Sadang-dong Dermatology Clinic Facial Lifting Treatments: Ways to Lift a Sagging Face Without Surgery

Many people have felt concerned when comparing photos of their face from the past with their current appearance, noticing that the entire face seems to have sunk downward and that the areas around the eyes and cheeks look heavy and sagging. Some may also have felt that facial changes that had been hidden for a long time became more noticeable after returning to everyday life without masks. Among the people I meet in the consultation room, many say things like, “Surgery feels like too much, but I feel like I need to do something about my sagging face,” or, “I want to know what kinds of facial lifting treatments are available at a dermatology clinic.”

Facial lifting treatments deliver energy to the deeper layers of the skin without surgery to lift sagging tissue and restore elasticity. However, because the layers affected and the results vary depending on the equipment and method used, it is important to choose a facial lifting treatment suited to the cause and severity of sagging in your face. Today, I will explain in detail why the face sags and how to approach it effectively with facial lifting treatments.

Facial Lifting Treatments Are Needed Because of Structural Changes Within the Skin

Facial sagging is not simply a matter of loose skin. As we age, multiple structural changes occur at the same time: collagen in the dermal layer decreases, facial fat compartments move downward from their original positions, and the ligaments connecting the skin and fascia become loose. Cumulative ultraviolet damage and sudden changes in weight can accelerate these changes.

To improve a sagging face, it is necessary to deliver energy to each layer where these structural changes have occurred, rather than simply pulling the skin’s surface. Facial lifting treatments work by approaching the layers from the dermis to the fascia, restoring elasticity in each layer and lifting sagging tissue upward. Since the type and combination of facial lifting treatments vary depending on how much sagging is present and which areas are primarily affected, an accurate assessment should come first.

InMode Helps Manage Overall Facial Fat and Elasticity at the Same Time

Among facial lifting treatments, InMode is a device that delivers radiofrequency energy from the dermal layer to near the fascia. It can be expected to provide two effects at the same time: tightening sagging skin tissue and reducing unwanted fat. When sagging is felt throughout the face, the cheeks have descended, or the jawline has become less defined, dedicated tips suited to each area of the face can be used to deliver energy carefully, including to curved areas.

Because it tightens the skin while reducing fat, this facial lifting treatment is particularly suitable for people concerned about sagging cheek fat and a double chin at the same time. As collagen gradually regenerates after the treatment, you may feel that your facial contours become more defined and your skin elasticity improves over time.

Sculptra Enhances the Lifting Effect by Restoring Lost Volume

Sculptra can enhance the results of facial lifting treatments in a more three-dimensional way when performed alongside InMode to tighten sagging tissue. One aspect that many people overlook in facial lifting treatments is volume. One reason the face may look sagging is that the central cheek loses fat and appears hollow; in this case, it is difficult to expect three-dimensional improvement from lifting alone. Sculptra is an injectable treatment in which the PLLA ingredient is gradually absorbed in the dermal layer and stimulates collagen production, helping restore natural volume to hollow areas.

Rather than artificially inflating the area, it encourages the skin to produce collagen on its own, making it suitable for people who want natural-looking changes. A combined approach that tightens sagging tissue with InMode and restores lost volume with Sculptra can significantly improve the overall quality of facial lifting treatment.

Habits That Help Maintain the Effects of Facial Lifting Treatments Longer

Managing your lifestyle habits after facial lifting treatment can help maintain the effects for much longer. Ultraviolet rays destroy collagen and are a major cause of the lifting effect wearing off quickly, so applying sunscreen thoroughly when going outdoors is the most basic step. Immediately after treatment, avoid high-temperature environments and strenuous exercise, and refrain from strongly massaging or pressing the treated area. It is also helpful to pay attention to your sleeping position. If you always sleep on one side, the facial tissue on the side being pressed may undergo repeated pressure, which can cause the lifting effect to diminish more quickly. When possible, it is better to maintain a position lying on your back. Rather than considering facial lifting treatment a one-time procedure, the most realistic and effective approach is to manage it periodically and slow the progression of sagging.

Facial lifting treatment is a practical option for lifting a sagging face and restoring elasticity without the burden of surgery. Accurately identifying the cause and severity of sagging in your face and choosing a facial lifting treatment suited to it is the key to maximizing the results. If you have become increasingly concerned about a sagging face, consult a dermatology specialist to find a treatment plan suited to your skin. I will carefully help you find your way toward regaining a youthful, elastic appearance.
