Consultation for Individual Lifting and Skin Elasticity Concerns

Lifting Procedures: Why Is Individual Consultation Important?

When choosing a lifting procedure,

the information most people look at first

is often about things like the number of Shurink shots or Oligio treatment costs.

However, actual lifting is a field that's difficult to decide based solely on the number of treatment shots or equipment names.

This is because each individual's facial structure and the progression of aging are all different.

The causes of facial sagging vary from person to person.

Some may notice a loss of elasticity in their cheek area,

while others might feel their jawline has become less defined.

There are also cases where people are told they look tired due to hollowness around the eyes or under the cheekbones.

These changes in the face don't simply arise from reduced skin elasticity.

Rather, they are a phenomenon that results from the complex interplay of multiple layers, including

the dermis, fat layer, and fascia (SMAS) beneath the skin, and even changes in the facial bones.

Therefore, even with the same lifting procedure, a delicate 'design' tailored to each individual's facial condition is necessary.

Let me explain with specific examples.

If your jawline is undefined and a double chin is a concern,

this may be linked primarily to the weakening of the SMAS layer, which is the face's supporting structure, rather than a superficial skin issue.

In such situations, procedures that deliver energy to deep tissue layers,

such as ultrasonic lifting (e.g., Shurink, Ultherapy), may be considered.

If the area under your cheekbones is hollowed and your face appears generally saggy,

it's often due to reduced elasticity within the skin, causing fat tissue to shift downwards.

Thread lifting or radiofrequency lifting (e.g., InMode, Forma) that stimulates the dermal layer can be helpful.

When your face appears generally swollen and its contours are not clear,

it's likely related to swelling or impaired lymphatic circulation.

In this case, a lifting procedure focused on improving the fat layer and lymphatic circulation, such as Onda lifting, may be considered.

If fine wrinkles around the eyes or eyebrow sagging appear,

since the skin layer in this area is thin, a lifting method that approaches delicately rather than with strong stimulation is important.

Radiofrequency lifting using a shallow 1.5mm tip, such as Shurink or Oligio, can be a suitable choice.

It's more important 'where and how' the treatment is performed rather than simply 'how many shots'.

For example, even if two people receive the same 300 shots of Shurink,

one person might experience significant positive changes,

while the other might not feel much difference.

There's a clear reason for such differences in results.

This is because the area, depth, and intensity of energy delivery during the procedure were applied differently.

Lifting procedures go beyond simple equipment operation;

they are a field where a 'design process' of accurately understanding an individual's facial structure and creating a customized treatment plan is essential.

Therefore, Kkeut Hanuione adheres to the principle of 'starting with design' before any procedure.

Kkeut Hanuione doesn't view lifting procedures as merely a fixed process.

First, we three-dimensionally analyze the face of each person who visits,

to meticulously identify which tissue layer of the face is the source of their current concerns.

We carefully plan the best equipment, treatment method, number of shots, and treatment depth, all tailored to your specific condition.

Therefore, even for the same Shurink treatment, 200 shots might be enough for some individuals,

while for others, around 400 shots might be recommended.

In some cases, thread lifting might be a more suitable option than Shurink.

Every person's face is unique, not a standardized product.

That's why personalized planning is essential for lifting procedures.

From the medical team's perspective, it might seem simpler to just say, "You need X number of shots with this device."

However, from your perspective as a patient,

information about your specific facial concerns and how they can be addressed will be much more important.

A lifting procedure isn't just about 'how many shots' are used.

It should start with precise planning that truly understands the unique characteristics of your face.

Rather than prioritizing a specific treatment name,

we create a customized lifting plan based on the unique condition of each patient's face.

We recommend having a consultation without any pressure.
