Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, the chief director of the Seoul branch of Leiting Plastic Surgery.
With the introduction of facial wrinkle lifting procedures that use lasers, the range of options for managing facial aging has greatly expanded.
Because this is a non-invasive way to manage aging, it places relatively little burden on the body, and many people are still using it today.
Many people also begin using it at a young age in order to look younger and keep their face looking youthful for longer.
Today, let’s take a comprehensive look at the various lifting methods and the pricing issues that come with them.

What are the advantages of laser lifting?
The reason people look into the price of facial wrinkle lifting procedures using lasers is that they are a major advantage in that they place little burden on both the body and the mind.
Also, from a short-term perspective, you can expect a certain level of results, so many people who have used it directly are satisfied.
However, in the long term, this method has limitations in improving the underlying signs of aging.
It can be helpful for managing skin from a relatively young age, but if you are expecting changes as you get older, it is unlikely to be worth the price.

What about middle-aged and older adults?
In fact, many middle-aged and older adults who use it after hearing about the price of facial wrinkle lifting procedures using lasers end up feeling unsatisfied.
Unlike younger people, their satisfaction is low, and some repeat the procedure thinking the reason they did not get proper results was the number of sessions, only to end up wasting money.
As mentioned earlier, middle-aged and older adults are already in a state where aging has progressed, so laser treatment, which is intended for periodic maintenance, is not enough.
Rather than repeating laser lifting that brings subtle results, a facelift that brings noticeable results at once may be more helpful.

A complementary relationship
It is also important to know that facial wrinkle lifting procedures represented by lasers and facelifts are not in conflict with each other, but rather complement each other.
This is because doing one does not prevent you from undergoing the other, nor does it interfere with the other.
Claims such as "If you get too many laser treatments, you cannot get a facelift" or "If you get thread lifting multiple times, you cannot get a facelift" are not true.
You can choose either one, and you can also do them together, but efficiency changes depending on the order and the number of times.

Why a facelift is recommended first
Laser lifting is helpful for ongoing maintenance, so after a facelift it can help maintain the skin in a tightened state.
If the skin is already sagging, repeating laser treatment will not achieve major results, but if the skin has already been tightened, it can help maintain that state.
If you are deciding between repeating laser lifting and getting a facelift, it is more cost-effective to get a facelift first and then manage it with lasers afterward.

Economic efficiency
You should not forget that the prices of facial wrinkle lifting procedures such as Ulthera and Thermage are not actually cheap, and they have to be repeated at regular intervals.
If the skin is visibly sagging, you have to increase the number of sessions and the intensity, which inevitably adds more burden in many ways.
If you first undergo a facelift and then combine it with ongoing maintenance, you will likely be able to maintain a youthful appearance more efficiently than with other methods.
At our clinic, we help patients receive lifting treatments through a variety of methods according to the treatment area and age group, so please feel free to visit us with peace of mind.
Be younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
