticulous design that takes into account bone structure and fat thickness
The way fat is distributed, the degree of sagging, and the underlying bone structure vary from person to person. Therefore, if the “Quantum” output or the insertion site is set incorrectly, it can sometimes result in unnatural indentations or tightness.
To minimize risks as much as possible, we conduct the procedure by drawing on our thorough counseling and anatomical knowledge. We tailor the treatment to each individual’s skeletal structure, body fat, and the causes of sagging, carefully controlling the output and insertion angle down to the millimeter.
We strive to achieve results that bring out your natural beauty from every angle. If you’re wondering, “What’s the best approach for my sagging skin?” or are curious about Bianca’s “Quantum Lift,” please feel free to come in for a consultation.
A combined approach with liposuction or thread lifts is also possible
While Quantum Lift is a treatment that typically produces noticeable results even on its own, combining it with other treatments allows you to achieve even more comprehensive results through a multifaceted approach.
For example, it is possible to combine treatments such as using “Quantum” to tighten the skin after directly removing excess fat through liposuction, or physically lifting the skin using thread lifts like “BIANCA LIFT.”
When performed in conjunction with liposuction, the “Quantum” device’s high-frequency waves help control bleeding during the procedure, which also helps reduce stress on the treated area. As a result, downtime may be shorter in some cases compared to liposuction performed on its own.
In addition, Bianca Clinic offers a wide selection of threads used for thread lifts. All of these threads are made of materials that are absorbed by the body over time, and we recommend the appropriate type and number of threads based on the degree of sagging.
We’ll design your look while taking into account the overall balance of your face, so please let us know what your ideal jawline is and the impression you’d like to create.
In some cases, the “Morpheus 8 Burst” is also used. The “Morpheus 8 Burst” is a needle RF treatment that utilizes ultra-fine needles and high-frequency energy. It targets not only the skin’s surface but also the subcutaneous tissue to refine skin texture and promote firmer, more elastic skin.
At Bianca Clinic, we work closely with our patients to understand their needs and provide customized treatment plans tailored to their specific requirements.
Support to Ease the Stress of Downtime
We also offer support to help alleviate post-operative swelling and edema as much as possible, so you can enjoy a comfortable recovery period. For those concerned about edema following a Quantum Lift, we may recommend an “edema-reducing IV drip.”
In addition, we offer a “Post-Surgery Oral Medication Set” supervised by Dr. Yoko Maeda, our clinic’s consulting physician in aesthetic medicine. We have established a system that uses IV drips and oral medications to help manage the stress of downtime from the inside out, so please feel free to consult with us if you are interested.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Have your questions or concerns about Quantum Lift been addressed? Finally, we’ll answer some of the questions we frequently receive from patients.
How long do the swelling and puffiness from Quantum Lift last?
Although results vary from person to person, severe swelling generally subsides within a few days to about a week. Any bruising that occurs also usually fades on its own within about two weeks.
Does the Quantum Lift treatment hurt?
Since a cannula is inserted under the skin, the procedure is performed under anesthesia. Most patients tend to feel very little pain during the procedure and are able to relax throughout. If you have significant anxiety about pain, please feel free to consult with your doctor.
How long do the effects of Quantum Lift last?
Although results vary from person to person, the effects typically last about six months to one year. Since changes due to aging and lifestyle habits progress gradually, some patients choose to undergo regular maintenance treatments. The recommended interval for maintenance and the specific treatments needed vary by patient, so please consult your doctor.
What is the difference between “Quantum” and “Morpheus 8 Burst”?
"Quantum" uses cannulas to directly target the deep layers of the skin, aiming to firm the skin from the foundation up. In contrast, "Morpheus 8 Burst" uses Needle RF—a combination of ultra-fine needles and RF—to treat the skin from the surface, aiming to improve skin texture and achieve firming effects.
You can use “Quantum” and “Morpheus 8 Burst” together; doing so can help achieve a more three-dimensional firming effect.
