"I want a lifting treatment, but

my skin is thin and I don't have much cheek fat,

so I'm afraid my cheeks will hollow out."

Even when concerned about sagging skin and increasing fine lines due to aging, Might the face look more sunken after the procedure? Many people worry about that.

Especially if you've heard that cheeks looked hollow after an ultrasound lifting, it's natural to hesitate.

If your skin is thin and you have little facial fat, you need to be more cautious when choosing a lifting procedure.

Edae Station Dermatology

Rather than pulling strongly without thought, it's important to choose a suitable procedure considering skin thickness, fat distribution, and the degree of sagging,than anything else.

Today, for those concerned about improving elasticity in thin skin, I'll discuss the characteristics of Sofwave and the criteria to check before the procedure,^^

Sofwave concentrates on the dermal layer rather than the fat layer
Mind Dermatology's personalized treatment philosophy that matters more than shot count

01. If skin is thin,

why cheek hollowing can occur after conventional lifting

Among the ultrasound lifting methods we commonly know, there are techniques that target the deep fascial layer (SMAS) to deliver energy and induce tissue contraction.This approach exists.

For people with ample facial fat, reducing unnecessary fat can help, but those with little facial fat may experience a hollowed cheek appearance.

Edae Station Dermatology

Especially in thin areas like below the cheekbone or the lateral cheek, small volume changes can noticeably alter one's appearance.

However, results vary depending on the device used and the skin layer targeted, so choose a procedure that matches your skin condition.It's important.

02. Focused on the dermis rather than the fat layer

Sofwave

If you want to reduce concerns about cheek hollowness while improving skin elasticity, The depth at which energy is delivered in each procedureneeds to be checked carefully.

Sofwave is a device that delivers ultrasound energy not to the deep fat layer or the fascial layer,

but to the mid-dermis at a depth of about 1.5 mm, where collagen and elastin are mainly distributed.It is.

Through the thermal stimulation created in the dermis, collagen remodelingand induction of improvement in skin elasticityis the mechanism.

Because of these characteristics, it can be an excellent option for people with low facial fat who want to reduce the risk of hollowing and restore firmness.

Improvement in skin elasticity: by inducing collagen remodeling in the dermis, it can help the skin become firmerand may provide benefit.

Fine line reduction: improvement can be expected in areas where fine lines are a concern, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and the neck, for those areas with fine lines.You may see improvement.

Of course, the degree of improvement can vary depending on the skin condition, and not all wrinkles or sagging will improve to the same extent.

03. More Important Than Number of Shots 1:1 Personalized Care

Sofwave can help with thin skin, but it is not necessarily the correct choice for everyone.

At Mind Dermatology Clinic, even if patients come in considering a specific procedure, rather than uniformly deciding only the number of shots, we first examine the current condition of the skin carefully.

Ewha Station Dermatology

We assess skin thickness and the depth of fine wrinkles, the direction of sagging, and whether other procedures will be combined,and make a judgment considering the overall balance of the face.

Rather than recommending a large number of shots unconditionally, it is important to determine the treatment method and appropriate intensity that suit the patient.

If you have hesitated about lifting procedures because of thin skin, please consult sufficiently with a clinician who can objectively diagnose your skin condition.I hope you will do so.

I will treat you sincerely.

<Sofwave Q&A>

Question	Answer
Q. How much pain is there during a Sofwave procedure?	A. When the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel a warm sensation or a slight stinging. However, Sofwave is equipped with an integrated cooling system called SofCool that helps protect the skin surface and reduce discomfort during the procedure. Topical anesthetic can be applied before the procedure if needed, and the level of pain may vary depending on individual sensitivity, the treatment area, and the energy settings.
Q. When do the effects become noticeable?	A. Some people feel a tightening of the skin immediately after the procedure, but the process of collagen remodeling in the dermis takes time. Some patients notice gradual changes after a few weeks, and over the following months elasticity and fine lines may progressively improve. However, the timing and degree of improvement vary depending on each person's skin condition.
Q. Will the procedure interfere with daily life, makeup, or washing my face?	A. Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound procedure that does not ablate the skin surface or puncture the skin with needles. Redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur after the procedure, but in most cases these do not significantly interfere with daily activities. The timing for washing your face and applying makeup can vary according to your skin's reaction, so please follow the post-procedure guidance provided by the medical staff.
