Summer skin is losing elasticity. What are the precautions when considering a skin booster or lifting treatment?

Regular home care is also important for skin health in the summer. It is a good idea to maintain moisture in your skin by consuming at least 2 liters of water a day, and apply a moisturizer with a light texture after washing your face to form a moisture film without stickiness. Before going out, apply plenty of sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and PA++ or higher and reapply every 2 to 3 hours to minimize UV damage.

However, even with personal care and effort, various problems such as decreased skin elasticity, wrinkles, skin troubles, and pigmentation appear in combination during the summer. Since these symptoms are difficult to improve with home care alone, a fundamental approach through dermatological procedures may be helpful.

Recently, skin booster treatments such as Revive, Rejuran, and Juvelook are widely used to restore skin elasticity and improve wrinkles. Skin Booster is a treatment that helps improve overall skin condition by promoting skin regeneration and recovery, increasing collagen production and restoring oil and moisture balance. If you combine non-invasive laser lifting, you can expect a synergistic effect on aging management and skin health.

Ultherapy Prime, an ultrasonic laser lifting treatment that can be considered along with Skin Booster, is a treatment that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to the fibromyofascial layer (SMAS) in the skin to help restore collagen and elastin. Meanwhile, high-frequency-based Thermage lifting acts on the dermal layer and subcutaneous fat layer and can help tighten the overall skin, improve pores, and alleviate wrinkles. Recently, ‘Ulthermage’, which combines the two procedures, is attracting attention as it provides elasticity and tightening effects at the same time.

JAYJUN Dermatology Director Kang Minji said, "Summer is a time when skin elasticity decreases and aging can occur at the same time, so a customized treatment plan tailored to each individual's skin condition and concerns is necessary. Even for the same skin problem, the intensity, frequency, and depth of the treatment should be applied differently depending on the individual's skin condition. It is important to select a safe and effective method through consultation with an experienced specialist."
