<p>As life expectancy increases and the desire for a youthful appearance continues to grow, awareness of and approaches to skin aging have begun to change. As we enter what is commonly referred to as the age of living to 100, more and more people wish to stay healthy, look younger for even just one more day, and remain beautiful as they age — leading to a growing interest in skin care and anti-aging.</p>
<p>The foundation of skin care can be said to be maintaining healthy beauty and preserving the elasticity of one's youth. The wisest approach to achieving this is to begin making efforts to maintain skin elasticity and texture around the time aging starts to progress in earnest.</p>
<p>Therefore, it is important to take an interest in and practice regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and healthy dietary habits. And when skin aging becomes visibly apparent — with collagen decreasing and fine lines gradually increasing — it is wise not to feel stressed, but rather to seek help from various anti-aging care options or anti-aging programs.</p>
<p>There are many types and methods of anti-aging procedures that help turn back the skin's age, but when considering both safety and efficacy, Ulthera Lifting and Thermage FLX can be recommended. Ulthera Lifting uses ultrasound to directly stimulate the SMAS layer, delivering an excellent lifting effect by tightening and lifting the skin, and is effective in improving jowls and double chin areas by breaking down sagging and loose fatty tissue that has developed with aging. Thermage uses radiofrequency to generate heat, stimulating stem cells to induce collagen production, making it effective for improving skin elasticity.</p>
<p>It is the Ulthermage procedure that combines the advantages of these two treatments to bring about dramatic changes. By using Ulthera to reduce and lift deep within the skin of the sagging jawline while simultaneously tightening the entire facial skin surface with Thermage, it becomes possible to address complex skin aging and a wide variety of skin concerns.</p>"
Of course, there are aspects that require caution. Although Ulthera and Thermage share the common feature of being lifting procedures, they differ in their effects and applicable treatment areas, so it is safer to consult and receive a diagnosis from a dermatologist with extensive anatomical knowledge before proceeding. Compared to Shurink and Oligio, which were developed in imitation of these original devices, the advantage of the originals lies in their validation through numerous clinical cases accumulated over many years.
Furthermore, even though these are non-surgical procedures, there are many factors to consider — including each individual's current skin condition, degree of aging, and direction of wrinkles — and it is advisable to receive treatment from medical staff with extensive procedural experience who can precisely adjust energy intensity and handpiece pressure on a customized basis, in order to prevent in advance such issues as burning sensations, heat, pain, swelling, blisters, or erythema. <Dr. Ryu Hyo-seop, Director, Well Dermatology Clinic Apgujeong Main Branch>
