Imiseok Dermatology: Types of Wrinkles and the Laser Lifting Procedures Suited to Them

Types of Wrinkles and the Laser Lifting Procedures Suited to Them

Are you bothered by the wrinkles that keep increasing one by one as you age? Once wrinkles appear, they are difficult to remove or conceal. One of the most effective ways to care for existing wrinkles is dermatological treatment. However, the wrinkles we commonly refer to are not all the same, so before seeing a dermatologist, it is important to consider the type of wrinkle.

The three representative types of wrinkles are:

1. pseudowrinkles, 2. true wrinkles, 3. temporary wrinkles.

2. Pseudowrinkles are wrinkles caused by a decrease in the skin’s moisture content. 2. True wrinkles are wrinkles that appear when collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis are destroyed or denatured. Lastly, temporary wrinkles are wrinkles caused by a partial decrease in subcutaneous fat.

Pseudowrinkles and temporary wrinkles have a high possibility of recovery depending on how the skin is cared for, but true wrinkles involve changes in the skin tissue itself and can turn into deep wrinkles if care is neglected. Therefore, true wrinkles that are visible to the naked eye can be expected to improve with treatments such as lasers, Botox, and fillers.

Minimally invasive procedures such as Botox and fillers, which are widely performed among younger people in their 20s, are popular wrinkle-improvement treatments. However, their effects and duration vary from person to person, and a drawback is that they are not permanent. For this reason, skin lifting laser procedures such as Tune Face Lifting and Thermage CPT, which are said to provide longer-term skin improvement effects than minimally invasive procedures, have recently been attracting attention.

The advantages of laser lifting include improving facial contour with a V-line lifting effect, reducing fine wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, and promoting collagen synthesis in the dermis, helping the face look firm and youthful. Laser lifting has the advantages of being simple and quick, not requiring anesthesia, and offering a fast recovery time.

Among them, Tune Face Lifting is a multi-solution that improves both facial elasticity and shape at the same time. It is a procedure that uses radiofrequency at 40.68 Hz, the frequency most effective for collagen regeneration, and can selectively deliver radiofrequency energy up to 20 mm into the skin depending on the degree of skin aging. It improves skin elasticity, induces the formation of subcutaneous collagen tissue, and, in about 10 to 15 minutes of treatment, can destroy fat cells under the double chin to create a slimming effect. It is also a laser procedure that can help regenerate skin elasticity and provide lifting effects for the eye area and face line, as well as improve a double chin and neck wrinkles. Since each person has different facial features and skin thickness, we recommend having a thorough consultation with an experienced doctor and proceeding with the treatment that is appropriate for you.

The widely popular "Thermage CPT" across all age groups is a procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy to the dermis layer of the skin, contracting collagen and increasing skin elasticity. Through collagen regeneration, it can manage everything from fine wrinkles around the eyes to the overall facial line. Although there are individual differences, it has the advantage that the elasticity-enhancing effect can last for up to six months on average after a single treatment. It is also characterized by less pain and the ability to wash the face and apply makeup immediately after the procedure, allowing a quick return to daily life.

As such, dermatology laser lifting procedures differ in type and in the effects they are intended to achieve, so rather than blindly preferring popular procedures, treatment should be selected after sufficient consultation with an experienced dermatologist, taking into comprehensive consideration not only age but also the condition of wrinkles, the degree of skin sagging, and skin thickness.
