Why Gangnam Ulthermage Lifting Is Recommended

[Dermatology Specialist Lee Eu-deuk]

When you face a changed face,

look into EZHIM Dermatology.

No matter how consistently you use good skincare products, they only work on the surface and cannot reach the deeper layers of the skin. Today, I will explain why Gangnam Ulthermage lifting is recommended, focusing on the principles of the two energies and a skin-scientific approach.

Have you ever stood in front of the mirror in the morning and paused, thinking, ‘When did this happen?’ It’s clearly just an ordinary day no different from yesterday, but the cheeks seem to have dropped, the jawline has become less defined, and the skin under the eyes feels like it is sagging little by little.

Because this change does not happen suddenly, it can feel even more disheartening. In the clinic, I often meet people who visit with these concerns. Each time, I first think about how to help their face become comfortable again, naturally and without overdoing it. After the age of 40, collagen and elastin gradually decrease, and as the SMAS layer, the support structure within the skin, weakens, sagging slowly progresses.

Ultrasound and radiofrequency, a combined approach created by two energies What is good to understand first in Gangnam Ulthermage lifting recommendation is the combination of two energies.

Ulthermage is a combined lifting method that integrates ultrasound energy (HIFU) and radiofrequency energy (RF).

The name comes from the idea of using ‘Ulthera’ ultrasound and ‘Thermage’ radiofrequency together.

Ultrasound lifting is a method that delivers energy deeply to the SMAS layer (the fascial layer) without affecting the skin surface.

Like focusing sunlight with a magnifying glass onto a single point, the energy reaches only the target layer accurately and helps support collagen formation.

Radiofrequency lifting evenly delivers thermal energy throughout the dermis, contracting loosened collagen fibers and supporting new collagen formation.

It is easy to understand as a principle similar to firming up the dermis overall, like smoothing out loose fabric with an iron.

Because the two energies act at different depths, they stimulate multiple layers of the skin evenly, allowing for multi-layered positive changes.

Why a multi-layer approach is needed, starting from the layer where sagging begins

Why a multi-layer approach is needed, starting from the layer where sagging begins

Understanding the process by which skin elasticity declines makes it clearer why combined lifting is drawing attention.

The skin has the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat layer, and the SMAS layer is located deeper inside.

This SMAS layer serves as a support structure that connects the facial muscles and skin, and when this layer weakens, overall sagging begins to progress slowly.

Ultrasound lifting is a method that can directly deliver energy to this SMAS layer, so lifting effects can be expected starting from the root point of sagging.

Radiofrequency lifting delivers uniform thermal energy across a wide area of the dermis, creating an overall positive change in loss of elasticity and sagging.

Of course, each method can be applied on its own, but when the two are used together, there is a multi-layered approach from the skin surface to the deeper layers, so a more balanced change can be expected.

Radiofrequency complements the tension in the dermis, which ultrasound has difficulty reaching, and ultrasound plays a role at the depth of the SMAS layer, which radiofrequency alone has limited access to.

The key feature of the combined method is that the two energies complement each other’s limitations and act in a three-dimensional way throughout the skin layers.

This may be helpful for these people People who are recommended for Gangnam Ulthermage lifting share common features.

Their skin surface moisture and texture are somewhat managed, but the overall facial contour is becoming blurred and elasticity is starting to decline.

In particular, those who feel the area below the cheeks sagging, leading to deeper nasolabial folds, or those who feel the jawline is no longer smooth, fall into this category.

It also applies to those who notice changes such as the outer corners of the eyes and the area under the eyelids sinking downward, or those who say that even with consistent moisturizing care, the overall sagging of the face does not go away.

One of the characteristics of this method is that it does not greatly interfere with daily life after the procedure.

Temporary swelling or redness may occur immediately after treatment, but in most cases it subsides within a few days.

As collagen is gradually formed, you can expect the skin to become more refined over the course of several months.

Lifestyle habits after lifting help maintain the effect If you undergo lifting, we recommend also taking care of your lifestyle habits afterward.

For about one week after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid exposure to hot environments such as saunas and jjimjilbang.

This is because strong heat stimulation can affect the skin’s change process.

Sun protection is also very important. Ultraviolet rays promote collagen breakdown, so applying a sunscreen of SPF50+ or higher consistently without skipping it may help the effect last longer.

Drinking enough water each day and maintaining regular moisturizing care can also have a positive effect on keeping the skin in a healthy state.

Excessive drinking and smoking can interfere with collagen formation and accelerate skin aging, so it is better to reduce them if possible.

Regular sleep and a balanced diet can also help maintain skin condition.

Individualized care based on skin condition is key

At EZHIM Dermatology, Thermage is used as the radiofrequency lifting device, and Doublelo Gold, V-ro, and Shurink are used as the ultrasound lifting devices.

The reason it is important in Gangnam Ulthermage lifting recommendation to first fully understand the individual’s skin before deciding on the approach is that which device to use, in what order, and on which area and at what depth to apply it varies from person to person.

Skin thickness, degree of sagging, and elasticity condition differ from one person to another.

In some cases, a single method may be more suitable, and in others, a combined method may be helpful, so diagnosis tailored to the individual’s condition must come first.

Radiofrequency lifting acts overall on reduced elasticity in the dermis, while ultrasound lifting is a method that can bring about positive fascial-level changes in the SMAS layer.

The combination of the two energies is drawing attention because it is a balanced approach that targets everything from the skin surface to deeper structures.

Walking together through the gradual return to your own face If you are considering lifting, there is one thing worth thinking about.

“Which part of my face am I most concerned about right now?”

The degree of sagging, skin thickness, and elasticity condition vary from person to person, and even with the same Ulthermage method, a diagnosis and approach suited to the individual’s skin are important.

At EZHIM Dermatology, we continue treatment in the direction of recommending what is actually needed rather than unnecessary methods.

Because this is a method that helps support the formation of collagen and positive changes in the skin’s support structure, while helping the face return to itself without going overboard, we approach Gangnam Ulthermage lifting recommendations with the same mindset.

Our wish at EZHIM Dermatology is to help create a face that is comfortable and natural, rather than an excessive change, and to walk together through the process of gradually returning to your original face.
