Why is consultation important?

When choosing a dermatological lifting procedure,

many people first look for information such as

'Shurink 300 shots price' or 'Olligio shot count cost'.

However, lifting is a complex procedure that cannot be determined solely by equipment name or shot count.

This is because each individual has different facial anatomical structures and patterns of aging.

The causes of facial sagging vary from person to person.

Some people experience sagging in the cheek area,

while others may experience changes such as a blurred jawline.

In some cases, the area around the eyes or below the cheekbones may appear sunken, leading to comments about looking tired.

These phenomena are not solely due to decreased skin elasticity,

but are complex processes involving the dermis, fat layer, and fascia (SMAS) beneath the skin,

and even subtle changes in the facial bones.

Therefore, even the same lifting procedure must be 'designed' to suit each patient's individual face.

Let's explain with a few examples.

If your jawline is blurred and a double chin appears,

this may be related to the weakening of the SMAS layer, which is the supportive layer beneath the skin, rather than just a superficial skin issue.

In such situations, ultrasound lifting (e.g., Shurink, Ulthera), which can deliver energy to the deep layers of the skin,

can help with improvement.

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

it is often due to decreased internal skin elasticity, causing the fat layer to shift downwards.

In this case, thread lifting or radiofrequency lifting (e.g., InMode, Forma) that induces collagen production in the dermal layer can be considered.

If your face appears generally swollen and your contours feel indistinct,

this may be related to edema or impaired lymphatic circulation.

In such cases, lifting procedures focused on fat layer improvement and lymphatic circulation promotion, such as Onda lifting, can be beneficial.

If you are concerned about fine lines around the eyes or sagging eyebrows,

as the skin layer is thin and delicate in this area, a precise approach rather than excessive stimulation is important.

In this case, a shallow Shurink tip with a depth of 1.5mm or lifting using radiofrequency energy like Olligio can be helpful.

It is more important 'where and how' the procedure is performed than simply 'how many shots'.

For example, even with the same Shurink 300-shot procedure,

some people experience satisfactory changes,

while others may not feel the expected level of change.

The reasons are as follows:

This is because the results vary depending on the area where energy is delivered, the depth of the procedure, and the applied energy intensity.

Lifting procedures go beyond simply using equipment to deliver energy;

they require a delicate process of accurately understanding each patient's facial structure and 'designing' a customized treatment plan.

Therefore, at Ggeuthan Clinic, we first conduct a 'design' before the procedure.

At Ggeuthan Clinic, we do not consider lifting procedures to be simple processes;

instead, after meticulously analyzing the patient's facial structure,

we accurately identify which anatomical layer is causing the current skin concerns.

We carefully plan the appropriate equipment, treatment method, necessary shot count, and treatment depth according to the patient's condition.

Therefore, even for the same Shurink procedure, 200 shots may be sufficient for some individuals,

while others may require 400 shots.

Sometimes, thread lifting might be a more suitable option than Shurink.

No two faces are alike.

This is why personalized design is crucial for lifting procedures as well.

For medical staff, it might be simpler to just say, 'Use this device for X shots.'

However, for the patient,

understanding their facial concerns and how they can be improved is more important.

A lifting procedure is not simply about applying a fixed number of shots,

but begins with a thorough analysis of each individual's facial features and creating a plan tailored to them.

At our clinic, rather than being fixated on a specific procedure name,

we develop a customized lifting plan based on the patient's facial condition.

Feel free to just have a comfortable consultation.

What your current facial condition is, and in what ways improvement can be expected,

we will seriously examine with our medical team.
