[Dermatology Specialist Lee Yudeuk]

Hello,

A place that creates a comfortable face rather than excessive change.

This is Ijiham Dermatology.

Creating a comfortable face rather than excessive change—that is the treatment philosophy we pursue. Today, for those who are concerned about skin sagging and reduced elasticity as they enter midlife, I would like to explain how midlife lifting with Doublo can help.

After passing the mid-40s, many people feel unfamiliar with the reflection in the mirror as the jawline becomes less defined and the cheeks begin to sag. We want to accept natural aging, but a face line that changes abruptly can understandably lower confidence. Wanting treatment but worrying it may look unnatural—I completely understand that feeling.

A beauty consultation that is beneficial

I am dermatologist Lee Yudeuk.

Why does midlife skin sag?

After the mid-40s, the skin

clearly goes through changes.

As menopause approaches,

estrogen, the female hormone,

decreases, and as a result collagen

production is reduced.

The skin gradually becomes thinner,

drier, and loses elasticity.

In particular, as the SMAS layer,

a fascial layer, weakens, the entire

face begins to sag downward.

This is why the jawline becomes

less defined and nasolabial folds

become deeper.

This is not simply a problem of the

epidermis, but a structural change

that begins in the deeper layers of

the skin.

That is why midlife lifting with

Doublo is an approach that

fundamentally addresses these deep

layer issues.

A lifting approach that targets the SMAS layer

Doublo is a lifting method that uses

HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused

Ultrasound technology.

Like concentrating sunlight with a

magnifying glass, ultrasound energy

is focused on a single point deep

within the skin to generate heat.

This thermal energy reaches the

dermis and SMAS layer without

affecting the skin surface,

contracting collagen and promoting

its normalization.

Right after the procedure, you may

feel some degree of tightening,

but the real changes appear between

4 and 12 weeks.

As new collagen is formed within the

skin, elasticity gradually improves,

and you can experience satisfying

results after 2 to 3 months.

Three reasons I recommend Doublo

Many people ask,

"There are many lifting methods,

so why do you recommend Doublo?"

The reason I often recommend

midlife lifting with Doublo is clear.

First, it is a non-invasive method

that does not injure the skin surface.

Because the recovery period is short,

in most cases you can return to

daily life on the same day, and

washing your face and wearing

makeup are generally possible.

As it is performed privately by me,

a female doctor, in a discreet space,

you can receive treatment with a

comfortable 마음.

Second, Doublo Gold allows precise

control of the depth at which energy

is delivered, making it possible to

customize the procedure according to

each person's skin thickness and

degree of sagging.

Third, it produces natural changes.

Rather than an abrupt transformation,

the skin gradually regains elasticity

over time, helping you look more

lively while keeping your own facial

features.

Procedure and precautions

Before the Doublo procedure, the

areas with significant sagging are

identified through an accurate

diagnosis.

Energy is delivered intensively to the

jawline, cheeks, and forehead line,

and the procedure takes about

1 hour.

You may feel a slight tingling

sensation around the bones, but it

is generally tolerable.

Immediately after the procedure, you

may feel a slight tightening of the

skin, which is a normal response.

To maintain the lifting results and

achieve better changes, aftercare is

very important.

For one week after the procedure,

you should avoid saunas,

jjimjilbangs, and excessive exercise.

This is because heat-related刺激 can

interfere with recovery.

The importance of consistent care

Sun protection is essential.

Sunlight destroys collagen and

accelerates skin aging, so you

should carefully apply sunscreen

with SPF50 or higher.

Adequate water intake and moisturizing

care also help collagen production.

The results of midlife lifting with

Doublo vary from person to person,

but generally last about 6 months to

1 year, and regular maintenance is

recommended to preserve them.

You can experience a facial line that

has changed without being excessive,

but is clearly noticeable.

That is natural change.

A journey toward natural beauty

Skin concerns in midlife are not

solved simply by removing one wrinkle.

This is because multiple issues are

intertwined, such as overall skin

structure sagging, reduced elasticity,

and volume loss.

Midlife lifting with Doublo addresses

these fundamental issues and creates

the healthiest, most vibrant face at

your current age, rather than trying

to turn back time.

Lifting is not magic; it is a process

that helps the skin regenerate on its

own.

That is why it does not end with a

single procedure, but requires

consistent attention and care.

With honest treatment and proven

methods, Ijiham Dermatology’s promise

is to be a place you can trust for a

long time.

We want to walk with you on the

journey of aging without fear and

becoming naturally beautiful.
