These are concerns we hear very often when consulting with patients in the treatment room.

Because their facial contours no longer look the same as before, many people first think of “lifting that pulls the skin up strongly.”

In fact, if you feel that your facial elasticity has declined despite not having much facial fat,

it is more likely that the skin itself has become thinner and lost its strength, rather than that the face has simply sagged downward.

If the skin foundation has become thin and you simply pull from deeper layers, the cheeks may actually appear hollow.

In situations like this, the first step should be an approach that strengthens and replenishes the thinned dermal layer, rather than a treatment that only pulls the skin upward.

1.5 mm: The Dermal Layer,

A Key Depth That Determines Skin Elasticity

When skin elasticity begins to decline and fine lines or rough skin texture become noticeable,

the area we examine most carefully is the “dermal layer,” located approximately 1.5 mm beneath the skin’s surface.

This dermal layer contains abundant collagen and elastin, which support the skin and help it stay plump and firm.

When speaking with people who have recently visited us,

we sometimes hear that they underwent lifting treatments that targeted deep layers aggressively, only to feel regret when their cheeks appeared sunken or their overall impression looked more hollow.

This is especially important to approach with caution if you have little facial fat and relatively thin skin.

Lifting treatments that target the deeper fat or fascial layers can cause side effects such as cheek hollowing, so they require a very careful approach.

In cases like this, the treatment we recommend as a good alternative is “Sofwave.”

Sofwave precisely delivers ultrasound energy to the dermal layer at a depth of approximately 1.5 mm, helping stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration.

Its greatest advantage is that it focuses on restoring the skin’s own thickness and elasticity in a healthy way,

without affecting the deeper fat layer.

Why Skin Becomes Firmer

Without Adding Volume

Sofwave is not a treatment that inserts an external substance like a filler or forcibly pulls the skin upward.

The principle is that ultrasound energy delivered to the dermal layer supports natural regeneration, allowing the skin to produce collagen on its own.

Therefore, rather than focusing on effects that appear immediately after treatment,

it can be rewarding to observe how the dermal layer gradually becomes denser over time and how the skin grows healthier.

• A feeling of elasticity as pillow marks that used to linger gradually disappear more quickly

• Smoother, more refined skin texture

• Facial contours that become naturally more defined without looking artificial

These are the gradual changes you may expect as the foundation of the skin becomes stronger step by step.

Before Pulling Up the Facial Contours, Check Your Skin’s “Foundation” First

When considering lifting, many people focus only on visible “shapes,” such as a sagging jawline or wrinkles around the eyes.

However, as a physician, what I consider more important in the treatment room is the condition of the patient’s skin foundation at that moment.

If the skin has become thin and its underlying elasticity has declined,

aggressively pulling the deeper layers is not always the answer.

This is also why I often recommend Sofwave first to people who visit us with concerns about thin skin or skin texture.

Rather than artificially changing the shape of the face,

this approach delivers energy to the dermal layer and helps the skin enhance its natural elasticity and regenerative capacity on its own.

Before forcibly pulling the face upward,

accurately assessing the layer that matches your skin thickness and elasticity, then providing care accordingly—

this is the key to “natural lifting” that remains satisfying over time without becoming tiresome.

For results that remain satisfying over time,

we will continue to provide only the care that is truly necessary.
