2 Things You Should Never Miss Before Getting Sylfirm in Hongdae

Hello. I’m Dr. Jo Wonjin, and I’ve been seeing patients for 10 years.

It hasn’t been long since Sylfirm was released,

so how do you find a good clinic?

It’s natural to worry about that as soon as a new device comes out.

You may also worry that, because there isn’t enough treatment data, your face could end up being the test case.

This was when I received a content award from the Sylfirm headquarters this year.

As the first to introduce Sylfirm in Mapo-gu,

and as I steadily introduced it to many people while handling a variety of cases myself,

I found that this device has a much wider spectrum than I expected.

Many people usually think of Sylfirm only as a simple skin elasticity device, similar to Thermage.

However, depending on how it is designed, Sylfirm is a treatment that can deliver results beyond that.

With the topic, “2 Things You Should Never Miss Before Getting Sylfirm in Hongdae,”

I’ll explain how to prevent side effects and the characteristics of a place that performs the treatment properly.

1. Is it designed with gravity and fat distribution in mind?

In lifting procedures, it is no exaggeration to say that design determines more than 80% of the result.

People usually get Sylfirm in Hongdae while lying down,

but in fact, our faces are most affected by gravity when we are standing.

Even if the face looks flat while lying down, the moment you stand up, fat shifts downward,

and the nasolabial folds or sagging jowls that were hidden can suddenly become more noticeable.

The cheek fat in the gray area rises into the yellow area when lying down, making the sagging area less visible.

Sylfirm is not a device that directly reduces fat as much as Ulthera does.

But when the thermal energy is concentrated, it can change the volume of fat.

If shots are placed in the wrong areas without proper design,

fat may be reduced from areas that actually need volume, causing hollow cheeks,

or the facial line may collapse, creating a more aged appearance.

A hollowed cheek depression, like the cheek in the photo on the right, can occur.

That is why I always carefully examine the face from multiple angles while the patient is seated before treatment.

I need to accurately identify how much each area has sagged depending on the direction of gravity,

and where there is concern about cheek hollowness, then reflect that in the treatment plan.

From the consultation stage itself, checking whether the clinic carefully reviews these detailed points

is a reliable way to avoid lifting treatment failure.

A detailed consultation before treatment is essential. Especially while seated!

2. Does it respond properly according to my skin type?

Hongdae Sylfirm uses the same radiofrequency principle as Thermage,

but it is not a device that produces only one simple effect.

Depending on the different skin concerns or areas,

it has dedicated modes divided very finely so they can work in the most appropriate way.

As shown in the photo above, there are 4 tips and 3 modes.

If you think about applying them by area, skin thickness, and concern, the combinations become much more numerous.

Q. Isn’t Sylfirm only good for thin skin?

No.

I mentioned before that it is especially good for people with thin skin,

but even people with thicker skin can see results with Sylfirm.

For those whose skin sags because of heavy volume,

and who also want to improve enlarged pores or rough skin texture, it is also an excellent option.

People usually worry that radiofrequency effects will be reduced if the skin is thick,

but by using Sylfirm’s specific modes well, heat can be delivered deeper than the dermis,

allowing the stretched skin foundation to be firmly strengthened.

A Sylfirm treatment in progress

In fact, this is the kind of thing that requires a large amount of accumulated data to maximize the effect even when treating a new face.

Even with the same device, the results can change a lot depending on which mode is used for which skin type and how the energy is distributed.

So when you have a consultation, it’s a good idea to ask the doctor who will perform the procedure whether they have similar cases.

Also, if you’re spending the same amount, there may be a treatment that is better suited to your face than Sylfirm.

That is why it is good to find a clinic that can honestly recommend the treatment that is more beneficial for you.

Since the story may get long, I have separately organized how to choose a good clinic in the article below.

Key summary of what not to miss about Sylfirm in Hongdae

• Power of accumulated data: Check whether the clinic has enough Sylfirm treatment experience to accurately find the mode that matches your skin concerns

• Three-dimensional design: Do not treat immediately while lying down; check whether the design considers gravity direction and fat distribution when seated

• Honest consultation: Check whether they properly recommend the treatment that is more suitable and cost-effective for you

Because this is not only a matter of time and money, but also a procedure being performed on your face, you will likely look into it more carefully.

Please review the above criteria carefully and receive treatment safely at a clinic that provides honest care.

Thank you. This was Dr. Jo Wonjin.
