Do You Know the Differences Between Lifting Treatments in Seocho-gu?

Hello, this is 이지함피부과 Gangnam Branch.

We begin each day by quietly observing the faces of those who walk through the clinic doors. Among them, there is one question we have been hearing particularly often lately: “Doctor, there are so many types of lifting treatments that I don’t know what’s what. Which one is right for me?”

Today, we would like to answer this question step by step. In particular, if you are considering a lifting treatment in Seocho-gu, this article may be practically helpful in establishing your criteria for making a choice.

There was a patient in her 40s who had been visiting several dermatology clinics for a few years. She said, “I’ve been going from place to place for several years now, but I only look slightly better right after a treatment, and it soon feels like everything starts to sag again. Did I choose something incorrectly?” Hearing her say this was truly heartbreaking. In fact, concerns like these are often less about the treatment itself and more about not having received proper guidance on an approach suited to one’s own skin condition.

Not all lifting treatments are the same. Ultrasound and radiofrequency methods differ in both the depth and the way they deliver energy to the skin, and depending on the degree and cause of sagging, one method may be more suitable than another. If you follow popular treatments without understanding this, you may invest considerable time and effort yet fail to experience the change you hoped for. Therefore, when considering a lifting treatment in Seocho-gu, we recommend starting by understanding the condition of your own skin.

Lifting Treatments Differ Depending on the Method

Ultrasound lifting delivers thermal energy in pinpoint areas to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate the tissue, making it useful when sagging has become relatively pronounced. Radiofrequency lifting, on the other hand, broadly transfers warmth to the dermal layer and the fascia layer beneath it, helping to reorganize the collagen structure more densely. To use an analogy, ultrasound is like pinpointing and pulling up sagging areas, while radiofrequency is more like gently smoothing an entire piece of fabric with a steam iron.

써마지FLX is one of the devices 대표 of this radiofrequency method. While cooling and protecting the skin’s surface, it selectively heats the inside to contract collagen fibers and promote the production of new collagen. The fact that it can be performed without incisions or noticeable treatment marks is another reason many people take an interest in it.

However, as mentioned earlier, there is no single correct answer that applies equally to everyone. Depending on skin thickness, the degree of loss of elasticity, and age, combining ultrasound and radiofrequency treatments may often lead to better results.

How to Care for Your Skin After Treatment

After receiving a lifting treatment in Seocho-gu, aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself. For about one week after treatment, avoid activities that expose your skin to intense heat, such as saunas or Korean-style heated rooms, and apply plenty of sunscreen. Staying hydrated and getting sufficient sleep can also support the process of producing collagen again.

The effects generally begin to appear gradually between 4 and 12 weeks, and many people notice changes around 2 to 3 months afterward. Please do not be overly impatient; give it time and observe the changes.

The Doctor Answers Your Questions Directly

Q1. Is 써마지FLX very painful?

A. It varies depending on an individual’s pain tolerance, but you may feel warmth and slight prickling in the treatment area. If needed, numbing cream can also be used to reduce discomfort.

Q2. Can I receive both ultrasound lifting and radiofrequency lifting?

A. Yes, it is possible. Since the two methods reach different layers, they often complement each other when performed together. However, we recommend deciding on the sequence and interval after examining your skin condition.

Q3. How long do the effects last?

A. There are individual differences, but they generally last around 6 months to 1 year. After that, the duration may vary depending on your lifestyle and level of care. Consistent moisturizing and sun protection can help maintain the effects.

Q4. I’m in my 20s. Can I still receive a lifting treatment?

A. Of course. When sagging is not severe, many people choose to begin gently as a preventive measure. However, in such cases, other forms of care, such as skin boosters, may be more suitable, so we recommend discussing the direction together during a consultation.

Every person’s skin is different, and even when the concern is the same, its characteristics can vary. If you are considering a lifting treatment in Seocho-gu, we recommend starting by understanding the condition and causes of your own skin rather than following trends or advertising copy.
