Skin sagging that gets worse in summer

Many women in their early 30s, who are increasingly concerned about their skin, complain that their skin feels particularly saggy during the summer. The concern is that the skin around the eyebrows or jawline sags more than the skin around the eyes, blurring the facial line and making their expression look bloated or dull.

"It's subtle, but my pores seem larger than before,

and my fine lines have increased significantly."

These changes are not just in your head.

As you enter your 30s, the internal support structure of the skin begins to weaken, and when external environmental factors are added, the speed of aging accelerates uncontrollably.

The intense heat and UV rays of summer act as a trigger, pushing your elasticity past the tipping point. Seongsu Sio Clinic will explain in great detail whether the ultrasound lifting recommended by those around you is truly effective and what you should pay attention to during the procedure.

The reality of 'heat aging,' which is scarier than UV rays

Summer, when the sun gets stronger, is the time

when the clock of skin aging

ticks the fastest.

Intense UV rays create blemishes like

melasma and freckles and deepen wrinkles,

but what we should be more careful about is 'heat aging'.

Destruction of elastic cells

When body temperature rises due to sweltering heat, our skin increases sweat and sebum secretion, which causes pores to expand.

However, this is only a superficial problem.

The truly serious phenomenon is that core elastic cells such as collagen and elastin in the skin are denatured and collapsed by heat, causing the firm skin support layer to sag helplessly.

Also, because heat aging occurs as body temperature itself rises, it can be more vulnerable depending on an individual's constitution or living environment. If you feel sagging yourself, you must recognize that your overall elasticity has already fallen below the critical point. It is the result of the 'elastic pillars' inside the skin becoming loose.

Skin remodeling,

the scientific principle of Ultherapy

A representative medical beauty procedure recommended to revive elasticity collapsed by heat aging is ultrasound lifting such as Ultherapy.

This is a sophisticated procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy, a type of 'skin remodeling' process.

It targets the dermis layer, which accounts for 70% of the skin and has the most collagen, and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) to form very fine thermal coagulation points. Energy is delivered to deep layers that were previously only accessible through surgery.

Hapjeong Lifting, Sio Clinic,

capable of self-collagen regeneration

Instead of injecting external substances to create artificial volume, ultrasound energy stimulates cells to promote the self-production of collagen. It is a principle where your own skin creates the energy to become younger.

If Ultherapy is performed on the entire face targeting shallow skin layers, you can expect not only improved elasticity but also pore reduction, fine line relief, skin texture improvement, and even acne scar improvement. It is redesigning the overall condition of the skin.

Lifting strategy by age

Management starting in your 20s

Skin aging begins in the mid-to-late 20s. Ultrasound lifting, which was once considered the exclusive property of the middle-aged, is recently trending toward a younger age group, even into the 20s.

Hapjeong Sio Clinic accurately understands the differences in procedure goals according to age and makes sophisticated suggestions.

In addition, we focus on improving facial shape along with preventive measures for aging. We focus on organizing unnecessary fat lines and creating a three-dimensional and

slim line to lay the foundation for

'well-aging'.

The reason Sio Clinic chose Ultherapy,

lies in its unparalleled precision and safety.

· FDA approval and safety: Ultherapy is the only ultrasound lifting device to receive US FDA approval, clinically proving its safety and effectiveness perfectly. It shows excellent effects, especially in improving jawline sagging and alleviating double chins.

· Real-time imaging device (DeepSee): Medical staff perform the procedure while directly checking the skin layers through ultrasound. Since everyone's skin thickness and the location of the fascia layer are different, the technology of performing the procedure while watching is a core technology unique to Ultherapy that guarantees precise targeting and safety at the same time.

· 3 types of transducers (tips): By using three types of tips according to skin depth, such as 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm, energy is delivered consistently and uniformly to collagen-dense areas. Through this, we can maximize natural beauty while preserving the customer's inherent individuality.

Sio Clinic's procedure principles that increase satisfaction

Seongsu Sio Clinic adheres to the basic principles of medical aesthetics:

genuine products, correct shot counts, and correct dosages.

On average, we recommend a procedure of 600 shots or more for the entire face. Since satisfaction can decrease if energy is insufficient, we adhere to honest shot counts for optimal results. For middle-aged patients, the range is sometimes extended to the neck and chest line.

The effect of Ultherapy can appear as immediate tightening, but considering the collagen regeneration mechanism, it is best to receive the procedure at least one month before an important day for maximized results.
