Why is personalized consultation necessary?

When choosing a lifting procedure,

most people first look for information

primarily focused on treatment costs, such as ‘Shurink shot cost’ or ‘Oligio price’.

However, it is difficult to determine the effectiveness of a lifting procedure based solely on the number of shots or the type of equipment.

This is because each person's face shape and aging patterns are unique.

The causes of facial sagging vary from person to person

Some individuals experience sagging due to reduced elasticity in the cheek area,

while others may notice a blurred jawline.

Occasionally, the areas around the eyes or below the cheekbones may appear sunken, giving a tired look.

These changes are not merely due to skin elasticity issues but are a complex phenomenon resulting from the influence of

the dermis, fat layer, and fascial (SMAS) layer within the skin,

and even the underlying facial bone structure.

Therefore, even with the same lifting procedure, a personalized treatment design is crucial.

Let's explain with specific examples.

If you are concerned about a blurred jawline and double chin,

this may be primarily associated with the weakening of the SMAS layer, a deep supporting structure of the skin, rather than the epidermis.

In such cases, delivering energy to the deep layers of the skin through

ultrasound lifting (e.g., Shurink, Ulthera) can be beneficial.

If the area below the cheekbones appears sunken and the entire face looks saggy,

this could be due to reduced skin elasticity causing the fat layer to shift downwards.

Thread lifting or radiofrequency lifting that stimulates the dermis (e.g., InMode, Forma) may be suitable.

If your entire face looks swollen and your facial contours are not distinct,

this may be related to edema or lymphatic circulation issues.

In this case, treatments focused on fat layer management and improving lymphatic circulation, such as Onda lifting, can be helpful.

If you have many fine lines around your eyes or drooping eyebrows,

as this is an area with thin skin, a delicate lifting approach rather than strong stimulation is required.

A Shurink tip with a depth of 1.5mm or radiofrequency lifting procedures like Oligio may be considered.

Precise treatment area and method are more important than just the number of shots

Even if you receive the same Shurink 300-shot treatment,

some individuals may experience satisfactory changes,

while others may not feel the expected level of change.

There is a clear reason for these differences.

This is because the results vary depending on which area was treated, and with what depth and energy intensity.

Lifting procedures go beyond simple equipment operation,

requiring expertise to thoroughly understand an individual's face and create an optimal treatment plan.

Therefore, at Ggeuthan Clinic, we start with precise design before treatment.

At Ggeuthan Clinic, we consider lifting to be more than just a procedural act.

We prioritize precisely analyzing each patient's facial structure first,

to identify which skin layer is the root cause of their current concerns.

We meticulously plan the appropriate equipment, treatment method, number of shots needed, and treatment depth according to each individual's condition.

Thanks to this customized approach, even for the same Shurink treatment, 200 shots might be sufficient for some individuals.

On the other hand, others might require 400 shots.

Or, thread lifting might be a more suitable choice than Shurink.

Each person's face has unique characteristics.

Therefore, personalized design is also crucial for lifting treatments.

From the medical staff's perspective, it might be easier to simply explain, 'We use this equipment for X shots.'

However, from the patient's perspective,

we believe it's more important to know what your facial concerns are and how to find solutions.

Lifting is not simply determined by 'X shots,' but rather,

it starts with a treatment plan that meticulously analyzes each client's facial characteristics.

At our medical institution, rather than focusing on the treatment name itself,

we establish a lifting plan based on each individual patient's facial condition.

It's also a good idea to simply receive a consultation.

What your current facial condition is and in what direction improvements can be expected,

we will discuss with you in depth.
