Laser lifting

Can I keep getting it?

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Haengdang-dong!

Anti-aging has already become a part of our lives. The biggest part of the anti-aging keyword is none other than "laser lifting." Recently, it has appeared so often in TV, YouTube, and other media that many people have become interested in it. So today, we prepared this post, and we hope you’ll refer to it before getting lifting treatment :)

The most common question

There are several questions people often ask about lifting. Questions such as, "If I keep getting lifting treatments, will my skin age more quickly?" or "Does it only work while I’m receiving it, and won’t my skin suddenly age if I stop?" Is that really true?

"If the intensity is appropriate, it’s good for the skin."

To start with the conclusion: receiving the procedure consistently at a level that is not excessive is very safe. And from a long-term perspective, it of course helps skin health. Simply put, you can think of it as similar to managing your health through regular exercise.

Q. Is periodic lifting safe?

• An appropriate intensity is very safe.

• Beneficial for skin health in the long term

The most common question

Hormesis?!

Have you ever heard of the concept of hormesis? Hormesis is a Greek word meaning "to stimulate" or "to promote." The hormesis effect refers to "a phenomenon in which an appropriate amount of toxin or stimulation helps a living organism grow." In other words, the same stimulus can have either a positive or negative effect depending on its intensity!

Laser lifting stimulates your skin cells, and various reactions occur through that stimulation. Therefore, if the intensity of the stimulation is appropriate, your skin will change in a direction of regeneration and recovery. On the other hand, if the intensity is too strong, it will instead damage the skin, right?

• An appropriate amount of stimulation helps growth

• For the same stimulus, the intensity matters

Hormesis?!

What should you do?

Then the key question is, "How can we maintain the appropriate intensity?" To satisfy this, it is best to keep receiving treatment from the same doctor. It should not be a one-time procedure, but rather something managed over a long period at an appropriate intensity.

Second, you should choose a trustworthy doctor in charge and a reliable dermatology clinic. Even with the same procedure, the results differ depending on who performs it. Many of you will likely agree with this. Since this is about finding a primary doctor who will take care of your skin for a long time, I urge you to make your decision carefully.

What should you do?

Today’s conclusion

Today’s conclusion is as follows!

0

Various anti-aging treatments, including laser lifting! There is absolutely no problem with receiving them consistently over a long period of time! However, as mentioned earlier, maintaining the proper intensity is important. Therefore, the key is to make a long-term plan and find a good doctor who can help bring it to reality.

In addition, you should not try to create a dramatic change in just one or two anti-aging procedures. Even if the change looks big right after treatment, over time it may instead lead to significant side effects. Please keep this in mind as well.

<Today’s conclusion>

• No problem with receiving it for a long time and consistently

• However, a long-term plan is needed

• Not excessive, at an appropriate intensity

Today’s conclusion

3 types of lifting

It would be a pity to end it here, so I’ll wrap up this post by introducing a few laser lifting treatments. One ultrasound lifting treatment and two radiofrequency lifting treatments! If sagging is severe, I recommend Ulthera lifting, which uses ultrasound. It can effectively improve a double chin or sagging in the lower cheeks.

If overall skin elasticity has decreased and enlarged pores or fine wrinkles are a concern, I can recommend radiofrequency lifting. Recently introduced options include Density High and Potenza! Using radiofrequency, they promote collagen regeneration in the dermal layer, helping to quickly restore skin elasticity. Each has its own strengths, so it is hard to rank them, but I hope you find the lifting treatment you truly need through a consultation with a specialist doctor!
