Concerns About Facial Contours: Improving Sagging Contours with Titanium and Linearz ReLifting at a Jamsil Dermatology Clinic

Contour Lifting, 2 Types

Hello, this is Jamsil-on Dermatology Clinic near Jamsil Station!

When you casually look at your facial line, it is often easy to feel that it looks more sagged than before. A loss of firmness in facial contours is not simply a change on the skin’s surface, but is also closely related to structural factors in the layers beneath the skin. That is why simple care has its limits, and a layered, fundamental approach is needed! Today, we will look at two contour lifting methods: Titanium and Linearz.

Contour Lifting, 2 Types

Causes of Sagging Contours

The first reason facial contours become blurred is that collagen and elastin in the skin decrease with age, reducing firmness. When the skin can no longer support its position, cheek volume shifts downward and sagging appears around the jawline. In addition, fat redistribution, skeletal changes, and lifestyle habits also have an effect, collectively breaking down facial contours.

Another important factor is the SMAS layer. The SMAS layer is a fibrous membrane located between the skin and muscles, and it supports facial muscles and helps transmit facial expressions. When this layer weakens, the skin is pulled downward, making a double chin or buccal fat more noticeable! Therefore, accurately targeting the SMAS layer is key in contour lifting.

<Causes of Sagging Contours>

• Decreased collagen / elastin due to aging

• Weakened skin firmness / downward-shifting fat / blurred contours

• When the SMAS layer weakens, buccal fat / double chin become more noticeable

Causes of Sagging Contours

Titanium Lifting

First, Titanium lifting is a device that stimulates the skin by using three wavelengths of light at the same time: 755nm, 810nm, and 1064nm. Each wavelength reaches different depths, from the epidermis to the dermis and subcutaneous layer, increasing both collagen regeneration and skin tension. This multi-layer approach is beneficial not only for improving firmness visible from the outside, but also for helping restore the skin’s inner structure in a healthy way.

Another advantage is that the pain is manageable with topical anesthesia, and you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure. It also evenly disperses heat stimulation, lowering the risk of burns and making it easy to apply even to sensitive skin. Because multiple wavelengths act at the same time, it is also characterized by allowing a customized approach depending on skin thickness and condition.

<Titanium Lifting>

• Uses 755nm, 810nm, and 1064nm light wavelengths simultaneously

• Heat delivered from the epidermis to the subcutaneous layer / two customized modes

• Promotes collagen regeneration by skin layer / helps restore firmness

• Quick recovery / high stability / non-surgical lifting

Titanium Lifting

Two Titanium Modes

Titanium has two modes. First, SHR mode uses rapid repeated irradiation at 1 to 10 times per second, continuously heating the skin and delivering heat evenly across the epidermis and dermis. In this process, you can expect surface-level benefits such as pore reduction, improved skin texture, and softened fine lines. You can think of it as creating improvement points beyond a simple lifting effect.

Meanwhile, STACK mode concentrates heat on specific areas using a slower frequency of 2 to 5 Hz. It reaches deeply into the SMAS layer, making it effective for tightening facial contours, improving a double chin, and lifting sagging cheeks. You can think of it as producing a quick contouring effect. In other words, SHR is suitable for improving skin texture and tone, while STACK is suitable for lifting deeper layers, so they can be used complementarily.

Linearz Lifting

Next, Linearz is a lifting method that uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to deliver energy into deep layers of the skin. In particular, it directly stimulates the SMAS layer located between the skin and muscles, inducing contraction and helping new collagen form over time. Its strength is that it can manage not only the surface, but also the deep layer that supports the facial structure!

Right after the lifting procedure, you may feel the skin slightly tightened, and then over the next 2 to 3 months, you gradually experience increasing firmness. The recovery period is short, so it does not cause major inconvenience in daily life, and because the contours become naturally more defined, it is suitable for people who do not want a drastic change.

<Linearz Lifting>

• Uses high-intensity ultrasound / delivers energy deep into the skin

• Directly targets the SMAS layer / structural lifting effect

• Natural contour improvement / short recovery period

Linearz Lifting

Two Linearz Modes

Linearz is divided into two methods: dot type and linear type. The dot type concentrates energy in point form and is effective for improving sagging in specific areas. It is mainly used for deeply indented areas such as nasolabial folds or the jawline, so you can expect a clear lifting effect.

On the other hand, the linear type delivers energy broadly in a line, pulling the entire face evenly. It is suitable when you want natural and gentle contour improvement in large areas such as the cheeks or jawline. The two methods complement each other, so combining them according to the area of concern and treatment goal can produce a more balanced result :)
