When Considering Lifting and Elasticity Treatments

Why Consultation is Necessary

When choosing a skin lifting procedure,

what many people first look at

is probably the number of shots or cost information for a particular procedure.

However, lifting procedures are often difficult to decide solely based on the number of shots or the equipment name.

This is because each individual's facial structure and the progression of aging vary.

“The causes of sagging skin vary from person to person”

Some people may notice a loss of elasticity in their cheeks,

while others may feel their jawline has become less defined.

Some may also hear that the area around their eyes or below their cheekbones looks sunken, making them appear tired.

These phenomena do not merely indicate a loss of skin elasticity.

They are the result of complex interactions involving the dermis, fat layer, and fascia (SMAS) beneath the skin,

as well as changes in the facial bones.

Therefore, even with the same lifting procedure, a treatment plan tailored to each individual's condition is crucial.

Let's look at specific examples.

If your jawline is blurred and a double chin appears?

This phenomenon may be associated with the weakening of the SMAS layer, a supportive structure within the skin, rather than merely a surface skin issue.

In such cases, a procedure that can deliver energy to deep skin layers,

such as ultrasound lifting (e.g., Shurink, Ultherapy, etc.), may be considered.

If the area below the cheekbones is sunken and the entire face appears to have lost elasticity?

This often indicates weakened skin elasticity accompanied by changes in the fat layer.

Thread lifts or radiofrequency lifting that stimulates the dermis (e.g., InMode, Forma, etc.) may be suitable.

If your face is generally swollen and the contours are not clear?

This may be related to edema and lymphatic circulation issues.

In such cases, procedures like Onda lifting, which can help improve the fat layer and lymphatic circulation, may be considered.

If you are concerned about fine wrinkles around the eyes or sagging eyebrows?

As this is an area with thin skin, a precise approach to treatment, rather than excessive stimulation, is crucial.

Shurink treatments focusing on shallow depths with a 1.5mm tip, or radiofrequency lifting like Oligio, can contribute to improvement.

“How and where” the procedure is performed is more important than the “total number of shots”.

Even if you receive the same 300 shots of Shurink,

some people may experience significant positive changes,

while others may not perceive much change.

The reasons are as follows:

This is due to differences in detailed treatment methods, such as the treated area, application depth, and energy intensity.

Lifting procedures go beyond simply using equipment to deliver energy;

they require expertise to deeply understand individual facial characteristics and plan customized treatments.

Therefore, at our clinic, we "establish individual customized plans" before treatment.

At our clinic, we do not view lifting procedures as just a single process.

We meticulously analyze the patient's facial structure,

and go through a process of accurately identifying which skin layer is causing the current skin concerns.

We carefully plan the appropriate equipment, treatment method, number of shots needed, and treatment depth to match each individual's condition.

Even for the same Shurink treatment, the number of shots needed can vary for each patient.

Sometimes, 200 shots may be sufficient, while for others, 400 shots might be recommended.

Thread lifting might be a more suitable alternative than Shurink treatment.

Every face has its own unique characteristics.

Therefore, we believe that lifting treatments also require a personalized plan.

For medical professionals, recommending a fixed number of shots using a specific device might feel straightforward.

However, it's different for patients.

It's important to clearly understand what your facial concerns are and what the solutions for them might be.

Lifting is not determined by a simple number of shots, but rather,

it begins with an in-depth analysis of your unique facial characteristics.

We do not adhere to specific treatment names,

but instead, we guide the lifting direction based on the facial condition of each individual patient.

Please feel free to receive a consultation.
