If you feel that your facial contours have become less defined than before or that your skin feels looser when looking in the mirror, you may begin to take an interest in skin elasticity care. Various lifting devices have recently been used, but they should not all be considered the same type of lifting because the energy and mechanisms they use differ. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of each device and choose a method suited to your skin condition. At Seolleung Station Dermatology Clinic, we examine your skin condition through a thorough consultation and provide guidance on an appropriate lifting plan.

How is it different from conventional radiofrequency lifting?
Onda Lifting is a device that uses microwave energy, whereas conventional radiofrequency lifting uses radiofrequency energy. Since the energy used differs, there may also be differences in how heat is delivered and the areas to which it can be applied. Therefore, rather than simply considering whether a device is new, it is important to take into account the individual's skin thickness, fat layer, and areas requiring improvement. At Seolleung Station Dermatology Clinic, consultations are conducted after these factors have been carefully assessed so that the decision on whether to proceed with treatment can be made appropriately.

Characteristics of Onda Lifting
Onda Lifting is known for allowing a treatment plan to be designed around the areas that need attention. Rather than applying the same approach to the entire face, an application plan can be created by considering the areas of concern, which is why individualized consultation is important. Since both skin elasticity and the balance of the facial contours should be considered, undergoing a thorough diagnostic process can be helpful. Because the treatment plan may vary from person to person, consultation with a medical professional should come first.

Handpiece selection is also part of an individualized plan
Onda Lifting uses 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces, each of which reaches a different depth. This is why it is important to select a suitable handpiece according to the skin condition and treatment area. Since the approach may differ between thin-skinned areas and relatively thicker areas, an individualized plan is needed rather than a uniform treatment. At Seolleung Station Dermatology Clinic, treatment plans are created by comprehensively considering the characteristics of the face and the condition of the skin.

When consulting about Skin Botox as well
When considering skin texture or fine-line improvement along with elasticity care, some people also consult about combining Onda Lifting with Skin Botox. Since the two treatments have different purposes and application methods, it is important to first assess the individual's skin condition. It is advisable to plan only the treatments that are needed, and a thorough consultation can help determine the appropriate method. Whether to combine treatments should also be decided based on the medical professional's assessment.

Why consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is necessary
The outcome of a lifting treatment is not determined by the device alone. The process of creating a plan while considering facial proportions, skin condition, and the distribution of the fat layer is important. A board-certified plastic surgeon comprehensively assesses these factors and suggests an approach appropriate for the individual. At Seolleung Station Dermatology Clinic, we review the current condition of the skin and possible directions for improvement through a thorough consultation.

Points to consider when choosing a medical institution
When planning a lifting treatment, it is advisable to consider not only the equipment but also the consultation process, post-treatment care system, and ease of visiting the clinic. A medical institution located near a transit station can provide a relatively convenient environment for regular consultations or follow-up checks. Above all, it is important to communicate your skin concerns thoroughly and create a plan suited to them. At Seolleung Station Dermatology Clinic, we provide guidance on individualized lifting plans that take each person's skin characteristics into account, based on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
