What is the appropriate lifting procedure for my skin?
Everyone wishes for skin that looks younger than their actual age; it's a common desire. I feel the same way.
As I enter my 40s, I am increasingly worried about my face losing elasticity, but why are there so many types of procedures?
It's really difficult to choose which procedure is suitable for me.
Lifting refers to the procedure of pulling up sagging skin caused by aging. It can be broadly divided into surgical and non-surgical methods.
There are many types of lasers that help improve facial wrinkles and elasticity, so it can be quite difficult to determine which laser is suitable for me.
So, who needs lifting procedures?
Since each individual's skin condition and skin type are all different, not all lifting procedures will produce the same results for everyone.
It is most important to thoroughly assess my skin condition, have sufficient consultation, and find the appropriate treatment method for my skin condition before receiving any procedures.
So, what kind of lifting procedures are there?
1. Ultherapy
It is one of the laser procedures using high-intensity ultrasound that penetrates into the muscle fascia layer where high-frequency waves have difficulty reaching, delivering energy at various depths to improve skin elasticity from the deep layers upward.
2. Thermage
This is a laser procedure that uses high-frequency energy to cool the epidermis and generate heat in the dermal tissue, thereby lifting skin elasticity. The high-frequency energy stimulates collagen, increasing skin density, and can also expect effects such as pore reduction and skin tightening.
3. InMode
A laser procedure that delivers heat deep into the skin using high-intensity high-frequency energy and high-voltage stimulation, inducing the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid by applying heat to the deep dermis layer, thereby reaching the subcutaneous fat layer to remove unnecessary fat.
4. Sofwave
Using SUPERB technology for ultrasound lifting procedures, this laser treatment delivers strong energy evenly at a depth of 1.5mm where the dermis is located beneath the skin, inducing collagen production. It causes minimal nerve damage, making it suitable for those who find lifting procedures burdensome due to thin skin.
Since each piece of equipment has different characteristics, it is essential to understand the features of the equipment well and choose the most suitable procedure that is necessary for my skin to achieve the best results.
I will carefully consider and find out which procedure is suitable for me from now on.

- 01CommentsAs someone with dry skin myself, I totally relate to the feeling of my cheeks and the corners of my mouth sagging by the afternoon. I'm really tempted by Oligio because it's minimally painful and allows for immediate return to daily activities, but I'm also super curious to see how effective it will be for dry skin! I'll be taking note of your helpful reviews and advice as well. 💕461126.11.03
- 02CommentsIt seems that the price of lifting procedures varies significantly depending not only on the type of equipment but also on the number of shots, the treatment area, and whether genuine tips are used. Rather than just looking at promotional prices, it is advisable to verify the actual scope of treatment, additional costs, and the experience of the medical staff. Along with the price, it is important to compare whether the procedure is suitable for your skin condition.320026.11.02
- 03CommentsIt is something to be cautious about when determining a recovery period based on comparisons with others. It is good if the recovery is faster than expected, but if it is delayed, it can lead to difficult situations.340026.10.30
- 01CommentsThere is absolutely no need to undergo multiple combination procedures right from the start. If you are concerned about a sagging jawline or a double chin, try ultrasound first; if your goal is to reduce fine lines on the skin surface and improve skin firmness, try radiofrequency equipment alone. I recommend visiting at least two or three clinics to find one that offers a single procedure without unnecessary treatments. Please compare thoroughly, and I hope you make a decision you are satisfied with.411026.10.28
- 02CommentsI also looked into this after getting the procedure, and I found that with lifting creams, it is more important to observe how hydration and skin elasticity change over consistent use rather than focusing on the immediate improvement. If you are concerned about sagging around the mouth or wrinkles, it is a good idea to look into products containing peptides or ceramides, and start with a small amount of a product that suits your skin well.540026.10.18
- 03CommentsThe treatment approach for nasolabial folds may vary depending on the degree of hollowness and the extent of cheek sagging. If the grooves themselves are deeply indented, filling them with fillers is effective for immediate improvement. On the other hand, if the wrinkles are caused by sagging cheek skin, lifting them with Ultherapy or thread lifting provides a more natural look. I recommend consulting with a clinic to accurately determine the cause and making a comprehensive decision.481026.10.29
- 01CommentsI see you were very curious about the downtime for the Onda Lifting procedure due to concerns regarding jawline elasticity. While individual differences exist, the Onda Lifting generally causes minimal bruising or swelling, so only slight redness usually occurs on the day of the procedure. You can apply makeup and resume your daily activities without any issues the following day, so please feel free to schedule a consultation.841026.10.09
- 02CommentsIf it were me, I would start by getting the procedure that is your top priority. If your biggest concern is sagging facial contours, I would recommend Ultherapy; if you are more concerned about dull skin, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, I would suggest consulting about Thermage first. Then, observe the results for about two months and proceed with treatments to address any remaining issues. Rather than getting both procedures at once, I think it is better to try one first, taking your skin condition into account!952126.10.21
- 03CommentsI also looked for lifting creams before getting a consultation. I could definitely feel the hydration when I applied them, but I didn't really notice any significant improvement in my pores. However, since consistently moisturizing and taking good care of your skin's condition through sun protection helps, I think it would be a good idea to start with home care rather than expecting dramatic results.520026.10.18
