Skin sagging, uniquely worsened in summer

Many women in their early 30s, concerned about their skin, complain of their skin feeling looser during the summer. Beyond crow's feet, sagging skin around the eyebrows and jawline makes the facial contour appear less defined, leading to concerns about looking chubby or dull.

"My pores seem to have gotten a little wider,

and I feel like I have more fine lines too."

​

These changes are not just your imagination.

​

In our 30s, the skin's internal support structure begins to weaken. When external environmental factors are added, the aging process accelerates uncontrollably.

​

The intense heat and UV rays of summer act as triggers, pushing elasticity past its tipping point. SIO Clinic in Seongsu explains in detail whether recommended ultrasound lifting treatments are truly effective and what to consider during the procedure.

The Reality of 'Heat Aging,' More Dangerous Than UV Rays

Summer, with its intense sun, is when the skin's aging clock

ticks the fastest.

​

Intense UV rays cause blemishes like melasma and freckles

and deepen wrinkles, but

what we need to be more cautious of is 'heat aging.'

Destruction of Elasticity Cells

When body temperature rises due to the heat, our skin increases sweat and sebum production, leading to enlarged pores.

​

However, this is only a superficial problem.

​

The truly serious phenomenon is the denaturation and breakdown of key elasticity cells like collagen and elastin in the skin due to heat, causing the firm skin support layer to sag limply.

​

​

Furthermore, heat aging occurs as body temperature rises, making individuals more vulnerable depending on their constitution or living environment. If you feel sagging, you must recognize that your overall elasticity has already fallen below the critical point. This is the result of the 'elasticity pillars' within your skin becoming loose.

​

Skin Remodeling,

The Scientific Principle of Ultherapy

Ultrasound lifting treatments like Ultherapy are recommended to restore elasticity lost due to heat aging.

​

This is a precise procedure using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy, a form of 'skin remodeling.'

​

It targets the dermis, which constitutes 70% of the skin and has the highest collagen concentration, and the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), creating very fine thermal coagulation points. The energy is delivered to deep layers that were previously only accessible through surgery.

​

Stimulating Autologous Collagen Production,

Instead of artificially creating volume by injecting foreign substances, ultrasound energy stimulates cells to promote the generation of collagen. This is the principle of your own skin creating the energy to become younger.

​

​

When Ultherapy targets the superficial skin layers and is applied to the entire face, you can expect improved elasticity, pore reduction, fine line softening, skin texture improvement, and even improvement of acne scars. It's about redesigning the overall condition of your skin.

Lifting Strategies by Age Group

Management Starting from the 20s

​

Skin aging begins in the late 20s. Ultrasound lifting, once considered a procedure for middle-aged and older individuals, is now being sought by people in their 20s.

Hapjeong SIO Clinic accurately understands the differences in treatment goals based on age and provides precise recommendations.

​

Furthermore, in addition to preventive anti-aging, we focus on improving facial contours. We concentrate on refining unnecessary fat lines and creating a three-dimensional, slim contour,

laying the foundation for 'well-aging.'

​

Why SIO Clinic Chose Ultherapy:

Its unparalleled precision and safety.

· FDA Approval and Safety: Ultherapy is the only ultrasound lifting device with FDA approval, demonstrating complete clinical safety and efficacy. It shows particularly excellent results in improving jawline sagging and reducing double chins.

​

· Real-time Imaging (DeepSee): The medical team performs the procedure while visually confirming the skin layers through ultrasound. Since everyone's skin thickness and SMAS location are different, the ability to perform the procedure while seeing directly is Ultherapy's core technology, ensuring both precise targeting and safety.

​

· 3 Types of Transducers (Tips): Using three types of tips—1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm—corresponding to skin depth, energy is delivered consistently and uniformly to collagen-rich areas. This maximizes natural beauty while preserving the client's unique features.

SIO Clinic's Treatment Principles for High Satisfaction

Seongsu SIO Clinic adheres to the fundamental principles of medical aesthetics:

Genuine products, genuine shots, and genuine dosage.

​

​

On average, over 600 shots are recommended for the entire face. Insufficient energy can lead to lower satisfaction, so we adhere to the honest number of shots for optimal results. For middle-aged and older clients, the treatment area may be extended to the neck and décolletage.

​

While Ultherapy's effects can be seen as immediate tightening, considering the collagen regeneration process, it is best to receive the treatment at least one month before an important event for maximized results.

Does your face feel heavier today than yesterday?

​

If the sagging jawline in the mirror and enlarged pores that have lost their vitality are obscuring your radiance,

it's time to awaken your hidden density.

​

Ultherapy at Seongsu SIO Clinic is not just a procedure.

It's a way to meticulously redesign the flow of elasticity

starting from deep within your skin.

​

Begin your astonishing experience of

time flowing backward,

where sophisticated aesthetics meet SIO Clinic's precise

medical techniques.
