Premium care that plans the whole process From consultation to procedure and follow-up, a board-certified dermatologist participates directly, creating natural and comfortable results. |
Hello.
I improve the essence of skin with care,
I am Hongseon Lee, a specialist at Hapjeong Dermatology.
In practice, I hear this very often when patients enter their 40s:
"My facial contour doesn't seem the same as before."
"I feel the overall skin elasticity has decreased."
This change is not sudden but the visible result of cumulative collagen loss over time.
Especially after the 40s,
Loss of elasticity and sagging
Hollowing due to volume loss
Increase in fine lines
When these three appear together, they can make your overall appearance change dramatically.

So today,for those in their 40swho are considering procedures,
as a specialist at Hapjeong Dermatology Clinic, I will outline criteria for how to approach elasticity and sagging, fine lines, and hollowing by separating each component.
Why do you suddenly look older?
Many peoplefeel like they “suddenly look old,”but in reality this is usually the result of accumulated collagen loss becoming apparent over time.

Collagen does not only provide elasticity; it also supports skin structure and volume.
When collagen decreases, the skin’s supportive strength weakens and sagging occurs,
the skin thins and fine lines become more noticeable, and internal volume loss leads to hollowing.

Therefore, after your 40s it is important to address multiple factors rather than relying on a single procedure.
1. Elasticity and sagging → Ulthera, Thermage
The first aspect to consider isoverall elasticity and sagging.

When the structures that support the skin weaken, facial contours become less defined and the overall appearance can look collapsed.
At this stage, rather than focusing solely on pulling,
a lifting approach that considers which areas need tightening and which should be preserved is necessary.

It is more important to create an overall refined appearance than an overly tightened feeling.
Representative procedures for this type of lifting include treatments such as Ulthera or Thermage.
2. Fine lines → Skin Botox
After addressing skin laxity to some degree, it is good to manage fine wrinkles as well.
Fine wrinkles become more noticeable as the skin thins and becomes drier.

Skin Botox works superficially in the skin layers to soften fine wrinkles and help refine pores as well.
Rather than excessively restricting facial expressions,it gives a gentle smoothing of the skin, making it suitable for those seeking a natural change.
3. Hollowness → Collagen injections
In your 40s and beyond, volume in the cheeks and temples decreases, causing the face to appear hollowed at the sides.

In fact, people in their 40s tend to lose about 20% of lateral facial volume,
which often leads to"a peanut-shaped face"where the sides appear indented.

In such cases, lifting alone has limitations, and an approach that naturally restores the sunken areas is needed.
Collagen boosters such as Sculptra and Juvederm Voluma stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen,
so volume gradually returns naturally over time.

In this process, what matters is not so much how much is filled but how the placement and proportions are designed.
These aspects can be implemented more naturally based on the anatomical understanding of a specialist at Hapjeong Dermatology.
Therefore, before deciding on a procedure,
we recommend confirming the direction that suits you first through a thorough consultation with a specialist.

During your 40s, it is important to consider multiple elements rather than trying to solve everything with a single procedure.
An approach that takes several factors into account together is important.
Balancing skin laxity, fine wrinkles, and hollowness leads to the most natural results.
It would be helpful to set a standard once to determine what direction suits your face now.
Thank you for reading.
We will provide care with sincerity.
