Hello.

This is the Petit Center at April 31 Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’ll talk about

procedures that offer good value for money.



You often hear the term “value for money,” right?

In today’s era of smarter spending, value for money has

become an important consumption culture.



Did you know that there are also value-for-money procedures

in the realm of petit procedures?

  1. What does value for money mean?

It means the performance relative to the price, in other words, how high the performance or satisfaction is

compared to the amount spent.



Then there are two ways to improve value for money.

You can buy the same performance for less,

or buy something with better performance at the same price.



But when people talk about value for money, most

tend to focus only on things that are cheap.

“Cheap is always good value.”

Actually, that is not always true.



Even if something costs twice as much, if it gives three times the effect,

that is good value for money.



Today, I’ll recommend procedures from both the price and performance perspectives.

Recommend 01.

Botox



When talking about good-value procedures,

Botox is something you simply cannot leave out.

Everyone uses facial muscles,

and wrinkles form as a result.



If you’re concerned about fine lines on your face,

it’s a good procedure to choose first,

before other lifting lasers or skin boosters.



It is also used not only for wrinkle Botox,

but to reduce the volume of enlarged muscles.



Soft tissue such as fat, muscle, and bone

makes up most of the volume,

and in particular, the temporalis or masseter muscle volume can be reduced

with a simple and relatively low-cost treatment compared with the effort and cost of reducing fat or bone.

Here!

Which Botox product

is best to choose?



Usually, there is quite a price difference depending on whether it is domestic or imported.



First of all, most domestic Botox products

can be thought of as almost the same in nearly every respect.



For imported products, the well-known ones include Xeomin

and Allergan’s Botox.



Xeomin is known to have

a much lower chance of resistance.



Allergan’s Botox from the U.S.

is the original Botox,

and the name “Botox” itself

is Allergan’s brand name.

It’s like “Hochikisu” or “Daeil Band.”



Allergan Botox has been used

for the longest period of time,

so its safety and effectiveness

have been sufficiently proven.



Does domestic Botox develop resistance?

Clinically speaking, the

chance of resistance to Botox itself is very low.



If you get it about once every six months,

you probably don’t need to worry much.



If it is not being done continuously at short intervals,

such as every three months,

domestic Botox can also

provide sufficient results.



In the case of Botox, choosing a more expensive product to improve performance

and reduce side effects is also good,

but from a value-for-money perspective, if it is your first time getting Botox,

domestic Botox seems like a good choice.

Also, products such as Coretox, which are designed to lower the possibility of resistance,

can serve as alternatives to imported products.

Recommend 02.

Filler



There’s nothing better for restoring lost volume.

There are fat grafting, volume threads, collagen boosters,

and similar treatments, but in most cases,

filler is considered the most cost-effective.



As aging begins,

volume loss occurs in various areas,

and naturally filling in those hollow areas

is very important.



When you want to restore volume across an overall sunken face

and make it look fuller,

more than 10 cc of filler may be needed,

and in that case, fat grafting

is more cost-effective than filler.



When you want to add volume to specific areas,

filler can be considered a cost-effective procedure.



Next is which filler to use.

Filler products that are widely used around the world

are good in terms of performance and side effects.

Unless it is being used in an area with thin skin,

domestic fillers are also sufficient.



For areas like under the eyes, aegyo-sal, and lip fillers,

a cheap filler is not what makes for good value;

using a good filler to achieve a good result

can actually be more cost-effective.

Recommend 03.

Lifting laser



There are many different types of lifting laser devices,

and broadly speaking, they can be divided into radiofrequency and ultrasound devices.



A representative radiofrequency device is Thermage.

Among domestic products, Oligio is a notable example.

There are many other devices as well.



If you are worried about skin elasticity and want to avoid injection procedures or microneedle radiofrequency treatments because of pain or disruption to daily life,

there are actually very few alternatives.

[Earlyf Petit Center] Is There Such a Thing as a Cost-Effective Procedure? Best Value Procedure Picks! image 9



If you need a radiofrequency treatment,

the price difference between Thermage and Oligio is about three times.



It is impossible to state with certainty that the effect is multiple times greater.

Because Thermage has superior cooling,

it is true that it can induce protein denaturation with stronger intensity,

but



Oligio also provides sufficient denaturation and regenerative effects,

and if you ask whether its effect reaches three times as much,

the answer would be no.



From a value-for-money perspective rather than maximum effect,

I think Oligio is the better choice.

Recommend 04.

Skin booster, collagen booster



There are almost no procedures that can be said to be cost-effective on their own as skin boosters.

Skin boosters are painful and expensive,

but compared to lasers, their effects are better, so people undergo them taking those factors into account.



Still, if we were to name cost-effective procedures,

the ones commonly called water-glow injections,

Hydro Lifting and Skin Botox,

would be among them.



In fact, to make the skin taut,

collagen regeneration is one way,

but in terms of value for money, hyaluronic acid injections

seem to be the best.

I think Skin Botox, which affects the fine muscles of the face and neck skin,

as well as the muscles in the superficial layers close to the skin,

is fundamental.



Of course, Rejuran, exosomes,

and other skin boosters are also sufficiently good,

but I recommend trying Hydro Lifting Skin Botox.

What is the most important point

about cost-effective procedures?



Even while talking about these value-for-money procedures,

there is no definitive answer because they cannot be stated with certainty.



Everything here is based on the assumption that the procedure was performed in the same way.



“Shrink didn’t work, so Shrink isn’t right for me.”

That is incorrect.



First, the procedure has to be done well

before we can even talk about value for money.

It’s like receiving surgery from a doctor who is excellent at surgery;

the price may feel higher.



For people receiving procedures,

value for money does not mean that only the cheaper price is good,

but rather that even if it is expensive, it has greater benefits worth the cost,

so it feels more cost-effective.



Procedures are relatively easier to approach than surgery.

Because of that, the range of processes and outcomes for procedures is very broad.



To put it bluntly,

even if they are done carelessly,

the person receiving them often does not know.



In the end, the most important thing

in cost-effective procedures is

medical staff who are always thinking and researching.



I believe that if you receive a procedure, it should definitely be worth the cost.

It is the principle of Earlyf not to perform procedures that are ineffective.

We talked about

procedures that offer good value for money.

I hope this was helpful in choosing a procedure.
