Why Individual Consultation is Necessary

When choosing a lifting procedure,

the information most people first look for

is usually related to the number of shots and cost of a specific treatment.

However, lifting procedures are an area that is difficult to decide based solely on the type of equipment or number of shots.

This is because each individual's facial contour, skin layer condition, and the progression of aging are all different.

“The causes of sagging skin vary from person to person.”

Some people may notice their cheeks appearing to sag downwards,

while others may feel their jawline has become less defined.

Some may also hear that their face looks tired due to hollowness around the eyes or below the cheekbones.

These phenomena are not simply caused by a decrease in skin elasticity,

but are complex issues involving the inner dermis, fat layer, the fascia (SMAS layer) surrounding the muscles,

and even subtle changes in the facial bones.

Therefore, even with the same lifting procedure, a ‘customized approach’ tailored to the individual is crucial.

Let's look at a few examples.

If your jawline is blurred and you're concerned about a double chin?

This might be due to a weakening of the SMAS layer, which acts as a supportive structure, rather than just a surface skin issue.

In such cases, treatments that deliver energy to deep skin layers,

such as ultrasound lifting (e.g., Shurink, Ultherapy), can be considered.

If the area below your cheekbones appears hollow and your face generally feels saggy?

This often happens when skin elasticity decreases, causing the fat layer to shift downwards.

Thread lifting or high-frequency lifting (e.g., Inmode, Forma) that delivers thermal energy to the dermis can be helpful.

If your face generally looks swollen and your contours are not well-defined?

This could be caused by swelling and poor lymphatic circulation.

In such cases, procedures focused on improving the fat layer and lymphatic circulation, like Onda lifting, can be considered.

If you have fine wrinkles around your eyes or drooping eyebrows?

This area has thin skin, requiring delicate and precise treatments rather than strong stimulation.

High-frequency lifting treatments using a 1.5mm tip, such as Shurink or Oligio, can be suitable options.

“Where and how” the treatment is performed is more important than “how many shots.”

For example, even if two individuals receive the same 300 shots of Shurink,

one person might experience satisfactory changes,

while another might not feel a significant difference.

The reason is clear.

It's because the treatment area, depth, and applied energy settings are all different.

Lifting procedures go beyond simply using a device;

they require expertise in accurately understanding each individual's facial structure and creating a customized plan.

For these reasons, at our clinic, we “start with a customized plan for each individual” before treatment.

At our clinic, we do not consider lifting procedures to be a simple process.

First, we three-dimensionally analyze the patient's face,

accurately identify which skin layer is causing the current issues, and then,

We carefully plan the equipment, treatment method, necessary number of shots, and treatment depth to suit your individual condition.

Therefore, even for the same Shurink treatment, some individuals might find 200 shots sufficient,

while others might need 400 shots.

Sometimes, thread lifting might be a more suitable option than Shurink.

Every person's face is unique.

Therefore, personalized design is crucial for lifting treatments.

From our medical team's perspective, it might be easier to simply say, "Use this device for X shots."

However, we believe it's much more important for patients to understand what concerns them about their face,

and to know how these can be improved.

Lifting treatments aren't just about using a set 'number of shots';

they begin with a deep understanding of each individual's facial characteristics and personalized planning.

Rather than focusing on the treatment name itself,

we aim for lifting treatments that are carefully planned based on your unique facial condition.

You're welcome to simply receive a consultation without any obligation.

We will discuss in depth with you what your current facial condition is, and in what direction it can be improved in the future;

our medical team will thoroughly discuss it with you.
