When looking in the mirror, there are times when you suddenly feel that your facial line looks less defined than before.

Although the skin may seem to sag all at once, in many cases the change appears gradually as the skin’s internal elasticity structure slowly weakens.

As collagen and elastin begin to decrease, the skin can no longer be supported as firmly as before and starts to collapse little by little downward.

In this process, • the cheeks may drop, making the face look wider • the jawline may become less defined and the contours may look blurred • the area around the mouth may sag, making the expression look heavier such changes may appear.

When these changes begin, many people start considering lifting procedures, and some look into Gongdeok Thermage as one option.

However, in actual lifting consultations, rather than simply deciding which device to use, the first step is checking what form the current skin condition is taking.

Criteria to Check Before the Number of Shots for Thermage in Gongdeok image 2 Current state of skin elasticity The first thing checked in a lifting consultation is the current level of skin elasticity.

Even when elasticity has decreased, not all skin changes in the same way.

For example, • the overall elasticity of the skin has weakened throughout • sagging has started only in certain areas • volume loss is more noticeable than elasticity loss In this way, the pattern of elasticity decline can appear differently from person to person.

If the elasticity of the skin overall has weakened, a lifting approach that stimulates the skin tissue and induces collagen regeneration may be helpful.

Gongdeok Thermage, which uses radiofrequency energy, is known as a method that delivers thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates the collagen structure.

In this process, the tissue inside the skin is gradually reorganized, and it is sometimes explained as a feature that changes in elasticity may appear.

Therefore, when reduced skin elasticity is the main cause, this approach can be one option.

Areas where sagging appears Even if elasticity has decreased, the lifting approach can differ depending on where the sagging appears.

Looking at common examples, • the center of the cheeks drops downward • the jawline becomes less defined and the facial contour looks blurred • the area around the mouth sags and the expression looks different Depending on where sagging begins like this, the main area where energy should be delivered during a lifting procedure can change.

That is why, in lifting consultations, rather than stimulating the whole face equally, • where the change started • which part of the facial structure has weakened these factors are checked first.

This process can be an important 기준 for setting the direction of the procedure.

Skin thickness varies from person to person, and the density of the tissue beneath the skin also differs.

For example, if the skin is relatively thin, uniform and stable energy delivery may be more important than excessive energy stimulation.

On the other hand, if the skin is somewhat thick and the tissue density is high, a method that sufficiently stimulates the tissue inside the skin may be needed.

Because the energy intensity or treatment range may vary depending on skin thickness and tissue condition like this, rather than applying the same standard uniformly, a personalized approach to the individual skin condition is considered important.

What is considered before the number of shots When looking into lifting procedures, what many people are most curious about first is the number of shots.

That is because it is easy to think the effect will change depending on how many shots are used.

However, in actual consultations, there are factors checked before the number of shots.

Typically, • the current state of skin elasticity • the location where sagging appears • skin thickness and tissue response • overall facial balance are among them.

After checking these factors first, the treatment range and approach are determined accordingly.

Even when using the same device, the direction of the result can change depending on where and how the energy is delivered.

However, in practice, it may be more important for the overall elasticity to improve without making the facial impression look unnatural.

That is because the face is a structure in which multiple tissues move together and maintain balance. If only a specific area is excessively stimulated, the overall facial balance may instead look awkward. That is why, in lifting consultations, • the overall facial contour • the condition of skin elasticity • the direction of sagging are often considered together, and the approach is aimed at a direction that allows natural changes.

Why the consultation process matters A lifting procedure is not something where the result is determined simply by the device name alone; differences can appear depending on how each person’s skin condition and facial structure are understood.

So even when looking into Gongdeok Thermage, rather than judging only by the number of shots or the price, the consultation process that sufficiently checks the current skin condition can be considered important.

If you look at several factors together, such as skin elasticity, the direction of sagging, and skin thickness, and find an approach suited to the individual condition, you may be able to expect a more natural and balanced change in elasticity.

A lifting procedure can be seen as beginning not simply with choosing a device, but with a consultation that accurately understands the skin condition.
