Hello,

This is 포레나의원. 😊

"Are all lifting treatments

painful in the same way?"

Before treatment, many clients

always wonder which device is less painful

and how much pain they can expect.

Today, I’ll briefly share the key points about

pain levels by treatment category

and compare the pain levels of major treatments. ✨

The 'pain level' that concerns people most

every time they receive a treatment

"I do want to get the treatment,

but I’m afraid it might hurt too much."

"Which device is the least painful?"

There are so many types of treatments,

from lifting treatments to skin boosters,

and although the names may be familiar,

many people hesitate and search only for reviews

because they do not know how painful each device will be.

So, with this one post, I’ll compare the pain levels

of major treatments at a glance! ✨

However, pain may vary depending on the anesthesia method

and your individual skin condition,

so please use this only as a general reference. 😊

Lifting Treatment Pain Comparison

From comfortable treatments to powerful results

When planning a lifting treatment,

the first thing you are probably concerned about

is 'pain.'

Because each device

uses a different principle and stimulation method,

it is a good idea to check in advance

which level is right for you.

The treatment that can be received most comfortably

with the least concern about pain is

Onda Lifting ★.

With minimal skin stimulation, comparable to a warm sensation,

even those who are especially sensitive to pain

can receive it comfortably.

Next, Oligio ★★

also produces only a slight warm sensation,

making it a relatively easy treatment to undergo.

Treatments accompanied by a moderate level of pain include

Thermage FLX, Shurink (HIFU),

and InMode FX ★★★.

Because energy is delivered deep into the skin,

you may feel slight tingling,

heat, or pain that feels like pinching,

depending on the treatment area.

However, the pain is generally tolerable

after applying numbing cream,

which is why these treatments are among

the most commonly chosen options.

Finally,

the treatment considered to have one of the highest pain levels

is Ultherapy Prime ★★★★.

Because powerful ultrasound energy reaches

the fascial layer,

it can involve a heavy, aching pain.

However, it offers visibly noticeable improvement

in sagging, so it has a strong following

among people who continue to receive it

even while accepting the discomfort.

Skin Booster Pain Comparison

A period of patience for becoming more beautiful

Skin boosters fill the skin thoroughly

with moisture and nutrients from within.

Many skin boosters involve directly injecting active ingredients

into the dermal layer through injections,

so some degree of stinging is unavoidable.

Skin Booster Pain Comparison

The mildest treatment to start with is

Exosomes ★.

It is considered to involve very little pain,

and Juvelook ★★, which helps promote collagen production,

also has a relatively low pain level,

making it a good option for those trying skin boosters

for the first time.

Treatments with a moderate level of pain include

standard glow injections, Chanel injections,

and Rituo (Re20) ★★★.

Because multiple injections are made into the thin surface of the skin,

you may feel a sharp, prickling sensation,

but the treatment does not take long,

so the discomfort is generally manageable.

A treatment that requires a little more mental preparation

is Skin Botox (Dermotoxin),

as well as the filler Juvederm.

★★★★

A fairly significant aching and stinging pain may be felt,

and your eyes may even water slightly during the treatment.

However, you can see immediate pore tightening

and improvement in fine lines,

so satisfaction is very high.

The undisputed champion of pain

is, of course, Rejuran ★★★★★.

Because of the particle size of its active ingredients,

the heavy, aching pain that feels like it is pushing its way in

is felt most strongly.

However, thanks to its distinctive regenerative effect,

which fundamentally restores the damaged skin barrier,

it is often considered the number one

'magical treatment that hurts a lot,

but keeps bringing you back because of the results.'

Enduring pain is not the only answer.

Everyone has a different skin thickness

and a different sensitivity to pain,

so it is best to have a thorough consultation before treatment

to find an approach that addresses your skin concerns

while reducing the burden as much as possible.

At 포레나의원,

we do our best to make the process of becoming more beautiful less difficult

through personalized anesthesia and delicate treatment.
