Types of Lifting Lasers, Effects by Age Group, and How to Choose

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Leeting Plastic Surgery.

I think everyone wants to live a youthful and healthy life.

Reflecting this desire well, the technologies and markets for lifting laser types, anti-aging cosmetics, and facelifts continue to develop and expand.

As we age, if sagging skin and increasingly deep wrinkles become a concern, we naturally start thinking about lifting procedures or facelifts.

However, because facelifts involve incisions and laser lifting requires repeated treatments, many people hesitate.

Today, I’ll provide detailed information to help you choose the lifting option that is most reasonable and beneficial for you.

Variety of laser procedures

Laser procedures use energy to deliver heat into the dermal layer of the skin, with the advantage of promoting collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and restoring skin elasticity in a short time.

There are several lifting laser types you can try, depending on the method or principle.

First, “Ultherapy,” which many people have heard of at least once, is a procedure that helps lifting by using ultrasound.

It delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin to actively promote collagen production, is performed non-invasively, and has the advantage of being applicable to various areas such as the face, neck, and jawline.

Next is “Thermage,” which delivers radiofrequency energy to both the skin surface and the dermal layer to promote collagen regeneration.

Thermage is applied not only to the face but also to various areas such as the abdomen, and it improves not only skin elasticity and wrinkles but also skin tone and texture.

Drawbacks of laser procedures

There are many types of lifting lasers, and one advantage is that you can see the results of the procedure immediately, without the burden of an incision.

However, middle-aged and older clients may not feel fully satisfied because the results are not dramatic.

In addition, some people prefer a facelift even if it involves surgery, because the need for repeated periodic maintenance can be troublesome.

In particular, expensive laser lifting types such as Ultherapy and Thermage, mentioned earlier, are not one-time treatments, so they can also create a financial burden.

For this reason, many middle-aged and older people inquire while considering a facelift.

What is a facelift?

As the word suggests, it is a surgery that lifts the skin of the face.

Among the various procedures and methods used to improve decreased elasticity and sagging skin, such as radiofrequency lifting and thread lifting, it is a surgery that delivers high satisfaction and results.

It not only lifts a sagging face, but also improves deep wrinkles and allows you to immediately see a more youthful appearance thanks to firmer elasticity.

However, because it is a surgery that involves incisions on the face, the burden to accept is also significant, so you should carefully check the medical staff’s skill, the surgical environment, and the satisfaction of existing clients before making a decision.

For satisfying anti-aging results

If you choose a facelift to regain a younger, more lively appearance, detailed communication with the medical staff is necessary before the surgery.

You need to carefully discuss whether you want the results to look natural or want strong improvement, which areas you are concerned about, and how post-procedure care will be handled.

When consulting with clients, our clinic explains many aspects, including the clear meaning of a facelift, the surgical process and method, and the expected results.

We also recommend the appropriate method according to each person’s goals, current condition, and overall state.

Even after a facelift, you can continue to maintain your youth by receiving periodic care and choosing the lifting laser type that suits you best.

Are you torn between laser lifting and a facelift?

Both options require careful and thorough planning and procedure to achieve satisfying results.

In particular, if the medical staff has extensive experience performing a wide variety of lifting-related procedures and surgeries over a long period of time, concerns about risks can be reduced and a higher level of satisfaction can be achieved.

If you are wondering whether laser lifting or a facelift would be more helpful for you, please feel free to contact our clinic and start with a consultation.

Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
