Mokdong Lifting: Does It Really Work?

Mokdong Lifting

Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of U&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

"My facial line is gradually becoming less defined.."

"Fine lines are increasing a lot.."

When people often notice fine lines around the eyes and mouth, and feel that the overall facial line is not what it used to be, many think, “So aging is starting.”

And naturally, they start looking into lifting procedures.

But the results vary so much from review to review that many people hesitate.

So today, I’d like to explain in simple terms what laser lifting is and what you should check to get proper results.

The principle of laser lifting

Laser lifting is a method that delivers energy deep into the skin without incisions, encouraging the skin to recover on its own.

The key point is that it does not forcibly pull the skin; instead, it induces elasticity recovery within the skin’s structure.

Laser lifting is divided into radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound (HIFU) procedures.

The two methods act on different layers and use different mechanisms, so they may be chosen according to your skin condition or used together.

Radiofrequency lifting works by generating heat in the dermal layer of the skin.

This heat stimulus temporarily contracts collagen, helping new collagen form and improving skin density and thickness.

As a result, you can expect positive effects such as reduced fine lines, improved skin texture, smaller pores, and overall elasticity recovery.

On the other hand, ultrasound lifting delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy to a deeper layer called the SMAS layer (the fascia layer).

This is the layer that is also lifted in facelift surgery, and by stimulating it without incisions, it helps refine facial contours, improve the jawline, and reduce sagging.

Because radiofrequency targets the skin’s surface and middle layers, while ultrasound targets deeper layers, combining the two appropriately may produce a more three-dimensional lifting result depending on the case.

How can you get proper results?

Many people choose lifting procedures based only on the name or brand of the device, but in fact, who performs the procedure has a much greater impact on the result.

The face is not a structure made up of just “skin.”

There are different layers, including the dermis, subcutaneous fat, fascia layer, and the muscles beneath them, and their thickness, position, and density vary from person to person.

Therefore, anatomical knowledge is very important when deciding where, how deep, and how much energy should be delivered.

Even when using the same device, different results are inevitable depending on the practitioner’s understanding and experience.

Lifting procedures are difficult to complete with high quality using only a single device.

For example, someone concerned about forehead wrinkles and someone worried about a double chin require completely different treatment points and energy levels.

That is why experience in designing the right combination of various devices for the patient’s facial structure and concern areas is important.

With this kind of customized approach, natural yet satisfying results can be created.

Today, I wrote this article to help those interested in Mokdong lifting.

If you are 고민하고 계시다면 about lifting, rather than blindly following a procedure that worked well for someone else, it is important to find a solution tailored to your own face.

Before deciding on a procedure, I recommend 충분히 consulting with the medical staff to find the method that suits you best.

This has been Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of U&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

Thank you.
