Hello.
I am the director of Mind Dermatology Clinic, dedicated to improving the essence of skin with care,
Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic
I am Hong-seon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.
“I want to try a well-known lifting treatment,
which device would suit my face best?”
When you start to feel that your skin elasticity is not what it used to be,
you may consider lifting devices such as Ulthera or Thermage at least once.
But when you actually look into them, There are so many device types, and what the differences are between each one is confusing, right?
A well-known device doesn't necessarily suit every skin type equally.
So before deciding on a lifting procedure,
it's necessary to review your current skin condition and facial structure together with a Mind Dermatology specialistby the way.
Today at Mind Dermatology,
I'll explain the principles of four lifting methods we perform and which facial types they suit, in order.

01. Ulthera to lift heavy jawlines and deep sagging

02. Thermage FLX to fill fine lines and
surface density for thin skin
03. Sofwave & Titanium for sensitive areas and immediate complexion improvement,

Thick jawline and
deep sagging lifted with Ulthera
First, if your skin is thick and you have a double chin or excess fat in the lower face such as deep buccal fat,
with pronounced sagging,then you may consider Ulthera.It could be an option.
Ultherais a high-intensity focused ultrasound energythat concentrates at specific depths in the skin
to induce tissue contraction and regenerationin its method.
In particular, it is characterized by targeting the fascial layer located deep in the skin (superficial musculoaponeurotic system, SMAS).That is a feature.
Another point to note is real-time ultrasound imaging technology.It is
because the procedure can directly check the skin structures and the thickness of the fat layer while treating,so
it helps plan which areas should receive how much energy.

Based on this imaging information, if the shot positions and energy delivery depths are designed precisely,
areas with little fat and at risk of hollowness can be avoided, and one can focus approach on areas where sagging is more pronounced.
Rather than simply delivering many shots,
it is important to appropriately allocate energy considering the facial fat distribution and tissue thickness of my face,which isthe reason.
Thermage FLX for fine lines of thin skin and
filling surface density
Conversely The face lacks much fat and the skin itself is thin, with fine lines around the mouth and cheeks.If those lines are pronounced, you might consider Thermage FLX.
Thermageis based on delivering monopolar radiofrequency energy to the dermis to induce collagen contraction and regenerationas its mechanism.

Its aim is not to focus on reducing the volume of subcutaneous fat,
but to stimulate dermal collagen that makes up the skin to improve elasticity and density.that is the purpose.
Therefore, even those worried about fat reduction causing facial volume loss can use it as a methodto manage surface skin elasticity.
For sensitive areas and immediate complexion improvement,
Sofwave & Titanium
If the skin is thin and strong stimulation is burdensome, or if you are concerned about superficial layer elasticity such as around the eyes and forehead, you can consider Sofwave.
Sofwaveis a device that targets the dermis at a depth of 1.5 mm with ultrasound energy in a horizontal beam form,indeed.
It delivers energy close to the skin surface to stimulate collagen regeneration in the dermis.That is how it works.
This differs in treatment depth from lifting procedures that concentrate energy in the deep fat layer.
Meanwhile, before an important photoshoot or event
Reducing bruising or marks while providing quick complexion improvement and contour liftingIf you want Titanium liftingcan be considered.
Titaniumis a device that delivers energy to various depths of the skin using three wavelengths,
aiming to improve skin elasticity and contourat the same time.
As such, after carefully examining the skin condition with a Mapo dermatology specialist,
it is important to choose a device that matches the concerns of each facial area.

Depending on the need, a single device may be applied, or devices with different characteristicsmay be combined.
By planning with consideration of the depth and characteristics at which each device acts, you can manage overall facial elasticity more three-dimensionally.
I will provide care with sincerity.

Question |
Answer |
|
Q. What problems can occur if I receive a lifting device that does not suit my skin type? |
A. If a procedure is performed without adequately considering skin thickness and fat volume, the result may differ from what you expected. For example, if deep ultrasound energy is delivered excessively to areas of the face with little fat, cheek hollowing can occur. Conversely, if only an RF treatment targeting the dermis is applied to a thick double chin, it may be difficult to feel the desired amount of lifting. |
|
Q. Is it okay to receive different devices like Ulthera and Thermage on the same day? |
A. Yes, depending on skin condition and the treatment plan, combined procedures can be performed on the same day. For example, deep sagging along the jawline can be addressed with Ulthera, while Thermage can supplement surface skin elasticity on the cheeks. Using devices that target different depths together allows you to manage overall facial elasticity in a three-dimensional way by leveraging each device's characteristics. |
|
Q. I'm sensitive to pain — will the procedure be very painful? |
A. Pain varies depending on the device used, the treatment area, and individual sensitivity. At Mind Dermatology we allow sufficient time for topical anesthesia before procedures, and we combine precise anesthesia management systems with the device's own cooling function to reduce discomfort. We will carefully assess your condition to help you receive the procedure more comfortably. |
