How to Choose the Right One for You

오목교피부과

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, the head doctor at UNNI Clinic Mokdong.

"There are too many types of lifting..

What should I check first?"

Many of the people I meet in the clinic lose sleep over changes in their facial line.

Lifting is not simply the act of raising sagging areas, but a process of delivering energy by closely analyzing each person’s skin thickness and fat distribution.

Today, to answer your questions, I’ll organize the representative lifting methods.

Ultrasound targeting the deep layers of the skin

Ultrasound lifting is a method that focuses energy at a specific depth to stimulate the fascia layer deep within the skin.

The process of delivering energy while checking the layers inside the skin in real time is more important than anything else.

Ulthera

Devices such as Ulthera are characterized by delivering energy while directly observing the target area through a visualization device.

Shurink Universe also uses a similar principle and is a device that helps improve overall elasticity.

However, applying the same intensity to everyone is not the answer.

For people with little facial fat, there is concern that a hollowed-cheek effect may appear after the procedure.

That is why, before the procedure, it is necessary to carefully check each person’s amount of fat and skin thickness and adjust the depth and intensity of the energy.

Understanding your own condition first is the key point to increasing satisfaction.

Radiofrequency methods that increase dermal density

Radiofrequency lifting is based on the principle of delivering a uniform feeling of heat to the dermis layer of the skin, encouraging the skin to regenerate collagen on its own.

Thermage FLX plays a role in smoothing rough skin texture through fine thermal stimulation and firmly building up density from within.

It is a method often chosen by people whose skin is thin and sensitive and who feel a loss of elasticity quickly.

If you are very concerned about pain during the procedure, the InMode method is also widely preferred.

InMode is divided into the Forma mode, which uses radiofrequency energy, and the FX mode, which combines radiofrequency with high-voltage pulsed energy (HVP) to target the fat layer.

InMode

Because there is little swelling after the procedure, it can be a relatively comfortable option for people who need to return to daily life right away.

However, if the skin is too thin, caution is needed regarding heat stimulation, so careful adjustment according to the condition must be supported.

Thread lifting that physically fixes the contour

If you want to immediately tidy up a noticeably collapsed contour, using medical absorbable threads may be an effective method.

It is a method in which medical threads such as Jamboseul or cog threads are inserted into the skin to physically hold up sagging areas.

As the threads slowly dissolve, they help promote collagen production around them, so the advantage is that natural elasticity is added over time.

Some people worry that the threads may show through or that they may feel a foreign-body sensation.

These symptoms can occur when the procedure is performed excessively without considering each person’s skeletal structure and skin thickness.

Therefore, a plan that precisely sets the direction and depth of the threads should come first, and I recommend approaching the procedure with a relaxed schedule, taking into account the temporary pulling sensation that may appear immediately afterward.

Today, for those looking for information about Omokgyo Dermatology, I explained the lifting-related points you should know.

For lifting, the priority should be checking your current skin condition and making a plan that fits it, rather than focusing on the name of the device.

Since this is an area where individual differences can occur, I recommend creating a customized plan through a thorough diagnosis.

This has been Kim Jin-hyun, head doctor at UNNI Clinic Mokdong.

Thank you.
