Shinsa Station Thread Lifting: Want to Improve Its Longevity?

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, chief director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.

As the weather gets colder, skin becomes dry and cracked, making it feel like aging is progressing more quickly.

That is because in chilly temperatures, the skin becomes dry and moisture retention is not maintained sufficiently.

When moisture is lacking, it also affects cell regeneration, making it easier for elasticity to decline and wrinkles to form.

In addition, facial skin is weaker than other areas, so it is more prone to wrinkles. When it is exposed to cold wind and becomes irritated, the skin barrier can break down and accelerate aging.

Today, for those concerned about aging, let’s look at ways to restore elasticity.

Why do wrinkles occur?

Wrinkles form because of sagging skin.

The skin is made up of the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, and fascia from the outside inward.

The epidermis protects the body from external irritation, the dermis helps maintain elasticity, and the subcutaneous fat performs functions such as regulating body temperature.

Among these, the causes of wrinkles are related to the following three factors.

First, as aging reduces the amount of proteins that maintain elasticity, the skin can no longer keep up with muscle movement.

Second, internal fibrous tissue becomes loosened and can no longer support the weight of fat.

Third, swelling caused by moisture within the fat layer can also be a cause.

A place that performs lifting differently by age group

As you get older, changes also occur in the face.

The areas where aging appears most are mainly around the facial muscles used when making expressions.

That is why wrinkles are likely to form on the eyelids, around the eyes, the forehead, and around the mouth.

Aging begins to progress in your 20s.

At first, fine lines appear rather than sagging, and there is not much of a noticeable difference.

In your 30s, you begin to feel aging in earnest, and from your 40s onward, changes in the face start to become noticeable.

As you enter your 50s, the proteins and fat layer within the skin decrease, leading not only to wrinkles but also a gradual decline in elasticity.

And in your 60s, elasticity declines more rapidly, and overall sagging can change the appearance of the face.

How can sagging skin be improved?

As noted above, the speed of aging differs by age group, so the improvement methods also vary.

Also, changes caused by aging are difficult to improve with self-care alone, so care from a plastic surgery clinic is needed.

If you are in your 20s to 30s, you can manage skin elasticity through non-surgical methods.

Commonly performed options include lasers, Shinsa Station thread lifting, and lifting injections.

In your 40s to 50s, surgical lifting can improve sagging, and upper and lower blepharoplasty or forehead lifting may also be performed together.

And if you are over 50, a facelift can improve wrinkles and elasticity.

What is thread lifting?

Non-surgical methods include those that use lasers or ultrasound.

Ultherapy, which is managed with ultrasound, stimulates the SMAS layer to promote protein production within the skin and contract loosened areas.

If you want a more noticeable change than Ultherapy, the option you may choose is Shinsa Station thread lifting using medical threads.

The thread-based method provides support not only in the dermis but also once more in the fascia layer, allowing even stretched retaining ligaments to be secured, so you can clearly see improved elasticity.

Also, it is performed under local anesthesia without incisions, and because the procedure takes about 30 minutes and can last for more than six months, if you want visible improvement, please visit our clinic, where experienced medical staff perform the procedure.

What is a facelift?

Up to your 40s, wrinkles can be managed with thread lifting, but if aging progresses further, improving wrinkles with Shinsa Station thread lifting alone becomes difficult.

At this point, a facelift can be performed, and it is not simply a method of smoothing only sagging skin, but one that raises support by tightening areas heavily affected by gravity.

Once you pass 60, many changes occur in the face, causing the entire face to sag and develop a frowning appearance.

A facelift is a method that improves a frowning appearance, forehead sagging, cheek sagging, and a double chin by pulling the fascia and cutting stretched retaining ligaments.

At our clinic, with extensive experience focused on lifting, we help reduce scarring by performing precise dissection that follows the tissue layers and removing only the retaining ligaments that need to be cut.

What if thread lifting and a facelift are combined?

We have looked at Shinsa Station thread lifting and facelifts.

When the degree of sagging is severe, a thread-based method alone has limitations, so performing thread lifting after a facelift can help with management more effectively.

If you undergo a customized procedure in this way, you may feel more visible fixation than with a standalone procedure, and it is also easier to maintain longer-lasting results.

The procedure method is individually customized through consultation, and we help provide tailored lifting according to the area of concern.
