Why is lifting so popular these days?

As you age, you may notice that your facial contours aren't what they used to be.
Your cheeks may sag, your jawline may become less defined, and your skin may feel thinner than before.
Recently, not only those in their 30s and 40s but also those in their late 20s are seeking lifting procedures.
The reason is simple.
In the past, the mindset was, "I should get a lifting procedure when my skin loses elasticity." Now, it's, "Let's manage it before it sags."
With the prevalence of smartphone selfies, video calls, and SNS photos, the impression given by facial contours and elasticity has become much more important.
Lifting is a non-surgical procedure that uses energy such as radiofrequency (RF) or ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate collagen in the skin without the need for incisions.
Rather than immediate changes, it's a treatment that enhances the skin's natural strength through a gradual firming process.
Lifting in Your 20s: Now a Natural Part of Self-Care

In the past, getting a lifting procedure in your 20s might have been considered "too early," but these days, preventative lifting is trending.
Collagen production in our skin gradually declines starting around age 25.
Managing your skin with gentle energy during this period can prevent a rapid loss of elasticity later on.
Additionally, people in their 20s often choose these procedures for contouring or double chin correction rather than addressing sagging skin.
Devices like InMode and Shurink Universe are particularly popular because they offer quick recovery and minimal disruption to daily life, making them accessible to working professionals and students.
InMode Lifting

InMode is a device that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver heat to the fat layer and dermis of the skin.
The two main modes are FX and FORMA.
FX uses vacuum suction to lift the skin slightly and then delivers radiofrequency and electrical current (HVP) to improve the environment of fat cells and promote skin elasticity restoration.
It is particularly suitable for areas where the lower face appears bulky, such as the double chin, sagging cheeks, or undefined jawline.
FORMA works by maintaining the dermis at a constant temperature (around 40 degrees Celsius or higher) to stimulate collagen regeneration.
It creates a dense collagen structure inside the skin without overheating the surface.
In other words, FX is for contouring, while FORMA is more for revitalizing skin texture and elasticity.
The procedure is virtually painless, requiring no numbing cream. Many patients opt for FX+FORMA to achieve both double chin reduction and improved elasticity in a single session.
Shurink Universe

Shurink Universe is a lifting procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy.
It works by delivering heat to the SMAS layer deep within the skin without damaging the surface, causing the fascial layer to contract.
A single session can deliver ultrasound at various depths, simultaneously stimulating the dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, and fascial layer.
This process generates new collagen, and over time, you can feel the skin gradually tightening.
Shurink Universe can provide natural lifting effects for:
Sagging jawlines
Nasolabial folds
Cheek fat reduction
Another advantage is that it concentrates heat, resulting in minimal skin surface damage and little to no downtime after the procedure.
Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a leading lifting device that uses micro-focused ultrasound.
A key feature is that the procedure is performed while viewing ultrasound images.
This allows the practitioner to deliver energy to the precise layer while observing skin thickness and structure in real time.
As a result, it offers high accuracy in targeting the SMAS layer and can be finely adjusted according to individual facial structures.
Some people feel a tightening sensation immediately after the procedure, but in most cases, elasticity gradually increases over 2-3 months.
The effects of a single treatment last an average of one year, and many people seeking a strong lifting effect choose Ultherapy.
Experienced practitioners can achieve satisfactory results with as few as 300 shots of Ultherapy.
The Difference Between Good Lifting Clinics: 'Time and Skill'

The results of lifting procedures are not the same even with the same equipment.
The key is delivering the right amount of heat to the precise layer for a sufficient amount of time.
For example, with InMode's FORMA, collagen remodeling occurs sufficiently only after reaching the target temperature and maintaining it for a certain period.
If the treatment time is short or the passes are too quick, the skin may feel warm, but the energy in the deeper layers will be insufficient, reducing the effectiveness.
Additionally, devices like Shurink and Ultherapy, which concentrate heat strongly, require a thorough understanding of skin thickness, subcutaneous fat distribution, and fascial layer location to ensure safe treatment.
For these reasons, the experience and expertise of a skilled practitioner are paramount for lifting procedures.
All procedures may vary depending on the individual, and side effects such as swelling, inflammation, and bleeding may occur, so caution is advised.
