As aging begins, collagen production, which maintains skin elasticity, decreases and skin elasticity rapidly decreases. Especially in winter, dry climate and differences in indoor and outdoor temperatures can further accelerate skin aging, so delicate skin care is necessary. If you are concerned that your skin seems to be losing elasticity despite consistent care, you may want to consider treatment through laser lifting treatment.Representative laser lifting procedures for improving skin elasticity include Ulthera, Oligio, Thermage, and Inmode, and there are differences in effectiveness between each procedure and equipment. Among them, Thermage, which is a radiofrequency (RF) lifting, and Ulthera, which is an ultrasound (HIFU) lifting, are the most popular lifting methods.
Ulthera is a representative ultrasonic (HIFU) lifting device that induces a lifting effect by using ultrasonic energy to stimulate and contract the deep fascia layer (SMAS layer) of the skin. In addition, Ulthera can help reduce the fat layer, so it can be useful in resolving concerns such as double chin or deep cheek fat without surgery.
Thermage is a treatment that promotes collagen regeneration by applying radiofrequency (RF) energy to the dermal layer of the skin. It is especially suitable for those with thin and saggy skin, and can be of great help in increasing skin elasticity and improving wrinkles.
Both ultrasound and high-frequency lifting methods help improve skin elasticity and wrinkles, but since they target different skin layers, an appropriate choice must be made according to the individual's concerns and current condition. Recently, a method of combining the two treatments has been widely used, and a greater synergy effect can be expected by stimulating the overall skin layer.
Kang Minji, director of Gangnam JAYJUN Dermatology Clinic, advised, "As interest in anti-aging and skin care has recently increased, the demand for lifting procedures has also increased significantly. However, the effectiveness of lifting procedures can vary significantly depending on the operator's skill level, so it is important to accurately diagnose an individual's skin condition and create a customized treatment plan."
