If You're Considering Lifting at Jamsilnaru Dermatology, Be Sure to Read This

Hello.

This is Jin-Young Lim, Chief Director of PIAF Clinic.

“Lately, I have more wrinkles and my skin feels saggy..”

You may have been looking into a Jamsilnaru dermatology clinic because of these concerns.

Lifting is a procedure many people seek to improve wrinkles and elasticity.

There are various types, such as Ulthera, Thermage, Shurink, and InMode.

“What do I need?”

In today’s post, I’ll explain the main types of lifting, including how they work, their effects, and side effects.

If you spend just 3 minutes and read to the end,

you’ll be able to judge for yourself what treatment you need and what kind of clinic you should visit to get proper results.

Ulthera, Thermage, and Shurink explained in a way even an elementary school student can understand. Jamsilnaru dermatology clinic If you're considering lifting, be sure to read this

The representative lifting devices are Ulthera, Thermage, and Shurink.

All three help improve wrinkles and sagging.

I’ll explain one by one what the differences are.

Ulthera

Our skin is made up of 5 layers.

The epidermis, dermis, fat layer, fascia layer, and bone.

Ulthera is a procedure that applies ultrasound energy (HIFU) to the fourth layer, the fascia layer.

This energy creates tiny injuries in the fascia layer, which is about 4.5 mm below the face.

Cells that are injured respond by thinking, “I need to produce collagen!”

Collagen is widely known as an ingredient related to firm, elastic skin.

As we age or are exposed to a lot of ultraviolet light, the cells that produce collagen stop working properly.

At this point, if ultrasound from Ulthera is used to create tiny injuries in the cells,

collagen is gradually produced, and as a result, wrinkles and sagging begin to improve.

Shurink

Next, let’s talk about Shurink.

Shurink works on the same principle as Ulthera.

It applies ultrasound energy (HIFU) to the cells to induce collagen production.

However, the energy intensity is weaker than Ulthera, and the precision is also somewhat lower.

To explain simply,

Ulthera uses a powerful laser to deliver strong and precise stimulation to the deep area where lifting is needed.

Shurink uses a weaker laser, so the stimulation is less intense than Ulthera and the precision is also a bit lower.

For these reasons, Shurink is cheaper than Ulthera, causes less pain, and its effects are also somewhat weaker.

In the long run, Ulthera can be seen as the option with more reliable results, even though it is more expensive.

Thermage

Lastly, let me explain Thermage.

Thermage is a procedure that delivers radiofrequency (RF), not ultrasound, to the skin.

If Ulthera and Shurink are more like focusing on one point, Thermage spreads more broadly.

For example, if Ulthera and Shurink are like using a magnifying glass to concentrate sunlight onto one spot,

Thermage is more like sunlight spreading out widely and gently warming the entire skin surface.

In fact, Thermage does not reach a depth of 4.5 mm; it can only reach the dermis and the shallow fat layer, between 3 mm and 4 mm deep.

However, the effect itself is similar.

It uses heat energy to create tiny injuries in the cells and induces collagen production.

As a result, it can help with wrinkles and skin laxity.

Now you may be wondering this.

“Doctor, what do I need?”

Here are some guidelines.

Since it varies from person to person, please use this only as a reference. ^^

1. For people in their 30s to 50s with severe wrinkles and sagging, Ulthera is a good choice.

That’s because severe wrinkles and sagging mean

that the support structures that hold up skin elasticity need to be repaired properly first.

Only by addressing the ‘fascia layer,’ which supports the entire skin, can elasticity truly improve.

2. For people in their 20s to 30s with mild wrinkles and sagging, Shurink is a good choice.

Shurink causes less pain than Ulthera, and it is also more affordable.

Because of this, it is relatively 부담-free for people in their 20s as well.

It is mainly helpful for managing shallow wrinkles.

3. If you are over 40 and have many fine wrinkles, Thermage is a good choice.

Thermage can be very helpful for skin texture, elasticity, and fine wrinkles.

If the sagging is not severe, Thermage may be enough.

Now, before getting the procedure, I’d like to tell you what you must remember.

If you want to avoid side effects such as hollow cheeks or facial imbalance, please pay a little more attention.

There is a reason why the ‘direction’ matters. Jamsilnaru dermatology clinic If you're considering lifting, be sure to read this

The key to lifting is the ‘direction.’

It means that the heat energy, which creates tiny injuries in the cells and induces collagen production,

must reach the area that needs lifting accurately.

For example, let’s say there is a woman in her 40s whose left cheek sags more than the right.

What treatment would she need?

The heat energy should be applied more intensively to the left cheek, while balancing the elasticity and symmetry of the right cheek.

To do that, the correct direction and the necessary amount of energy must be applied.

If these detailed points are missed?

You may experience side effects such as hollow cheeks or facial asymmetry.

“You can just point it at the face and shoot, right?”

It may seem that simple, but that is not the case.

To set the correct direction, you need a good understanding of the facial anatomical structure.

Experience with the procedure is also important.

The thickness of the skin, the distribution of fat, and how different the sagging is on the left and right should all be checked in advance before the procedure.

Therefore, for those of you searching for a Jamsilnaru dermatology clinic,

please visit at least 3 places and check whether they carefully diagnose your facial condition and suggest the treatments you need.

That way, you can avoid becoming the person who says, “It didn’t work” or “I just wasted my money.”
