Why is consultation necessary? When choosing a dermatological lifting procedure, many people first look at information like “Shrink 300 shots for how much” or “Oligio how many shots for how much.” However, lifting is not a procedure that can simply be decided by the number of shots or the name of the device. This is because everyone has a different facial structure and different areas where aging begins. “The reasons for sagging vary from person to person.” Some people notice their cheek fat sagging, while others feel their jawline has collapsed. Some are told they look tired because their eye area or under the cheekbones have sunken. These changes are not simply due to ‘skin elasticity’ but are complex phenomena that occur as the dermis, fat layer, fascia (SMAS), and even the facial bones beneath the skin change together. Therefore, even for the same lifting procedure, the ‘design’ must be different for each person. Let's take an example: If your jawline is collapsing and you have a double chin? → This indicates a weakening of the supporting structure (SMAS layer) rather than just a superficial skin issue. In such cases, ultrasonic lifting (e.g., Shrink, Ulthera) that can reach deeper layers is effective. If the area under your cheekbones is sunken and your face looks saggy? → This often happens when the skin's internal elasticity weakens, causing fat to descend. Thread lifting or high-frequency lifting that stimulates the dermis layer (e.g., InMode, Forma) may be suitable. If your face is generally swollen and your contours are not clear? → This is likely a problem with swelling and lymphatic circulation. In this case, lifting like Onda, which improves the fat layer and lymphatic circulation, is needed. For fine lines around the eyes or drooping eyebrows? → This area has thin skin, so precise lifting is more important than strong stimulation. A 1.5mm shallow Shrink tip or high-frequency lifting like Oligio can be helpful. “Where and how” is more important than “how many shots.” Even with the same Shrink 300 shots, some people see significant effects, while others feel no difference. The reason is simple: it depends on where, at what depth, and with what energy the shots were applied. A lifting procedure is not just about operating a machine; it requires the ‘skill to understand and design the face.’ That's why Kkeut Oriental Clinic “starts with design” before the procedure. At Kkeut Oriental Clinic, we do not view lifting procedures simply as ‘procedures.’ We first structurally analyze the patient's face, identify which layer the current concern originates from, and then precisely design the appropriate device, procedure method, number of shots, and treatment depth. As a result, for the same Shrink, 200 shots might be enough for some, while others might need 400 shots. For some, thread lifting might be a better choice than Shrink. Your face is not a factory, so lifting also requires ‘customized design.’ From a medical professional's perspective, it might be easier to say, "use this machine for X shots." But from the patient's perspective, it's more important to know what problems exist in their face and how they can be resolved. Lifting is not about ‘how many shots’ but starts with a design that understands the language of your face. Kkeut Oriental Clinic performs lifting based on your face, not just the procedure name. It's okay to just get a consultation. We will discuss together what state your face is in and in what direction it can recover.
