Lifting at a Dangsan dermatology clinic,
how can you choose the right treatment for you?
(Department: Dermatology)

“There are so many types of lifting treatments.
How can I know which treatment is right for my face?”
When looking into lifting treatments, many people feel overwhelmed because there are so many different names, such as Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX, and they do not know which one to choose.
Since this process can be so complicated, quite a few people have said they simply want to receive the same treatment that produced results for someone around them.
However, when considering lifting, you should not look at the device first.
It was important to first understand the current condition of your skin in order to determine the right treatment direction.
From now on, I will explain in detail why this is important and the steps for choosing the right lifting treatment.

Finding the Real Problems with My Face

The many skin structures that change as aging progresses
Actual facial aging involves various factors, including a decrease in skin thickness and collagen, changes in the amount and location of subcutaneous fat, and changes in the deeper soft tissues.
Therefore, it was necessary to consider all of these factors together to determine which lifting method was right for me.
For example, the approach was completely different for someone whose jawline had weakened because the deeper tissues had sagged despite having little facial fat, compared with someone whose skin itself had become thinner and less elastic rather than having significant deep sagging.

Therefore, when looking into lifting treatments, the first step should be to thoroughly check the skin thickness, amount of fat, and areas where sagging is most noticeable.
This process can help induce the lifting effect you want more efficiently while reducing the possibility of unnecessary side effects.

Finding the Energy That Is Right for Me
After the assessment, we would determine which depth to target and how to target it.
Generally, depending on the type of energy used in a lifting treatment, the direction and depth in which stimulation is delivered, as well as the effects that can be expected, varied somewhat.

U&I’s Ultherapy Prime at a Dangsan dermatology clinic
For lifting treatments based on ultrasound, such as Ultherapy Prime,
focused stimulation was delivered to relatively deep layers to help improve firmness.
For this reason, it was often used when the loss of support in the SMAS layer caused problems with the overall facial contours.

On the other hand, when relatively superficial changes appeared, such as an increase in fine lines and enlarged pores caused by thinning skin,
radiofrequency-based lifting treatments such as Thermage FLX were often more suitable.
Radiofrequency tended to focus on collagen contraction and production by delivering heat evenly and broadly to the dermal layer.
In other words, if deep sagging is prominent, ultrasound may be considered first; if reduced firmness of the skin itself is the main concern, radiofrequency may be considered first. Comparing the options in this way can make it easier to distinguish which treatment your skin currently needs more.

Making the Final Decision by Considering
Pain, Results, and Recovery Time
However, even when people have the same concern, the more suitable option may differ depending on additional factors such as pain, desired results, and recovery time.
If you are sensitive to pain, you should determine the type of treatment after checking the level of heat or pain felt during the procedure and the available methods of pain control.

If you have an important event coming up, you should also consider the possible post-treatment reactions, such as redness, swelling, and bruising, as well as the recovery period.
The budget is another consideration.
Rather than simply choosing a lower-priced treatment, you should compare whether it is truly the treatment needed for your current concern and how many sessions are expected to be necessary.
Only by considering these factors together can you more accurately assess satisfaction in relation to cost.
Please remember that you can receive more satisfying lifting care by carefully considering all of these factors before making your choice.
So far, we have looked step by step at how to choose the right lifting treatment at a Dangsan dermatology clinic and the process involved.
