Natural lip filler: Why O.N Clinic Gangnam chose Teoxane | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

Natural lip filler: Why O.N Clinic Gangnam chose Teoxane | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide You might have been surprised when you looked in a mirror head-on and everything seemed fine, but then saw a side-profile photo someone took of you, and only your lips seemed to protrude forward. This is precisely what those considering lip filler fear most. "I asked for it to be subtle, but from the side, my lips look like they're floating. When I smile, my upper lip feels stiff." You can easily find such complaints in online communities. Every time I read them, as a doctor, I feel a sense of regret. Welcome. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224434171507/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic in Gangnam. The lips are a small area, and even a slight enhancement can change one's impression. A well-performed lip filler procedure can make the entire face appear more vibrant. Conversely, if you continue to feel awkward after the procedure, it might not simply be a problem caused by increasing the injection volume. In many cases, the treatment plan was determined by looking only at the lips in isolation. Methods such as injecting a fixed amount based only on lip size, focusing only on the front view without checking the side profile, or trying to solve the problem with only one product... If the treatment approach is like this, you might experience repeated dissatisfaction even if you dissolve the filler and get it again. Therefore, today, I would like to honestly tell you what needs to be considered first for natural-looking lip filler, and why I chose Teoxane. It will be enough if you take just 3 minutes to read it. ^^ If you understand what a lip filler procedure that considers the side profile entails, you can significantly reduce the chances of regretting it afterward. Natural-looking Lip Filler, Why Did Gangnam O.N Clinic Choose 'Teoxane'? --- > Table of Contents > > 1. Why might lip filler not look natural? > > 2. Why did O.N Clinic choose Teoxane for natural-looking lip filler? > > 3. Concluding remarks --- ## 1. Why might lip filler not look natural? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224434171507/2.png) Before choosing a product, there's a question that needs to be addressed. Why does lip filler look natural on some people, but awkward on others? Often, people think it's "because too much was injected" or "because the lips were originally thin." Upon closer inspection, the cause is often ultimately one thing: the lips were not viewed within the overall proportion of the face. The lips do not exist in isolation. From the side, how much the lips protrude within the line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin determines the impression, and from the front, it's important whether the length and thickness of the lips are harmonious with the width of the cheekbones and jaw. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224434171507/3.png) Only when the balance between the upper and lower lips, the shape of the Cupid's bow, and the direction of the corners of the mouth are all aligned, does it finally feel like 'my original lips'. If even one of these is out of alignment, the result changes. If someone with a short chin only increases lip volume, their mouth might appear to protrude from the side profile. If only the thickness is added to a face with wide cheekbones without considering the width of the lips, the lips might appear detached. Therefore, I do not determine the amount by simply looking at the lip size and saying, "I'll inject a few cc." So, even if the same proportions are considered, where does the difference in results come from? Let's examine this one by one. Natural-looking Lip Filler, Why Did Gangnam O.N Clinic Choose 'Teoxane'? --- ## 2. Why did O.N Clinic choose Teoxane for natural-looking lip filler? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224434171507/4.png) The first aspect to consider is the 'movement' of the lips. The lips are an area that constantly stretches and contracts every time we speak, eat, and smile. It's no exaggeration to say they are one of the busiest moving parts of the face. When reviewing feedback about awkward lip filler, there's a common expression: "It's fine when I'm still, but it bunches up when I smile," or "My upper lip moves less when I speak." Even if the proportions are well-matched, if a product that cannot follow the movement of the lips is used, the feeling described above might remain. Teoxane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler brand made in Switzerland, known by the name Teosyal. Among them, the RHA line is introduced as a filler designed to stretch and return in sync with facial movements. It also has a separate KISS line for subtle volume and contouring. This is also why I chose Teoxane. When performing a lip filler procedure, the areas that need volume, the areas that need clear contouring, and delicate areas like the corners of the mouth each require different properties. Therefore, I saw that being able to choose the appropriate line within the Teoxane brand, tailored to the area and purpose, helps to match both proportion and movement. (Teosyal filler, what kind of product is it?) - [Teosyal Filler Review? If you're worried about temple and side cheek hollowness (Must Read)](https://blog.naver.com/on-clinic/224429378449) Of course, this does not mean that other fillers besides Teoxane are not good. Every filler has its advantages and limitations. As Teosyal is also a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, swelling or bruising might occur after the procedure, and since the labial artery runs inside the lips, the possibility of rare vascular complications should also be considered. Ultimately, what's important is not the product name, but which layer and area of your lips, and with which line, that product is used. Before the procedure, I check the front, side profile, smiling expression, cheekbones, chin, and nose tip together, and also examine the proportions with the lips. Then, considering the course and layers of the labial artery, I divide the areas to be filled for volume and those to be refined for contour, and I personally design the appropriate line and amount for each area. I do not recommend excessively enlarging the lips relative to the proportions, and I also monitor the process of swelling subsiding and the filler settling after the procedure. During consultation, it's also a good idea to ask, "Considering my side profile and cheekbone proportions, what lip size would suit me?" Natural-looking Lip Filler, Why Did Gangnam O.N Clinic Choose 'Teoxane'? --- ## 3. Concluding remarks ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224434171507/5.jpg) This concludes the content I prepared for today. If you have any further questions or need a consultation, please feel free to contact O.N Clinic. Thank you very much for reading this long article today. This was Dr. Oh Seung-min, from the consultation room. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### My lips are thin, and I'm worried that if I enlarge them, they'll look like duck lips. Unnaturally large-looking lips are often caused by not matching the facial proportions rather than the amount injected. You can reduce this concern by first determining a suitable thickness within the proportions of your side profile, cheekbones, and jaw. ### From the side, my mouth looks recessed. Is it because of my lips? The side profile is influenced not only by lip thickness but also by the position of the nose tip and chin tip. It is advisable to first check the overall proportions of your facial profile rather than just filling the lips. ### I often hear that I look angry because the corners of my mouth are downturned. Downturned corners of the mouth can have various causes, such as lack of volume, muscle tension, or skin laxity. The treatment approach varies depending on the cause, so it's best to first identify why the corners of your mouth appear downturned. > *Notice > > This article was written to provide general medical information about Teosyal filler and lip filler. > > The effects and progress of the procedure may vary depending on an individual's facial structure, skin condition, and treatment conditions. > > Swelling, bruising, and pain may occur after the procedure, and rarely, side effects such as nodules, inflammation, or vascular occlusion may occur. > > *The decision regarding the procedure and method will be made after consultation with medical staff. **Recommended Articles to Read Together** - [Retizen Review: If it didn't work for your nasolabial folds? 2 Reasons (Public)](https://blog.naver.com/on-clinic/224383299577) - [Nasolabial Fold Removal Procedure: Why Current Medical Professionals Recommend HILO WAVE?](https://blog.naver.com/on-clinic/224392040905) **Recommended Videos to Watch Together** - [Plastic surgery and skin procedures should be approached with different criteria.

Teosyal filler review: temple and cheek hollowing concerns | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

Teosyal filler review: temple and cheek hollowing concerns | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide Have you been hesitant for years to get filler for sunken temples and side cheeks, worrying that it might look unnatural when you smile? "It looks fine when I'm still... but it looks especially lumpy when I smile or eat." This is the most common concern for those considering filler. However, let's take a closer look for a moment. The cause of this concern is often not the fact that filler was injected at all. In most cases, the result is determined by what type of filler was used, at what layer of the face, and with what movements in mind. Hello. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic in Gangnam. Today, I will explain how Teoxane's Teosyal filler can be applied to 'moving areas' like the temples and side cheeks, and what criteria determine the outcome of the procedure. If you take just 3 minutes to read this, you can fully understand the content. ^^ Teosyal filler reviews? If you're worried about sunken temples and side cheeks (must-read) --- > Table of Contents > > 1. Temple, Side Cheek Filler? > > It must look natural even when moving. > > 2. Ultimately, 'Anatomical Design' is Important. > > 3. Concluding Remarks --- ## 1. Temple, Side Cheek Filler? It must look natural even when moving. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/2.png) When people think of natural filler, they often imagine 'injecting just a little so it's not noticeable.' However, the naturalness I speak of doesn't end with it being unnoticeable when still. It's closer to a state where it moves with the surrounding tissues even when speaking, smiling, or chewing food, so no awkwardness is revealed. The temples and side cheeks are particularly important areas where 'naturalness' is crucial. This is because there are muscles under the temples that move when chewing food, and the side cheeks constantly contract and relax whenever you smile or speak. The problem is that if filler that cannot follow these movements is injected into such areas, it can create a feeling that only that area moves unnaturally when making expressions. The concern that your side cheeks look lumpy when you smile or your temples protrude when you chew after a filler procedure often stems from the reasons explained above. Therefore, for natural movement, I use 'Teosyal'. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/3.jpg) ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/4.jpg) ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/5.jpg) ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/6.jpg) This is the Teosyal RHA line. Teosyal is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler made by Teoxane in Switzerland. Among them, the RHA line is known for preserving the long chain structure of hyaluronic acid as much as possible and using less cross-linking agent. Due to these characteristics, it is introduced as a filler designed to move with facial expressions, utilizing the property of the gel to stretch and return to its original shape. Often... ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/7.png) "Filler needs to be firm to last long," but in areas with a lot of movement, flexibility is as important as firmness. In other words, the reason temple and side cheek fillers look natural is not simply because a small amount is injected. It's because the physical properties of the filler, which stretch and return with the moving face, are also considered. So, what causes the difference in results even when using the same Teosyal filler? Teosyal filler reviews? If you're worried about sunken temples and side cheeks (must-read) --- ## 2. Ultimately, 'Anatomical Design' is Important. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/8.png) Of course, selecting a filler suitable for moving areas is important. However, even when using the same Teosyal, the procedure results are not all identical. The completeness varies depending on which layer, how much, and in what order it is injected. The 'anatomical structure of the face' serves as the standard in this process. It may sound difficult, but the meaning is very simple. It's about first understanding how muscles, fat, and blood vessels overlap and where they pass under the skin. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/9.png) The temples have blood vessels that need attention, such as the superficial temporal artery, and the side cheeks are an area where facial muscles and fat layers are intricately intertwined. To be very honest, Teosyal, being a filler, can cause swelling or bruising, and rarely, there is a possibility of blood vessel-related problems. Also, because each area requires different degrees of firmness and flexibility, if the correct line of Teosyal filler products is not chosen, the results may not meet expectations. (In my personal opinion, these aspects can be greatly reduced by carefully checking the vascular course and tissue layers before the procedure and determining the appropriate line and injection depth for the area.^^) ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/10.jpg) When performing temple and side cheek filler, I first measure the skin condition and the degree of hollowness before the procedure, and check the face both at rest and when making expressions. Then, considering the vascular course and layers, I directly design which line to use and how much to inject into which area, and I do not excessively increase the injection amount compared to the degree of hollowness. I also continue to monitor the process of swelling reduction and settling after the procedure. Therefore, during consultation, it's a good idea to ask, "Considering the location of my temple blood vessels and my usual facial expressions, which layer would be best for injection?" Ultimately, 'filler that looks natural even when moving' is not completed by the type of product. It is important how meticulously the filler's properties suitable for movement, as well as invisible blood vessels and layers, are considered and designed. Teosyal filler reviews?

Concluding Remarks ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224429378449/r2/11.jpg) As mentioned earlier, examining the filler's properties, vascular layers, and anatomical structure before the procedure greatly influences the results. I hope you carefully examine not only your face at rest but also your usual expressions, undergo a suitable filler procedure, and continue your daily life comfortably facing your smiling self in photos. If you have any questions or need consultation after reading today's column, please feel free to contact O.N Clinic. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director. Thank you. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### I've heard that if you put filler in your temples, it moves when you eat. Is that true? There are muscles under the temples that help with mastication, so if a formulation that cannot follow movement is injected or if it's injected into an inappropriate layer, it may look unnatural. Therefore, it is important to choose a filler with flexible properties that can move, and to determine the injection depth after checking the muscle and vascular layers. ### If I put filler in my side cheeks, won't my face look bigger? If the amount is too much or the position is incorrect compared to the degree of hollowness, the face may appear wider. Designing the injection amount and position to naturally connect the sunken boundaries can reduce this concern. ### What if my face looks lumpy when I smile after a filler procedure? Contour irregularities that appear when making expressions often occur when the filler's properties and injection layer do not match the movement. It is advisable to check during the consultation phase whether the face at rest and when smiling are both examined and designed before the procedure. ### I've heard that temple filler is dangerous due to blood vessels. Is that true? Since there are blood vessels in the temples that require caution, the process of checking the vascular course and layers before the procedure is important. Rarely, blood vessel-related problems may occur, so if pain worsens or skin color changes after the procedure, you should inform the clinic immediately. > *Notice > > This article was written to provide general medical information about Teosyal filler. > > The effect and course of the procedure may vary depending on the individual's skin condition, facial structure, and procedure conditions. > > Swelling, bruising, and pain may occur after the procedure, and rarely, side effects such as nodules, inflammation, or vascular occlusion may occur. > > The decision on whether and how to perform the procedure is made after consultation with medical staff. **Recommended Articles** - [Filler Inflammation?

Titanium lifting: Is there really no downtime or side effects? | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

Titanium lifting: Is there really no downtime or side effects? | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide "I have an in-law meeting next week, would it be okay to get Titanium during this Gaecheonjeol holiday weekend?" Many people searching for Titanium downtime are counting down the days like this. To answer first, the downtime is relatively short, but it's difficult to say that there are 'no' side effects. Many people think, "It's a simple laser lifting procedure, so I can return to daily life immediately, and nothing will happen." However, a short downtime and no side effects are different things. Why shouldn't these two be taken to mean the same thing? Oh, I'm a little late with my introduction. I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the representative director of O.N Clinic in Gangnam. Today, I would like to explain step-by-step what reactions can actually appear after Titanium lifting and what side effects must be addressed before the procedure. If you read for just 3 minutes, it will become clear what to check when scheduling your procedure date and when receiving a consultation ^^ Titanium lifting, does it really have no downtime or side effects? --- > Contents > > 1. Titanium lifting downtime? > > It's not long. > > 2. Side effects I might unknowingly miss? > > 3. Concluding remarks --- ## 1. Titanium lifting downtime? It's not long. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/1.png) "It's a laser, so won't I get scabs and have to stay home for a few days after receiving it?" Many people who are new to Titanium lifting procedures think this way. ^^; However, Titanium is not a laser that shaves off the skin surface or creates microscopic holes. It is a non-invasive method that simultaneously irradiates three wavelengths of diode laser—755nm, 810nm, and 1064nm—to deliver heat to the inner layers of the skin while leaving the surface intact. Additionally, sapphire cooling during the procedure lowers the skin surface temperature, so the burden on the outer skin is known to be relatively low. Therefore, many people return to their daily lives immediately after the procedure, washing their face or applying light makeup. So, are there no abnormalities on the skin? That is not the case. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/2.png) As it is a procedure that delivers heat into the skin, reactions such as those below may appear immediately afterward: facial heat, redness, mild swelling, and rarely, bruising. These phenomena can occur as the temporarily increased blood flow and water retention during the recovery process of tissues that received heat stimulation. Most of these usually subside naturally over time, but the degree of swelling can vary quite a bit from person to person. If you are someone whose face often swells every morning, if you consumed alcohol or salty foods before and after the procedure, or if you engaged in activities that raise body temperature, such as a sauna, on the day of the procedure, the swelling might last a little longer. Therefore, for those receiving Titanium lifting for the first time, I do not recommend scheduling the procedure date right before an important event. If you haven't yet checked how your skin reacts, it can be much more reassuring to leave some leeway between your event and the procedure. Titanium lifting, does it really have no downtime or side effects? --- ## 2. Side effects I might unknowingly miss? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/3.png) What truly requires more attention is not swelling or redness. It's the reactions that arise due to 'skin conditions' that you might not even be aware of before the procedure. Among the wavelengths used in Titanium, 755nm has a property that reacts well with melanin pigment and hair follicles. While this property can be utilized for skin tone improvement, the degree of improvement may vary depending on the individual. Depending on the skin condition, the same property could even become a burden. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/4.png) For example, if you have deep or widespread melasma, the pigment is known to be stimulated and may actually darken. If irradiated directly on areas with beards or fine hairs, unwanted hair loss or folliculitis due to hair follicle stimulation can also occur. Rarely, if the energy is not applied appropriately to the skin condition, there is a possibility of leading to hyperpigmentation or burns. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/5.png) The problem is that it's difficult for individuals to notice these conditions before the procedure. Faint melasma is often hidden under makeup, and many people don't pay much attention to fine hairs around their chin. This is the real reason why I believe that "short downtime" and "no side effects" should not be taken to mean the same thing. Titanium is not a procedure that can be performed with the same number of shots for everyone. Even with the same equipment, it is a procedure where the mode, energy, and irradiation range must be adjusted according to the condition of melasma and pigment, the areas with hair, and skin thickness. Therefore, I believe that the condition of the skin should be examined before the procedure date. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/6.jpg) Before the procedure, I first measure the skin condition to check the pigment, skin thickness, and degree of sagging, and then directly design the mode and energy accordingly. For areas with dense melasma, I adjust the irradiation method, and in some cases, I may recommend a different procedure instead of Titanium. After the procedure, I also check the progress with the patient, observing how swelling and redness subside. It's also a good idea to ask during the consultation, "Considering my skin condition, which areas would be best to focus the procedure on?" Titanium lifting, does it really have no downtime or side effects? --- ## 3. Concluding remarks ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224428436902/r2/7.jpg) This is all I wanted to convey today. If you have any further questions about Titanium lifting, please search for 'Doctor Stem' on YouTube. Thank you very much for reading to the end today. Sincerely, Dr. Oh Seung-min, Representative Director of O.N Clinic. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### I have some melasma, can I still get Titanium lifting? If wavelengths that react to pigment are included, melasma may actually darken depending on its condition, so it is recommended to first check the depth and extent of the pigment before the procedure. Depending on the condition, the irradiation method may be adjusted, or other procedures may be considered. ### My face seems more swollen the day after the procedure, is that okay? Temporary swelling may occur during the tissue recovery process after heat stimulation, and the degree may vary depending on individual constitution or consumption of alcohol/salty foods. If the swelling worsens or is accompanied by pain or blisters, it is recommended to contact the clinic where you received the procedure immediately. ### I have fine hairs on my chin, and I heard that laser treatment can cause hair loss. Some wavelengths react to hair follicles, so if irradiated directly on hairy areas, unwanted hair removal or folliculitis may occur. If you inform us in advance of areas where you do not wish to remove hair, we can adjust the irradiation area. ### I have an important appointment next week, can I get Titanium lifting now? While downtime is known to be short, if it's your first time, you don't yet know how your skin will react. It may be more reassuring to schedule the procedure with some leeway between your event and the procedure. > *Notice > > This article was written to provide general medical information about Titanium lifting. > > The effects and progress of the procedure may vary depending on individual skin condition and procedure circumstances. > > After the procedure, heat, redness, swelling, and bruising may occur, and rarely, side effects such as hyperpigmentation, folliculitis, or burns may occur. > > The decision regarding the procedure and method will be made after consultation with medical staff. **Recommended Articles** - [Titanium Lifting Review: When do the effects start and how long do they last?](https://blog.naver.com/on-clinic/224421007473) - [Titanium Effect, One Week?

If you've been looking into Ultherapy because the left-right difference is particularly noticeable in photos compared to the mirror, this is probably what you've been most curious about. Hello. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224427350733/r2/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic. Recently, some people are seeking Ultherapy not only for the purpose of making their face smaller or lifting it overall, but also to subtly refine the difference in left-right contours. However, Ultherapy cannot be recommended for all cases where the face appears asymmetrical. This is because if the size or position of the facial bones themselves are different, or if other causes such as the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, or dental occlusion are central, Ultherapy cannot 'correct' that structure. Conversely, if the degree of skin sagging and the position of soft tissues differ on both sides, and one jawline or cheek appears to be lower, the situation changes slightly. In such cases, instead of treating both sides identically, the treatment depth, range, and energy can be planned differently after checking the actual skin layers. If you are a reader wondering, "Does my face fit this description?", please read this column to the end. If you focus for about 3 minutes, you may gain the knowledge you need. Can Ultherapy 300 shots be effective for correcting facial asymmetry? --- > Contents > > 1. Facial Asymmetry, > > When is Ultherapy not recommended? > > 2. Ultherapy 300 shots? > > We perform the procedure 'like this'. > > 3. Concluding remarks --- ## 1. Facial Asymmetry, When is Ultherapy not recommended? Why does facial asymmetry occur? In reality, everyone has some degree of left-right difference in their face. For example, the degree of cheekbone protrusion may differ, the position of the jawbone may be skewed to one side, or the size of the masticatory muscles may change due to a habit of chewing only on one side. It is not appropriate to proceed with Ultherapy to correct asymmetry that originates from the bone structure or muscles themselves. Ultherapy is not a treatment that moves the position of bones or directly corrects muscle size... ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224427350733/r2/2.png) This is because it is a medical device approved for the purpose of lifting sagging jawlines by coagulating tissue using focused ultrasound. So, in what cases can Ultherapy be considered? For example, we can consider cases where one jawline is relatively lower, where the boundary of one jawline appears unusually blurred, or where there is a noticeable difference in the degree of sagging of the left and right jawlines. However, even in the above cases, we do not simply decide to "perform Ultherapy because of facial asymmetry." During consultations in the examination room, I first compare the height, volume, position of the left and right jawlines, the hollowness under the cheekbones, skin thickness, and fat distribution to identify which side shows more prominent sagging. Ultherapy (PRIME) can treat by selecting depths of 1.5mm 3.0mm 4.5mm while viewing the tissue below the skin with real-time ultrasound imaging. Because the thickness of the tissue and the position of each layer differ for each individual, this imaging can be used to plan the treatment area. Especially if asymmetry is a concern, it is not always necessary to plan both sides with the same depth and number of shots. If one side has relatively prominent jawline sagging, while the opposite side already lacks volume, it may be necessary to determine the treatment area after separately checking the skin and anatomical structure of both sides. Therefore, if the examination reveals that the main cause is differences in bone structure or muscles, I do not try to solve it with Ultherapy alone. Conversely, if sagging related to Ultherapy's lifting range appears differently on the left and right sides of the face, a treatment plan can be established to reflect that difference. You might simply think, "Since it's asymmetrical, I'll just focus the shots on one side." However, there is one more condition to consider here. That is, at what depth and in what range will energy be delivered? Can Ultherapy 300 shots be effective for correcting facial asymmetry? --- ## 2. Ultherapy 300 shots? We perform the procedure 'like this'. When people hear "Ultherapy 300 shots," they often assume that 150 shots are evenly divided and applied to each side of the face. However, if the procedure considers facial asymmetry, it is not necessarily performed that way. As mentioned earlier, the actual tissue condition of the left and right sides of the face may not be the same. A feature of Ultherapy (PRIME) is that it can perform the procedure while checking the internal skin tissue in real-time using DeepSEE™ technology. For example, what if one jawline has a lot of volume and sags downwards, while the opposite side has less volume and a relatively clear jawline? In this case, applying the same depth, same number of shots, and same treatment area to both sides could actually look unnatural. I would first divide the areas that actually need treatment on both sides. I would consider which layers to focus on for lifting the side with more sagging, which areas to preserve on the opposite side, and whether there are any areas that are already hollow, such as the cheeks or temples. Therefore, it is not correct to set the treatment direction as "always apply strong energy to the side with severe asymmetry." It is more reasonable to first check if the skin layer needs energy delivery, and only if necessary, vary the treatment density, depth, or range on the left and right sides. The same applies to the number of "300 shots." Where these shots are placed on the face and at what depth can be more important information in actual treatment. When a patient has concerns about facial asymmetry, I do not just compare the left and right contours from the front. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224427350733/r2/3.png) I also examine the side profile to check the difference in the position of the jawline and cheeks, and then plan the treatment area after examining the actual tissue depth through Ultherapy (PRIME)'s real-time imaging. I believe that not unnecessarily touching areas lacking volume is also a part of the planning. Rather than aiming for perfectly identical sides after Ultherapy... it is more realistic to first check if there are any parts among the various factors causing current asymmetry that are related to Ultherapy's lifting application range. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224427350733/r2/4.jpg) If the bone structure and muscles of the face are different, and someone claims to "correct" this with a single lifting procedure, you should be cautious. Ultherapy is not a device that treats facial asymmetry itself... it is better to understand it as a lifting procedure that can plan different treatment areas considering the current state when there is a difference in the degree of sagging of the left and right jawlines. Can Ultherapy 300 shots be effective for correcting facial asymmetry? --- ## 3. Concluding remarks ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224427350733/r2/5.jpg) The face is not originally a perfectly symmetrical structure. Therefore, simply pulling one side harder when asymmetry is discovered is not always the answer. First, it is necessary to identify what is causing the left-right difference among bone structure, muscles, volume, and sagging, and to accurately distinguish the areas where Ultherapy can play a role. Based on that standard, treatment can approach a much more realistic direction than the vague goal of "asymmetry correction." Thank you very much for reading to the end. This was Dr. Oh Seung-min, lead director, from the examination room. Thank you. ^^ --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### I suspect facial asymmetry because one side of my jawline looks particularly wide in photos. Is Ultherapy possible? If the sagging of one jawline appears relatively more prominent, the applicability of Ultherapy can be considered after checking the current facial condition. However, if the cause is differences in bone or masticatory muscles, a different type of procedure may be necessary, so distinguishing the cause first is important. ### Can more shots be applied to only one side of the face? The number of treatment lines or the range can be planned differently depending on the left and right conditions. However, it is not simply a matter of delivering more shots to one side; the necessary depth and density must be determined after checking ultrasound images and anatomical structures. ### One side under my cheekbone is more hollow; can I still have the procedure? If an area already lacks volume, it may be necessary to reduce or avoid the treatment area. It is important to also consider volume preservation so as not to emphasize hollowness further while trying to reduce asymmetry. ### My jaw itself is rotated to one side; will it still be effective? Ultherapy cannot correct skeletal asymmetry itself. However, if there is also a difference in skin sagging, a supplementary approach to refine that soft tissue part can be considered. > *Notice > > Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting procedure using micro-focused ultrasound, and the treatment depth and range may vary depending on an individual's skin thickness, fat distribution, facial structure, and degree of sagging. > > If the cause of facial asymmetry lies in bone structure, muscles, or dental occlusion, it may be difficult to correct with Ultherapy alone. > > After the procedure, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, or temporary sensory changes may occur depending on the individual, so please decide whether to proceed with the procedure after a thorough consultation. **Recommended Articles** - [Gangnam Ultherapy Clinic?

Sinnonhyeon dermatology, Onda lifting effects? Cycle? All about it | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

Sinnonhyeon dermatology, Onda lifting effects? Cycle? All about it | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide "I heard Onda Lifting is good for double chins and facial fat reduction, is that true?" "If it's good after one session, can I keep getting it every 4 weeks?" These are the two most common questions that come to mind when searching for Onda Lifting... What are its effects, and how often should one receive it? Oh, I apologize for the late introduction. ^^; Hello. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224424800491/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic. When I look at reviews online, I occasionally see comments like "my jawline became sharper" or "I chose Onda because of my double chin." Because of this, some people with facial fat or an unclear jawline might think they should start with Onda. In fact, Onda is a device for which the applicability of the procedure is sometimes reviewed by examining both the facial fat distribution and skin condition. However, what I consider most important during consultations is, 'Is Onda truly necessary for the current facial condition?' Not all reasons for a face appearing large are due to fat, and not all reasons for a sagging jawline are the same. Therefore, today, focusing on the effects and frequency that people considering Onda Lifting most frequently ask about, I will summarize two things you should check before the procedure. Even reading for just 3 minutes can help you establish criteria for determining if Onda is necessary for your face, rather than simply following reviews. ^^ Sinnonhyeon Dermatology, Onda Lifting effects? Frequency? I'll tell you everything from 1 to 100. --- > Table of Contents > > 1. If you have a lot of 'facial fat', > > will the Onda effect be the same? > > 2. Onda Lifting procedure every '4 weeks', > > is it really okay? > > 3. Conclusion --- ## 1. If you have a lot of 'facial fat', will the Onda effect be the same? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224424800491/2.png) Onda Lifting is a bit different from simply understanding it as a procedure that strongly pulls the entire face. The areas I actually examine when considering Onda are those with a high distribution of facial fat, such as the submental area, as well as areas where the skin appears more lax than before. (However, even if these areas are a concern, we do not perform Onda procedures in the exact same way for everyone. ^^;) ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224424800491/3.png) Onda is a procedure that has the advantage of being able to simultaneously reduce localized fat and firm up the skin. However, there is one thing you must clearly understand here: 'appearing to have a lot of facial fat' and 'actually having a lot of fat that can be removed' are not the same thing. For example, some people have hollows under their cheekbones or in their temples, but volume is concentrated specifically around their jaw. If we were to reduce overall volume in such a face, the jawline might become lighter, but the hollowness of the midface could become even more pronounced. Conversely, if someone has a lot of fat under their chin, the treatment area can be reviewed with a focus on that specific region. The degree of skin laxity should also be considered. Faces where the fat volume is not significant but the skin is thinly stretched, or faces where the jawline boundary is blurred due to the weight of fat, are not treated in the same way. Therefore, when deciding on Onda, I do not simply use body weight or face size as criteria. I check the extent of the fat layer when the submental area is grasped by hand (this is called palpation), whether there are any areas of volume loss, and which areas actually appear dull from the front and side. This process can sometimes lead to cases where Onda is not recommended. If someone naturally has little facial fat and severely sunken cheeks, other methods of elasticity management might be more suitable than fat reduction. It's like a famous pair of shoes being useless if they don't fit your feet. With Onda, it's not about whether it's a good device or not, but whether there are precisely areas on the current face that need to be reduced. And if you've confirmed this criterion, you might have the following question. ^^ "So, how often should I receive Onda?" Sinnonhyeon Dermatology, Onda Lifting effects? Frequency? I'll tell you everything from 1 to 100. --- ## 2. Is it really okay to receive Onda Lifting every '4 weeks'? "Other places say to get it every 4 weeks." "If the effect is good, can I keep getting it every month?" When researching Onda Lifting, you often hear about a '4-week interval'. However, this does not mean that every face must repeat the same number of sessions every month. The actual treatment interval should be determined after checking the current skin condition, the response after the previous treatment, and the treatment area. What's important for the face is to confirm what changes occurred after the previous treatment. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224424800491/4.png) For example, if after the first treatment, concerns about lower facial volume have decreased but skin elasticity is still a bit of a concern, it may be necessary to reconsider whether to repeat the treatment in the exact same way. Conversely, if there are still clear areas that need treatment, additional treatments can be considered step by step. This means that even for the same person, the treatment area and goals can change with each session. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224424800491/5.png) In particular, with Onda, the treatment direction should not be set as 'the more you do, the smaller your face becomes.' If the treatment is planned to reduce facial volume, it is essential to carefully determine which areas to apply it to. Therefore, rather than setting the number of sessions and duration from the beginning, such as "you must receive 3 sessions at 4-week intervals," I tend to confirm the fat distribution and skin elasticity of the face, and then assess the need for the next treatment by checking the changes from the previous session. Also, there's one more thing I'd like you to remember. You don't need to decide whether to continue with the next session based solely on the appearance immediately after the procedure. Since there can be individual differences in how the skin condition and facial contours appear to change after the procedure... Judging in just a few days, "It hasn't changed much, so should I do it again right away?" can be a premature decision. Therefore, when deciding the treatment cycle, you shouldn't just look at the calendar, but also consider the current state of your face. This involves checking which areas have reduced compared to before the treatment, how much the skin has been refined, and whether there are any volumes that should no longer be touched. Onda Lifting cannot be definitively called a one-time procedure, nor can it be said to be a regular maintenance that must be repeated unconditionally. The extent to which the desired changes in your face have progressed should be the criterion for determining the timing of the next treatment. So, if you are looking into Onda Lifting at a Sinnonhyeon dermatology clinic, I hope you hear an explanation like this along with the question, "How often should I do it?" What areas of your face are the target for reduction, and what will be used to judge whether to proceed with the next treatment? If you receive clear explanations for these two points, you will feel much less overwhelmed when deciding on the number of sessions or the cycle. ^^ Sinnonhyeon Dermatology, Onda Lifting effects? Frequency? I'll tell you everything from 1 to 100. --- ## 3. Conclusion ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224424800491/6.jpg) That's all for today's content. Onda Lifting is neither a procedure that must be chosen simply because of concerns about facial fat, nor is it a regular maintenance that can be repeated every month. It is more important to differentiate the current fat and volume distribution of the face and to determine the next step by checking the condition after one treatment. Thank you very much for reading to the end today. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic. Thank you. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### If fat is concentrated only under my chin, do I need to treat my entire face? Not necessarily. If the area of concern is concentrated under the chin, a method focusing on that specific area while preserving other volumes can be considered. ### I don't have much facial fat, but my jawline is particularly blurry. A blurry jawline is not necessarily caused by fat. If skin elasticity or the influence of other structures is greater, other lifting methods might be more suitable than fat reduction. ### If I'm satisfied after one session, do I not need additional treatments? If the desired changes are sufficient, there is no absolute need for additional treatments. It is better to check the skin condition and fat distribution afterward and plan the next steps when necessary. ### Can I receive treatment again before one month (4 weeks) has passed? Rather than repeating the same area at too short an interval, it is important to thoroughly observe the changes after the previous treatment. > *Notice > > The perceived changes and the number of sessions required for Onda Lifting may vary individually depending on skin condition, fat volume, and treatment area. > > After the procedure, temporary reactions such as redness, warmth, or tenderness may occur depending on the individual. > > For the face, please differentiate between areas that are already hollow and areas where fat can be reduced, then determine the appropriate treatment area and repetition timing. **Recommended Articles** - [Sinnonhyeon Station Dermatology, Oligio Kiss vs. Onda Lifting?

HILO WAVE & Alltite: 2 reasons for a good combination (effects, timing) | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

HILO WAVE & Alltite: 2 reasons for a good combination (effects, timing) | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide Are you facing an important appointment and want to refine your facial contours, but you're worried that a lifting treatment alone might make hollow cheeks or nasolabial folds more noticeable? Or perhaps you're concerned that a volume treatment alone might not address the sagging? ^^ Welcome. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224420034944/r2/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic in Gangnam. Recently, many people come in not with just one concern, but feeling that their jawline is sagging, their anterior cheeks look hollow, and their skin elasticity has also decreased. Therefore, it's not uncommon for people to wonder if they can receive Alltite and HILO WAVE together. Since these two treatments use different methods and product characteristics, we can review whether they can be applied together depending on your current facial condition. However, the important thing here is not simply adding 'lifting + injection treatment'. If the procedure is performed without properly distinguishing which areas need to be addressed first and which areas need to consider existing volume, the changes in the facial line and existing hollowness might be perceived differently. Conversely, if more volume than necessary is injected, the result might look different from what you envisioned. So, for those of you considering HILO WAVE and Alltite together, I will explain exactly two reasons why this combination of treatments can be beneficial today. If you read for about 3 minutes, you will be able to understand what kind of treatment each is, and what to consider when planning them at the same time. 2 Reasons Why HILO WAVE and Alltite are a Good Combination (Effect, Timing)? --- > Contents > > 1. 'Lifting' and 'Injection Treatments' are Different > > 2. HILO WAVE, Alltite Combination? > > The important thing is 'division'. > > 3. Concluding Remarks --- ## 1. 'Lifting' and 'Injection Treatments' are Different The first thing to understand when considering these two treatments together is that their application methods and purposes are different. Alltite is a medical device approved as a shortwave stimulator that uses electromagnetic energy. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224420034944/r2/2.png) Therefore, when planning actual cosmetic procedures, it is important to receive a thorough explanation about the current facial condition, application area, and treatment method, rather than just looking at the device name. HILO WAVE, on the other hand, has a slightly different approach. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224420034944/r2/3.png) HILO WAVE is a tissue-restoring biomaterial primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, approved as a medical device for the temporary improvement of facial wrinkles in adults. Therefore, it is difficult to consider the two treatments as being applied to the skin in the same way. This very difference is the first reason to consider combination treatment. Facial aging does not occur in only one direction. While the cheeks may appear hollow, the lower part of the face may lose elasticity and sag, and the area below the cheekbones may be sunken while the mouth and jawline may have relatively more volume. In such a face, rather than determining the treatment direction based on a single concern, it is necessary to divide and examine which elements are affecting each part of the current face. Therefore, when combining the two treatments, I first consider 'which area, for what purpose, should be treated?' rather than 'what should I do first?'. However, there are exceptions. If only one treatment is sufficient for your current facial condition, there is no reason to proceed with both. Also, depending on the cause of the hollow or sagging appearance, one treatment might not be suitable for your current concern. In other words, combining the two treatments does not guarantee better results for everyone. There may be cases where they can be reviewed together depending on your current facial condition. 2 Reasons Why HILO WAVE and Alltite are a Good Combination (Effect, Timing)? --- ## 2. HILO WAVE, Alltite Effect? The Important Thing is 'Division'. I mentioned earlier that the two treatments have different application methods and purposes. So, what should be most carefully considered when actually performing them together? The answer is quite clear: not treating the entire face as one mass and applying the same treatment everywhere. For example, let's consider a face where the jawline is gradually disappearing, but the anterior cheeks and the area below the cheekbones are rather hollow. In such a case, it is somewhat unreasonable to judge the concerned jawline and lower face, as well as the already empty anterior cheeks, by the same standard. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224420034944/r2/4.png) Conversely, HILO WAVE is not planned by uniformly injecting along the nasolabial folds just because they are visible. Various factors can be involved in deep nasolabial folds, such as the condition of the folds themselves or whether changes in the anterior cheek or surrounding volume are also contributing. This is precisely why, when combining the two treatments, 'dividing the areas and purposes' is more important than the individual treatments themselves. It is necessary to check separately whether the range to be treated with Alltite and the areas to apply HILO WAVE are appropriate for your current facial condition. At O.N Clinic, when planning such combination treatments, I don't just divide the face into upper and lower sections. I examine the volume below the cheekbones, the height of the anterior cheeks, the starting point of the nasolabial folds, and the overall lower face and jawline, and then separately consider where to perform lifting or HILO WAVE treatments. It might sound simple when explained. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224420034944/r2/5.png) However, in a real face, the boundary between sagging and hollowness is not as clear-cut as if drawn with a knife. Especially for those with less facial fat or prominent cheekbones, even a slight difference in the lifting position can make existing hollowness appear more noticeable. Conversely, if there is already sufficient volume in the central part of the face and it is filled more than necessary, the face might feel wider or heavier. Therefore, I do not aim to perform both treatments on the same day, in the same area, and in large quantities just because it's a combination treatment. The priority is to confirm whether the necessary method can be applied to the necessary area. The meaning of considering both treatments together ultimately lies here. Alltite does not need to be replaced by HILO WAVE in areas where Alltite is sufficient, and if different concerns exist together, it is possible to examine which treatment is needed for each. So, if you are looking into HILO WAVE and Alltite together, I hope you don't just ask, "Will they be more effective if done together?" A more important criterion is whether the clinic can explain which parts of your face will be treated for what purpose. ^^ 2 Reasons Why HILO WAVE and Alltite are a Good Combination (Effect, Timing)? --- ## 3. Concluding Remarks ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224420034944/r2/6.png) This concludes the content I prepared for today. HILO WAVE and Alltite are not treatments that work in the same way. Since their application methods and purposes are different, if both treatments are needed for your current face, their respective roles can be planned separately. Combining the two treatments does not guarantee a greater change or a longer duration for everyone. Please first confirm whether both treatments are necessary for your face. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, lead director. Thank you. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### I have an important event coming up; can I receive both HILO WAVE and Alltite treatments together? The possibility depends on the time remaining until the event and the scope of the treatment. Alltite can be used when a relatively quick tightening effect is desired, and HILO WAVE can address both volume replenishment and skin condition management. ### Can lifting make my face look more hollow if I have little facial fat? If areas that already lack volume are treated with strong energy for tightening, the hollowness may appear relatively more emphasized. Therefore, if you have little facial fat, it is important to separate the lifting area and the volume replenishment area. ### If my nasolabial folds are deep, should I only receive HILO WAVE treatment in that area? Not necessarily. Since nasolabial folds can appear deep due to hollow anterior cheeks, it is better to check the surrounding volume together rather than just focusing on the nasolabial line. ### Will combining the two treatments also extend the duration of the effects? It is difficult to say that the duration of effects will consistently increase simply by combining the two treatments. The significance lies in treating different causes of aging separately, and the extent of maintenance varies individually depending on skin condition and treatment area. > *Notice > > Energy-based lifting and injection treatments may require different suitable methods depending on an individual's skin thickness, fat distribution, facial structure, and degree of sagging. > > After Alltite treatment, redness, warmth, and tenderness may temporarily appear, and after injection treatments like HILO WAVE, swelling, bruising, and tenderness may temporarily appear, with individual differences. > > Combination therapy is not necessary for everyone, so please distinguish between current sagging and volume loss before deciding on the appropriate treatment area and method. **Directions** O.N Clinic · 8th Floor, 428 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison: effects and differences by 17-year medical staff | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison: effects and differences by 17-year medical staff | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide "I've heard of Oligio, but what's different about Oligio XM?" "Since it's new, does it have better lifting effects?" With the recent launch of Oligio XM, many people are curious about the differences between it and the existing Oligio.

The first thing you should look at is 'what kind of energy can be used'. Both can utilize radiofrequency energy, but Oligio XM also has focused ultrasound functionality, which makes a difference in the actual operational methods. ## 1-1. The existing Oligio using monopolar radiofrequency ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/3.png) Oligio is a medical device that delivers 6.78MHz monopolar RF energy to the skin to coagulate tissue. It is also a device often considered by those who are looking into radiofrequency procedures due to concerns about reduced skin elasticity or changes in facial contours. It is better to understand it as a device that delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin, rather than one that strongly pulls the entire face. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/4.png) Even when concerned about changes in the elasticity of the cheeks or jawline, the applicability can be considered after checking the current skin condition. It also has the characteristic of being able to use separate tips for the face and for narrow areas, depending on the region. Therefore, what is important is not simply viewing it as an 'existing device', but rather checking whether the monopolar RF method is suitable for your current concerns. ## 1-2. Oligio XM, which can deliver energy to various depths ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/5.png) Oligio XM is a device that combines focused ultrasound functionality with the radiofrequency energy used in the existing Oligio. It is officially designed to use both radiofrequency and ultrasound, delivering energy to various depths from the superficial skin layer to the SMAS layer. Oligio XM is configured to use the radiofrequency-based G · X mode, and 3.0mm 4.5mm ultrasound cartridges that deliver energy to these depths. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/6.jpg) Simply put, this means that you can choose between a method that utilizes radiofrequency energy and a method that uses focused ultrasound to deliver energy to different depths within one device. For example, whether to plan primarily with radiofrequency energy based on the current skin condition, or whether it is necessary to also consider other depths using ultrasound, may vary depending on the facial condition and the treatment area. The biggest difference of Oligio XM is that in such cases, different energy sources and depths can be selected for the procedure. Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison? We will summarize the effects and differences. -Written by a medical professional with 17 years of experience --- ## 2. Oligio XM, Is it a new device, so will the effects be better? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/7.png) There is a common misunderstanding here. Not everyone needs to receive Oligio XM just because it's a new device. If the monopolar radiofrequency method is suitable for your current concerns and skin condition, the existing Oligio can also be an option. Conversely, if it's necessary to consider different depths and energy sources together rather than just one method, then exploring the various modes of Oligio XM might be an option. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/8.png) In other words, the difference lies not in 'new vs. old model', but rather in 'how deep the treatment is needed for the face'. This aspect is much more important in the actual choice. Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison? We will summarize the effects and differences. -Written by a medical professional with 17 years of experience --- ## 3. Oligio vs Oligio XM, Ultimately, what's important is '00'. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224419884626/r2/9.png) When I decide on a lifting procedure, the first thing I look at is not the type or name of the device. I first look at 'which layer this sagging started from'. I distinguish whether the skin itself is thin and stretched, whether deeper layers of tissue have descended, or whether the face appears saggy due to volume loss. These three, while all appearing as 'sagging face' on the surface, can lead to completely different treatment approaches. That's why, in the consultation room, I consider both existing lifting devices and the newly released Oligio XM as options, and first determine what treatment scope is needed. There's no reason to use energy at various depths if it's not necessary, and conversely, if the current condition requires examining other depths as well, then an appropriate method can be considered. Ultimately, no matter which device is used... It's necessary to go through the process of confirming 'what part of my face needs to be addressed first' rather than just the type. If you compare based on the information I've explained today, you'll be able to make a much wiser decision than simply asking, "Is Oligio XM better?" That's all I've prepared for today. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, Chief Director of O.N Clinic. Thank you. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### My skin is thin, but only my jawline appears saggy. Which lifting device should I use for the procedure? Skin thickness and jawline sagging do not necessarily originate from the same cause. It is advisable to first distinguish whether it is due to reduced surface elasticity or sagging originating from deeper layers, and then select the device. ### I've had the existing Oligio, can I switch to Oligio XM? The possibility depends on reviewing your previous procedure responses and current skin condition together. Rather than simply being a new model, what layer needs to be treated this time is more important. ### My face has little fat, is it okay to get a lifting procedure? For faces with less volume, the process of distinguishing between sunken areas and actually saggy areas is particularly important. A method that selects only the necessary areas, rather than treating all areas with the same intensity, may be suitable. ### After getting Oligio XM, do I not need any other procedures? Just because one lifting device can address multiple skin layers does not mean it can solve all skin concerns at once. Depending on skin texture, volume, and the type of sagging, other treatments may be more suitable or a combination may be necessary. > *Notice > > The appropriate device and treatment area for lifting procedures may vary depending on skin thickness, fat distribution, degree of sagging, and facial structure. > > After the procedure, temporary reactions such as redness, heat, swelling, and tenderness may occur depending on the individual. > > Please first confirm whether your current concern is skin elasticity or deep sagging, and then decide on the appropriate treatment method. **Recommended Articles** - [Can't get a lift if you have little facial fat? 2 reasons why Oligio and filler are recommended](https://blog.naver.com/on-clinic/224411374271) - [Oligio 300 shots vs 600 shots difference?

Thermage FLX vs Titanium vs Ultherapy? Effects & duration - Dr. Oh Seung-min | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

Thermage FLX vs Titanium vs Ultherapy? Effects & duration - Dr. Oh Seung-min | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide "My wedding is coming up soon; should I get Titanium?" "I heard Thermage or Ultherapy take time to show results, so what should I do to maintain them for a long time?" These are questions I've heard very frequently during 17 years of lifting consultations. Hello. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/1.jpg) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director of O.N Clinic in Gangnam. Thermage, Titanium, and Ultherapy are all treatments frequently discussed when considering facial elasticity and contour. If you have a fixed schedule like a holiday, wedding, or photoshoot, "what bothers you most right now" is important. Conversely, if you want to manage elasticity even after the event, slightly different criteria are needed. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/2.png) What I feel in actual practice is one thing: rather than deciding which of the three devices is best, you should first decide when and what kind of change you desire. If you want immediate visible effects and don't want to miss out on elasticity changes over time, rather than entrusting all roles to one device... You can also consider methods that utilize different advantages. Conversely, if you choose a procedure without such distinctions, simply because "it's famous" or "a friend said it was good," the treatment direction might not align with the concerns you actually had. Therefore, today, after 17 years of performing lifting procedures, I want to talk about the criteria I use to plan treatments. If you take just 3 minutes to read this, you will understand how to compare the effects of Thermage, Titanium, and Ultherapy from different perspectives, and why, when considering the maintenance period, it's better to examine your current facial condition first rather than sticking to just one device. Thermage vs. Titanium vs. Ultherapy? Effects, Maintenance Period (Comprehensive Summary) -Written by a current dermatology clinic lead director --- > Table of Contents > > 1. Dermatological Lifting, > > If Immediate Effects Are Important? > > 2. If You Want to See 'Elasticity That Changes Over Time' > > 3. Conclusion --- ## 1. Dermatological Lifting, If Immediate Effects Are Important? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/3.png) It is often said that lifting procedures sometimes take time to show effects. However, not everyone is only thinking about changes several months later. If a wedding is scheduled for next month, or you're meeting family after a long time ahead of a holiday, or you have a photoshoot scheduled, the story changes. In such cases, how your current face line appears is also important. Here, there are two criteria to pay attention to: the changes that concern you most right now, and elasticity management that will continue over time. ## 1-1. If You Have an Important Event Coming Up? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/4.png) First, let's look at treatments often sought by those who want to see results quickly due to a schedule. Among the devices known as 'Titanium' in Korea, there is a diode laser platform that uses three wavelengths together: 755nm, 810nm, and 1064nm. The device is characterized by its structure, which uses different wavelengths simultaneously and delivers energy while cooling the skin surface. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/5.png) However, I do not recommend Titanium first for all faces just because an important event is approaching. For individuals with very little facial fat and prominent sunken cheeks, or those concerned about heaviness in the lower face, the treatment direction should not be the same. In particular, I do not prefer treating the entire face in the same way just based on a request like "make my face smaller." I need to first identify which area is a concern and what volume needs to be maintained. And there's an important point here: it's difficult to conclude that Titanium's three wavelengths alone can guarantee the same lifting changes or maintenance period for everyone. Therefore, if you have an important event coming up, rather than deciding based solely on the device name, it's better to first confirm if your current facial condition and treatment goals align. If you wish to manage skin elasticity beyond that, it would be good to also consider the characteristics of Thermage and Ultherapy, which I will discuss below. Thermage vs. Titanium vs. Ultherapy? Effects, Maintenance Period (Comprehensive Summary) -Written by a current dermatology clinic lead director --- ## 2. If You Want to See 'Elasticity That Changes Over Time' ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/6.png) When discussing lifting procedures like Thermage and Ultherapy, the word 'collagen' often comes up. While there can be individual differences in the changes felt immediately after the procedure, what I consider more important when looking at these devices is the subsequent tissue change process. Thermage FLX is a device that uses high-frequency radio waves to deliver thermal energy to the dermis, and through collagen contraction and regeneration, it is used to improve wrinkles around the eyes and on the face. Official materials also describe wrinkle improvement and collagen regeneration as its main features. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/7.jpg) On the other hand, Ultherapy (PRIME) is characterized by its ability to deliver energy to different depths while real-time monitoring of the tissue beneath the skin. Especially when it's necessary to confirm which skin layer to target for treatment, it allows for planning while directly viewing the underlying tissue. (Ultherapy PRIME is designed to target different depths, such as the dermis and SMAS layer, through transducers that use 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm depths.) ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/8.png) So, is Thermage better, or Ultherapy? I don't think this question is simply about choosing one over the other. The direction to consider can change depending on whether the primary concern is the elasticity and wrinkles of the skin itself, or if sagging of the facial line or jawline is more bothersome. And at this very point, there's no need to think that only one device is the answer. It's about dividing the concerns into parts that bother you on your current face line and parts that bother you regarding skin elasticity and wrinkles. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/9.png) I explain this from the perspective of a 'complex treatment approach.' Considering treatments with different characteristics together does not necessarily mean you must receive multiple devices simultaneously. For example, if you have different concerns on your current face, such as skin elasticity and facial lines, you can examine what role each device can play separately. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/10.png) Conversely, if you have other skin concerns such as skin texture, dryness, or fine wrinkles in addition to your face line, you can also separately check if a different type of treatment is needed. In other words, rather than assuming that one device can solve all different concerns like face line, skin elasticity, and skin texture... It can be described as a method of distinguishing the roles of each treatment. However, this does not mean that the more treatments you combine (two, three, etc.), the longer the maintenance period will be. On the contrary, adding unnecessary treatments can only increase cost and skin burden. Therefore, I do not determine the number of treatments first. After checking skin thickness, facial fat distribution, the location where sagging began, and the presence of hollowness, I plan by dividing which areas to manage first. If one device is sufficient, I do not necessarily recommend multiple treatments, and if there are different concerns, I review whether other methods are needed. The maintenance period also cannot be viewed as a single number, such as "this treatment lasts for X months." This is because the speed of aging, skin condition, treatment intensity, and treatment area differ. Therefore, if you have an important event coming up, rather than simply asking, "Which one lasts the longest?", it is much more realistic to hear a plan on how to divide the immediate necessary changes from the subsequent elasticity management. ^^ ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/11.png) The question we ponder at least once when managing our faces, "Should I get Thermage, Titanium, or Ultherapy?" In my opinion, there is no single answer to this question. Ultimately, what's important is not the device name, but the process of identifying what bothers you most on your face and what role each treatment can play. If you have an important event, consider the remaining time and your current facial condition together. If you want to continue elasticity management beyond that, you can examine the characteristics of each device separately. So, when looking into lifting, rather than simply choosing the most famous device... I hope you first look to see if the medical staff explains why they are considering this treatment, and what treatments you don't necessarily need. Thermage vs. Titanium vs. Ultherapy? Effects, Maintenance Period (Comprehensive Summary) -Written by a current dermatology clinic lead director --- ## 3. Conclusion ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224418876010/12.jpg) This concludes the content I prepared today. Thermage, Ultherapy, and Titanium use different energy sources and have different device characteristics. Therefore, rather than simply comparing which device is better or lasts longer... I hope you first identify what concerns you about your current face before deciding on the treatment direction. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, lead director of O.N Clinic. Thank you. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### My wedding is coming up soon; is it okay to get the treatment now? The choice of treatment can vary depending on the time remaining until the event, your current skin condition, and the desired changes. For closer dates, it's advisable to plan considering the recovery process, including swelling, after the treatment. ### I have very little facial fat; if I combine several lifting treatments, won't it cause hollowing? If you have little facial fat, rather than simply increasing the number of treatments, you should first determine which areas need volume maintenance. It's advisable to distinguish between areas with hollowness and areas where sagging is a concern. ### My skin is thin, but my jawline feels very saggy. Is one treatment enough? The possibility depends on skin thickness and the depth of sagging. In some cases, one device may be sufficient, and if there are different concerns, other treatment directions may be reviewed. ### I want to improve my skin texture along with lifting; is that possible? Facial contour and skin texture can have different treatment goals. If you have concerns about both face line management and skin condition, rather than entrusting all roles to one treatment, it's advisable to consider what methods can be used for each. > *Notice > > Energy-based lifting procedures may vary in suitable type and treatment method depending on an individual's skin thickness, fat distribution, degree of sagging, and facial structure. > > After the procedure, temporary reactions such as redness, heat, tenderness, and swelling may occur depending on the individual. > > The method of performing multiple procedures together is also not necessary for everyone, and it cannot be concluded that the effect or maintenance period increases proportionally with the number of procedures. **Recommended Articles** - [Thermage 300 Shots Before and After, When Do Effects Appear?](https://blog.naver.com/on-clinic/224398591784) - [Best Ultherapy in Gangnam?

HILO WAVE review: Why did I feel the maintenance period was short? | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

HILO WAVE review: Why did I feel the maintenance period was short? | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide "At first, my nasolabial folds seemed to lighten, but they felt like they returned surprisingly quickly." "HILO WAVE reviews seemed good, so why does the duration feel short for me?" If you're reading this, you're probably looking into HILO WAVE for nasolabial folds or sunken cheeks (front/side)... Or you may have already had the procedure, but are searching because you're disappointed with the duration. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead 원장 of O.N Clinic in Gangnam. To those with the concerns mentioned above, there's one thing I want to tell you first. Just because the duration of HILO WAVE felt short doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with the product itself. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/2.png) 'Sunken-looking wrinkles' like nasolabial folds aren't simply caused by one empty space; various factors such as cheek volume, the position of surrounding tissues, and facial bone structure can all play a role. Even if they appear similar on the surface, the factors that have a greater impact can differ from person to person. So today, for those who have been looking for HILO WAVE reviews and wondering about its duration, I'd like to tell you what to check before the procedure, rather than just focusing on the 'number of months'. Even a quick 3-minute read can help you determine if your current concerns align with the purpose of the procedure. ^^ HILO WAVE reviews: Why did I feel the duration was short? --- > Contents > > 1. Why does the HILO WAVE duration > > feel short? > > 2. HILO WAVE duration, > > what should you check? > > 3. Conclusion --- ## 1. Why does the HILO WAVE duration feel short? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/3.png) First, let me tell you what HILO WAVE is. HILO WAVE is a medical device primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, approved for the temporary improvement of sunken-looking areas such as nasolabial folds and the front of the cheeks. (Therefore, when considering the procedure, it's necessary to not only check the duration but also to see if your current concerns align with the product's intended use.) So why do some people feel that the duration after the procedure is shorter than expected? There are two main reasons to consider. First, the cause of the 'hollowness' may not have been simply a lack of volume in the first place. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/4.jpg) Let's take nasolabial folds as an example. Even if the nasolabial lines appear deep, it can be difficult to explain the influencing factors with just one reason. Changes in surrounding volume, such as the front or side of the cheeks, or the position of soft tissues and facial bone structure, can also play a role. In such faces, even if they initially feel smoother, if the structural cause that originally created the nasolabial folds remains, the lines may become more prominent again over time. In other words, it's possible that the problem was difficult to solve with just one procedure from the beginning, rather than the effect disappearing quickly. Second, the treatment area and the required injection amount may not have been appropriate for the face. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/5.png) If there was a lack of volume in multiple areas such as the front cheeks, side cheeks, and nasolabial folds... checking only one area VS checking the structure of the soft tissues together can lead to different treatment plans. Conversely, I cannot say that using a large amount unconditionally is appropriate simply because you want it to last longer. What's important is not to determine the amount used based on 'duration', but to check the current facial condition, the area to be treated, and the purpose of use together. That's why, during consultations, I tend to think it's better to ask, "Why do my nasolabial folds look deep?" rather than, "How many months does it last?" ^^; So, what should you check to reduce disappointment with the duration? HILO WAVE reviews: Why did I feel the duration was short? --- ## 2. HILO WAVE duration, what should you check? The method is not as complicated as you might think. When looking at HILO WAVE reviews, rather than just reading "it lasted a long time" or "it returned quickly," you should also consider what concerns the person had before the procedure. At this point, I recommend checking two things. Check 1. Do they look beyond just the 'wrinkle' and check the surrounding areas? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/6.png) Nasolabial folds can often be difficult to view as just a single line. The cause of nasolabial folds can vary depending on the volume of the front cheeks, whether the side cheeks below the cheekbones are sunken, and the structure of the surrounding face. Therefore, if nasolabial folds are a concern, I do not decide on the procedure by simply looking at the line of that area. I tend to look at the face from the front and side together to identify which factors are influencing the current nasolabial folds. If the face lacks support in the front cheeks more than the nasolabial folds themselves, the injection site may differ, and if volume is already sufficient but sagging is a bigger problem, it might be better to consider other procedures. Ultimately, what's important is not how much the nasolabial folds are filled, but first understanding what structure makes that line appear deep. Check 2. Do they recommend 'a large injection amount' to increase the duration? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/7.png) In procedures that fill nasolabial folds or sunken side/front cheeks, it's easy to think that the more volume injected, the longer the duration will be. However, a face doesn't necessarily look natural just by filling it a lot. Especially around the nasolabial folds, it's an area that constantly moves with expressions and is connected to surrounding structures from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. If only one area is overfilled, the mouth area might look unnatural, or it might create a feeling that doesn't match the original face. Therefore, when designing a HILO WAVE procedure, I don't just look at the depth of the nasolabial folds. After checking the skin thickness, the volume of the front and side cheeks, the connection between the cheekbones and the mouth, and the overall facial contour, I determine the treatment direction by dividing it into only the necessary areas. And if I see that sagging or other problems are greater than the need for volume supplementation, I do not recommend adding HILO WAVE injection volume. If you're concerned about the duration... rather than asking, "How many cc should I inject for it to last long?", it's more helpful to hear a detailed explanation about the cause of your nasolabial folds. Ultimately, satisfaction with the duration is not determined by the product alone, but by whether it accurately performs the necessary role for your face. ^^ HILO WAVE reviews: Why did I feel the duration was short? --- ## 3. Conclusion ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224416201603/r2/8.jpg) This concludes the content I prepared for today. If you've been searching for HILO WAVE reviews and thought, "Why did mine return faster than others?", I hope you don't focus solely on the duration. Even if they appear to be the same nasolabial folds, the cause can differ for each individual. If you're concerned about both nasolabial folds and sunken front/side cheeks, please first check which area's volume needs to be supplemented for a natural look. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, lead 원장 of O.N Clinic, from the consultation room. Thank you. ^^ --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### It seemed to fill up at first, but it quickly looks sunken again. Is the duration really that short? It's difficult to conclude that the product has completely disappeared just because the visible changes have diminished. You might feel that way as the initial swelling or changes in hydration subside, or the structural cause that originally created the hollowness might become prominent again. ### If my nasolabial folds are deep, will injecting more HILO WAVE last longer? Not necessarily. The required amount and location can vary depending on whether the reason for the deep appearance is a lack of volume or a change in the position of surrounding tissues. ### My front cheeks are also sunken, is it okay to only fill the nasolabial folds? For faces where the front cheeks and nasolabial folds appear connected, it's better to check the surrounding volume together rather than just focusing on the nasolabial folds. Which area is actually lacking can vary depending on the facial structure. ### I don't have much facial fat, can it be filled naturally? For individuals with less facial fat, it's important to examine the existing bone structure and volume flow rather than simply injecting a large amount. Supplementing only the necessary areas in a limited way may be more appropriate. > *Notice > > The application range and injection method of HILO WAVE may vary depending on the individual's skin condition and facial structure. > > After the injection procedure, temporary reactions such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur depending on the individual. > > Before the procedure, please thoroughly discuss with your medical professional what causes your current hollowness and wrinkles to be prominent, and then decide on the appropriate treatment area and method. **Recommended Articles** - [Peanut-shaped face filler review, worried about side effects?

Thermage FLX no effect? 2 things more important than price in reviews | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide "Most people who received Thermage FLX were satisfied, but why don't I notice much of a difference?" "It's the same Thermage FLX, but is the effect also different according to the price difference?" If you look for Thermage FLX reviews, even for the same procedure, the stories can be quite different. Some people say their elasticity has improved, while others express disappointment, saying they don't notice as much as they expected. It's difficult to attribute this difference solely to equipment or price issues. This is because facial aging is not just a change that appears in the skin. Changes appear in multiple layers, from the skin, fat, muscles and fascia, to the bone structure, and the degree and speed of these changes also vary from person to person. My introduction is a little late. ^^; ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224415035066/1.png) I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, the lead director, who has been performing lifting procedures for 17 years. Today, for those who are concerned about Thermage FLX not being effective, I will tell you about 2 criteria that I hope you will check before price when looking for reviews. Please read carefully for 2 minutes. You will be able to understand what you need to check on your face before a Thermage FLX procedure. ^^ Thermage FLX not effective? 2 important things to check in reviews, more than price (Revealed) --- > Table of Contents > > 1.

If Thermage FLX is not effective, is it because of '00'? ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224415035066/2.png) Thermage FLX is a medical device that uses 6.78MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF). It is a general-purpose electrosurgical device used for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles around the eyes and on the face by coagulating tissue using radiofrequency current. It uses a method where thermal action occurs as radiofrequency energy is delivered to the internal tissues of the skin. However, there is one point to consider here. "My face is sagging, so shouldn't I just get Thermage FLX?" Not necessarily. Changes felt in the face are not just a problem of the skin alone... atrophy or redistribution of fat, changes in muscles and soft tissues, and even bone remodeling can all have an impact. For example... a face with deeper nasolabial folds or marionette lines due to reduced volume, or a face with sagging due to decreased skin elasticity itself, can all be perceived as 'sagging' in the mirror. However, what factors are actually having a greater impact may differ. If you apply a procedure that was effective for someone else directly to your face without distinguishing these differences, there may be a discrepancy between the area you were concerned about and the intended purpose of that procedure. That's why, even when considering Thermage FLX, I first check "Why does it look saggy?" After distinguishing whether skin elasticity, volume changes, or deeper structures are largely involved, I then decide whether to apply the Thermage FLX procedure. If you have experienced Thermage FLX not being effective, rather than concluding that it's a problem with the device itself... it's also necessary to check whether the initial cause of concern and the purpose of the procedure were aligned. So, what should you check in Thermage FLX procedure reviews? Rather than simply looking at other people's procedure results, I recommend checking the following 2 things. Thermage FLX not effective? 2 important things to check in reviews, more than price (Revealed) --- ## 2. Thermage FLX reviews, just check these 2 things. ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224415035066/3.png) The first is 'how the pre-procedure facial condition is checked'. If a review only states "received 300 shots" or "the price was X amount," without explaining the skin condition, it's difficult to apply those results directly to your face. This is because skin thickness, elasticity, fat distribution, and the degree of volume loss can vary from person to person. Therefore, rather than just comparing prices or shot counts, I hope you will observe what criteria are used to assess the current facial condition during the consultation process. The second is 'whether your current concerns align with the purpose of the Thermage FLX procedure'. Thermage FLX is a medical device used for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles around the eyes and on the face by coagulating tissue using radiofrequency current. Therefore, it would be unreasonable to assume that other causes, such as reduced volume or changes in bone structure, can all be treated in the same way. If the main concern is prominent volume loss or certain areas of the face appearing sunken, other procedures in addition to Thermage FLX may need to be considered. Conversely, if your current concerns align with the scope of Thermage FLX, it's not necessarily true that multiple procedures must be performed all at once. In such cases, I avoid deciding on multiple procedures from the outset. First... I check the skin thickness, elasticity, facial fat distribution, and contours, then decide where and how to apply Thermage FLX. If other factors are significant, I also determine if separate procedures are needed. This is because it's important to differentiate the role each procedure should play, rather than simply adding many procedures. So, before the procedure, it's also good to ask, "Can you explain which parts of my face can be addressed with Thermage FLX and which cannot?" Ultimately, what you should look for in reviews is not the price list, but 'what kind of face received that procedure and why'. Even if a review is from someone with similar concerns, their facial structure may not be identical to yours. Rather than simply following procedures that others found effective, I hope that checking which layer of your face the changes began in becomes the starting point for choosing a procedure.

Concluding remarks ![image](https://agqdgbuateknhwpocrgu.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/on-clinic/blog/224415035066/4.jpg) This concludes the content I prepared for today. When looking at Thermage FLX reviews, it's natural to start by comparing prices or shot counts. However, even if sagging appears similar on the surface, different factors may be influencing it in the actual face. Therefore, I believe that before a Thermage FLX procedure, the process of confirming whether the current facial condition aligns with the scope of Thermage FLX is important. Rather than using reviews themselves as the sole criterion for choosing a procedure... during the consultation, listen carefully to how your current facial condition is assessed, and for what purpose and to which areas Thermage FLX will be applied. Checking just those two things can help you establish much more realistic criteria than simply comparing prices. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, lead director of O.N Clinic. Thank you very much for reading to the end. ^^ --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### My face seems to be sagging, but I don't know if it's a skin issue or due to weight loss. It is difficult to distinguish the cause solely from sagging visible in the mirror. It is advisable to determine the treatment direction after checking whether it is due to decreased skin elasticity or if there are accompanying changes in fat or volume. ### Should I avoid radiofrequency procedures if I have little facial fat? The decision to perform a procedure is not solely determined by having little facial fat. However, it is important to define the scope of the procedure by distinguishing between areas that are already sunken and areas where elasticity has actually decreased. ### I received the same Thermage FLX as my friend, but why don't I notice much of a difference? Even with the same procedure, the perceived changes can differ if skin thickness, fat distribution, facial structure, and the primary cause of aging vary. It is better to check your own facial condition first rather than using someone else's results as a standard. ### I'm only concerned about my jawline, do I need to treat my entire face? Not necessarily. The treatment area can be designed differently depending on the area of concern and skin condition, so it is best to identify the necessary areas first. > *Notice > > Radiofrequency-based procedures, including Thermage FLX, may have different application methods and expected changes depending on an individual's skin condition and facial structure. > > Temporary reactions such as redness, swelling, heat, and tenderness may occur after the procedure, and there may be individual differences. > > Please consult sufficiently with medical staff before the procedure to confirm if it is suitable for your skin condition and the cause of aging. **Recommended Articles** - [Gangnam Ultherapy (Thermage FLX) expert?
