Laser Lifting, How Much Do You Know?_Imi-seok Theme Dermatology at Sinsa Station

Hello, this is Imi-seok Theme Dermatology.

Recently, there have been many different lifting procedures available at dermatology clinics. I think many people are curious about what laser lifting actually is and what kind of results it can produce. Today, let’s talk about laser lifting, which first-time consultation patients often ask about!

How a Dermatologist at Sinsa Station Explains the Principle of Laser Lifting

1. What is the principle of laser lifting?

The face is broadly made up of five layers. Among them, the third layer, the fascial layer, surrounds the facial expression muscles and is connected from the scalp to the neck. As we age and skin aging begins, this layer loses elasticity, causing the jawline to sag and neck wrinkles to form. At this point, when many people begin to notice sagging in the cheeks, jaw, and under the eyes, they start looking into laser lifting procedures.

Laser lifting works by stimulating the dermal layer and fascial layer of the skin to form collagen and create tightening effects. This helps smooth wrinkles, lift sagging skin, and improve dull skin, fine lines, and skin texture.

2. There are so many kinds of laser lifting...

Laser lifting can be broadly classified into three types based on the principle.

Ultrasound	Radiofrequency	Other lifting
The principle is to gather multiple low-intensity ultrasound waves (HIFU) at one point, strengthen them, and then generate heat at the concentrated small point to treat the area. It targets the fascial layer without damaging the skin and lifts sagging skin.	The principle of lifting is to deliver heat deep into the skin using radiofrequency (RF). The thermal energy reaches the subcutaneous fat layer, stimulating fat cells to promote fat breakdown and blood circulation, while also promoting collagen production.	Laser lifting using laser light. In general, three wavelengths—755nm, 810nm, and 1,065nm—are used appropriately. Because the wavelength is long, energy penetrates to the dermal layer, producing a strong lifting effect and immediate improvement.

Recently, as the types of laser lifting continue to increase, choosing the laser lifting that suits your own skin is essential. Above all, it should be performed through a dermatologist with abundant clinical experience.

Because there are so many different methods, a customized plan should be made according to each person’s skin concerns! Rather than following procedures that many other people do, it is important to choose the treatment that is right for you through 충분한 상담.

3. I’m afraid because there are so many reviews saying it hurts... is it okay?

In general, when people think of laser lifting, they may hesitate because of pain, swelling, or bruising. Recently, to address these concerns, cooling systems and anesthesia techniques have continued to improve.

Titanium lifting, which has recently been very popular, is a representative lifting procedure that reduces pain. Through a cooling system with a cooling method, it lowers the epidermal temperature and reduces the burden of pain to the point where it can be performed without anesthesia. Onda lifting also reduces the burden of pain because it does not damage the epidermis or stimulate the pain receptors on the outer skin.

As with any procedure, some pain may be felt, but pain can be reduced through various methods, so there is no need to worry too much. As I always say, the results can vary depending on the skill of the practitioner! To reduce anxiety about pain, it is better to check whether the clinic has extensive medical experience rather than simply looking for financial advantages.^^

4. Please tell me the recommended lifting procedures by age

In your 20s to early 30s, skin elasticity is relatively high, so minor shortcomings can be supplemented through simple procedures such as Botox or fillers. However, for people in their mid-30s to 40s, aging begins in earnest. If skin has been continuously cared for, it may be improved with simple procedures, but if not, it is better to also manage the skin itself.

Please note that if procedures are performed indiscriminately without considering your skin condition, side effects such as hollow cheeks or burns may occur, so caution is needed.

Even if it is the same laser device, the results can differ depending on who performs the procedure and how. Imi-seok Theme Dermatology, made up of the top 2% of dermatology specialists in Korea, uses a variety of laser lifting treatments appropriately and provides customized, area-by-area consultations by assessing skin condition, sagging, and the thickness of the fat layer.
