hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. The crooked front teeth that catch my eye every time I look in the mirror, the teeth that bother me every time I take a picture… These days, I have these concerns 'Can't I just fix my front teeth quickly?' There are so many people asking questions. Especially on SNS Partial front teeth correction As before and after photos spread, Short period of time and economical cost There are also more and more people who make decisions based on just what they see. However, if you start simply believing that it will “finish quickly,” you may end up experiencing a change in your impression or discomfort. So today For whom is partial front teeth correction effective and what should be considered? Let me explain clearly from a professional perspective. . 1. Why do my front teeth become more and more misaligned? ✨For the arrangement of front teeth Congenital factors + changes in gum condition can influence each other. As we age, many people notice that their front teeth are gradually becoming misaligned. There are two main reasons for this. 🔸 congenital factors When the size of the teeth and the size of the jaw do not match If the jaw is narrow and the teeth are large → the teeth overlap and are arranged Conversely, if the jaw is large and the teeth are small → gaps between the teeth 🔸 acquired factors As the gums weaken, their ability to support the teeth decreases. Accordingly, the teeth can move slightly and deform. ✔️ So, it is actually quite common to simply say, “It was a good fit originally, but it suddenly seems to be wrong.” 2. What are the advantages of partial front teeth correction? ✨ The biggest appeal of partial front teeth correction is that it focuses on correcting only the necessary areas! Partial correction of front teeth is literally The problem is A method of attaching orthodontic devices to only 6 to 8 front teeth no see. ✔️ The treatment period is short Although full correction often takes 1-2 years or more, Partial correction can be completed in a relatively short period of time. ✔️ It's less expensive Fewer teeth to attach the device to Economical compared to full correction ✔️ There are few inconveniences in life.

Is partial front teeth correction really a treatment that 'everyone' can do? ✨The most important point in partial front teeth correction is “securing space.” Partial correction of the front teeth is a treatment that is difficult to say is 'unconditionally possible'. no see. The biggest variable is Space securing problem no see. ⚠️ Please remember this! To align teeth, they need 'space' to move. If only the front teeth are corrected without moving the molars → Protrusion may occur, causing the teeth to appear to extend forward. To compensate for this, very fine grinding is done between the teeth. 'Interdental deletion' There are cases where it is in progress, If excessive, discomfort such as tooth numbness may occur. This can happen. ✔️ So rather than just starting by hearing “it’s easy” or “you can definitely do it”, Consultation with a specialist and precise diagnosis first no see. 4. I recommend partial front teeth correction to these people! From a professional perspective, partial anterior orthodontic treatment is particularly helpful in the following cases: If your teeth are slightly crooked If there is a very small gap between the front teeth If the entire dentition is fine, but only one specific tooth is protruding ✔️ That is, If the problem is localized and centered around the front teeth It could be a good choice. FAQ Q1. Can protruding teeth or a protruding chin be corrected with partial correction? A1. If there is a skeletal problem or a complete occlusion adjustment is required. It may be difficult to resolve this with just partial correction. It is recommended that you consult a dentist to get an accurate diagnosis. Q2.

What happens if I don't like the results after partial correction? A3. If there is not enough space A situation that requires a full correction again This may happen. So your first choice is very important. Conclusion - The most important thing is to check if it is “right for me”. Partial correction of the front teeth is definitely necessary Attractive treatment in terms of time, cost, and inconvenience no see. But in actual treatment When full correction is more appropriate There are quite a few. ✔️ It's good to prepare like this before treatment Get consultations from at least 2-3 dental clinics Check with a specialist to see if treatment is right for your situation.

Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyeok. As I get older Fine lines, sagging skin, enlarged pores Have you started to worry about this? These changes are As the deep dermis layer of the skin weakens It is a phenomenon that occurs. Since it gradually deepens if left untreated, the timing of when you start treatment is really important. Fortunately, there is a procedure that directly stimulates the dermis layer to restore skin firmness. Today, the leading representative of high-frequency lifting Volneumer I will explain everything about it in detail—from the principles and comparisons with Ulthera to the procedure and precautions—based on stories from actual treatment sites! ✨ What is the difference between Volneumer and Ulthera? Even for the same lifting procedure, the types of energy and the layers of action are completely different. Many people think that lifting procedures are all the same, but actually Energy used and target layer This is different. 🔹 Ulthera (ultrasound lifting) Using ultrasonic energy, the deepest layer of the skin Delivers energy to the SMAS layer do. It is specialized in "lifting." It is effective for those with sagging cheeks, deep cheek fat, and jawlines. 🔹 Volneumer (High-frequency lifting) Using high-frequency energy, the shallow layer of the skin Delivers heat to the dermis layer do. It works on the principle of making the skin firm and tight, just like ironing. It is specialized in improving fine lines, pores, and elasticity. 📌 To summarize: Ulthera · Shurink = Lifting / Volneumer = Lifting that attaches to raised areas and tightens. Therefore, receiving both procedures together targets different layers, so synergy effect It's good! ✔️ Who is the Volneumer procedure suitable for? 📢 The effects vary depending on your skin type and concerns. So, who are the people for whom Volneumer is particularly suitable? 🔸 People with thin skin, visible blood vessels, and flushing — Effective for those with a thin dermis 🔸 Those who feel their fine wrinkles are increasing — Also suitable for preventive care 🔸 For those concerned about fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and nasolabial folds 🔸 For those with enlarged pores and reduced elasticity 🔸 For those who want to improve their skin texture along with Ulthera or Shurink ⚠️ However, Pacemakers or cochlear implants The procedure is difficult for individuals with internal electronic devices. Gold teeth and braces do not have a significant impact, so please be sure to inform the medical staff before the procedure. How is the actual procedure performed? 📢 After designing the grid pattern, stack the columns step by step. Before the procedure Grid pattern design on the face Draw it first. Since the ball tip is square-shaped, this is a process to ensure it enters evenly without any gaps. 🔹 Energy level Adjust between 0.5 and 5, usually starting at level 3 to 3.5. 🔹 Procedure method First, heat is applied to the surface using the Moving method, and then the heat is concentrated on the core using the Stack method. 🔹 Procedure time It is relatively short, taking about 20 minutes for 600 shots and about 13 minutes for 400 shots. 🔹 Characteristics by body part Areas close to bone, such as around the mouth or cheekbones, may feel slightly hotter. The outer skin is also relatively more sensitive, and the forehead area actually feels less hot because it receives lower energy. ✔️ The reason for performing the procedure without anesthetic cream Since Volneumer is a heat-based procedure, it is difficult to perceive the degree of heat if your senses are dulled. The pain itself isn't that severe, so it is bearable. Worried about swelling or side effects after the procedure? 📢 There are almost none — the advantage is that you can return to your daily routine quickly. Many people worry about swelling or scarring after the procedure, but in reality, Volneumer is A procedure with almost no downtime no see. 🔸 Immediately after the procedure temporary flushing It may occur, but in most cases, it subsides by the time they pass away. 🔸 Severe swelling is rare. 🔸 There are no permanent side effects such as indentations or scars. ⚠️ caution Because heat is retained in the deep tissue after the procedure, Avoid cold packs or ice packs. Please do so. Artificially cooling the heat may reduce the effectiveness. How often, and when do the effects appear? 📢 Gradually, but steadily — once every six months is ideal. The Volneumer effect does not increase sharply immediately after the procedure, You will be able to gradually feel your skin elasticity improving starting from 3 to 4 weeks later. . The skin becomes firm and feels smooth to the touch. 🔹 Recommended cycle : Once every six months, that is, twice a year 🔹 Like A concept of steadily accumulating, like a "skin savings account." It is. If you take regular care of it, you can maintain elastic skin in the long term. ✔️ Among the same high-frequency lifting series A good option in terms of cost-effectiveness It can be. FAQ Q1. How are Volneumer and Thermage different? A1. Both are lifting procedures that utilize radio frequency (RF) energy. They differ in their methods and equipment structures, and regularly using Volneumer twice a year can be a good choice in terms of cost-effectiveness. The most accurate method is to determine the one best suited for your skin condition through a consultation with a specialist. Q2. Is there anything special I need to prepare before the Volneumer procedure? A2. No special preparation is required. However, if you have internal electronic devices such as pacemakers or cochlear implants, you must inform your medical staff in advance. Metal prosthetics (gold teeth, orthodontic appliances, etc.) generally do not pose a significant problem. Q3. I want both a lifting effect and improved skin texture. What is the best combination of treatments? A3. There is excellent synergy in combining ultrasound lifting, such as Ulthera or Shurink, to lift the deep layers, followed by Volneumer to manage the elasticity and texture of the outer layer. However, as this varies depending on individual skin condition and goals, it is recommended to consult with a specialist before making a decision. conclusion 🔹 Volneumer is a tightening procedure that "firmly attaches" rather than a "lifting" lifting procedure. no see. 🔹 It is specialized for improving fine lines, pores, and elasticity, and works on the principle of making the dermis layer thicker and stronger. 🔹 There is almost no downtime, so you can return to your daily life quickly, and the pain is not severe. 🔹 Once every 6 months; the more consistently you manage it, the more the effects accumulate. ⚠️ However, please be sure to consult with a medical professional in advance, as the procedure is difficult for those with internal electronic devices (pacesizers, cochlear implants). ✨ Don't worry alone; consult a specialist to create a lifting plan tailored to your skin!

최우혁 원장26.05.25Views 12Likes 0 [Health Column] Have you been wearing dentures for a long time? The effects and key points of ‘Full-Arch Implants’ that reduce the burden of full implants[1]
hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Chief Director Kim Hyung-seok no see. Once you lose most of your teeth, you are bound to feel lost and hopeless. "Is dentures really the only option now?" There are many people visiting the dentist due to such concerns. Although I am well aware of the loose and painful discomfort of dentures, people often hesitate to make a decision due to the cost and surgical burden of having to implant dozens of implants one by one. As such An innovative alternative that clearly compensates for the disadvantages of dentures and conventional implant methods , as soon as Full arch implant I will explain it to you in an easy-to-understand way. What is a full-arch implant, and what is the principle behind it? 🔸 It is a smart method that firmly restores the function of all teeth by implanting only the minimum number of implants. . Full-arch implants do not involve placing the implant throughout the entire gum. ✔️ Strategically select a good location for the gum bone Insert only the minimum number of pillars After doing that, on top of it Combine a single, connected fixed full prosthesis This is the principle. Thanks to this, the physical and financial burden of large-scale bone graft surgery can be significantly reduced. ✨ Load distribution: Because the entire prosthesis is firmly bound together as one, the force generated when chewing food is not concentrated in one spot on the gums but is evenly distributed. ✨ Natural chewing force: The sense of stability felt during meals Very similar to natural teeth Therefore, patient satisfaction is very high. Is a full-arch implant the right treatment for me? 🔸 It is an excellent solution for those whose gum bone has eroded due to long-term denture use or whose overall tooth occlusion has collapsed. . Full arch treatment is not a treatment applied equally to all situations; there are specific cases where efficiency can be maximized by tailoring it to the patient's oral environment. 📌 If you fall into the following situations, Full Arch is the best alternative. This can be 🔸 When a large number of implants is burdensome : This is a case where the restoration of full function is urgent due to tooth loss, but the poor condition of the gum bone makes it difficult to implant dozens of implants. 🔸 When gum bone is absorbed due to prolonged denture use : Full arches enable stable fixation even in situations where it is difficult to obtain fixation force using conventional methods. 🔸 When the occlusion of the upper and lower jaws has completely collapsed : If many teeth are missing, it is difficult to adjust the height (occlusal height) when closing the mouth. The full arch simultaneously reconstructs upper and lower balance as a single complete prosthesis, Restore your facial proportions and relax your jaw joints It makes it. What are the key points for successful results? 🔸 The success or failure of the treatment depends not on the number of implants, but on precise 'masticatory balance' and 'load distribution'. . So, what should be examined most carefully when treating a full arch? Our mouths are subjected to significant pressure from the jaw muscles every time we chew food. ⚠️ What happens if excessive force is concentrated on only a specific area? If the connected screws repeatedly loosen, or in severe cases Fracture (broken) of the prosthesis A fatal problem may occur. Therefore, each patient is different Closely analyze the movement path of the temporomandibular joint and the chewing pattern in normal equilibrium. The process must be completed first. Long-term stability can be achieved by maintaining equilibrium to withstand not only vertical pressing forces but also the stimulation generated when grinding food sideways (lateral forces). Why is it important for a full arch to be designed by a 'prosthodontist'? 🔸 Since minute errors determine overall stability, precise prosthetic design that predicts the flow of force is essential. . The grass arch eventually rises intricately on a pillar planted in the gums. High-difficulty treatment completed by placing a 'prosthesis' no see. Therefore, the perspective of a prosthodontist who views the oral structure holistically is of the utmost importance. 🔹 A specialist in prosthodontics is We are medical professionals who obtained qualifications from the Ministry of Health and Welfare after completing a 4-year internship and residency program at a university hospital's Department of Prosthodontics, focusing exclusively on 'restoring tooth function' and 'designing prosthetics' through in-depth research. A prosthodontist does not simply look at the location to place the implant. 🔍 The upper and lower jaws interlock when the prosthesis is placed Calculate precise occlusion points And, after treatment, the patient can do it themselves at home Convenience of easily cleaning and maintaining the underside of the prosthesis We proceed with a 1:1 customized design, taking all of this into consideration. As even minute differences in angle determine the entire lifespan of the prosthesis, error-free precision is required to ensure safe use for many years. FAQ Q1. Is the burden of bone grafting really less for full-arch implants compared to standard implants? A1. Yes, that is correct. Because the medical team can strategically select a location with good gum bone conditions to implant, there is no need to proceed aggressively in areas with insufficient bone. It can significantly reduce the burden of large-scale bone grafting. Q2. Does it creak or wobble when eating, like dentures? A2. Unlike dentures, it is fixed to the gums, and the entire prosthesis is firmly connected as a single structure. Since the force applied during mastication is evenly distributed Comfort and stability very similar to natural teeth when eating You can feel it. conclusion Any dentist might be able to simply perform the act of implanting itself. However, meticulously calculating each patient's unique chewing habits and jaw joint movements to find the perfect 'masticatory balance' that feels like it was originally part of the body falls within the realm of detailed prosthetic design. We deeply understand the earnest hearts of patients who take time out of their precious, golden weekends to visit our dental clinic from afar. I promise to provide precise medical care strictly according to standard procedures, without compromising my conviction and sense of responsibility as a medical professional. If you are concerned about complete tooth loss, rather than deciding on treatment impulsively First, accurately check your oral condition through a thorough consultation with a specialist. I recommend you give it a try.

hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. With May being Family Month, are you contemplating a meaningful gift to express your gratitude to your parents? Recently, among middle-aged and older adults, 'lower blepharoplasty,' which improves sagging and bulging fat under the eyes to make the impression brighter and younger, is receiving great attention as a representative cosmetic procedure for filial piety. To ensure high satisfaction, we will provide an easy-to-understand guide to the key benefits, side effects, and recovery process that you must check before surgery. Before restoring your parents' bright smiles, please review this article thoroughly first! Lower eyelid surgery goes beyond simple cosmetic surgery. What are the effects? 🟢 Improves under-eye fat and sagging skin to transform a tired-looking impression into a clear and bright one. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a one-dimensional procedure that simply removes wrinkles around the eyes. This is a procedure that comprehensively smooths out the dark shadows under the eyes and signs of aging that appear in combination with age. 🔸 Representative improvement effects : Improvement of under-eye fat protrusion Relieves sagging skin and fine lines Reduction of shadows that look like dark circles Improve a tired and aged appearance Forming a clearer and brighter impression If your parents' under-eyes look particularly puffy and tired when taking photos during holidays or family gatherings, lower eyelid surgery can be a good alternative. Middle-aged and older adults can enjoy the effect of significantly changing their overall image with just small changes under their eyes. Lower eyelid fat repositioning or lower blepharoplasty, which is better suited for my eyes? 🟢 The purpose of the surgery varies depending on whether it focuses on fat relocation or includes skin and muscle improvement. . Many people often confuse the two surgeries. Under-eye fat repositioning is primarily redistributing fat Regional migration center On the other hand, Lower eyelid surgery silver Comprehensive improvement of not only fat but also sagging skin and muscle condition It is an integrated surgery. 💡 If the condition involves severe skin sagging due to aging beyond simple fat protrusion, choosing lower eyelid surgery rather than lower eyelid fat repositioning is clinically much more suitable. How long do swelling and bruising last after lower eyelid surgery? Temporary symptoms may appear immediately after surgery, and usually subside after about 1 to 2 weeks to the point where they do not interfere with daily life. . After any surgical procedure, the speed of recovery may vary depending on the individual's constitution or skin condition. The general standard recovery course follows the steps below. Key Recovery Timeline : 🔸 Week 1 This is the period immediately after surgery when swelling and bruising are most severe. 🔸 Week 2 As significant swelling subsides, light commuting to work or daily activities become fully possible. 🔸 1 month As residual swelling gradually subsides, the surrounding tissue regains its natural feel. 🔸 3~6 months The internal tissue is firmly fixed and eventually settles completely. 💡 If your parents work or have an important meeting coming up, it is recommended to coordinate the schedule after securing at least 1 to 2 weeks of buffer time. What are the side effects and precautions that must be checked before surgery? Since all surgeries carry the possibility of side effects, you must be clearly aware of potential symptoms in advance. . Since lower eyelid surgery requires precise techniques, it is safer to check for potential symptoms in advance. Representative side effects to watch out for : ⚠️ Asymmetry and eyelid pulling ⚠️ Overcorrection or undercorrection ⚠️ Occurs micro-scars and dry eyes ⚠️ Rare eversion (the eyelid turns outward) 💡To prevent such side effects or complications such as ectropion or retraction, you must strictly verify whether the medical team is a specialist with sufficient know-how and extensive clinical experience regarding the surgery. What conditions should be considered more important than price or cost? 🟢 It is whether a 'personalized diagnosis' is provided, which closely analyzes skin sagging and muscle conditions that differ for each patient. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a trivial procedure that can be hastily decided upon based solely on low costs or promotional pricing benefits. This is because everyone has distinctly different innate physical conditions. Essential Checkpoints for Precise Diagnosis : 📌 Current degree of under-eye skin sagging 📌 The exact location and amount of protruding inner fat 📌 Thickness and weakening of the muscles under the eyes 📌 Overall skin elasticity and existing eye shape structure Since indiscriminately removing an excessive amount of tissue can lead to unnatural results, the key is the diagnostic ability to establish the most natural direction of improvement while preserving functional aspects. Specifically, who is lower eyelid surgery most recommended for? 🟢 We recommend this to those who are concerned about looking dull and older than their actual age due to signs of aging under their eyes. . Self-diagnosis checklist : ✔️ If you are often told you look tired because your under-eyes are always bulging ✔️ Cases where sagging soft tissue under the eyes makes you look much older than your actual age ✔️ Cases where the overall impression feels dull and dark due to shadows around the eyes ✔️ Cases where non-surgical lifting procedures were previously performed but the improvement was significantly insufficient ✔️ For those over middle age who want a very natural, non-artificial youthful face What is the detailed surgical recovery process and course by stage? After passing the initial stage of applying protective taping, the facial expression will gradually settle into a natural state by 6 months post-surgery. 🔹 [Stage 1] Immediately after surgery ~ Day 2 after surgery Carefully apply sutures and protective tape to the micro-incision site just below the eyelashes. Swelling that occurs immediately after surgery usually peaks on the 1st or 2nd day and tends to be severe. Light daily movements are immediately possible, and if you are concerned about the swollen appearance, you can sufficiently cover it by wearing a hat or glasses. 🔹 [Stage 2] Day 3 ~ Day 4 Post-Surgery From this point on, the swelling, which had peaked, begins to gradually and noticeably decrease. As you apply the prescribed eye ointment regularly, the area around the tape may appear slightly shiny or oily, but this is a perfectly normal part of the healing process, so you can rest assured. 🔹 [Stage 3] Day 6 ~ Day 7 Post-Surgery (Time for Suture Removal) Visit the hospital to safely remove the attached protective tape and fine stitches. Once the stitches are removed, the significant swelling and bruising around the eyes usually subside quickly. Light makeup becomes possible, drastically reducing the physical and psychological burden of returning to daily life, such as going out or going to work. 🔹 [Stage 4] 2 ~ 3 months after surgery (Long-term recovery) The reddish tint of the micro-scar incised along the eyelash line gradually fades. The skin texture around the eyes recovers smoothly and naturally, transforming into a stable state where scars are barely noticeable. 🔹 [Stage 5] 6 months post-surgery (Final settlement) Even when speaking or smiling broadly, an extremely natural expression is maintained without any awkwardness. A youthful, relaxed, and vibrant impression of middle age is achieved to the point where those around you won't even notice. 📌 Great tips to shorten your recovery time! Professional services conducted at the hospital Swelling relief injection me LED Swelling Management Systematically combining the same customized recovery program can be of great help in accelerating the speed of recovery. FAQ Q1. When does my face look natural after lower eyelid surgery? A1. The most prominent swelling and bruising after surgery usually subside significantly within about 1 to 2 weeks as you resume your daily activities. Afterwards, minor residual swelling gradually subsides over several months, and the area usually settles into a noticeably natural look between one and three months after surgery. Q2. Since it is a surgery involving an incision, I am worried that a severe scar will remain on the surface. The incision for lower blepharoplasty is precisely made along a line closely located just below the eyelashes, which is not easily visible due to the eye's structure. Therefore, as time passes and the wound heals, it becomes difficult to distinguish easily with the naked eye. Although there are individual differences, generally, the scar fades rapidly starting 2 to 3 months after surgery. Q3. My parents are afraid that my facial expression might become stiff or look artificial and awkward after the surgery. To avoid an artificial appearance, the surgery must be performed with precision, thoroughly considering the complex muscle distribution and the condition of the supporting tissues around the eyes. If the surgery is performed correctly according to the anatomical structure, you can maintain a comfortable and soft impression without any awkwardness even when smiling broadly after 6 months, so it is important to make a decision after consulting thoroughly with a medical team with skilled expertise. 📌 Key Summary Lower eyelid surgery, known as the ultimate cosmetic surgery to show filial piety to middle-aged parents, A safe solution that restores your naturally bright and defined face by harmoniously improving sagging skin and bulging fat, the main culprits of under-eye aging. no see. To maintain highly satisfactory results for a long time, do not be swayed solely by low price benefits. Please keep in mind that a precise, customized diagnosis evaluating the patient's skin elasticity, eye structure, and muscle condition from various angles must be performed first. ✨ Key Summary Points ✔️ Major swelling and bruising usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, and light makeup is possible after the stitches are removed in the first week. ✔️ To prevent side effects such as eyelid eversion and to maintain a natural smile, you must undergo a one-on-one consultation with a verified specialist. If you wish to give your parents the gift of youth and confidence that brings them happiness every time they look in the mirror, I highly recommend visiting a medical institution equipped with a thorough, systematic aftercare program and accompanying them step-by-step, starting from the consultation.

Recently, looking much younger and healthier than their age youthful appearance As social interest in [this topic] has increased significantly, the number of people inquiring about lifting surgeries such as thread lifting or facelifts has noticeably increased. Many people look in the mirror "Will thread lifting alone be enough for my sagging face?" or "Isn't a facelift too burdensome and scary a surgery?" They often lose sleep worrying about it. If your skin sagging is relatively mild and you are at the stage where you want to smoothly refine your sagging facial contours, thread lifting or laser lifting alone can provide sufficiently satisfactory results. but In cases where aging has already progressed significantly Since a decrease in volume occurs simultaneously with a decline in skin elasticity, a more fundamental method of improvement is inevitably needed rather than a procedure that merely tightens the surface. In such cases, the most representative method to consider as the surest solution is Facelift It is, Today, we will discuss exactly when a facelift is necessary and The trending surgical method these days I will give you a clear and concise explanation of what it is! 👇 Deep wrinkles all over the face and a sagging jawline—what is a 'facelift'? ⭐This is a surgery that tightens sagging skin to improve facial aging and wrinkles, and restores a sagging, square face shape to a youthful, elastic U-line. 🔹 Definition of Facelift and Guaranteed Effects As you age and the signs of time deepen across your face, it is inevitable to feel depressed every time you look in the mirror. 😥 Facelift surgery is Lifts sagging skin to generally improve facial aging and wrinkles. It is a representative surgery that provides [service]. The grumpy protrusions at the corners of the mouth (bulldog cheeks) or the deep grooves under the corners of the mouth marionette folds It smooths out deep wrinkles on the back and entire face. Furthermore, the face shape that has become long, square, and sagging due to aging, compared to when one was young sleek Restore to U-line Because it does it, in the true sense Anti-aging surgery It is called. ✨ The evolution of modern facelifts beyond simple skin incisions In fact, in the early days, facelift surgery was performed using a relatively simple method of merely slightly separating the outer layer of skin to pull the tissues. One point worth noting is that recent surgical trends have completely changed! 📌 Recently located under the skin The subcutaneous fascia layer of the face called SMAS While peeling very widely, We proceed with the facelift after thoroughly severing the retaining ligaments that are strongly holding the tissues together. Thanks to that, compared to the past Much longer-lasting and dramatic lifting effects You can now experience it firsthand. I have been getting thread lifts and laser treatments regularly, but now the sagging cheeks and jawline haven't been resolved at all, and my face just looks wide and flat. Middle-aged people who do 🔸 When you want a fundamental change in your face line 🔸 The first surgery you look for is a facelift. 📌 If facial sagging is severe, rather than repeatedly performing procedures that only tighten the outer skin, restoring the fascial structure beneath the skin to its original position A fundamental facelift can be a much more economical and reliable alternative. Why do some people end up with only scars and insufficient results after a facelift? This is because the 'SMAS fascia layer,' the core tissue of the facelift, was not accurately understood anatomically and handled with meticulous care. . ⚠️ High-difficulty surgery, problems with incorrect methods As mentioned earlier, facelift surgery is considered one of the most difficult plastic surgeries because it involves handling numerous structures of the face. For this reason, even after making a big decision to undergo surgery, there are occasionally cases where, despite It left a big scar on my face, and I don't see any effect on wrinkle improvement at all. And I often meet people who express their dissatisfaction. 😥 This is highly likely because the underlying cause was not resolved during the surgery, or Possibility that the surgical method was incorrect This is very high. 🔹 The key to the success or failure of a facelift: the SMAS layer To maintain proper and satisfactory results for a long time after a facelift, the ability to accurately manage the SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) is of the utmost importance. The SMAS layer is our face's A thin layer of fascia existing between subcutaneous fat and facial muscles It refers to the key tissue that determines the lifting effect! The problem is that not only does the thickness of this fascia layer vary from person to person, but it is also very sensitive in specific areas. The facial nerve passes densely or The point is that the fascia itself thins rapidly. 📌 Therefore, when performing a facelift Only by precisely and meticulously dissecting this fascial layer and then pulling the tissue with appropriate force to firmly fix it can excellent results be achieved without side effects. In conclusion, it is no exaggeration to say that the key to modern facelifts lies entirely in how this SMAS layer is handled, dissected, and tightened. I’m really scared to get the surgery because an acquaintance of mine had a facelift and was left with deep, knife-like scars or ears that looked like sharp blades. There are many people doing this. 🔸 This phenomenon may occur when the outer skin is forcibly pulled and fixed without properly peeling off the SMAS layer. 📌 To maintain a natural facial expression without worrying about scarring, you must carefully check whether the hospital you are considering for surgery possesses the technological capability to precisely and safely separate the invisible SMAS layer beneath the skin. What are the differences between the 'Deep Plane' and 'Dual Plane' facelifts, which have emerged as the new trend? The difference is whether the entire layer is peeled off once and pulled in one direction, or whether the skin and SMAS layer are separated and peeled twice, then pulled three-dimensionally in different directions. Then, among the numerous facelift techniques, why are specialized methods particularly emphasized? 🤔 Among surgical methods, "Dual Plane Facelift" is a prime example of a technique that maximizes lifting efficiency through particularly delicate and precise dissection. If I compare it with the existing conventional method, you will be able to easily understand the difference. 🔹 Limitations of the existing Deep Plane method One of the commonly performed facelift techniques Deep Plane The method involves peeling off only the space below the SMAS layer. Single-step peeling method no see. The skin and the SMAS layer are pulled together as a whole, while remaining tightly attached to each other. Because it is tied together as one mass and pulled Advantages include minimal unnecessary tissue damage and relatively fast recovery. It has. However, unfortunately, since the pulling direction is limited to only one direction, There is a drawback in that after surgery, unwanted areas may appear bulky or look somewhat awkward and stiff when making facial expressions. I did. ✨ High-end Technique, Dual Plane Innovation in Facelifts On the other hand, 'dual-plane facelift,' which has recently become the mainstream trend, literally [removes] the facial structures A high-end surgical method that precisely divides and pulls into two layers no see. ✌️ Perfectly separating the space beneath the skin and the space beneath the SMAS fascia. Two peels (2 peels) It goes through a process. With the SMAS layer and the skin layer separated in this way, they are pulled in independent directions. Because each layer is pulled at the most ideal angle, the expression is not awkward and is much more three-dimensional. Natural plastic surgery results You can expect. ✨ Of course, the skin layer and the SMAS layer must be precisely exfoliated separately, and the meticulous pulling in different directions Vector control technology Although this is essential and requires a high level of skill from the doctor, the satisfaction patients feel when looking in the mirror is correspondingly very high. The recent global trend in facelifts involves gently handling these multiple layers of anatomical structures, Natural balance of the entire face It is evolving in a direction that matches. In the past, if you focused solely on strongly pulling up what was sagging, We now aim to maintain the surgical effects much more naturally and robustly while preserving the patient's inherent natural beauty. "I'm worried that after the surgery, the corners of my mouth might look too stretched toward my ears, or my face might look awkwardly pulled, as if I were standing in a windy place." To those who are doing it, 🔸 Dual-plane method that separates the skin and fascia and pulls them with customized vectors 🔸 This makes for an excellent solution. 📌 Facelift surgery stands at the pinnacle of anti-aging cosmetic surgeries, and among them, the Dual Plane is a high-end procedure that represents the ultimate in precision. If you desire natural facial expression changes, be sure to ask about the dissection method and vector adjustment during the consultation before surgery. Luark Plastic Surgery's special solution for safe and natural changes! We operate a specialized 1:1 center that naturally enhances your original facial contours through thorough consultation, rather than creating an artificial face by excessively tightening the skin. . 🔹 The Unwavering Philosophy of Ruak Facelift Center Since a facelift is a matter of a patient's entire life, we must be cautious. Ruak Plastic Surgery operates a separate, independent center specializing in facelifts. We provide in-depth medical care. 🏥 Through extensive consultation with the patient, we comprehensively identify the areas of concern that upset them the most when looking in the mirror, and approach the procedure with caution by establishing a precise surgical plan that minimizes strain. Our most important principle is to avoid excessive stretching that creates a shiny and artificial result. ❌ This is because, as the saying goes, too much of a good thing is as bad as too little, an overly pulled face actually causes awkwardness. Ruak is the patient Naturally enhances your original beautiful facial contours Therefore, we provide a high level of satisfaction so that after surgery, you can hear pleasant compliments from those around you, such as, "Why do you look so good and young these days?" ✨ An anatomical approach by a plastic surgeon that relieves concerns about side effects It is clear that a facelift is a major surgery where the decision-making process leading up to lying on the operating table is quite arduous and involves deep deliberation. However, I can say with certainty that this is a surgery that offers a significant and distinct wrinkle improvement effect and satisfaction that cannot be replaced by general laser lifting or minor procedures. However, there is a safety rule you must keep in mind here! ⚠️ Beneath our facial skin, there are countless complex mechanisms responsible for facial expressions Facial nerves are densely distributed like a spiderweb It is done. Capable of accurately anatomically identifying and safely preserving the course of these nerves, It must be performed by a verified plastic surgeon. You can complete the surgery safely without worrying about side effects. Therefore, if you are currently experiencing deep stress due to your sagging facial features and drooping jawline every time you look in the mirror, we strongly recommend that you do not suffer in silence but instead visit a nearby plastic surgeon to receive a comfortable diagnosis and consultation. FAQ Q1. What is the exact difference in principle between thread lifting and a facelift? ? A1. Thread lifting is a simple procedure using medical threads, performed when skin sagging is relatively mild or when you want to finely refine your facial contours. 😉 the other side Facelift It affects not only the surface of the skin but also the deep layers within the skin that are the root cause of aging. A surgical procedure that directly and extensively dissects the SMAS fascia layer to firmly pull and fix it. It is. Therefore, as aging progresses significantly, sagging and a noticeable decrease in volume are observed simultaneously. For middle-aged and older adults, a facelift is a much more fundamental and long-lasting solution than thread lifting. It is particularly excellent for improving jowls and marionette lines around the mouth. Q 2. What exactly is the difference between the Dual Plane Facelift, which is said to be the current trend, and traditional surgery? ? A2. The 'deep plane' facelift that was widely used previously was a method that did not separate the skin and the SMAS layer, but instead bound them together as one large layer and pulled them up as a whole (one-step dissection). On the other hand, the high-end technique 'Dual Plane Facelift' precisely [treats] the layer beneath the skin and the layer beneath the SMAS fascia separately. The 'double peeling' process of separating twice It goes through. After that, the two organizations Because it pulls separately while carefully adjusting in different optimal directions (vectors) , it has the strong advantage that after surgery, the skin does not wrinkle or the facial expression does not become stiff, and it looks very three-dimensional and natural, just like the original face. Q3. Why is choosing the right hospital and medical team so important when deciding on a facelift? ? A3. A facelift requires not only the precise dissection of the SMAS layer, the core supporting structure within the facial skin, but also the numerous threads flowing through those thin crevices. Plastic surgery of the highest difficulty that must be performed while perfectly preserving important facial nerves This is because of this. Therefore, having a perfect understanding of the anatomical structure of the entire face and the location of fine nerves Plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience It is important to choose. To achieve satisfactory results, rather than simply chasing trendy surgeries that everyone else is doing, you must carefully compare whether the medical team is trustworthy and capable of developing a personalized approach plan tailored to your facial aging condition and bone structure. conclusion: ✔️Careful selection tailored to your elasticity and facial structure The most suitable surgical method for a facelift inevitably varies completely depending on the individual's skin elasticity, the depth of sagging due to aging, and their innate anatomical facial structure. Therefore, rather than blindly deciding on surgery based solely on online reviews, it is crucial to make a prudent decision after sufficient and in-depth consultation with medical professionals. ✨ Accurate, precise diagnosis tailored to your current aging state rather than trends We do not recommend choosing a hospital based solely on the names of procedures or specific surgeries that are currently trending in Gangnam or online communities. A patient process must precede the precise diagnosis of your current aging status and the clear direction for improvement, followed by a step-by-step search for a customized lifting method tailored exclusively for you. 📌 Comparison of medical team experience and specific surgical methods is essential Since a facelift is one of the most dramatic surgeries in the field of plastic surgery in terms of the changes and satisfaction seen when looking in the mirror after the operation, we hope you will carefully compare and analyze the medical team's extensive clinical experience, specific surgical methods (dissection range, vector control method, etc.), and a personalized 1:1 plan that listens to your concerns before making your final choice of hospital.

신수혜 원장26.05.19Views 74Likes 1 [Health Column] Partial Front Teeth Correction: Side Effects and Conditions You Must Consider Before Finishing Quickly[1]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Where do your eyes go first when you meet someone, talk, or smile brightly? As a dentist meeting many people, I realize that the 'front teeth,' which are immediately visible when speaking or smiling, have the greatest impact on one's impression. If your front teeth are crooked or stick out, your mouth is likely to look protruding. This often becomes a major concern because it makes it easy to unintentionally give the impression that I am angry or sulky. Recently, as before-and-after photos of quickly correcting only the front teeth have gained popularity on social media, there has been a significant increase in the number of people seeking methods to complete treatment quickly, following the trend, instead of undergoing full orthodontic treatment. "Can't I also get just my protruding front teeth fixed quickly, instead of the full braces?" It is natural to be drawn to the low cost and short duration as you think. However, you should never take partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth lightly. This is because an incorrect approach could worsen your appearance or lead to temporomandibular joint problems, ultimately resulting in the unfortunate setback of having to spend double the cost and time to undergo full correction again. Today, for those considering partial front tooth correction, I will clearly explain the medical criteria regarding when you can proceed with confidence and when you should absolutely avoid it! 1. What are the advantages of partial anterior correction compared to full correction? ? ✨ It drastically reduces the financial burden by cutting the time and cost to less than half compared to full correction. Full orthodontic treatment, which involves moving all the teeth, generally takes at least one year, or more than two years if tooth extraction is involved. On the other hand, because partial anterior correction focuses on moving only a few problematic teeth, 3 to 4 months at the shortest, and usually within 6 to 10 months at the longest. The treatment is completed at. Also, brackets are not attached to all teeth, but usually from canine to canine, either upper or lower Appliances only on around the 6 front teeth You will attach it. Since the number of devices attached is small, the cost is lower compared to full correction. Less than half It has the attractive advantage of being reduced to a very low economic burden. 📌 It is also full of conveniences you can experience in your daily life! The sensation of foreign objects or pain in the mouth is much less compared to full orthodontic treatment. There is no device on the molars used for chewing, so it is much more comfortable when eating. 💡 You can also choose from a variety of appliance types to suit your situation and preferences, including invisible lingual braces attached to the inside of the teeth as well as the outside, or clear aligners. 2. What are the potential side effects of getting only partial correction just because it is a trend? ✨ If the process is pushed too hard, side effects such as teeth protruding forward or tooth sensitivity may occur. . Although it appears fast and affordable on the surface, unfortunately, not all patients can achieve satisfactory results with partial anterior tooth correction. In actual clinical practice, patients undergoing partial orthodontics Less than 10% of all orthodontic patients The cases in which it can be applied are very limited to the extent that it amounts to nothing more than that. To straighten teeth, 'space' is absolutely necessary for the teeth to move safely. However, if you try to forcefully straighten the teeth using only front teeth appliances while leaving the molars as they are, there will be insufficient space. Side effect of teeth gradually moving forward (protruding) this It can happen. To prevent this, 'interdental reduction,' which involves finely grinding down the spaces between the teeth, is sometimes performed. If interproximal reduction is excessively concentrated only in the partial orthodontic area, the tooth surface becomes thin, making it difficult to eat. tooth sensitivity You must be careful, as this may appear and cause you trouble. 3. What are the criteria for success and failure of partial orthodontics based on actual treatment cases? ✨ Ignoring the limitations of the oral structure leads to lower satisfaction, but success is achieved by using the correct device following a precise diagnosis. . ❌ Disappointing failure cases In the case of one actual patient, the front teeth were severely overlapping due to a dental arch that was narrowed into a triangular (V-shape). It was recommended that the shape of the dental arch be properly widened through full correction, but At the patient's strong request, partial orthodontic treatment was performed only on the lingual side of the front teeth. I have done it. As a result, the front teeth themselves were rounded, but due to a lack of space, the teeth extended forward, disrupting the harmony with the molars and causing the canines to protrude outwards. In the end, the patient was not very satisfied and Reconsider the entire correction process. There is an unfortunate case where this happened. ⭕ Successful Treatment Cases On the other hand, for another patient who visited due to protruding front teeth, we wisely secured space for tooth movement. It slightly widens the space around the front teeth without touching any other teeth inside the mouth. Perform the 'arch expansion device' first. Partial correction was performed after that. Thanks to this, sufficient space is secured, allowing the teeth to naturally move inward without protruding. very successful results I was able to obtain. As such, a thorough preliminary diagnosis to determine whether your oral structure is truly suitable for partial orthodontics is essential above all else. 4. In what cases is partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth recommended? ✨ It is recommended only when the amount of tooth movement or space deficiency is minimal (approximately 1–2 mm) and the molar occlusion is perfect. . From a medical perspective, there are no structural skeletal problems and only A 'slight' problem situation involving a minute lack of space of approximately 1–2 mm or requiring relocation. Partial correction is most effective in this area. 🔹 Representative types for which partial correction is recommended Slightly crooked front teeth : Cases where the degree of tooth misalignment is not severe (approximately 1–2 mm) and can be sufficiently straightened with light interproximal reduction. Slightly spaced front teeth : Cases where there is a gap of about 1mm between the incisors, or a minute gap of approximately 0.5 to 1mm between the canines and premolars that only requires closing the space. In cases where only one tooth is protruding : Cases where the overall occlusion and molar alignment are perfect, but only one front tooth is slightly protruding forward and can be gently pushed back into place. ⚠️ Conversely, in such cases, partial correction is absolutely impossible! If you have symptoms such as a protruding mouth, an underbite, an underbite where the upper and lower front teeth meet in reverse, facial asymmetry, severe crowding, a deep bite where the teeth meet too deeply, or an open bite where the teeth do not meet at all, skeletal improvement and overall occlusal adjustment are essential. In this case, the problem cannot be solved by partial correction alone, so You must proceed with full proofreading. You must do this to be safe. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Can I really finish partial orthodontic treatment for my front teeth in just 6 months? A1. Yes, it is definitely possible if it is a mild case with minimal tooth movement! As short as 3 to 4 months, usually Around 6 months Surface treatment is completed neatly. However, depending on the individual's dental condition or the need for space, it may take up to 10 months. Q2. My front teeth are getting increasingly crooked as I get older. Is partial orthodontics possible for this as well? A2. There are really many people whose front teeth become misaligned due to acquired factors as their gums weaken with age. After visiting a dental clinic for a thorough diagnosis of your gums and alveolar bone, if there are no issues with molar occlusion and the misalignment of your front teeth is minor, they can be corrected through partial orthodontics. Q3. Are lingual partial braces, which are attached to the inside, completely invisible from the outside? A3. Yes, since the device is precisely attached only to the inner surface of the teeth, unless you open your mouth very wide in daily life The orthodontic device is not visible at all from the outside. Thanks to this, satisfaction is extremely high among office workers and those who frequently interact face-to-face. conclusion ✨ Suggestions for Wise Orthodontic Treatment Partial correction of front teeth It is an excellent treatment method that can dramatically reduce time and costs while significantly brightening one's appearance, provided the medical conditions are right. However, if you approach this with the sole intention of "finishing it quickly," you may experience side effects such as teeth protruding forward or a damaged bite. Even if it appears 'slightly' misaligned to the patient, a precise diagnosis reveals that in many cases, full correction is necessary due to skeletal or spatial limitations. Therefore, if you are considering partial orthodontics, we strongly recommend that you visit at least two or three dental clinics and receive a thorough consultation from an orthodontist, rather than making a hasty decision based on the advice of just one place. Finding an accurate diagnosis and medical compromise tailored to your dental condition is the sure first step to creating a beautiful smile you will never regret.

오수환 원장26.05.19Views 28Likes 1 [Health Column] A Comprehensive Summary of the Effects and Side Effects of 'Density Alpha Tip,' the Game Changer of Radiofrequency Lifting[1]
Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyeok. I got 800 shots of Thermage. Interest in radiofrequency lifting is so high that the same phrases are being used naturally. 🔥 Among them, the hottest rising equipment these days is the one chosen by actress Lee Young-ae. Density It is. I’m going to introduce the newly released weapon, the 'Density Alpha Tip'! Just like when I first encountered 5G after using LTE 3 or 4 years ago , I got the impression that it was innovative, as if it had skipped a whole generation! Today, I will explain those vivid experiences and top-secret information in a very easy-to-understand way. ✨ Monopolar? Bipolar? How are high-frequency devices classified? 📢 High-frequency devices that deliver energy from the surface without piercing the skin are broadly divided into two types. 📌 'Monopolar' that penetrates deep into the skin When the electrode touches the skin, high-frequency energy A method that goes deep down beneath the skin no see. The globally famous American Thermage is the original device, and as for domestic devices... Oligio, Tentherma, Volneumer, Serf, and the ones we are introducing today Density etc. This is included here. 📌 'Bipolar' concentrated on the skin surface It is a method in which high frequency waves travel back and forth between two electrodes on the tip surface. Rather than the deep place A lot of energy is concentrated on the surface of the skin. It has the characteristic of being able to do so. What is the effect of shooting monopolar and bipolar rays simultaneously? ? 📢 By stimulating both the deep layers and the surface of the skin simultaneously, the synergistic effect of collagen production becomes much greater. . South Korea is also the leading country for microneedle radiofrequency (Potenza, Scarlet, etc.). As a result of repeated research by the research team, Collagen density increases significantly when monopolar and bipolar energy are applied simultaneously. I discovered the fact that Following the Potenza Diamond Tip, which first applied this amazing combination, the device released as a full-fledged radiofrequency lifting machine has inherited the technology intact. Density High Tip no see. Since it cares for both the surface and the inner layers of the skin at once, the synergy in elasticity is bound to be exceptional. What exactly is different about the new 'Density Alpha Tip' compared to existing tips? ? 📢 To summarize in one word, it has been upgraded to "double the inspection area and double the energy consumption." Just as there are some shortcomings in the first-generation models of all electronic products, the existing Denserty Hi-Tip also had a slight risk of side effects, such as skin peeling or blistering, because energy was concentrated in specific areas due to the simultaneous action of two electrodes. This Alpha Tip has perfectly overcome that drawback. 🛠️ 🔸 Maximizing energy efficiency The Density Alpha Tip has doubled in area and doubles the energy. in other words, Getting hit by 300 Alpha Tip shots is the same amount of energy as getting hit by 600 existing High Tip shots. It essentially gets into the skin. Of course, the effect on improving elasticity will be much better, right? 🔸 The risk of side effects has actually decreased. If the energy is doubled, aren't the side effects also doubled? You might be worried about that. However, if you look at the actual temperature change graph, Energy is transferred very evenly and consistently over a large area. It works. Because heat is evenly distributed across the skin, the risk of side effects such as blisters or burns has been significantly reduced compared to conventional tips. Who would you strongly recommend the Density Alpha Tip to? 📢 It is an excellent alternative for those with sensitive skin and a lot of redness who were hesitant about lifting procedures. Some of the patients visiting the clinic Skin with a weak skin barrier, easily reddens, and is sensitive You have. These people wanted to receive skin firming care, but they could not easily get lifting procedures due to concerns about side effects. Denserty Alpha Tip has a low risk of irritation and side effects, and Effects of improving complexion, flushing, and redness You can expect to simultaneously. 📌 For those with sensitive skin who are worried about side effects after a lifting procedure 📌 For those who want to improve skin elasticity while simultaneously caring for redness and dull complexion 📌 For those who want to consistently and safely manage anti-aging every 3 to 6 months FAQ Q1. Does landing just 300 Alpha Tip shots really produce the same effect as the standard 600 shots? ? A1. Yes, that is correct! It is not simply about completing the number of shots; the total amount of energy (Joules) delivered to the skin is what matters. Since the Alpha Tip is designed with double the surface area and energy, you can experience the same energy as the existing 600 shots with just 300 shots. It saves time and reduces the time spent enduring pain by half. Q 2. I have sensitive skin; can I resume my daily activities immediately after the procedure? A2. Since the system has been improved to ensure energy is delivered very evenly across the entire surface, in general, aside from mild redness after the procedure, the likelihood of side effects such as blisters or peeling is low, allowing you to return to your daily life immediately. However, as results may vary depending on the individual's barrier condition, sufficient consultation is required before the procedure. Q3. How often should I receive high-frequency lifting? A3. People in their 20s and 30s consistently receive RF high-frequency treatments to slow down the aging process. Generally, receiving these treatments periodically—every 3 to 6 months depending on your skin condition—is very helpful in maintaining youthful and elastic skin for a long time. conclusion: I am cautiously confident that the introduction of the Density Alpha Tip in the high-frequency lifting market is not merely a slight improvement in performance, but a game-changer innovation that transcends a technological generation. 📌 Key Points : Density Alpha Tip Maximizing treatment efficiency with double the surface area and energy, and minimizing the risk of side effects through uniform heat delivery! 📌 Management points : Even sensitive and reddened skin can care for elasticity and complexion simultaneously without burden. 📌 A cautious word : No matter how good the equipment and tips are that have been released, it is safest to determine the number of shots and energy intensity after consulting with a specialist who can accurately diagnose your current skin barrier thickness and sensitivity. We will be back next time with more informative and interesting skin stories! Thank you.

최우혁 원장26.05.17Views 89Likes 1 [Health Column] Orthodontics: Are Brackets the Answer or Clear Aligners? A Guide to Choosing the Right Device for You 🦷✨[1]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Have you ever hesitated to smile broadly every time you looked in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide to get braces "Won't it hurt too much if we put down braces?", "I heard clear braces aren't very effective?" The same worries keep piling up. Actually, there is no right answer! Depending on your lifestyle patterns and dental condition There is a separate device that fits perfectly. Today, I’m going to easily explore how to choose the perfect orthodontic appliance for you! 🌈 1. Why is the 'bracket' method still widely used for orthodontics? ✨ It is a sure and traditional method that applies 'compulsion' by attaching the device directly to the teeth. . It is a method where brackets are firmly attached to the teeth, and the teeth are moved using the force of wires and rubber bands. The biggest advantage of this method is 'predictability'. 🎯 Since the patient cannot remove it on their own, the force planned by the doctor is applied steadily for 24 hours. 🙋♂️ I recommend this to people like this! Those who say, "I don't have the confidence to keep track of the device." For those who want to see quick results with a definite 'compulsion' 💡 A word from the Director : Initially, the device may rub against the inside of your lips and feel a bit uncomfortable, but once you get used to it, it becomes your most reliable orthodontic partner! ⚠️ Food gets stuck easily, so please pay twice as much attention to brushing your teeth as usual! 2. Is the discreet 'Invisalign' really effective for correction? ? ✨ It is a smart device that captures both aesthetics and convenience by using a special transparent plastic frame. . The biggest appeal of Invisalign is, of course, its 'perfect undetectable' look! For those with a professional life or frequent important meetings, it couldn't be better. In addition, the key point is that oral hygiene management is really convenient because you can temporarily remove the device when eating or brushing your teeth. Is there anything to watch out for? ⏰ Strictly adhere to the wearing time! You must wear it for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. The 'diligence' of taking good care of your own devices determines 90% of the results! 3. The device that fits me Compare at a glance! 📊 division Bracket correction (fixed) Invisalign (removable) Is it noticeable? I can see the bracket and wire 🧐 It's barely visible ✨ What about the meal? Be careful, it can get caught in the device! Take out the device and enjoy a relaxing yum yum 🍔 Management difficulty Brushing my teeth is a little hard 🪥 Just clean the device well and you're done! 🧼 Whose will? Everything is going smoothly according to the medical team's plan! Patient sincerity is essential! 🙌 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Is Invisalign completely painless? A1.

hello, Director Lee Ji-hye of Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong Branch no see. only taking herbal medicine "Will I really lose weight just by doing that?" 🤔 This is the question most frequently and earnestly asked by those who have decided to go on a diet. Conversely, there are also many voices filled with concern, asking, “Won’t it eventually lead to a yo-yo effect or be bad for your health?” Today, I will honestly clear up the misconceptions and reveal the truth about herbal weight loss, based on what I have confirmed by meeting over 10,000 patients over more than 9 years! 1️⃣ How is a herbal medicine diet different from general appetite suppression? 📌 This is a 'customized metabolic treatment' that identifies the root cause of your body's weight gain. It is definitely different from ordinary medicines that simply suppress appetite. The priority is to first figure out why my body gains weight and why it is particularly difficult to lose it. In Korean traditional medicine, the causes of obesity are broadly categorized into three types for approach. Splenic energy deficiency: When digestive function is weak and waste products accumulate easily Liver Qi Stagnation When the circulation of Qi is blocked due to stress Phlegm and fluid: When weight gain occurs along with edema due to inefficient water metabolism The reason prescriptions differ completely from person to person, even with the same body weight, is precisely because the 'cause' is different. 2️⃣ What effects do they actually produce? 📌 Lose body fat and boost metabolic efficiency to build a 'body that gains less weight'. The most noticeable change is not the numbers Body composition It is a change. ✔️ I aim to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass as much as possible without excessive dietary restrictions. Natural satiety : As digestive function improves, your food intake naturally decreases without having to force yourself to hold back. Breaking through the plateau : It boosts metabolic efficiency to bring about change during a plateau where your weight doesn't budge despite your efforts. Preventing muscle loss : Lose weight healthily while preventing muscle loss issues associated with starving. 3️⃣ Misunderstandings and Side Effects, Let Me Be Honest! ⚠️ 📌 Side effects are temporary, and the yo-yo effect is a matter of 'lifestyle habits' rather than 'herbal medicine'. The yo-yo effect that many people worry about is not so much due to the medication, but rather, Occurs when returning to previous eating habits after treatment do. This is the same for any diet method. Initial discomfort : Digestive discomfort, mild diarrhea, and changes in sleep may occur, but these are mostly temporary. Customizable : If you experience any discomfort, please inform your attending Korean medicine doctor, and the prescription can be adjusted immediately, so you can rest assured. Worried about your liver health? : Herbal medicines prescribed by medical institutions have a low risk of liver toxicity, and research results have reported that they actually improve liver enzyme levels or are as safe as general pharmaceuticals. 4️⃣ Can someone like me see results too? 📌 It is most important to check if this method is right for you. 🔹 I recommend this to people like this! Unresolved by diet and exercise Diet plateau menopause or mountain after Hormonal changes Cases where you suddenly gained weight PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Obesity with underlying causes Stress or lack of sleep Cases where it is difficult to control binge eating ⚠️ People like this, please be careful! Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as those with specific underlying medical conditions, must undergo sufficient consultation in advance. 5️⃣ Checklist You Must Check Before You Start! 📌 Carefully check if the place has a systematic management system. Thorough pre-treatment : Avoid places that recommend medicine first without analyzing your constitution and the cause. Continuous progress management : It is generally best to choose a place that checks your body's changes and adjusts the prescription every two weeks. Integrated Management Program : Please check if dietary guidance and lifestyle correction are provided along with herbal medicine. Transparent consultation : Being clearly guided on the treatment plan and estimated costs from the start is the foundation of trust. FAQ Q1. When do the effects appear? A1. Usually, you can feel initial changes in weight and body composition after about two weeks. However, the goal is to proceed consistently for about 4 to 12 weeks to fully restore metabolic function and improve your constitution. Q2. Won't I gain weight again if I stop taking the herbal medicine? A2. If you correct your dietary habits and restore your metabolic function during the period of taking herbal medicine, it is possible to maintain the results. 📌 You can sufficiently prevent the yo-yo effect as long as you do not revert to your old bad lifestyle habits after stopping the medication. Q3. Can I take this with diet injections or other medications? A3. If you are currently taking any medication (appetite suppressants, GLP-1 injections, etc.), please be sure to mention it during the consultation! ⚠️ It is not impossible to use them in combination, but the prescription composition may vary depending on the condition. conclusion 🔸The Right Choice for Me Herbal medicine dieting is not the same magic medicine for everyone. Just as the reasons for weight gain vary from person to person, a sophisticated approach tailored to me is necessary. If you are trying hard but still can't lose weight, it is not a matter of willpower. Issues with my body's metabolism and constitution It could be. Instead of starting blindly, try beginning by accurately assessing your current physical condition. We hope you find the perfect healthy diet solution for you through a consultation with an expert! 💖 Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong Branch Director Lee Ji-hye Completed Master's degree in Clinical Korean Medicine at Kyung Hee University Bachelor of Korean Medicine, Dongguk University Member of the Korean Society of Oriental Medicine for Obesity Cumulative patients treated 10,000 more than 1 person Diet treatment experience 9 more than a year hyeon Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong branch Chief Director YouTube Diet Oriental Medicine Doctor Lee Ji-hye Herbal medicine diet tailored to your constitution ( Sasang Constitution Prescription ) Herbal medicine for appetite and metabolism regulation Weight loss without yo-yo effect – Metabolic recovery program climacteric , Postpartum weight management PCOS, Hormonal imbalance obesity treatment Stress-induced binge eating , Emotional eating management Breaking through a diet plateau

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. When consulting with patients in their 50s at the dental clinic, there are really many who wave their hands and say, "Why would I need braces at this age? I'm embarrassed." However, the 50s are not the time to give up on braces; rather, it is a very important step that determines the final lifespan of your teeth. Golden Time Did you know that it could be? Today, based on medical evidence, I will go over the feasibility of orthodontic treatment for those in their 50s and the precautions in detail. 🔍 1. Orthodontics for those in their 50s: What is 'this' more important than age? ? ✨ The key is not the number of years, but the 'gum stamina' to support your teeth. . To start with the conclusion, orthodontic treatment is fully possible even in your 50s, and the results can be very good. but, 'Foundation work' to withstand the orthodontic device The key is whether it has been done. Here, foundation work refers to the support for the tooth roots. Condition of the alveolar bone It refers to. What I check most meticulously when diagnosing patients 3 indicators It is as follows. height of the alveolar bone : Just like the soil that supports a tree, the gum bone must sufficiently cover the roots to withstand orthodontic forces. Activity of periodontal inflammation : Forcibly moving teeth while the gums are inflamed, swollen, or bleeding can be dangerous as it accelerates bone resorption. Structure of the existing prosthesis: If you already have multiple implants or bridges, careful planning that takes this into account is essential. ⚠️ If there are problems with these three indicators, I do not recommend correction, no matter how much you wish to. Because safety comes first! 2. Cases where correction is absolutely necessary vs. cases where it should be postponed for a while ? ✨ Check the 'recommendations' and 'cautions' based on your dental condition. . Enduring it unconditionally is not the answer. Depending on the situation, orthodontics is a shortcut to a healthy old age It can also be this. 📌 ✅ We recommend braces for these people! My gums are well cared for, though. People whose teeth are gradually becoming spaced apart or misaligned molar left missing Those whose adjacent teeth have tilted and whose overall occlusion has collapsed especially Creating space for implant placement If necessary It is very effective. ❌ Caution is required for these people! severe gum disease : If your teeth are very loose, gum treatment comes before orthodontics. uncontrolled systemic disease : It is not recommended for those with slow wound healing due to uncontrolled diabetes or other conditions. Middle-aged Orthodontics FAQ Q1. Doesn't getting braces when you're older make your teeth weaker? ? A1. While excessive correction can be dangerous, straightening misaligned teeth actually reduces food accumulation and makes maintenance easier, so in the long run, Great help to gum health This becomes Q2. Does the correction period take much longer than for young people? ? A2. The movement speed may be slightly slow due to slow cell metabolism. However, not a complete correction Partial correction In this case, there are many instances where it ends within a few months, so don't worry too much. What matters is not speed, but 'safety'. Q3. Wouldn't it be better to just get implants instead of braces? ? A3. If you only implant a tooth when its structure has collapsed, it may result in greater costs and time later on. Correcting the foundation through orthodontics is a wise 'preparation for old age' for the era of centenarians. conclusion 'Reconstruction' of tooth structure for the 100-year lifespan era Orthodontic treatment for people in their 50s is not just a cosmetic procedure. ✨ To eat deliciously and converse happily with my teeth for the next 40+ years A thorough cleaning and restructuring of the oral structure no see.

As the perception spread that the shorter the distance between the nose and the upper lip, the younger and more vibrant one looks, Even without major surgery Philtrum reduction surgery where you can expect a change in appearance Interest in it is growing. In this column, we will cover everything from the principles of philtrum reduction surgery to its effects, side effects, and suitable candidates. I will go over every detail that is easy to miss. What is philtrum reduction surgery? Why does a longer philtrum make you look older? 🟢 As skin elasticity decreases, the distance between the nose and lips widens, and facial proportions collapse. After middle age As skin elasticity decreases and tissues sag downwards The philtrum (the area between the nose and the upper lip) gradually lengthens. If the philtrum lengthens, the proportion of the lower face increases. Changed to a tired and aged appearance regardless of facial expression The overall feeling of lack of vitality has become stronger. Philtrum reduction surgery is a procedure that shortens the length of the philtrum and improves the ratio between the nose and lips by excising or repositioning the skin below the nose. In other words, by appropriately narrowing the increased distance between the nose and lips This is a method to restore balance to your facial proportions. It is not simply about cutting it short, but is closer to the concept of adjusting the ratio. What effects can I expect from philtrum reduction surgery? 🟢 Your lips will look naturally lifted, and your entire face will look more vibrant.

If corrected at an appropriate ratio, you can expect an image improvement that makes you look about 10 years younger, although individual differences may exist.

Are there any side effects or precautions? 🟢 Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness are possible, but 'excessive excision' is the biggest risk. After the procedure Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness Symptoms may appear Recovery speed varies from person to person. Initially, lip movements may feel somewhat awkward. In most cases, it improves naturally over time. ⚠️ Excessive restraint Risk of unnatural appearance or scar exposure Excessive removal can lead to an unnatural appearance or exposed scars, so finding the right range that suits your face is key. It is absolutely not the case that 'the more you reduce it, the better the effect.' The precise range that fits my facial structure Setting it up is the surest way to reduce side effects. Who is it suitable for, and in what cases should one be cautious? 🟢 It is suitable if you are concerned about looking older due to a lengthened philtrum, but if it is already short, you should make a careful decision. ✔️ This is suitable for people like this. Middle-aged people concerned about looking older due to a long philtrum When the lips appear thin and droopy, giving a lifeless look ⚠️ In such cases, a cautious approach is necessary. If the philtrum is already short If you expect excessive anti-aging effects In cases where skin elasticity is severely reduced → Consider combining with other lifting procedures In cases where skin elasticity is severely reduced, combining philtrum reduction surgery with a lifting procedure is sometimes considered rather than performing the surgery alone. The same method is not the right answer for everyone. What is most suitable for my current facial condition It is important to understand this first. What you must know before philtrum reduction surgery? 🟢 Satisfaction is determined not by 'making it shorter,' but by 'harmony with the overall facial proportions.' The most important thing in philtrum reduction surgery is Not just a simple reduction in length, but harmony with the overall facial proportions no see. Through sufficient consultation with experienced medical staff Personalized design This is the key Make a decision after fully understanding the scar location, incision method, and recovery period in advance. It's a small change, but The effect of improving impression can be significant.

Before surgery, "where the scar will be," "how the incision will be made," "Approximately how long the recovery takes" — make sure to check these three things. The more fully you understand it in advance, the greater your satisfaction with the result will be. 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. Is the effect of philtrum reduction surgery still visible in middle age? A. Yes, in fact, since the philtrum lengthens after middle age, making one look older, the effect of improving proportions is often clearly visible. Although there are individual differences, satisfaction with the improvement in appearance tends to be high. Q. Is the scar not very visible? A. Since the incision in philtrum reduction surgery is made along the border below the nose, the scar is relatively less noticeable. Redness may be visible initially, but it gradually subsides over time. However, results may vary depending on individual skin type and recovery ability. Q. How long does the recovery take? A. You can return to your daily life relatively quickly, but it may take several weeks for swelling to subside and for the remaining recovery to take place.

🦷 Hello, Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic no see. As before-and-after photos of orthodontic treatment have recently become a hot topic on social media, Adult Orthodontics Interest in it has risen higher than ever. But actually What care is required after removing the braces Many people overlook this without knowing. There are so many people who ask, "Isn't the day you take off your braces the end of it?" but actually Maintenance device management This is truly the final stage of orthodontic treatment. In today's column, I will candidly explain why dentists emphasize retainers so much, as well as clarify some common misconceptions. 1️⃣ Why do teeth try to return to their original positions after orthodontic treatment? This is because the tissues surrounding the tooth remember its 'previous position'. Many people think of teeth as stones firmly embedded in the gum bone, but in reality, they are constantly moving Living tissue no see. For about a year immediately after orthodontic treatment, the gum bone has not yet hardened, so without a 'safety belt' called a retainer, the teeth can quickly shift. Around the teeth Periodontal ligament There is a tissue called... — you can think of it as fibrous tissue that connects the teeth and the gum bone. This tissue has a good memory, so if the device is removed, the teeth The force attempting to return to the previous position This works It is a principle similar to how a rubber band returns to its original length when stretched and released. Although I applied force to move my teeth throughout the entire orthodontic period, from the moment the appliance is removed, this 'Recurrence tendency' This begins. That is why a retention device is absolutely necessary. 2️⃣ What are the types of retainers, and are they really uncomfortable? There are two types, fixed and removable, and you will adapt to them faster than you think. Most people have a negative reaction to retainers. 'Discomfort' class Wearing period It originates from. However, many people say that it is easier than expected once they actually experience it. The fixed retainer is completely invisible from the outside, and the foreign body sensation disappears after about a week, so you will eventually forget that it is even attached. Fixed retainer — This method involves attaching a thin wire to the inside of the front teeth. Since it is not visible from the outside, you do not need to worry about it at all, even during job interviews or important occasions. removable retainer — It is a removable device. You must wear it consistently for the first 6 months to a year, except during meals, but once your teeth have settled, Only when sleeping You just need to wear it. Just as you put on pajamas before going to sleep, wearing a retainer before bed is also If you just make it a habit It is not a hassle at all. It is far from the perception of being a 'lifelong shackle'. 3️⃣ What problems might arise if you neglect your retainer? Not only can your teeth become misaligned, but it can also affect the health of your gum bone. There are people who lightly dismiss it, saying, "Surely it won't get a little misaligned?" but our bodies are During the aging process, the gum bone gradually weakens. If you neglect your retainer and your teeth shift again, you will need 're-orthodontics,' which will double the cost and time. Even people who haven't had braces experience changes in their teeth alignment as they age, and if you don't wear a retainer after treatment... The speed of that change becomes much faster. The front teeth may become slightly crooked or gaps may form between the teeth. If your teeth become misaligned again, there will be parts that are difficult to brush, and gum inflammation The risk of tooth decay may also increase. 👉 A retainer keeps straightened teeth in place for a long time The most reliable and economical management method no see. How about thinking of it as 'AS insurance' that protects the results you worked so hard to correct? 4️⃣ Do I eventually have to wear a retainer for the rest of my life? Wear it for as long as possible, but the duration can be adjusted in consultation with a specialist. Many people feel burdened by the news that they have to wear a retainer for the rest of their lives. To start with the conclusion, Teeth are tissues that move throughout life. For this reason, it is ideal to wear it for as long as possible. However, since you can gradually reduce the wearing time after your teeth have stabilized for a certain period, please consult with your specialist to adjust it. At first, I wear it almost all day, but as time goes by Only when sleeping Proceed to the wearing step. In the case of a fixed retainer, there is no significant inconvenience in daily life. long-term maintenance It is possible ⚠️ One thing I would like to ask of you is that if you do not plan to wear your retainer properly You should carefully consider the orthodontic treatment itself. It is. It might sound a bit strong, but your precious time and money This is sincere advice to protect it. 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. What should I do if the retainer falls off or breaks? A. You need to visit a dentist as soon as possible. Because teeth can move slightly even when the device is removed, Prompt action is the best way to prevent recalibration. no see. Q. How do I clean a removable retainer? A. Use a dedicated cleaner, or Gently brush with a toothbrush under running cold water You can wipe it clean. Please be sure to avoid hot water, as it may deform the device. Q. My gums are swollen or bleeding. Could this be related to the retainer? A. Although it is rare for the retainer itself to cause gum inflammation, around the fixed appliance If tartar builds up, it can affect gum health. Regular scaling and thorough brushing habits are important, and if gum swelling or bleeding recurs, we recommend getting a checkup at a dental clinic. Wrapping up Orthodontic treatment does not end on the day the appliance is removed. The process of maintaining the results through a maintenance device Up to this point is the true completion. When choosing a hospital, rather than comparing only costs, Whether the follow-up care program is systematic Please make sure to check if regular checkups are thoroughly taken care of. If you want to maintain the straight teeth you worked so hard to achieve for 10 or 20 years from now, why not get familiar with your retainer starting today?

hello, Dr. Jeong Ga-i, Director of Le Miel Plastic Surgery no see. When considering a lifting procedure, as much as the effect Pain or side effect burden This often leads to hesitation. Especially for those who were hesitant about procedures using thermal energy like Ulthera or Thermage, Non-heat lifting You might be interested in this. today Levinas Lifting What kind of procedure this is I will calmly summarize what changes you can expect and what you should check before the procedure. What is Levinas Lifting? 📚 This is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses shockwaves instead of heat. Levinas Lifting is Extracorporeal shock wave It is a non-invasive lifting procedure using [it]. Unlike Ulthera and Thermage, which use thermal energy Shock waves in the form of sound waves are transmitted from the skin surface to the deep fascia. Its distinguishing feature is that it works. That is why it is also called by the nickname 'Pasha Lifting'. When shock waves are transmitted to skin tissue Physical stimulation of tissue This is applied, and in the process, compressed tissues are relaxed, lymphatic circulation is activated, and the regeneration of collagen and elastin can be induced. In addition, it is distinguished from existing procedures that target only specific layers in that energy is evenly delivered to multiple layers of the skin. For example, those who hesitated to undergo conventional lifting procedures due to concerns about heat or irritation may become interested in this treatment because “the principle itself is different.” ✔️My advice is, rather than looking only at the name of the procedure What kind of energy is used in the procedure? It is helpful to understand first before making a choice. What changes can you expect from Levinas Lifting? You can expect a more relaxed facial appearance along with changes in your appearance. There are two main changes that can be expected from a Levinas lift. First is External changes no see. As the tight facial fascia and tissues relax, the jawline appears more refined, and you may feel that the facial contours have become much lighter. There are also cases where you feel that swelling has decreased and your skin tone has brightened due to improved lymphatic circulation. The second one is Subjective comfort no see. Rather than expecting immediate, dramatic changes with this procedure, those who receive the treatment "Feeling light on the face" , “I feel like it’s easier to make facial expressions” , Feeling less stiff in the jaw There are many cases where they tell me that. However, there is an important point here. Levinas Lifting is Rather than expecting a significant immediate lifting effect right after the procedure It is closer to a method of seeing gradual improvement over time and through repeated procedures. in other words, A feeling of sudden, dramatic change Rather than expecting results, it is more realistic to understand this as a procedure for consistently managing your skin condition. Are there any precautions or side effects for Levinas Lifting? It is non-invasive and does not use heat, but individual differences must be taken into account. Levinas Lifting is a non-invasive procedure and does not use thermal energy, so The recovery period is short and the risk of side effects is relatively low. no see. Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur after the procedure, but it is generally advised that these symptoms subside within a few days. but Just because the side effects are low does not mean that the same results will occur for everyone. The perceived effect or results after the procedure may vary depending on the individual's skin condition, degree of sagging, and state of tissue adhesion. Also, any procedure The practitioner's experience and proficiency , and understanding individual skin conditions is important. Therefore, rather than making an immediate decision without sufficient consultation, it is necessary to go through a process of assessing your current condition first and then establishing a plan. For example, even with the same concern about "sagging," the approach may differ depending on the cause. So rather than simply being a trendy procedure Whether it matches my condition It is more important to look at . Who can benefit from Levinas Lifting, and who should avoid it? 📚 It can be an option for those looking for a low-burden lifting procedure, but it is not suitable for everyone. The cases where Levinas lifting can be helpful are as follows. 🔸 For those who find thermal lifting procedures burdensome 🔸 Those who have experienced side effects from Ulthera, Thermage, etc. 🔸 People with jaw joint discomfort or facial muscle tension 🔸 Patients with remaining tissue adhesions after facial contouring or facelift surgery 🔸 People who frequently experience stiffness in the neck and shoulders and have poor facial circulation 🔸 For those who desire facial comfort and improved circulation rather than dramatic changes Conversely, more careful verification is required in the following cases. 🔸 In cases where the degree of sagging is severe 🔸 If you want an immediate and noticeable lifting effect 🔸 If you have a history of skin diseases or a specific constitution In such cases, consult thoroughly with a specialist before the procedure. The process of first determining suitability This is important. What should I know before the Levinas Lifting procedure? It is important to first identify the cause of my sagging and the treatment plan. If you are considering a Levinas lift, first today Degree and Causes of Skin Sagging It is good to understand this. This is because the approach may differ depending on whether the sagging is caused by myofascial release, fat reduction, or skeletal changes. Also with other lifting procedures Possibility of parallelism You can also check that.

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Among those considering orthodontic treatment Do I really need to get braces? , Is it okay to start now? There are many cases where people hesitate. There are visible concerns like crooked teeth or a protruding mouth, but In reality Oral health Ina Everyday inconveniences Therefore, there are quite a few cases where correction is necessary. In this column Orthodontics 4 Representative Recommended Cases Centered on, I will explain step-by-step what discomfort may arise and what changes can be expected through correction. 1. If you are concerned about a protruding mouth If your lips do not close comfortably and your mouth appears to protrude, you may consider correcting your protruding mouth. One of the main reasons many people hesitate to get braces is precisely this. protruding mouth no see. Protruding teeth can be caused by genetic factors, or by teeth moving forward due to habits such as thumb sucking during childhood. In this case, the lips do not close naturally You may unconsciously tense the area around your mouth, causing wrinkles to form on your chin or making your expression look somewhat blunt. If you move the teeth to the proper position through orthodontics Your lips close more comfortably, and your overall facial appearance may look more natural and refined. For example, if you are always self-conscious about your mouth shape when taking photos, If you feel uncomfortable keeping your mouth closed even when you are still, it may be worth getting it checked. 🔸 Reference Points On the surface, it may seem like a simple concern about "looking like your mouth is sticking out," but It is recommended to confirm the actual condition through a consultation, as the alignment of the teeth and the position of the lips must be considered together. 2. Cases where teeth are uneven or there is severe crowding. Malocclusion or crowded teeth can not only cause issues with appearance but also create blind spots during brushing, which can affect oral health. uneven tooth alignment malocclusion Ina snaggletooth Is It is easy to think of it as merely a superficial issue, but in reality, correction is often recommended for health reasons. If your teeth overlap, even if you brush hard It is easy for areas to form that the toothbrush cannot reach well. Such blind spots ultimately tooth decay me gum disease You can increase the possibility. If you straighten your teeth through orthodontic treatment It makes oral hygiene management much easier and can help keep your own teeth healthy for longer. for example, If you repeatedly feel that a specific area is always uncomfortable or that dental floss doesn't go in easily even after brushing your teeth It might not be a simple habit problem, but an arrangement problem. 🔸 Reference Points A good-looking layout is important, but, It is more important to also consider whether the structure makes it easy to clean the spaces between the teeth. 3. In the case of an open bite where the front teeth do not touch If your front teeth do not touch even when you close your mouth, the functional discomfort may feel greater than the appearance. A state where a gap forms between the upper and lower front teeth, preventing them from touching each other, even when the mouth is tightly closed. open bite It is called. In this case, it is not just a visible issue; the inconvenience felt in daily life is quite significant.

Restoring the bite of your front teeth through orthodontics can help you regain the ability to bite and chew food, and it can also help improve pronunciation. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than simply dismissing it by thinking, "My front teeth just don't quite touch," if you experience recurring discomfort during eating or pronunciation, it is advisable to have it checked from a functional perspective. 4. In cases of facial asymmetry where the facial center is misaligned If your facial midline is misaligned or appears crooked to one side, orthodontic treatment can be helpful. The facial midline does not align, or It looks twisted to one side Facial asymmetry It can also be a candidate for orthodontic treatment. Of course, in cases where the disharmony of the skeleton itself is very severe Surgery may be necessary. However, in many cases, orthodontic treatment alone can alleviate the degree of asymmetry and yield satisfactory results. If your mouth or jaw looks crooked to one side when you look in the mirror, If the center of your face always feels awkward in photos, you might want to check it at least once. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than viewing asymmetry simply as “is it because only one side is used more?”, An approach that examines the bite and the facial midline together is necessary. FAQ Q1. How long does orthodontic treatment take? A1. It depends on the condition, but for a short period 4~6 months , usually One and a half to two years or more It takes time. In order to move teeth healthily Weak and persistent power This is because it is necessary. Q2. If I get braces for a protruding mouth, can my mouth look too deeply recessed? A2.

Even though they look similar on the outside ✔ Jawbone problems ✔ Teeth alignment problems ✔ Complex causes etc. Because the causes are different. today Causes of Adult Prognathism and Nonsurgical Correction Possibilities Let's learn about it. 1. What is a prognathism? ? 👋 An occlusion in which the lower teeth are positioned in front of the upper teeth. Medically speaking, prognathism is Crossbite It is called.

정재욱 원장26.03.09Views 411Likes 4 [Health Column] "Do I really need to pull a healthy tooth?" The biggest concern before braces, solved![10]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. The biggest reason why it is difficult to knock on the door of the dentist even after deciding to get braces is probably Fear of 'extraction' That's probably why. "Is it really okay to pull out my precious teeth?" This worry is a natural thought that anyone considering braces would have had at least once. In today's column, instead of unconditionally forcing extraction, Why extractions are necessary and what non-extraction methods are available instead I will explain in detail what it is. 1. What is the difference between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics? ? 👋 The key is how to create the 'space' for the teeth to move. . Extraction correction: This is a method of extracting a tooth and using the empty space to move the remaining teeth in an orderly manner. Non-extraction orthodontics: This is a method of creating the necessary space without extracting teeth, using various devices and techniques. 📌 A word from the director! Choosing unconditionally is not the answer. First, we need to consider how much 'free space' there is in our mouths to properly align our teeth. 2. In what situations is extraction absolutely necessary? ? 👋 For healthy rearrangement of teeth When 'space' is absolutely lacking Decide carefully. ✅ Lack of space for teeth rearrangement: This is a case where the space for the teeth to fit is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding. ✅ Requires posterior movement of the anterior segment: When the front teeth need to be moved back a lot to improve protrusion, extraction space is needed. ✅ Specific dental problems: This is the case when there is impacted tooth, severe malocclusion, or tooth that has already reached the end of its lifespan and is difficult to save. 3. Why do you have to extract the ‘premolars’? 👋 It is a strategic choice to preserve the original function of the teeth as much as possible. . Each of our teeth has its own role. The large molars that have a chewing function, the front teeth that affect the impression, and the canines that support the gum bone are very important. Therefore, the 'small molars (premolars)' are mainly extracted to minimize functional loss. Of course, if there are other teeth that are already in poor condition, those teeth may be extracted first to increase efficiency. 4. In what cases is non-surgical correction possible? 👋 Recommended for cases where the tooth arrangement is relatively gentle or skeletal expansion is possible. ✔️ I recommend non-surgical correction to these people! When the teeth are not overlapping or crooked to a severe degree When the degree of lip protrusion is minor and there is no need to insert a lot of front teeth When the arch (dental bone) is narrow and space can be secured by widening the bone When there is already a gap between the teeth and all that is needed is to fill the space 🛠️ Main methods of non-extraction orthodontics: Expansion of the Palace: Expand the width of the jawbone to create space. Interdental removal: Create a gap by finely trimming it within a range that does not cause damage to the teeth. Rear towing: Using a mini screw or similar, the entire molar is pushed back to create space. ❓ FAQ Q1. I'm worried that my mouth will look too swollen after getting braces. A1. This is the most common misconception! An experienced specialist can predict changes in facial shape in advance and precisely adjust the amount of movement, thereby preventing excessive sagging and creating a harmonious facial appearance. Q2. Isn't non-extraction orthodontic treatment that doesn't involve extraction of natural teeth always better? A2. It is good to keep your teeth, but if you insist on extraction when there is absolutely not enough space, you may have the side effect of your teeth becoming stretched out or your protruding teeth not being improved. 'Suitability' is more important than 'unconditionality' . Q3. Does extraction orthodontic treatment take much longer? A3. Because the teeth have to move farther, it may take a little longer than non-extraction. However, if the goal is to improve protrusion or correct malocclusion, extraction will provide more effective results. 📝 conclusion Neither extraction nor non-extraction is absolutely correct. 🦷 This is because each person's jawbone size, tooth density, and degree of protrusion are all different. The important thing is through precise analysis The least damaging method for my oral structure is to find. Rather than simply promising, "You don't have to vote unconditionally," A place where orthodontic specialists directly analyze and provide honest advice Start carefully.

정재욱 원장26.03.03Views 119Likes 3 [Health Column] Ulthera Lifting: Key Information from Experts, From Pain to Side Effects ✨[5]
hello, Director Jeong Ga-i of Lumiel Plastic Surgery no see. “ Have you ever worried about your jawline and sagging skin every time you look in the mirror? Growing older is a natural process, but actually going under the knife takes a lot of courage. Recently, it has been called 'the epitome of non-surgical lifting'. Ulthera This is precisely why it is attracting attention. Because it creates changes deep within the skin while allowing you to return to your daily life right away without surgery. Today, we'll honestly answer all your questions about Ulthera Lifting. Wellthera Lifting, what exactly does it do? 📚Non-surgical plastic surgery that directly pulls the target layer (SMAS) of the facelift without surgery. Well, it's called The only FDA-approved ultrasonic lifting device no see. Unlike general lasers, the key is to deliver ultrasonic energy to the SMAS layer (fascia layer) at a depth of 4.5 mm. 🔹 Key points SMAS layer target: In plastic surgery, the very layer that is actually being lifted is targeted. Check out the live video: It is very precise because the procedure is performed while directly viewing the skin layer with ultrasound imaging. Collagen regeneration: Simultaneously induces tissue contraction and collagen regeneration through thermal stimulation. 📌 A word from the director It goes beyond a simple dermatological procedure and is closer to ‘non-surgical plastic surgery.’ Because energy must be delivered while viewing real-time images, the skill of the practitioner determines the results. What changes can I expect after the Ulthera procedure? ? 📚 From the tightening immediately after the procedure to the elasticity that comes alive over time The appeal of Ulthera is that you can enjoy both ‘immediate effects’ and ‘slow-on effects’ at the same time. 🔹 Summary of effects by period Immediate effects (~1 week): The thermal energy immediately tightens the tissues and you will feel a slight pull in your jawline. Delayed effects (2-12 weeks): As collagen regenerates, real lifting begins and volume is naturally filled in. ✨ Duration: The effect is average 3~6 months It peaks at about 1~2 years The degree is maintained. The biggest advantage is the natural change that makes it feel like “my skin has returned to its original state.” Pain and the Procedure: Honestly, How Hurtful Is It? ? 📚 Tolerable but not comfortable; general anesthesia can be used if necessary. Many people are concerned about the pain, but I think it would be honest to say that "as the effect is certain, there is also a clear stimulation." 🔹 Intensity of pain by area ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very High): Jawline, forehead, cheekbones, etc. Area close to the bone (a tingling electrical stimulation) ⭐⭐⭐ (Normal): Ball, neck area (heavy pressure) 📌 Treatment process (takes about 30-60 minutes): Cleansing → Apply ultrasound gel → Check real-time image → Energy irradiation to each area (300-800 shots). For those who are afraid of pain, our hospital sleep anesthesia It is also used in parallel. Are there any side effects or precautions due to improper treatment? ? 📚Excessive energy is a no-no! Precise design is essential to prevent sagging eyes and nerve damage. Although Ulthera is a safe procedure, rare side effects may occur if performed by an unskilled practitioner. ⚠️ Side effects to watch out for: Ball-scraping phenomenon: Excessive treatment on a thin face can actually make the face look hollow. Nerve damage: Choosing the wrong area may result in facial asymmetry or numbness. ✔️ Normal reaction: Redness, swelling, and slight bruising immediately after the procedure will naturally disappear within a week. Who should benefit most from it, and who should avoid it? ? 📚 For early and mid-stage aging, Ulthera is the answer. For severe sagging, consider surgical methods. The appropriate treatment varies depending on the individual's skin thickness and fat distribution. ✅ I recommend it! Those who have started to show signs of early aging in their mid-30s to early 50s Those with a blurred jawline and deep nasolabial folds For those who are concerned about surgery but want a definite lifting effect ❌ I don't recommend it! Severe sagging in those over 60 (surgical lifting recommended) Extremely thin face with too little volume Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and those with metal implants in the surgical site Hospital selection checklist for satisfactory results ? 📚 Using genuine products is essential, and checking whether the product was 'performed directly' by a plastic surgeon is essential. Please be sure to check the items below before the procedure. Verify authenticity: Are you using genuine FDA-approved equipment and cartridges? Specialist treatment: Is the procedure performed directly by a plastic surgeon who is familiar with facial anatomy? Detailed Analysis: Do you carefully check your skin condition with ultrasound images before the procedure? Reasonable price: If it's too cheap, you should suspect the use of regenerative tips, etc. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Can I return to my daily life immediately after the procedure? ? A1. Yes, you can! Swelling and redness can be covered with makeup, and most patients can return to work the next day. However, if you have an important appointment, we recommend allowing about a week for the procedure. Q2. Which is better, Ulthera or Thermage? ? A2. The two treatments have different targets. Well, what a surprise For lifting that pulls the deep area (SMAS), Thermage It is beneficial for increasing elasticity in shallow areas (dermis layer). Recently, 'Ulthermaji', which provides both effects at the same time, has also become popular. Q3. There are also reviews saying it doesn't work. Why is that? A3. There are three main cases. ① You underwent a procedure that was not appropriate for your level of sagging, ② You used non-genuine equipment, or ③ You judged the results immediately after the procedure (1-2 weeks). Remember, the results will gradually appear over 2-3 months! conclusion The most honest way to turn back time Well, it may not be possible to completely restore your skin to that of a 20-year-old, You can turn back the clock to look 5 years younger than you are now. It's a very effective method. The important thing is to determine whether Ulthera is really the best for the condition of my face. Rather than simply following trends, consult with medical professionals with extensive knowledge of anatomy. An honest solution that suits me I hope you find it. If you find yourself looking in the mirror feeling unfamiliar, now is the time to consult a professional.

If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you may have thought this at least once. “Should we lay the railroad?”, “Is expensive always better?” There are many types of devices, but explaining them is difficult, and the cost differences are even more confusing. We've selected only the most confusing points for those considering braces. , Let's organize it so that you can reduce unnecessary choices. 1. Which orthodontic devices should I avoid? ✨There are devices that may seem cheap, but can be a burden in the long run. Many people choose it because of the cost, but There are also devices that may increase discomfort during the treatment process. ⚠️ ✔️ Resin bracket At first, it is less noticeable because it is similar to the color of the teeth. Curry, coffee, etc. Discolors easily It can be Because the strength is weak, there is a possibility of the device wearing out or falling off. Treatment may take longer ✔️ General ligation bracket It is a method of tying wires with thin wires. The end of the wire pokes into my mouth It can cause injury High friction can slow down tooth movement → “If you choose based solely on the initial cost, the treatment process may become more difficult.” 2. Which is most important: cost, aesthetics, or speed? ✨Corrective devices vary depending on ‘my priorities’. Not every device is a good choice for everyone. I need to start by organizing the criteria I consider most important. 🔍 ✔️ If cost-effectiveness and performance are important to you? metal bracket A relatively inexpensive yet robust method You should take into account the obvious appearance ✔️ Want a treatment that doesn't leave any marks? Invisalign or Lingual correction Invisalign: Removable, Aesthetic Lingual braces: invisible, but cost and adaptation period must be considered. ✔️ Want quick treatment and less pain? Self-ligating brackets (Clippy, etc.) There is less friction, so teeth move relatively quickly. Less pain and fewer visits This is the preferred method for busy office workers. 3. What are the criteria for selecting a dental clinic that affect the outcome of orthodontic treatment? ✨What’s more important than the device is ‘who is providing the treatment.’ Even if it's the same device Your experience may vary depending on where and how you receive treatment. 🔸 Be sure to check during consultation At the dental clinic What device do you use the most? self-ligating device Whether to use When the device falls off Whether additional costs will be incurred 📌 Questions like these It serves as a criterion for assessing how much consideration is given to treatment efficiency and patient convenience. FAQ Q1. Do self-ligating brackets really shorten the treatment period? A1. Because there is less friction compared to general devices, in some cases the treatment period may be shortened. Q2. Can anyone get Invisalign? A2. While most are possible, bracket orthodontics may be more appropriate depending on the condition of your teeth. Adherence to the wear time is important. Q3. Are metal brackets cheaper because they are less effective? A3. No. While performance and precision are excellent, aesthetics may dictate preference. conclusion Orthodontic treatment is a process that can last from as little as one year to as long as two years or more. Rather than deciding based solely on price or surrounding reviews, It is important to choose the right one for your lifestyle and oral health. ✨ Rather than rushing blindly It is important to establish a treatment plan through sufficient consultation. It can make or break the outcome and your satisfaction.

Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. 💉 As flu vaccination season approaches, we're hearing a lot of questions like, "Why a trivalent vaccine this year?" 📌 In the past, quadrivalent vaccines were the standard, but now that the number has been reduced, there are concerns that the effectiveness may be reduced. However, this change is closer to an 'optimization' than a downgrade. There is clear evidence behind this in surveillance data from global health organizations. From now on, I will slowly explain the reason. Why are flu vaccines divided into quadrivalent and trivalent? 📢 Included in vaccine A distinction that refers to the number of types of viruses no see. The quadrivalent and trivalent in the flu vaccine 👉 How many flu viruses are in the vaccine? It means. Past quadrivalent vaccines Type A, Type 2 Type B 2 Currently, there are three vaccines Type A, Type 2 Type B 1 📌 So it looks like the number has decreased by one, This change Selective adjustments to reflect trends That's the key point. What is the scientific reason for the change from 4 to 3? 📢 Results excluding non-prevalent viruses no see. Every year, the World Health Organization (WHO) predicts the flu viruses most likely to be prevalent that year and issues recommendations. From the 2024–2025 season onwards Type A (H1N1, H3N2): Same as before Type B: ❌ Excluding Yamagata series ⭕ Only maintain Victorian series The reason is simple. Because the B-type Yamagata series has rarely been detected in humans no see. Why was the B-type Yamagata series excluded? 📢 Because it was observed to have ‘virtually disappeared’ through objective surveillance. According to data from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, etc. In recent years B-type Victoria series detected in large numbers Type B Yamagata series is rarely confirmed This does not simply mean “it has decreased”, It is judged to be not actually popular It has been done. 📌 So WHO Rather than including one unnecessary virus species Focusing on the currently prevalent virus I chose . If it's a trivalent vaccine, won't the flu prevention effect be reduced? 📢 No, there is no basis for believing that the preventive effect has been reduced. This is the part that most people are worried about. But the trivalent vaccine ✔️ Contains only essential viruses ✔️ Designed to fit the current trend in other words, It is more accurate to understand it as an 'optimized vaccine' that has removed unnecessary components. Just because the number has decreased The scope of protection has not been significantly reduced. Is this change a decision specific to a specific country? 📢 This is a standard that is being applied simultaneously by public health organizations around the world. This transition to a trivalent vaccine WHO US CDC Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Japan, UK, etc. 📌 A trend that is applied equally worldwide no see. In that it is not a choice of a specific country or a specific hospital. There is no reason to be anxious. FAQ Q1. I had a 4-year-old last year, but this year I have a 3-year-old, so I'm worried. Will it be okay? A1. Yes. With a reasonable composition, excluding viruses that are not currently prevalent, there is no reason to believe that the preventive effect is insufficient. Q2. Would it be a better option to request the quadrivalent vaccine at the hospital? A2. Current health guidelines recommend a trivalent vaccine, and there is no scientific reason to insist on a quadrivalent vaccine. Q3. What is more important than the type of vaccine? A3. More than any other family or species Vaccination at the right time This is the most important. conclusion ✔️ The change from 4 to 3 is not a downgrade. ✔️ Except for non-prevalent viruses reasonable adjustment no see. ✔️ Health organizations around the world are applying the same standards. 💉 To prevent winter flu Rather than worrying unnecessarily Vaccination at the right time Focus on . If necessary, you can get vaccinated after sufficient consultation with medical staff.

Why do overbites occur and do they always require orthodontic treatment? ✨Crowd teeth are an alignment problem that occurs when there is not enough space for the teeth to fit. The commonly referred to 'addiction' When there is not enough space in the jawbone to align the teeth It happens. especially Canines are the last teeth to come out Well, if there is not enough space, it is easy to get pushed out. ✔️ One of the concerns of patients during actual treatment is My overbite was so stressful that I had to cover my mouth with my hand every time I laughed. ✨ Overbite is not just a matter of appearance. In terms of dental care and oral health, Why Organized Arrangement Is Important It becomes. 🔸 In this case, you should consider correction. When you smile, your dentures show first When taking pictures is burdensome As you get older, it becomes more prominent ✔️ Important points White spots themselves rarely cause pain, In many cases, it is not a serious condition that progresses directly to cavities. 2. Is it really necessary to have orthodontic treatment? ✨Bracketing is an ‘option’, not an unconditional prerequisite. One of the biggest reasons why people hesitate to get braces is It's the fear of having to pull out your natural teeth. There are several ways to free up space. ✔️ Expand teeth laterally or forward ✔️ Interdental removal ✔️ or Extraction ⚠️ If you are severely lacking space, If you want to straighten your teeth without changing your appearance, Extraction is a more effective option This could be it. 📌 As one of the actual clinical cases, I underwent a 'unilateral extraction' where only one small molar on the side with the protruding tooth was extracted. As a result, we were able to complete a natural-looking dentition while minimizing the number of teeth extracted. 👉 What's important is Not about extraction, but a plan that suits my condition no see. 3. How long does braces take and what changes will occur? ✨Orthodontic treatment is not only about moving teeth, but also about ‘restoring self-confidence.’ After attaching the orthodontic device approximately About 7 months ago After passing Changes in the alignment of teeth are noticeable. In the case of the patient whose clinical case was shared above, approximately 1 year and 6 months I removed the device after a while, Even though only one side was extracted Very natural result with the midline aligned I got it. ✨ A word from a patient after treatment “Now I can laugh out loud with peace of mind.” Correction of overbite It is not simply a treatment to straighten teeth, The process of regaining a smiling face and everyday confidence This is also true. FAQ Q1. Is it necessary to extract the canine teeth when correcting overbite? A1. No. Since canines have long roots and are important teeth that affect one's impression, they are usually Functionally replaceable premolars Create space by extracting . Q2. Will my face shape change a lot if I have my teeth extracted? A2. Whether or not to extract Degree of lip protrusion and bone condition Analyze and decide. If the mouth does not come out much, Direction to minimize changes in appearance It is important to have sufficient consultation with a specialist to plan accordingly. Q3. How long does it usually take to correct overbite? A3. It depends on the individual's condition, but general overbite correction is About 1 year and 6 months to 2 years It takes about 10 minutes. In some cases, partial correction or interdental removal may shorten the period. conclusion The key to correcting overbite is not ‘unconditional’ but ‘customized’. What is more important than whether or not to extract the tooth ✔️ Accurately understanding the condition of my teeth and bones ✔️ Meet a specialist who will create a detailed treatment plan that suits you. Rather than making a decision right now, Get an accurate diagnosis of your condition What is the best choice for me? Start by consulting!

That moment A white spot left on the front teeth You will be surprised when you discover it! “Is it a cavity?”, “Can it be reversed?” Many people actually visit hospitals because of these concerns. Today, the teeth are White Spot What is this, We'll explain everything from why it occurs to how to manage and treat it. 1. Why do white spots appear? ✨This is a ‘demineralization phenomenon’ that occurs when calcium is lost from the surface of the teeth. White spots are not caused by tooth decay, Demineralization, a phenomenon in which calcium is lost from the tooth surface It is created as follows. 📌 There are two main causes! 🔸 congenital factors When calcium is not evenly deposited during tooth formation If some parts are partially decalcified due to a specific influence 🔸 Acquired factors (poor oral care) Food and dental plaque around braces are not cleaned properly, allowing bacteria to create acid. The acid erodes the teeth and leaves spots. ✔️ Important points White spots themselves rarely cause pain, In many cases, it is not a serious condition that progresses directly to cavities. 2. Can I relieve it at home? ✨Complete removal is difficult, but it can be blurred by managing ‘nutrient supply’. White spot It's difficult to erase it dramatically at home. However, through consistent management Mildly relieved It could be possible. 📌 A typical home care method — using 'Tooth Mousse' 🔸 How to use After brushing your teeth, apply to white spots using your fingers or other tools. Maintain for more than 3 minutes to supply minerals to the tooth surface 🔸 principle Replenishes calcium and minerals in teeth to alleviate demineralization ✔️ Rather than for immediate removal purposes For nutritional supply and management purposes It's close! The more consistently you use it, the easier it is to feel the effects. (Example of Toothmus) 3. What treatments are available if I want to get rid of it professionally? ✨If you want quick and definite improvement, a dental approach is necessary. If the white spot is large or noticeable, By consulting a specialist A treatment that can be clearly seen There are some. 📌 1) Resin treatment Delete the spot area very finely How to fill with a resin similar to the color of your teeth to make it smooth 👉 The most common and simple way ⚠️ However, there is a downside that the border area may become discolored over time. 📌 2) Laminate (including uncut laminate) A method of covering spots by attaching a thin film to the front of the teeth Recently, there are methods that require little tooth removal, resulting in high aesthetic satisfaction. FAQ Q1. Are white spots also cavities? A1. Broadly speaking, it can be seen as a trace of early caries. However, since there are many cases where there is no pain and the progression has stopped, it may not necessarily be a condition that requires treatment. Q2. Will it disappear naturally over time? A2. Spots caused by decalcification It is difficult for it to disappear completely naturally. Although a slight blurring is possible, professional treatment is required if you want aesthetic improvement. Q3. What is the most reliable method of prevention? A3. Brushing your teeth is key no see! Especially during orthodontic treatment, dental plaque can easily accumulate around the device, causing demineralization. You need to take more thorough care of your teeth with a toothbrush or interdental brush specifically for orthodontics. conclusion White spots that appear after braces are not a serious disease, but The confidence of a smile It is an aesthetic concern that can cause you to drop it. ✔ Relief with mineral supplementation at home ✔ If it is bothersome, consider specialized treatment such as resin or laminate. ✔ If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, brushing your teeth more thoroughly is the most important preventive measure ✨ Above all, Because the treatment method that is appropriate for each person's current condition is different, Choose the most natural and safe method through expert consultation do Smile D Dental Clinic CEO Oh Su-hwan - Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry - Department of Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry - Orthodontic specialist certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare - Regular member of the Korean Orthodontic Association - Completed internship and residency at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, Department of Orthodontics - International member of the American Academy of Orthodontics (AAO) - International member of the World Federation of Orthodontics (WFO) - Regular member of the Korean Orthodontic Association - Certified by the Korean Orthodontic Association See more expert columns from Smile Dental Clinic Director Oh Su-hwan 📎 [Expert Column] Is transparent braces, a wire-free orthodontic treatment, really unnoticeable? 📎 [Expert Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. There is a concern I hear most often before getting orthodontic treatment. “They say that if you get braces, the wrinkles on your nasolabial folds will get deeper…” “I saw a review saying that my cheeks looked thinner and more slender.” I really understand these concerns. But in reality Wrinkles on the nasolabial folds = Not due to correction, but a problem of 'relative change and habit' This is much more common. today The relationship between correction and nasolabial folds , and In what cases can wrinkles appear deeper? I'll explain it to you easily. 1. Does orthodontic treatment really cause wrinkles on the forehead? 👋 Nasolabial folds are often visible due to 'changes in relative depth' rather than 'movement of teeth'. If you correct it, your mouth will go back. At this time, the starting point of the wrinkles on the forehead also moves backwards. Most of the time, the direction in which the wrinkles appear shallower It changes into . But why do I feel like my wrinkles have gotten deeper? ✔ Let me explain it easily with an example The cheeks are the same, but the mouth is sunken inward. Let me think about it. → Then, the ‘valley’ between the ball and the mouth may appear relatively prominent. That is, not “sagging” Existing wrinkles appear more prominent It's just one day. When you feel like wrinkles have suddenly appeared on your arms, Not just “creating wrinkles” Check if it is due to relative volume change I'd like to try it. 2. Why do changes in the nasolabial folds occur during correction? 👋 Lifestyle habits, muscle changes, and treatment design are the main causes. 🔸 1) Bad lip habits To hide the braces If you keep pursing your lips, muscle use increases → wrinkles become stronger. It can lead to. 🔸 2) Excessive treatment plan If you push your teeth back too far, → Okni and Hapjuki mouth As it becomes more sagging, it can actually look like sagging. This is the part that the director emphasized. Whether or not a precise diagnosis is possible based on experience is very important. 🔸 3) Reduction in masticatory muscles During braces treatment, you will be asked to avoid hard foods. → As the chewing muscles decrease Your cheeks may appear sagging and the area under your cheekbones may appear hollow. → As a result, the wrinkles on your arms may appear stronger. As long as the food is not too hard A balanced diet that naturally uses the muscles around the mouth It helps. 3. How should I plan my correction to reduce the worry about wrinkles on my forehead? 👋 We need to look at the entire facial bone structure, not just the arrangement of the teeth. 🔹 [Expert Diagnosis] Full facial analysis is key Cheek fat amount Skin elasticity The ratio of the head to the lower body Front teeth angle Upper and lower jaw balance All of these elements must be reviewed and corrected. A facial line where the nasolabial folds are not prominent can make. 🔹 [Treatment Process] Speed control is very important If you push your teeth back too quickly, → Wrinkles may appear deeper because the skin and soft tissues cannot adapt. The impatience of “I want to finish it quickly!” can actually accentuate wrinkles. 🔹 [Lifestyle] Skin Care + Facial Muscle Maintenance 💧 Drink enough water 🌞 Sunscreen is essential 🙂 facial muscle exercises : Put air in the ball and hold for 10 seconds Practice opening the corners of your mouth wide This is basic care that anyone can do without side effects. 4. How do nasolabial folds change during and after correction? 👋 Most cases recover naturally within 6 months after the end of orthodontic treatment. ✔ After removing the braces Chewing muscle recovery Restoring cheek volume soft tissue stabilization After going through this process Most wrinkles that appeared deep during correction will return to their previous state. 5. Is it possible to have dermatological procedures performed concurrently during orthodontic treatment? 👋 It is possible, but 'timing' is important. Because the lip, chin, and cheekbone lines continue to change during correction, After the outline is somewhat established (finishing stage ~ after correction is completed) I recommend this procedure. ❓ FAQ Q1. Will the deepened nasolabial folds return after correction? A1. Yes, mostly Recover naturally It will work. Changes caused by the thickness of the braces and the reduction of masticatory muscles stabilize within about 6 months after the device is removed through diet and muscle recovery. Q2. If I get orthodontic treatment, will I always have a 'happocket'? A2. No. The mouth of the bamboo is When teeth are pushed back too far As a side effect, By accurately calculating the amount of movement through a precise diagnosis, even if teeth are extracted, they can be corrected to create a natural and sophisticated line. Q3. Is orthodontic treatment for people in their 40s and 50s more dangerous due to loss of elasticity? A3. It is true that skin elasticity is low, Speed control and non-extraction priority design It is possible to do so safely enough. 📝 conclusion Orthodontic treatment Create wrinkles on the forehead is a common misconception. rather In many cases, it improves as the balance between the chin and mouth improves. The key is ✔ Precision diagnosis , ✔ Speed control , ✔ A plan that takes into account the entire facial structure no see. Rather than delaying correction due to vague fears, Consult a specialist A plan that reflects my face shape, skin elasticity, and even the condition of my masticatory muscles. Try setting it up. It will lead to slightly healthier and more natural changes.

This is precisely why people who experience recurring headaches, tinnitus, brain fatigue, or chronic fatigue, especially immediately after surgery or procedures, often come to us. today Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps Speed Recovery , and Why the effect increases with repetition I will explain it to you. How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy work? 👉 In a high-pressure environment, more oxygen dissolves in the plasma, creating a foundation for recovery. hyperbaric oxygen environment In Oxygen The amount that dissolves directly into the plasma increases significantly do. Normally, red blood cells carry oxygen, but under high pressure, As the plasma itself contains a lot of oxygen, Oxygen reaches damaged and inflamed areas much faster do.

For chronic fatigue, it is better to receive treatment consistently at regular intervals to ensure stable changes. Why does hyperbaric oxygen therapy become more effective with repetition? 👉Because short-term relief and 'structural recovery' are different Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is It feels refreshing even after receiving it just once I often feel that way. However, “structural changes” such as tissue recovery and reduction of inflammation Repeated oxygen supply is maintained for a certain period of time It should be. ✔️ Damaged tissue → Regeneration takes time ✔️ Chronic fatigue or brain fatigue → Repeated stabilizing stimulation is required ✔️ Maintaining a recovery environment is essential for stable results. That is, beyond short-term “refreshment” The process of ensuring that the body maintains a stable recovery environment is the core of the treatment. no see.

hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. As we age, there are times when the face in the mirror feels more unfamiliar than before. The jawline becomes blurred , there are times when the entire face appears to be sunken and the impression feels heavy. “Is it okay to have surgery at this age?” “Isn’t it too late?” The worry of “what is this?” naturally follows. One of the options being considered at this time is facelift surgery, which is not a surgery that creates a 'completely different face', but rather The process of organizing the structure that has become sagging and disordered to create a more comfortable and natural impression. It's close to . This article covers the most important topics in actual clinical practice. Safety, effectiveness, and realistic selection criteria Let's organize it calmly, focusing on . What is a facelift? 🟢Facial lifting surgery is not a surgery that just pulls the outer skin, but a surgery that stably rearranges the facial structure upward. Facelift surgery is a procedure that supports the face, along with the skin that naturally sags as we age. Clean up the fascia layer as well This is a surgery that smooths out the overall contour. Simply “pulling hard” isn’t the key A change that fits naturally It is important to organize the structure to create The goal is not to ‘look old’ Restoring a neat impression If you value natural results, it's more important to focus on 'how much you pull' than 'how much you pull'. “How to rebalance the facial structure” I need counseling that focuses on . What changes can I expect from a facelift? 🟢The key is “organization and a comfortable impression” rather than a dramatic transformation. After facelift surgery, the blurred jawline, sagging cheeks, and sagging facial contours are corrected. The tired-looking impression has become much more comfortable and stable. It often changes to . The facial lines are refined Relieves heavy impression caused by sagging Expect a naturally organized image What if you're concerned about pain, recovery, or side effects? 🟢 Recovery is gradual, and it is important to avoid excessive surgical plans. After surgery, you may experience some pulling, swelling, and bruising, but these will usually subside over time. In most cases, you can return to your daily life after 2-3 weeks. ⚠️ But the important thing is, Excessive pulling Excessively large surgical scope In this case It can lead to unnatural results , Plan tailored to your individual needs This is more important than anything else. Be sure to check “Is this surgery planned safely?” and “Is it within the scope that takes my skin and living environment into consideration?” Who is it suitable for and in what cases should one be cautious? 🟢It is important to consider your current situation and living environment together. ✔️ In these cases, facial contouring surgery is suitable If your face looks heavy and dull due to sagging skin In cases where satisfaction is low with simple procedures alone Middle-aged and older people who want to keep their entire facial line stable ⚠️ Be careful in this case When it is difficult to manage overall health If you expect dramatic changes in a short period of time An environment where it is difficult to secure sufficient recovery time What are the important criteria to know before undergoing facelift surgery? 🟢Set realistic goals + judge based on natural results Facelift surgery is more about “how much is pulled” than “how much is pulled”. Will it fit together naturally as time passes? is more important. Rather than making big changes at once To fit the required range in the current state A step-by-step and safe approach is recommended. Rather than deciding based solely on trends and cost, My current condition + expected changes + realistic chances of recovery It is wisest to look at these three together. FAQ Q1. Is the effect really that great? A1. Rather than “a face that is getting younger”, Transform the messy structure into a comfortable and organized impression The key is to do it. Q2. How long is the maintenance period? A2. We generally recommend that the results last for 5-10 years. However, this may vary depending on individual skin condition, aging rate, and lifestyle habits. It's recommended that you discuss realistic expectations during your consultation. Q3. The cost is a burden, but can I choose based solely on cost? A3. Costs vary greatly depending on the scope, method, and safety plan of the surgery. Rather than simply choosing based on affordability, Is the cost included in the plan that suits your facial condition? is more important. Conclusion ✨ Facelift surgery is not a surgery that “makes the face different”. A choice that stably straightens the facial structure that has become sagging no see. Because the maintenance period is relatively long, it is not a surgery that can be recommended to everyone. ✔️ Current status ✔️ Health conditions ✔️ Expected changes A careful approach is needed that considers all three together. The more consultation you have to decide on the scope and method that is right for you, the higher your satisfaction will be. Please remember that this is a medical process that requires understanding and choice, not a quick decision!

In normal breathing, oxygen is mainly red blood cells is transported through. But when it comes to high pressure environments, A state in which the plasma itself can hold more oxygen It changes to . This causes the entire blood to be like Acts like an oxygen reservoir It will be done. ✔️ (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy device) ✨As a result, To damaged tissue or inflamed areas A foundation for faster and deeper oxygen delivery This is created. Cells gain energy to begin recovery, blood circulation becomes much smoother, A flow of calming follows, with the nervous system overly tense.

I'll let you know soon . 1. Why do the center lines of teeth shift? ? The main reason why the center line of the teeth is not aligned with the center of the face is Two things It is organized as . 🔸 Dental causes ( teeth · gum problems ) When the left and right teeth are different sizes When there is an imbalance in the arrangement of teeth due to overbite on only one side When teeth are pushed to one side due to tooth loss Like this Asymmetry of tooth arrangement This can cause a shift in the center line. . 🔸 Facial structural causes ( chin · nasal bone problems ) Asymmetry of the jawbone itself Deviated septum ( A condition in which the nasal bone dividing the nostrils is crooked ) If it is a structural cause, if necessary ENT · plastic surgery We also see patients together . But the important point is ! If there is an accompanying dental occlusion problem, Improvement is possible with just correction. There are many cases . 2. tooth Oh, is it important to align the center line? ? Is facial balance more important? ? 👉 Both are important, but ' Purpose and Standards ' This is different . This is one of the questions I get asked a lot. . “ Is the centerline of the teeth important? , Is facial symmetry important? ? " ✔️ Harmony between the center of the face and the center line of the upper teeth First, check whether the center line of the face and the center line of the upper teeth naturally align when you smile. This criterion is important when evaluating ‘aesthetics (natural smile)’. ✔️ Alignment of the center lines of the upper and lower teeth Next, How closely do the center lines of the upper and lower teeth match? I see. But the important point here is, It doesn't have to be perfectly 0mm! The molar occlusion is stable Center line difference within 1mm ramen There may be no need to force the teeth to move. Also, according to the standards of the Korean Orthodontic Association, Center line misalignment within 1.5 mm on both sides Is Normal dental range Also considered as . in other words , Correct occlusion + aesthetic harmony , The direction of correction is determined by considering the two criteria in a balanced manner. . If you have any aesthetic criteria you want , Depending on the individual's condition, treatment may be chosen to further align the center line. . FAQ Q1. Does a misaligned centerline of teeth mean facial asymmetry? ? A1. No, it's not . The center line can be misaligned just from teeth alignment issues. . Structural causes such as jawbones must be distinguished through diagnosis. . Q2. Do I have to align the center line exactly to make it look pretty? ? A2. Aesthetically, the more naturally the center lines align, the more harmonious it is. , Functionally, 1mm My difference Sometimes ramen isn't a big problem . Q3. If there is a structural problem, do I necessarily need surgery? ? A3. Even if there is a structural cause There are many cases that can be improved with just correction. . After an accurate diagnosis, we determine whether or not to use it concurrently. . conclusion Although tooth centerline misalignment may seem like a simple aesthetic problem, In reality stability of occlusion , Harmony of the entire face , Functional comfort These must be considered together. The extent to which the center line is misaligned Functionally problem-free range It could be, on the other way When occlusal imbalance affects the balance of the face There is also. So rather than judging on your own, It is very important to determine the exact cause through professional diagnosis.

Contrary to statements like “it’s simple” or “you only need to slightly fix the front teeth” when searching for partial orthodontics There are even claims that it has "many side effects" and that "you absolutely must not do it"...

Can anyone receive partial orthodontics? ▶ If you make a decision based solely on appearances, unexpected results may occur! Partial correction is simply Just make your front teeth slightly straight! It is not a treatment. If you judge based only on the visible arrangement, rather Cases where the result is more unsatisfactory than before the correction There is also. because The shape of the front teeth silver Overall occlusion (molar bite), asymmetry, degree of protrusion Because it is all connected. are you. ✔ People like these Partial correction target This could be It's not a protruding mouth The molar occlusion is normal and In cases where only the front teeth are slightly misaligned Partial correction is a treatment with clear 'cases where it is possible' and 'cases where it should not be done'. You must first check the overall diagnosis (occlusion, angle, root direction, asymmetry). 2. Is partial orthodontics really a simple treatment? ▶ If even one tooth moves, the whole set is affected! Partial orthodontics may seem like "just move the misaligned teeth slightly and you're done!" In actual medical practice A much more complex and precise plan This is necessary. My front teeth look a little crooked, so I want to get partial braces. Upon examination, there was a full protrusion, and there was a risk of it sticking out further. I think we just need to change the location a little... → If the occlusion is altered, the shape of the mouth may change. Teeth are connected to each other Because it exists Even if you move just one Total occlusion, root direction, tooth angle, gum health It affects up to. Therefore, even small changes during treatment must be carefully checked, and If a movement different from expectations occurs Situations also arise where the plan needs to be revised. You can do it. 3. Why do side effects occur after partial orthodontics? ▶ Lack of accurate diagnosis or failure to manage the treatment process is the main cause. Typical side effects after partial correction It is as follows. 🔸 My front teeth are straight, but The feeling that the entire bite is misaligned 🔸 Teeth appear to protrude further forward or Changes in mouth shape and facial lines 🔸 Between teeth A gap (space) is created Most of these problems Before treatment Occlusion, Asymmetry, Angle, Root Direction If you did not check the back sufficiently or In accordance with changes during treatment When the plan could not be finely adjusted It occurs. Especially if there is a height difference in the teeth around the front teeth, or When the direction of movement changes from the plan Cases where you need to switch to full correction There actually are. Especially with partial orthodontics, abandon the idea that "it is simple because it only involves a little movement." on the other way Treatment requiring a more precise plan Please keep in mind that. FAQ 💬 Q1. What criteria should I use to choose between partial and full correction? A1. It cannot be determined based solely on the visible alignment of the front teeth. Occlusion, asymmetry, presence of protrusion, root direction You need to check the back If the specific conditions are met, partial correction is possible; otherwise, full correction is a more stable choice. Q2. Is the treatment period shorter for partial orthodontics? A2. That is correct. If you meet the criteria, improvement can be achieved relatively quickly. but Diagnosis, planning, and progress checks should actually be even more thorough. The point is the same. Q3. Can the shape of the mouth become unnatural if only the front teeth are corrected? A3. It is possible. If you do not consider the overall occlusion and harmony This is because it can result in the front teeth protruding further or the face looking different. Conclusion ✨ Partial correction is It is not an easy and simple treatment, but a high-difficulty treatment suitable only for those who meet precise criteria. no see. However, for those who meet the conditions well, you can expect fast and efficient results. ✔ Don't make a decision based only on the visible arrangement. ✔ Check if the treatment is right for me through a comprehensive diagnosis ✔ Establishing a plan after consulting thoroughly with a specialist These three things are more important than anything else.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Today, we will discuss the topic that most people who are about to undergo orthodontic treatment are curious about: 'Corrective pain' Let's talk about it. Orthodontic treatment is a long journey to a beautiful smile, Many people worry about the pain they experience when they first start. When you actually start orthodontic treatment, you may feel pain in your teeth or discomfort when chewing. But this pain is actually, A positive sign that your body is adapting to the correction. This is also true. From now on, the reasons why orthodontic pain occurs and how to relieve it, And we will look at the difference in pain depending on the correction method. 1. Why does orthodontic pain occur? “Why does it hurt when I just move my teeth slightly?” I'm sure everyone has asked themselves this question at least once. The reason is that between the teeth and gums Periodontal ligament Because. This tissue moves when teeth move. Buffer role It is a very important structure that does this. There is a fine Nerves and blood vessels Because they are densely distributed, they react sensitively to external stimuli. When braces push teeth in one direction As the periodontal ligament is compressed, blood flow is reduced, In this process Prostaglandin A substance called is secreted. This substance stimulates the nerves and causes pain. commonly 1~4 hours Appear inside 2~3 days It persists and then gradually disappears. That is, the pain felt in the early stages of correction Evidence that teeth are actually starting to move Yes. 2. Differences in pain depending on the correction method There are several different methods of orthodontic treatment depending on the individual's oral condition and treatment goals. Depending on the method Pain pattern It may be slightly different, Representatively, it is often compared to Three types Let's take a look. ✔️Non-extraction vs. extraction orthodontics It is easy to think that extraction will hurt more, In reality, there is not much difference in pain between the two methods. The degree of pain is more important than whether or not the tooth is extracted. Direction and intensity of force applied to teeth Because it depends. in other words, Non-extraction orthodontics However, if there is a lot of movement, it can actually be more painful. ✔️Ceramic braces vs. Clippy C braces Clippy C correction It is a device that uses a self-ligating method without a rubber ring, and has the advantage of low friction. Ceramic braces You may feel a little less pain, but There really isn't much difference. Since the principle of moving teeth is the same in both methods, it is more important to consider the type of device. Control of tooth movement and orthodontic force This has a greater impact on the pain. ✔️Lacrimal vs. Lingual Correction Orthodontics The outside of the teeth, Lingual correction is a method of attaching a device to the inside. Lingual correction The gap between the brackets is short and the tongue can easily touch the device. Pain at first And the discomfort may be felt more greatly. the other side Orthodontics is relatively quick to adapt, but is susceptible to external stimuli. gum pain This may be accompanied by: 3. How to relieve pain Although correction is difficult to do completely pain-free, Lifestyle habits Even with just a little adjustment, you can adapt much more easily. 1️⃣ Lower the temperature in your mouth Lowering the temperature of the mouth with cold water, ice, or ice cream can dull the nerve response and relieve pain. However, if you use a cold compress for too long, your gums may become irritated. Limited to 10 to 15 minutes Please do it. 2️⃣ Gentle vibration cycle to the teeth You can relieve pressure on your teeth by gently chewing sugarless gum or using a dental vibrator. 3️⃣Take painkillers If necessary Tylenol You can take the same over-the-counter pain reliever to help reduce the pain. step, Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin It is best to avoid them as they can slow down tooth movement. 4️⃣ Eat soft foods In the early stages of orthodontic treatment, chewing stimulation can worsen the pain. Porridge, soup, steamed eggs, tofu We recommend a soft diet. 5️⃣ Get enough sleep and rest Correction is a process in which subtle tissue changes occur. lack of sleep Ina stress may slow down the recovery from pain. 4. The process of adaptation is more important than pain. Orthodontics is not a short-term treatment. Because the body is in the process of finding a new balance It may feel strange and uncomfortable at first, but most of the pain will go away within a week or so. “It hurts” is a sign that the correction is progressing well. If you can get through that time, a more even and beautiful smile will surely await you. 😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Reverse Correction: Why Re-Correction Is Necessary After Correction 🔗 [Health Column] Open Bite Treatment and Fundamental Solutions 🔗 [Health Column] 3 Tips for Quickly Finishing Your Orthodontic Treatment 🔗 [Health Column] Invisalign Braces: A Complete Guide | Benefits, Wear Time, and Cost of Transparent Braces

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. I started orthodontic treatment with the dream of a beautiful smile. But what if, after treatment, you find yourself smiling awkwardly or experiencing unexpected facial changes that make you anxious? Orthodontics is not simply about straightening teeth. Balance and function of the entire face It is a delicate treatment that must be considered together. However, if the teeth move more than planned or if the procedure is performed without considering changes in facial appearance, New discomforts may arise, such as, 'The protrusion was resolved, but I now have a new canine tooth.' 1. What is ‘Okni’? Compared to the roots of teeth, crown (visible part) This refers to a state where the inward tilt is excessive. Although the teeth appear to be even on the outside, in reality Side effects of abnormally tilted tooth axis are you. In this case, it is not just a cosmetic issue, If your pronunciation becomes inaccurate, I feel discomfort when chewing food. Unbalanced pressure may also be placed on the temporomandibular joint. 2. The treatment needed in this case: 'reverse correction' As the name suggests, ‘reverse correction’ Treatment to return teeth to the opposite direction of misalignment Tell me. Many people ask, “Isn’t this the same thing as re-correction?” but they are different. division Recalibration reverse correction Point of view After correction Under correction cause Dissatisfaction with results/recurrence Excessive movement of teeth purpose Full recalibration Correction of wrong direction ✔️That is, reverse correction During correction Correcting incorrect tooth movement Precision tuning process are you. As treatment directions change, meticulous planning and clinical experience are important. 3. Why reverse correction is difficult Reverse correction requires a much higher level of precision than regular correction. Teeth that have already moved Adjust in the opposite direction again Because of this, even a small error can have a big impact on the overall occlusion. ✔️ Technical elements required for reverse correction Special bracket : Use of a custom device designed to guide teeth into the correct angle Dedicated wire : A special wire with a bent front section that allows for fine force control Miniscrew : Precisely control tooth movement by pulling the molars forward or securing a fixed point This whole process not only speeds up the correction, Because we have to consider the reaction of the alveolar bone (the bone that supports the teeth) and gum tissue. Abundant clinical experience is key are you. 4. What if I'm worried about side effects? Since this is a treatment to move teeth again, many people worry, “Will my gums or roots become weak?” but Experienced orthodontist and specialist If you can finely control the speed and direction of tooth movement, It can minimize the risk of root resorption or periodontal damage. However, excessive back-correction or repetitive movement Because it can cause fatigue accumulation in the alveolar bone, Sufficient analysis and planning before treatment This is a must. ✔️Self-diagnosis checklist Does any of the following apply to you? If two or more apply, it may be necessary to reverse the correction. Check items Yes/No I'm getting braces, but my front teeth look too close together. ☐ / ☐ When I close my mouth, my lips feel thin and dry. ☐ / ☐ When I smile, my teeth are barely visible. ☐ / ☐ After correction, pronunciation is awkward or speaking is uncomfortable ☐ / ☐ When chewing food, force is applied to only one side ☐ / ☐ 💡 Lifestyle habits to watch out for during braces bad habits How to improve Rest your chin on one side Consciously stop the habit of resting your chin on your hand Chew solid food often Eat mainly soft foods The habit of rubbing one's teeth with one's tongue Tongue position correction training (palatal attachment) Irregular visits Strictly adhere to regular visit schedule 5.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. When you think of orthodontics, you usually think of it as a treatment to straighten your teeth, but these days, it is not just about straightening your teeth. Chin position and overall face shape The importance of integrated functional and aesthetic correction is increasingly being emphasized. One of the face shapes that many people are particularly concerned about is 'No chin' It can also be improved with orthodontic treatment. today Characteristics of the jawless class functional problems , and in reality Orthodontic treatment I'll tell you in detail how it works. 1. What is a no-brainer? No chin This refers to a face shape in which the lower jaw is positioned backwards from its normal position or the jaw itself appears small. When viewed from the front, the jawline is blurred, and when viewed from the side, the chin is barely visible, making the boundary between the neck and chin appear ambiguous. An accurate diagnosis is necessary because it can affect not only the shape of the face but also the occlusion, temporomandibular joint, and respiratory function. ✔️ Self-Diagnosis Checklist The hard bone at the tip of the chin is not easily palpable. When you close your mouth, a bumpy 'walnut line' appears at the tip of your chin. The jawline is barely visible in the profile view and the chin is sunken in. When you smile, your lower jaw appears shorter or the muscles under your lips are tense. item explanation The bone at the tip of the chin is not easily palpable. The chin is receding and the outline is blurred. Walnut wrinkles appear When you close your mouth, a wrinkle appears at the tip of your chin. No jawline visible from the side The chin is sunken in when viewed from the side When I smile, my lower jaw looks short. The muscles under the lips are pulled when smiling 2. Functional problems caused by the absence of a jaw No chin is not just a cosmetic issue, it can also lead to various functional problems. ✔️ Occlusal problems If the lower jaw is pushed back, the upper and lower teeth will not fit together properly. malocclusion This happens. This makes it difficult to chew food, It can even lead to digestive problems. ✔️ Temporomandibular joint problems If the jaw position is unbalanced, excessive tension is created in the temporomandibular joint. Joint pain, vocalization, limited mouth opening Symptoms such as: In the long run Tooth wear or gum damage It can also spread to secondary problems. ✔️ Breathing problems In severe cases of chin reduction, the lower jaw is pushed back, causing the tongue to move backwards, narrowing the airway. Risk of snoring or sleep apnea during sleep This can be high. 3. How is orthodontic treatment performed? Braces without teeth are not limited to simply aligning teeth. This is a complex treatment that moves and rotates the lower jaw forward. Before correction, we precisely diagnose jaw position, occlusion, muscle tension, etc. through digital scanning and 3D analysis, and establish a customized treatment plan accordingly. commonly The treatment period takes about one and a half to two years. And, in order to avoid putting excessive strain on the lower jaw, even during treatment, Improving lifestyle habits This is very important. ✔️ Lifestyle habits to watch out for during braces Rather than hard and chewy food soft meal Please select Avoid resting your chin on one side. Balance on both sides Please keep it Please refrain from opening your mouth excessively wide. Long-term use of smartphones and monitors Don't stick your chin forward Please take care Simply managing these habits well during the treatment period can reduce the burden on the temporomandibular joint and increase the treatment effect. 4. Is surgery absolutely necessary? Non-surgical approach is possible for chin correction, but if the lower jaw is severely regressed or there are skeletal problems, Jaw surgery This may be necessary. However, in most cases, appearance improvement and functional recovery are possible with orthodontic treatment alone. An accurate diagnosis will determine whether or not surgery is necessary. Being chinless is not just a matter of appearance. Structural problems that affect occlusion, breathing, and temporomandibular joint health no see. If you are experiencing discomfort with your jaw shape or occlusion, do not suffer alone. Consult with an orthodontic specialist to receive an accurate diagnosis and establish a treatment plan.

Invisalign was developed by Align Technology in the United States. Representative transparent orthodontic device no see. Without the traditional wires or brackets, Device made of transparent plastic This method involves dividing the teeth into several stages (usually 20 to 100 stages) and wearing them sequentially to gradually move the teeth. ✔️ Invisalign production process - Scan your teeth with an intraoral digital scanner - Send scan data to US headquarters - Create 3D simulations based on tooth movement plans designed by medical staff - 3D printing of step-by-step transparent devices -Once the completed device arrives at the dentist, orthodontic treatment begins. The teeth move little by little as you wear the devices in a sequence that is meticulously planned for each step, and correction progresses. This whole process digital foundation In that it is made up of , Invisalign can be said to be an innovative orthodontic method that uses technology. 2. Advantages and limitations of Invisalign Invisalign silver 'Unobtrusive', 'Removable' has great advantages in two aspects. It is a treatment method that provides high satisfaction, especially to adults who are active in daily life or social activities. ✔️ Advantages - Almost invisible due to transparent device - The device is removable, making it easy to maintain oral hygiene. - Less gum irritation and relatively mild initial pain - Temporarily removable for important locations or filming However, Invisalign is not a panacea. The treatment effect may vary depending on the patient's cooperation and wearing habits, and there are limitations in cost and applicable cases. ✔️ Limits - Requires wearing for 20 to 22 hours a day - The cost is higher than general correction because the device is individually manufactured. - Results may vary significantly depending on treatment design capabilities. - May have limited application in complex teeth. ✔️ Comparison with bracket correction method item Invisalign (clear braces) Bracket correction Device type transparent plastic device Metal or ceramic brackets Aesthetics barely noticeable Looks good on the outside Whether detachable or not Possible (separate when eating or brushing teeth) Impossible (always attached) Hygiene management Easy to brush, less food stuck Needs maintenance, food can easily get stuck expense relatively high relatively inexpensive Wearing conditions Requires wearing for more than 20 hours a day Constant fixation, low cooperation 3. The key to Invisalign's success is its "medical team's design capabilities." Many people “Wouldn’t it be okay to just order a transparent device and put it in?” asks. But the most important part of Invisalign treatment is Accurate design and planning no see. Invisalign is not a simple ready-made product; it must be precisely designed to fit each patient's dental condition, specifying the direction, order, and amount of teeth movement. This process is all planned by the medical staff and the data is sent to Align headquarters for production.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Orthodontic treatment is not simply a procedure to straighten teeth. Tooth movement is a complex process involving various factors, including the alveolar bone (gum bone), muscles, tongue position, and habits. that How long will the correction take? It is difficult to explain simply by the type of device or the hospital's capabilities. In fact, even with similar corrective devices, 1 year and a half With someone who ends up in a million More than 2 years There are people who get caught. One of the important factors that makes the difference is Lifestyle habits no see. Today, it can lengthen the correction period and, in some cases, affect the treatment results. Lifestyle habits Let's learn more about it. 1. Mouth breathing habit We are basically designed to breathe through our nose. However, nasal breathing becomes difficult due to rhinitis, allergies, or decreased oral muscle function. If you develop a habit of breathing through your mouth, it can affect the alignment of your teeth. Especially if mouth breathing has persisted since childhood, The direction of facial bone growth itself changes and the maxilla becomes narrower. malocclusion This increases the risk of it leading to For adults Even if pressure imbalances occur within the oral cavity, tooth movement may be delayed during orthodontic treatment. ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - The tongue position drops down and pushes the teeth outward - Weakened lip strength causes the front teeth to protrude or gap. - Occlusal problems occur when the growth balance of the upper and lower jaws is disrupted. ✔️ How to improve - Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth, close your lips slightly, and place your teeth slightly apart. - Problems that interfere with breathing, such as rhinitis and tonsillar hypertrophy, should be treated concurrently with ENT treatment. - Practice MFT (Myofunctional Therapy) consistently ✔️ Super easy MFT practice - 10 lip-puckering exercises - Inhale through your nose and exhale quietly. - Pronounce the 'huh' sound 10 times with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth. → Repeat 3 sets a day, make it a habit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 2. The habit of clenching your teeth Unconsciously The habit of clenching one's teeth is a lifestyle habit that many people have without even realizing it. We often find ourselves tense in our jaws, especially when we're stressed, concentrating, or sleeping. This habit Temporomandibular joint pain, tooth wear, and periodontal tissue damage It can cause and if it is being corrected Inhibits tooth movement This is the main cause. ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - Continuous vertical pressure is transmitted to the orthodontic device, reducing movement. - The force applied in the opposite direction to the correction direction delays the correction time. - Increased risk of tooth root resorption during orthodontic treatment ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - Use of occlusal adjustment devices to avoid contact with molars - Self-awareness training to prevent unconscious bad habits - If necessary, concurrent botox treatment to relax jaw muscles ※ If you have a severe habit of clenching your teeth, the period of wearing a retainer after orthodontic treatment may be longer, so it is necessary to correct the habit in advance. 3. If you want to increase the treatment effect, start with your lifestyle habits. Orthodontics is not simply attaching devices to teeth. It is a treatment based on physiological changes that move teeth. thus Daily life habits This can directly affect the success or failure of your correction. for example, ✅ Tongue position If it is not corrected, the front teeth may spread apart again. ✅ Mouth breathing If you continue to do this, your face shape will change. ✅ The habit of biting teeth If this is present, teeth will not move properly, delaying treatment. Lifestyle items desirable habits Breathing method Nasal breathing, inhaling and exhaling quietly through the nose Tongue position Position the tip of your tongue so that it touches the roof of your mouth behind your upper teeth. Lip posture Close your lips gently and hold them together without using excessive force. jaw strength Keep your jaw relaxed and your teeth away from each other Sleeping position Sleep on your back, not on your side or stomach. Eating habits Chew using both sides equally As important as the treatment at the dentist is How do I live? no see. Changing small habits effort This alone can shorten the treatment period and maintain the results more stably. To maintain healthy teeth and function for a long time, start practicing today. 😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Is Orthodontic Extraction Really Necessary?

Many people “Isn’t it because my gums are receding due to incorrect orthodontic treatment?” You may ask, but in fact, your gums may appear to go down temporarily as your teeth move during the orthodontic treatment. However, these changes will usually recover naturally over time once the correction is complete. Gum recession This is a condition in which the gums and alveolar bone actually decrease, exposing the tooth roots, and is a separate issue from orthodontic treatment. So what are the main causes of gum recession? as soon as Health of teeth and gums no see. ✔️Main causes of gum recession - Excessive occlusal force - Neglect of regular gum care - Long-neglected tartar and plaque - Bad brushing habits or excessive brushing pressure These factors are repeated Burden on the gums By giving it gradually Regression phenomenon This is what appears.

Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. Ceramic, Clippy C, Invisalign Which of the three main orthodontic devices is best to choose? If you decide to undergo orthodontic treatment, you will once again face a crossroads of choice. It's about deciding which orthodontic appliance to use. Today, I will compare and summarize the three most commonly chosen orthodontic appliances, focusing on their advantages. 1. Ceramic Braces Ceramic braces are orthodontic devices that use ceramic materials similar in color to teeth, providing excellent aesthetic effects. Additionally, it has high durability, allowing for long-term use, and the individual packaging ensures hygienic attachment. ✔️Recommended for: Those who want discreet braces while minimizing costs. 2. Clippy-C Correction (Self-ligation Bracket) Clippy-C orthodontics is a bracket correction method that uses a self-ligating system to fix the wire without rubber rings. Since the wire is fixed with a special clip inside the bracket, it is easy to replace and more hygienic. This is advantageous for preventing cavities and gum diseases, and also makes oral hygiene management easier. Additionally, the low friction force between the brackets and wires allows for efficient tooth movement. (However, the speed of tooth movement and pain levels vary between individuals.) ✔️Recommended for: Busy professionals or students who want to reduce the interval between visits and prefer more efficient dental visits. 3. Invisalign Invisalign is an orthodontic device made of transparent plastic material without wires or brackets. It is a brand of Align Technology in the United States, and it is especially popular among those who prioritize aesthetics. The device can be removed during meals or brushing, providing great convenience in daily life, and its tooth movement efficiency is also superior to that of regular clear aligners. It is also suitable for cases where both functionality and aesthetics are emphasized, as it can be applied to relatively complex malocclusions. However, Invisalign is custom-made at the U.S. headquarters based on 3D scan data, so it tends to be more expensive than other orthodontic devices. ✔️Recommended for: Those who prefer discreet orthodontics and need removable options in daily life (such as broadcasters, customer service professionals, public speakers, etc.). Summary comparison of three types of orthodontic appliances 1. Ceramic correction - Type: Tooth-colored ceramic brackets - Advantage: Less noticeable and durable - Recommendation: For those seeking general aesthetic orthodontics - Cost: ★★☆☆☆ (Average) ② Clippy correction - Type: Self-ligating bracket (no rubber band) - Advantages: Convenient outpatient visits, cavity prevention, efficient tooth movement - Recommendation: Busy professionals and students - Cost: ★★★☆☆ (Moderate) ③ Invisalign - Shape: Transparent plastic (detachable) - Advantages: discreet and convenient, precise correction possible - Recommendation: Those who want orthodontic treatment that does not show through appearance or profession - Cost: ★★★★★ (High) 4. How should I choose orthodontic appliances? Orthodontic appliances cannot be chosen solely based on aesthetics or convenience. Because the most suitable device can vary depending on an individual's dental condition, oral structure, and lifestyle patterns. ✅ Pre-orthodontic checkpoints How are your usual oral hygiene habits? How flexible is the interval between outpatient visits during orthodontic treatment? Is the environment during the correction period sensitive to appearance and interpersonal relationships? - How much budget are you considering? Please consider these factors together and choose the orthodontic method that best suits you through a professional dentist's precise diagnosis and consultation.

김현순 원장25.06.26Views 684Likes 5 [Health Column] Tooth Extraction for Orthodontics, Is It Absolutely Necessary? Criteria for Orthodontic Extraction and Tips for Choosing a Dentist[9]
Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. One of the most frequently asked questions during orthodontic consultations is, "Do I have to extract teeth during orthodontic treatment?" In this article, I will explain in detail the reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary for orthodontics, clarify misconceptions about side effects, and outline the criteria to consider when choosing an orthodontic clinic. 1. Why is extraction necessary during orthodontic treatment? Orthodontics is not just a treatment to straighten teeth. This is a comprehensive treatment that considers the structure of the jawbone, the overall oral shape, and even the facial profile. Especially in cases where space is limited, some teeth need to be extracted to evenly align the teeth. Conversely, when there is enough space, satisfactory results can be achieved with non-extraction orthodontics. In other words, whether to perform orthodontic extraction depends on the patient's oral structure and tooth condition, and accurate assessment and planning are essential during the initial diagnosis. 2. Side effects of orthodontic extraction, should I be worried? "Is it okay to extract a healthy tooth?" What should I do if my mouth looks too small? This is a common concern for many people before orthodontic extraction. However, in cases where extraction is necessary, proceeding with non-extraction treatment forcefully may result in teeth not fitting into their proper positions, ultimately leading to the need for re-treatment. This can lead to increased time, cost, and psychological burden. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and professional treatment plan are the best ways to reduce side effects. 3. How long does it take to recover after tooth extraction? Extraction is a surgical procedure, but in the case of a normal healthy extraction, the pain subsides within a few days. It does not significantly interfere with the orthodontic treatment. However, in cases of slower recovery, careful attention to oral hygiene management and dietary regulation is necessary. 4.

Director Choi Woo-hyuk In recent years, one of the most frequently mentioned devices for skin lifting procedures is 'Shurink'. It is gaining popularity because it causes less pain and has a shorter recovery period, and it can improve skin elasticity through a relatively simple method. Especially among those who want to refine their facial contours or reduce wrinkles, Shurink has become an effective option. Today, we will carefully go over the principles, effects, and precautions of Shurink. What is Shurink? Shurink is a non-surgical lifting procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver heat energy deep into the skin, inducing collagen regeneration. Originally, its main purpose was to improve skin elasticity, but in Korea, it is widely used for facial lifting, especially to improve sagging cheeks and double chin. It employs a zigzag pattern to burn inside the skin using ultrasound, with heat delivered to depths of 4.5mm and 3mm inside the skin, allowing for simultaneous effects of increased elasticity and reduced volume. 2. Effectiveness and frequency of the Shurink procedure ShrinQ typically begins to show effects within 3 to 5 days after the procedure, and after 3 to 4 weeks, collagen regeneration intensifies, leading to more noticeable lifting and skin elasticity improvements. The effects last for about 6 months, and it is recommended to undergo maintenance treatments regularly every 2 to 6 months. In particular, those with a certain amount of fat on the face tend to be quite satisfied, making it suitable for individuals seeking improvement of nasolabial folds, dimples, or double chin. 3. Shrink pain and procedure time The procedure takes about 10 minutes, which is very short, and while pain varies from person to person, it is generally considered milder than Ultherapy. During the procedure, you may feel slight stinging or warmth, but if the pain becomes severe, the energy intensity can be adjusted accordingly. In the latest version, Shurink Universe, the procedure speed has increased by 2.5 times, and it is also reported that the pain has been further reduced. 4. Precautions for Side Effects of Shrink Shurink is known to be a relatively safe procedure, but when using regeneration tips, energy imbalance can occur, leading to side effects such as burns and embossing. If performed by an unskilled practitioner, side effects like pitting, sagging, and nerve sensation reduction may also occur, so it is essential to have the procedure done by experienced medical staff. In particular, those with little facial fat should avoid it, as excessive fat loss can occur. 5. Features of the Shrink Universe The second-generation Shurink Universe allows for more precise and faster procedures than previous treatments, and by introducing a pen-type booster handpiece, it enables precise procedures even on curved areas. With a total of seven types of cartridges, customized treatments for various skin layers are possible, improving treatment accuracy and reducing side effects. Additionally, by using the 'Aurora Ampoule (GT38)', high-performance regenerative ingredients are applied instead of simple gels, allowing for a dewy, glowing skin effect. Additionally, when used in conjunction with high-performance whitening and regeneration ampoules, a synergistic effect of increased moisture and radiance can also be expected. 6. Summary of Shurink Completion Shrinke is a cost-effective lifting procedure with minimal pain and recovery burden, and its effects last appropriately. However, since the effects appear gradually, it is advisable to approach it as part of consistent lifting management rather than expecting immediate changes. The results can vary significantly depending on the practitioner's skill, so thorough consultation and review are necessary when choosing a hospital.

최우혁 원장25.04.17Views 4307Likes 10 [Health Column] What is Skin Botox? From Effects to Precautions, Essential Information to Know Before the Procedure[8]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Recently, among dermatological procedures, "skin Botox" has been gaining attention as a relatively affordable option. This treatment, which gives the skin a natural glow and improves fine lines, is popular because it can provide a clear and well-groomed appearance without surgery. However, as with all medical procedures, it is important to approach with accurate information and appropriate expectations. In this column, I will explain in detail the mechanism, effects, and precautions of skin Botox. 1. What is skin Botox? Duration of skin Botox effects Skin Botox is a procedure that, unlike regular Botox treatments, involves micro-injections into the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin rather than the muscles. Depending on the hospital, it is called Mesobotox or Dermotoxin, and it focuses on improving the texture and function of the skin itself rather than paralyzing the facial muscles. The effects begin to appear 3 to 5 days after the procedure and last for approximately 3 to 4 months. Thanks to its short procedure time and natural-looking results, it is highly regarded as a treatment before important events. 2. Skin Botox Effects Skin Botox is known as a procedure that can simultaneously improve various skin concerns. Firstly, it is effective in reducing fine wrinkles. In particular, it naturally alleviates wrinkles around the eyes and on the thin skin of the neck, and the high satisfaction comes from the fact that it does not make facial expressions look awkward. Secondly, it helps control sebum secretion, shrink pores, and reduce acne. Third, the skin texture becomes more refined with a subtle glow, and a smoothing effect on the skin can also be expected. Fourth, it helps improve redness, and in some cases, it also adds a lifting effect, leading to improved firmness of the jawline and neck. 3. Disadvantages of skin Botox All procedures have limitations, and skin Botox is no exception. First, deep wrinkles, especially expression lines on the forehead, glabella, or nose bridge, are difficult to improve with skin Botox. These areas are more effectively treated with traditional Botox injections that directly paralyze the muscles. Additionally, fine lines around the mouth require caution, as the procedure may result in unnatural facial expressions. For deep nasolabial folds, sagging of the cheeks, or overall facial lifting effects, combining with thread lifting or high-frequency lifting devices may be a more suitable choice. 4. Skin Botox Side Effects Skin Botox is classified as a relatively safe procedure, but it is not completely free of side effects. Bruising or swelling may occur at the injection site, and there are cases where injection marks remain. Usually, these reactions subside within 1 to 3 days, and if your schedule is tight, it is advisable to leave at least 5 days of leeway. Additionally, some sensitive individuals may feel that their facial expressions appear awkward, so precise control of the injection site and dosage is very important. Immediately after the procedure, you may feel a slight bulging like embossing, but this naturally disappears within 1 to 2 days. Another point to be cautious about is Botox resistance. Since the procedure involves injecting into a wider area than regular Botox, frequent repetitions can lead to resistance. Once resistance develops, the effectiveness of future treatments may decrease, and in some cases, it can last a lifetime, so caution is necessary. On average, once every 6 months to a year is appropriate. 5. Methods to Maximize the Effects of Skin Botox There are various Botox products used for skin Botox. They range from domestically produced to those from the United States and Germany, with a German product called 'ZeoMin' recently gaining attention. This product has the advantage of having unnecessary proteins removed, which reduces the likelihood of developing resistance. For those considering repeated treatments, choosing a product that minimizes the risk of resistance is also an important factor to consider. Skin Botox is more effective when combined with other procedures. For example, performing it alongside lifting procedures such as Ultherapy or Thermage can achieve both lifting effects and skin texture improvement simultaneously, creating a synergistic effect. It is advisable to consult thoroughly with medical staff about whether to proceed with combined procedures based on your skin condition. 6. Points to consider when considering skin Botox Skin Botox is one of the skin treatments that can be received relatively affordably, making it a suitable choice for those who desire a natural and clear impression. However, before the procedure, it is essential to accurately understand your skin type and condition, and to undergo thorough consultation with experienced medical staff to reduce side effects and achieve the desired results. In particular, resistance issues are a very important factor from a long-term perspective, so careful consideration of frequency and product selection is necessary. Beyond everyday skin care, I hope it becomes a strategic choice for a better impression.

최우혁 원장25.04.02Views 8095Likes 6 [Health Column] What is Juvederm Voluma Procedure? A Complete Overview of Effects and Side Effects[5]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. If you are interested in lifting procedures, you have probably heard the term "JuveLuxe Volume" at least once. JuveLuxe Volume is a representative non-surgical procedure that naturally improves skin elasticity and volume, making it an attractive option especially for those seeking to address issues such as decreased skin elasticity and enlarged pores that occur with aging. 1. JuveRuk Volume Principle Juvelex Volume Procedure involves not just injecting collagen into the skin, but also injecting PDLLA components that induce collagen production within the skin. These components are absorbed over time, leaving only natural collagen, which naturally improves skin elasticity and volume. This process strengthens the internal structure of the skin and helps improve skin quality in the long term. 2. JuveRuk Volume Effect Juvelex Volume Procedure does not provide immediate volume effects. Instead, the volume and elasticity of the skin gradually improve over several weeks to months after the procedure. These gradual improvements may vary from person to person and are particularly effective when the skin sags due to sudden weight loss. The gradual effects help the skin recover its health in a natural way. Juvederm Voluma treatment is suitable for those who want to increase their collagen naturally or when there is a decrease in volume in specific areas. It is also effective for cases where the skin has become loose due to sudden weight loss from dieting. This procedure is appropriate for men and women of all ages who wish to restore volume, especially for those who prefer natural results. 3. Side effects of Jubelek Volume Juvelex Volume is generally a safe procedure, but improper technique during the procedure can cause side effects such as nodules. This means the formation of small lumps under the skin, which can be minimized through regular check-ups and proper care after the procedure. To prevent these side effects, it is important to undergo the procedure with an experienced professional, and proper post-procedure care can reduce the risk of side effects. 4. Jubeleuk vs. Jubeleuk Volume Juvelex Volume is specialized for volume restoration with large particles, while regular Juvelex uses small particles for improving skin texture and skin boosting. This procedure improves skin texture and provides a radiant-like effect, resulting in a natural and long-lasting outcome. Understanding these differences and choosing the product that suits your needs is important. 5. Procedure cycle and maintenance period Juvelex Volume is recommended to be used one vial per session, with a total of three treatments spaced one month apart. Collagen production lasts for about 6 months to a year after the procedure, and the effects can be maintained for approximately 1.5 to 2 years. The duration of the effects may vary depending on individual lifestyle habits and skin condition, so additional treatments can be planned accordingly. Procedures that are good to do together with Juvéderm The combination of Juvederm Voluma and RF lifting (Olligeo) provides an excellent synergistic effect, and post-procedure LDM ultrasound management helps promote the diffusion of collagen seeds for more effective results. As part of aftercare, appropriate massage for each area can maximize the treatment effect. After receiving Juvederm Voluma treatment, it is important to follow the expert’s instructions for regular maintenance and to periodically check the condition of the treated area to maintain optimal results. Juvederm Voluma is an attractive choice for those who want their skin to become healthier. It is important to consult with a professional to determine if the procedure is suitable for you, and obtaining sufficient information and consultation before the procedure can ensure safe and satisfying results.

From a dermatological perspective 'Elasticity (Skin tightening) 'class Lifting are completely different concepts. elasticity It refers to a reaction in which collagen in the dermis layer of the skin increases and the skin becomes firmer. Lifting The skin itself moves in the opposite direction of gravity. Physical It refers to the action of pulling up. The method of injecting high-frequency heat energy like Thermage activates collagen in the dermis layer. Elasticity increasing effect is large, and the contraction response of the surrounding tissues Lifting effect You can also expect some of this. That's why in many practices, the two concepts are explained together. 2. Thermage treatment principle Thermage treatment delivers high-frequency (RF) energy to the dermis layer of the skin. Induce collagen regeneration To prevent high-frequency heat energy from damaging the skin surface, the laser tip uses vibration and cooling technology together. In other words, it causes collagen contraction and regeneration by pushing hot energy inside while keeping the outer surface of the skin cool.

최우혁 원장25.03.25Views 8102Likes 15 [Health Column] Rejuran Treatment Effects and Side Effects, Essential Checklist Before the Procedure[12]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. In this article, we will explore in detail the principles, effects, and side effects of Rejuran, as well as considerations to keep in mind before the procedure. 1. What is Rejuran? Rejuran is a skin booster that effectively promotes skin regeneration and improves overall skin condition. This procedure focuses not only on aesthetic enhancement but also on restoring the health of the skin itself. The main ingredient of Rejuran, polynucleotides (PN), are DNA fragments extracted from salmon, which have a structure similar to human DNA, making them highly effective for skin regeneration. 2. Candidates for Rejuran treatment Rejuran is especially recommended for the following individuals. ✔️ For those with severe skin dryness: Rejuran supplies deep moisture into the skin, maintaining long-lasting hydration. ✔️ For those concerned about decreased skin elasticity and fine wrinkles: It helps promote collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and improve fine wrinkles. ✔️ For those seeking natural skin regeneration effects: It activates the skin's own regenerative ability rather than artificial changes, helping to create healthy skin. ✔️ For those struggling with skin troubles: It has anti-inflammatory effects that help alleviate trouble and soothe the skin. 3. Considerations before Rejuran procedure However, careful consideration is necessary in the following cases. ✔️ For those who have a severe fear of needle procedures or are sensitive to pain: Rejuran treatment requires multiple injections, so there may be a concern about pain. ✔️ For individuals with very sensitive skin, such as atopic dermatitis: since it may cause skin irritation, it should be decided after consulting a specialist. ✔️ For those seeking immediate and dramatic results: Rejuran is a procedure that gradually improves the skin, so quick effects are unlikely. 4. Rejuran procedure method – manual injection vs. machine The Rejuran procedure is mainly divided into manual injection and machine-assisted procedures. - Hand injection: A method where the practitioner administers the injection directly, allowing for precise procedure but taking more time and potentially causing some discomfort. - Mechanical procedure: Using a machine that operates multiple needles simultaneously can shorten the procedure time and reduce pain, but the skill of the practitioner is important. To alleviate pain, it is recommended to apply anesthetic cream thoroughly and allow sufficient time before the procedure. 5. Rejuran treatment schedule and maintenance Rejuran treatment is generally recommended to be performed three times at one-month intervals, followed by maintenance treatments at six-month or three-month intervals. The effects of the treatment vary by individual, but improvements can be expected in skin dryness, increased elasticity, reduction of fine lines, and improved skin texture. Combining Rejuran treatment with collagen regeneration procedures such as Thermage or OnDa can achieve more effective skin improvement results. Especially in specific cases such as scar treatment, using it together with Raxel treatment can be more beneficial for regeneration. 6. Side effects of Rejuran treatment Rejuran treatment is a relatively safe procedure, but side effects such as pain, bruising, swelling, and allergic reactions may occur. Be sure to consult with a specialist before the procedure to confirm if it is suitable for you, and after the procedure, avoid touching or irritating the treated area. When referring to online reviews, it is important to carefully examine mentions of emboss formation, pain, and other related factors, and to choose a trustworthy hospital. Rejuran treatment is an effective method to restore skin health and boost confidence. However, post-procedure care is essential, and it should be noted that the goal is gradual skin improvement rather than immediate results. Through this column, I hope to enhance your understanding of Rejuran procedures and help you make wise choices suited to yourself.
