Five Customized Treatment Approaches by Concern from a Dermatologist in Seongdong-gu [Deep Wrinkles, Fine Wrinkles, Skin Texture, and More]

Customized Care by Concern

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Seongdong-gu!

Skin aging progresses differently for each person, both in the areas affected and in the way it appears. For some, deep forehead lines are the main concern, while others are stressed by reduced elasticity around the mouth or fine lines around the eyes! Because of this, there are limits to addressing various signs of aging with just one method. It is necessary to closely assess the characteristics of each area, the depth of the wrinkles, and the condition of the skin tissue, then plan appropriate care accordingly. Today, we will take a detailed look at representative customized care options for the areas that many people worry about:)

Forehead and Glabellar Wrinkles

First, deep wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows often form due to long-term repetitive use of facial muscles. In particular, if you have a habit of frowning between the eyebrows or raising your forehead upward, the skin folds in that direction and gradually creates deeper grooves! To improve these fixed wrinkles, a method that controls muscle movement and a process that fills in the sunken areas must be carried out at the same time.

Botox temporarily controls the activity of the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, helping prevent them from becoming deeper. In addition, for wrinkle grooves that are already deeply etched and clearly visible, fillers containing hyaluronic acid are used to physically fill and smooth them out! Rather than simply flattening the surface, smoothing the three-dimensional contours can make the expression look softer and cleaner.

• Botox: Helps prevent wrinkles from deepening

• Filler: Smooths and levels the skin surface

• Improves the contours of the glabella and forehead / Creates a softer impression

Fine Wrinkles Under the Eyes and Around the Eyes

The skin around and under the eyes is much thinner than in other areas, so it is one of the first places where signs of aging appear. Because there are almost no sebaceous glands, it dries out easily, and frequent blinking creates an environment where fine lines can easily settle in~ For this sensitive area, delicate care that directly supplies nutrients to the skin and increases tissue density is key.

Expression lines at the outer corners of the eyes can be naturally softened by injecting a small amount of Botox to control muscle contraction. At the same time, for the weak skin tissue under the eyes, it is effective to improve the dermal environment using collagen products such as Rejuran. When sterilized pure collagen ingredients increase density inside the skin, the thinned skin around the eyes can gradually become firmer! It is a preferred combination when you want to brighten the eye area and restore elasticity naturally, without an artificial look:)

<Fine Wrinkles Under the Eyes and Around the Eyes>

• Botox: Controls fine muscle movement at the outer eye area

• Rejuran: Direct injection of sterilized collagen

• A two-procedure combination for three-dimensional improvement of fine wrinkles around the eyes

• Helps restore elasticity to thinned skin around the eyes

Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Folds

How should marionette lines that run downward beside the mouth and nasolabial folds next to the nose be managed? Both types of wrinkles occur when tissue affected by aging and gravity sags downward. The skin’s internal support ligaments weaken and the fat layer shifts, causing the silhouette of the lower face to collapse! In this case, a comprehensive approach that lifts the sagging tissue and replenishes lost volume is more appropriate than simply filling the wrinkles.

Ulthera delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound deep into the fascia layer of the skin, creating a lifting effect that contracts sagging tissue. It helps tighten skin that has lost support and pull it upward, contributing to a more refined overall contour! For deeply etched nasolabial folds or marionette areas, Juvelook Volume or fillers are used to add natural-looking dimension. Juvelook Volume stimulates the body’s own collagen production, and over time it blends harmoniously with surrounding tissue to create healthy volume.

<Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Folds>

• Ulthera: High-intensity focused ultrasound / Contracts the fascia layer

• Juvelook Volume, filler: Fills sunken areas with volume

• Lifts the midface and lower face / Softens deep nasolabial and marionette lines

Fine Lines and Elasticity Around the Mouth

For the fine lines that appear around the mouth, it is important to consider that this is an area with a lot of movement, such as talking and eating. If the skin becomes thin and the support structure weakens, vertical lines may form around the lips, or the overall elasticity may decline and make the area look rough! In areas with frequent movement like this, Radiesse can be an excellent option because it causes little foreign-body sensation while showing strong regenerative ability.

Radiesse is a product with CaHA ingredients that simultaneously stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the elastic fibers, in the lower dermis. At first, the gel component provides an immediate improvement effect, and later, as the ingredients are gradually absorbed, the body’s own tissue forms in their place, creating a firm support structure! A major feature is that it can adhere smoothly even in sensitive, highly mobile areas like around the mouth while reducing the concern of lumpiness or nodules. Through this, it can restore real elasticity around the mouth and soften rough skin texture:)

Overall Skin Texture and Inner Dryness

Just as important as wrinkles in specific areas is resolving overall skin texture and chronic inner dryness. The reason the skin feels dull and rough is that the extracellular matrix, or ECM, which supports the skin structure, has decreased and the skin environment has become depleted~ To rebuild this environment, the process must involve directly supplying the key substances that make up the skin and strengthening its basic vitality.

Ellabie Rituo improves the dermal environment by directly injecting ECM components essential for enhancing the skin’s self-renewal ability. It strengthens the thickness of thinned skin and rebuilds a weakened barrier, creating firmer skin that is more resistant to external irritation! In addition, combining this with high-concentration hyaluronic acid care such as HiloWave can deliver moisture deep into the skin and at the same time neatly improve fine wrinkles. When the skin’s regeneration cycle and moisture balance are normalized, positive changes may also be seen, such as natural improvement in small bumps and dead skin cells:)
