Encore 3D Lifting: What Unexpected Effects Does It Have? A Look Through Research

Encore 3D Lifting,

What unexpected effects does it have?

A look through research

Hello. I am Kim Jin-hyeon, the chief director of You&I Clinic Mokdong branch.

As we get older, there comes a day when we suddenly

notice that the contours of our face in the mirror

are not quite the same as before. If the skin around the eyes,

or the cheeks,

and the elasticity of the jawline no longer feel like they used to,

it is natural to think of the word "lifting." But once you start looking into lifting

procedures, there are so many types that it can easily become confusing.

Thread lifting, ultrasound lifting,

radiofrequency lifting, and

you often see the term

"laser lifting" as well. What actually works,

and what about safety?

Today, focusing on the device called Encore

3D Lifting,

we will look at the different types of lifting procedures

a nd what kind of "unexpected" effects were seen in actual clinical reports,

and answer your questions.

1. What are the types of skin 'lifting'?

Lifting procedures can broadly be divided into invasive and

non-invasive methods.

A representative invasive example is thread lifting.

This method inserts special threads into the skin

and physically pulls it upward,

which has the advantage of producing a relatively fast effect,

but because it involves penetrating the skin,

some people feel uncomfortable with it.

In addition, because the results depend on

the provider's technique,

careful selection is necessary.

On the other hand, non-invasive methods include

de vices that use radiofrequency energy (for example:

Oligio, Thermage), ultrasound energy-

based devices (for example: Ulthera, Shurink), and

lifting devices that use extreme shortwave methods (for example:

Onda lifting).

These do not directly invade the skin but instead

stimulate the dermis through energy,

inducing collagen production.

Because they place less strain on the skin,

they are preferred by many people since they can still

produce steady effects over time.

However, radiofrequency and ultrasound lifting are

often broadly referred to as "laser lifting,"

but in fact they work on completely different principles.

Real "laser lifting" refers to a procedure performed

with a laser device that has wavelengths, and recently

Encore 3D Lifting and similar devices

have become well known representatives.

2. What is 'real' laser lifting?

Encore 3D Lifting

When people hear "laser," they usually think of

pigment treatments such as melasma or blemishes,

but in fact it is also used for lifting.

Encore 3D Lifting is a technology that simultaneously

uses multiwavelength lasers at 755, 808,

and 1064 nm,

and it is differentiated from existing devices in that

it can deliver heat not only to the dermis but also to

the periosteum beneath it.

Hypothetical Role of Multiwavelength Diode Laser (755, 808, and 1064 nm) in Addressing Bony Resorption in Facial Aging: A Clinical Commentary

This study introduces the device's mechanism of action

and clinical effects. According to the study,

the heat delivered by this device (approximately 43 to

46 degrees Celsius) stimulates the periosteum,

promoting the activity of osteoblasts, the cells that form bone,

and as a result, it was reported that it may induce

regeneration of the facial skeleton.

This is an important part of maintaining the facial contours

that diminish with age.

*Before treatment: the thickness of the cortical bone on the left was 3.4 mm

(±0.91 mm), and on the right it was 3.14 mm (±0.49 mm)

*After treatment: after 3 months, the thickness of the cortical bone on the left increased

to 3.51 mm (±1.17 mm),

and on the right increased to 3.37 mm (±0.91 mm)

As an example, in a 70-year-old female patient,

16 treatments were performed over 4 years,

and an increase in the thickness of the cortical bone in the jaw area was observed on radiographs.

Of course, this study was a Clinical Commentary based on a single patient,

so it has limitations such as a lack of sample size and a control group,

but it is interesting in that it suggests Encore 3D Lifting may have positive effects

beyond simply improving the elasticity of the outer skin,

potentially even affecting bone structure.

3. Precautions for 3D lifting

Although the procedure is said to be simple, because energy is delivered deep into the skin,

it is important to follow the precautions before and after treatment carefully. Immediately after the procedure,

redness or swelling may occur, but in most cases it will subside naturally. However,

for 3 to 4 days after the procedure, avoid strenuous exercise,

saunas, alcohol, and smoking, and refrain from pressing or rubbing your face too strongly.

When washing your face, gently cleanse with cold water

and minimize friction. When going outside, you should

apply sunscreen thoroughly.

In particular, because bruising or pigmentation may occasionally occur depending on the skin type or the intensity of the procedure,

it is essential to have 충분한 상담 before treatment

to check your skin condition and the appropriate laser settings.

Lifting is not simply a procedure that makes the skin tighter;

it is a treatment that must consider the overall structural balance of the face.

Encore 3D Lifting uses multiwavelength lasers to stimulate

deep layers,

so it can be described as a different approach from existing

radiofrequency or ultrasound lifting.

As confirmed in the study, the fact that it may affect bone structure

beyond simple lifting is something worth looking forward to through

more research in the future. If you are considering a lifting procedure,

please carefully examine everything from the principles to the safety,

and approach it slowly in a way that suits you.

Thank you for reading this long post.
