'It feels like my skin has lost some elasticity.

Can I just get a lifting treatment?'

It is a natural change for skin elasticity to decrease as we age.

However, the reasons for reduced elasticity can vary from person to person.

In some cases, the skin may appear less elastic because the moisture within it has decreased. In others, the cause may be a reduction in collagen or weakened structural support due to aging.

Therefore, properly identifying the reason for the current loss of elasticity is the first step toward achieving satisfactory results.

From now on, I will explain in detail how the treatment approach may change depending on the pattern of reduced elasticity.

  • Various reasons for reduced elasticity

  • What if age-related loss of elasticity is progressing?

Various Reasons for Reduced Elasticity

  1. Lack of Moisture

When the skin does not contain enough moisture, its surface can become rough and fine lines may increase.

As a result, skin lacking moisture tends to feel as though it has lost elasticity.

In other words, even if the skin's underlying structure has not yet sagged significantly, its overall condition may decline, making it feel as though it has lost a considerable amount of elasticity.

  1. Aging

In contrast, loss of elasticity caused by aging shows a considerably different pattern from symptoms caused by insufficient moisture.

As collagen and elastin decrease and the structures supporting the skin weaken,

various factors—including changes in the position of fat and reduced support from the SMAS layer—can act together,

often causing the overall facial contour to lose definition and deep wrinkles to develop in various areas.

In other words, age-related loss of elasticity involves simultaneous changes across multiple layers of the skin, making customized treatment suited to the affected layer important.

What If the Skin Lacks Moisture?

If the main cause of reduced elasticity is insufficient moisture in the skin, it is necessary to first improve the skin's moisture environment before undergoing a lifting treatment.

A treatment that may be considered in this situation is Skinvive, a skin booster.

Skinvive

Skinvive is a skin booster containing hyaluronic acid and lidocaine. By supplying moisture directly to the dermal layer, it may help improve skin texture and fine lines.

In addition, this process may have a positive effect on collagen production within the skin tissue, potentially contributing considerably to improved elasticity.

It may be an option worth considering when dryness is the biggest concern or when restoring the overall condition of the skin takes priority over lifting.

What If Age-Related Loss of Elasticity

Is Progressing?

For those whose skin structure itself is sagging due to aging, it may be necessary to begin with a lifting treatment.

However, the appropriate lifting treatment varies depending on the layer where sagging has occurred.

Ultherapy Prime at Shinchon U&I

If sagging of the SMAS layer is the primary cause, Ultherapy Prime may be helpful.

It uses focused ultrasound to deliver energy to the deeper layers of the skin and may help improve facial support and sagging contours.

Thermage FLX at Shinchon U&I

On the other hand, if reduced elasticity in the dermal layer is the primary concern, Thermage FLX may be a better option to consider first.

Radiofrequency energy delivers heat evenly throughout the dermal layer, inducing collagen regeneration and potentially helping improve elasticity, fine lines, and skin texture.

In some cases, sagging may occur as fat gradually descends.

Onda Lifting at Shinchon U&I

In such cases, beginning with Onda Lifting may be a more appropriate approach.

This treatment selectively delivers energy to the fat layer using microwave energy and may provide natural contour refinement and a lifting effect.

The treatment needed may vary depending on the extent and rate of aging and the layer where the problem has occurred.

Therefore, if you are considering a lifting treatment to improve elasticity, be sure to receive a thorough examination first.

Shinchon U&I

Loss of elasticity does not occur for the same reason in everyone, so simply undergoing a recommended treatment in Shinchon does not necessarily lead to satisfactory changes.

Because the appropriate treatment may differ depending on whether the cause is insufficient moisture or aging of the SMAS or dermal layer,

it is advisable to determine your treatment approach only after having a sufficient consultation with an experienced medical professional.

If your current condition is carefully assessed and a customized treatment plan is established accordingly, you should be able to expect stable changes.
