Why are people in their 20s getting lifting procedures these days?

In the past, lifting procedures were often seen as something only for those in their 40s and older. However, these days, more and more people in their 20s and 30s are starting to get them.

This is because skin aging starts much earlier than you might think.

Spending a lot of time using smartphones and computers often leads to poor posture, causing wrinkles around the mouth and jawline to appear sooner.

Additionally, exposure to UV rays, stress, and irregular sleep habits gradually reduce collagen in the skin, leading to decreased elasticity and subtle sagging at an early age.

Therefore, many 20-year-olds are now opting for light lifting procedures in the early stages of elasticity loss, recognizing the importance of managing their skin before it's too late.

Lifting procedures at this stage aren't just about improving sagging; they're also about maintaining elasticity and preventing aging.

The Principles and Effects of Ultherapy Lifting

Ultherapy is a representative ultrasound lifting procedure.

It works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to deep layers of the skin, particularly the SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), to heat the tissue and improve elasticity.

Ultherapy's key feature is its real-time ultrasound imaging (DeepSee mode), which allows practitioners to visualize the skin's thickness and treatment depth, ensuring that energy is delivered to the correct layers.

This function ensures that only the necessary areas are targeted, avoiding unnecessary stimulation.

In other words, it's a 'lifting procedure that lets you see the depth.'

As a result, satisfactory results can be achieved with just 300 shots, without wasting any.

Its powerful lifting effect and long-lasting results have made it a consistently popular choice.

The Principles and Effects of Shrink Universe

Shrink Universe is also a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) lifting procedure.

While its principles are similar to Ultherapy, it offers the advantage of being finely adjusted to suit individual skin conditions.

With its various handpieces, cartridges, and energy modes, it enables customized lifting for specific areas such as the eyes, nasolabial folds, and jawline.

In particular, the Ultra Booster handpiece can be used to closely target areas with many facial curves, allowing for delicate energy delivery.

Its minimal swelling and pain after the procedure, along with a quick return to daily life, make it a preferred lifting device among those in their 20s and 30s.

The Principles and Effects of InMode FX

InMode FX is a device that combines radiofrequency (RF) and vacuum suction technology.

It targets the subcutaneous fat layer around the face and jawline, using thermal energy to stimulate fat cells and promote metabolism.

It also features a function that delivers short bursts of high-voltage electrical stimulation (HVP) to temporarily weaken fat cell membranes, helping fat cells to naturally decrease.

This procedure is often used to address double chins, buccal fat (cheek fat), and to refine the jawline. Rather than lifting like Ultherapy or Shrink, it focuses on contouring and refining the face.

In other words, InMode FX is a procedure aimed at fat removal.

The Principles and Effects of InMode FORMA

InMode FORMA is a radiofrequency lifting procedure that heats the dermal layer of the skin to a constant temperature (approximately 40-43 degrees Celsius) to stimulate collagen regeneration.

The handpiece gently accumulates heat, causing the collagen in the skin to contract and stimulating the process of new collagen regeneration.

In short, it's a procedure that warms the skin from the inside to restore elasticity.

After a FORMA treatment, the skin feels moisturized and soft. With consistent treatments, you can expect improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and radiance.

Furthermore, combining it with FX can address both fat reduction and skin elasticity.

Therefore, the true effect of InMode is seen when FX and FORMA are combined.

Why Results Vary Depending on Skill and Expertise

Even with the same equipment, results can vary significantly depending on the practitioner's expertise.

Lifting isn't just about 'how many shots'; it's about where, at what depth, and at what intervals the energy is delivered.

For example, with Ultherapy or Shrink, even slight differences in the depth and spacing of the thermal coagulation points can affect the results, pain levels, and recovery time.

Also, with InMode, the results depend on how slowly the handpiece is moved and how consistently the heat is accumulated.

In other words, what's more important than the equipment's performance is the practitioner's skill in accurately understanding the skin's structure and finely controlling the thermal energy.

If the treatment time is too short or the same area is repeatedly treated, the skin may become irritated, leading to redness, swelling, or fatigue.

Conversely, if the treatment is performed at the correct speed with sufficient time, you can expect a smooth and natural improvement in elasticity.

Lifting is a procedure that depends more on the doctor's judgment and precision than on the name of the equipment.

A balanced approach tailored to the individual's skin condition is more important than a single, strong treatment.

All procedures may vary depending on the individual, and side effects such as swelling, inflammation, and bleeding may occur, so be careful.
