When You Are Considering Lifting/Elasticity Procedures

Lifting Procedures, Why is Expert Consultation Necessary?

When choosing a skin lifting procedure,

In most cases, the first information you search for is

something like 'Shrink 300 shots price' or 'Oligio how many shots cost'.

However, lifting procedures have limitations when decided solely by the number of shots or the name of the device.

This is because each person's facial structure and the areas where aging progresses differ.

The pattern of skin sagging varies from person to person.

Some people may notice their cheek fat appearing to sag.

Others may feel that their jawline has become less defined.

Additionally, hollowing under the eyes or cheekbones can give the impression of a tired face.

These changes are not solely due to a decrease in skin elasticity.

They are complex phenomena involving the deeper layers of the skin, such as the dermis, fat layer, and fascia layer (SMAS), and

further accompanied by changes in the facial bones.

Therefore, even with the same lifting procedure, a customized approach is crucial for each individual.

Let me explain with specific examples.

If your jawline has become indistinct and you have developed a double chin,

this may indicate a weakening of the internal support structure, the SMAS layer, rather than just a superficial skin issue.

In such cases, ultrasound lifting procedures (e.g., Shrink, Ultherapy) that deliver energy to the deep layers of the skin

can be considered.

If the area under your cheekbones is hollow and your face generally appears saggy,

this could be due to weakened skin elasticity causing the fat layer to descend.

In this case, thread lifting or radiofrequency lifting (e.g., Inmode, Forma) that stimulates the dermal layer can be considered.

When there is swelling across the entire face and the contours are not clear,

the problem is likely related to swelling and lymphatic circulation.

In such cases, procedures like Onda lifting, which focus on improving the fat layer and lymphatic circulation, can be helpful.

If you notice fine wrinkles around your eyes or your eyebrows have drooped,

as this is an area with thin skin, delicate and precise lifting is needed rather than strong stimulation.

Radiofrequency lifting procedures such as Shrink tips at 1.5mm depth or Oligio can be effective.

The treatment area and method are more important than the number of shots.

Even if two individuals receive the same 300 shots of Shrink,

one person might experience satisfactory changes,

while another might not feel a significant effect.

The reasons for these differences are as follows:

This is because the results vary depending on which area, at what depth, and with how much energy the treatment was performed.

Lifting procedures are more than just operating a device;

they require expertise to thoroughly understand an individual's face and formulate a treatment plan.

Therefore, a thorough diagnosis and 'design' process precede the treatment.

At our clinic, we do not approach lifting procedures as merely a medical act.

First, we deeply analyze the patient's facial structure,

and accurately identify which skin layer is the origin of their current concerns.

We meticulously plan the equipment, treatment method, number of shots, and treatment depth according to each individual's condition.

Even for the same Shurink treatment, the required number of shots can vary depending on the individual.

For example, 400 shots might be more suitable for some individuals.

It might be more appropriate to consider thread lifting rather than Shurink.

A person's face is never a mass-produced product.

Therefore, lifting treatments also require a personalized approach for each individual.

For medical staff, using a fixed number of shots with a specific device might be convenient.

However, for patients,

you will likely find it more important to understand what your facial concerns are and how they can be resolved.

Lifting treatments are not simply bound by a predetermined number of shots,

but begin with a customized plan that deeply understands each patient's individual facial characteristics.

At our medical institution, rather than focusing on the treatment name,

we perform lifting treatments meticulously planned based on your facial condition.

Simply receiving a comfortable consultation is enough.

What is the current state of your face, and in what direction can improvement be expected?

We will carefully examine this together.
