Seongsu-dong Therf, why you need to
awaken deep skin elasticity with Therf Lifting
Hello, this is Sio Clinic.
April is a month with extreme temperature fluctuations. While the days are warm, cold winds still blow in the mornings and evenings. Just as our body's immunity drops during these seasonal transitions, our skin condition also deteriorates rapidly.
When meeting patients in our consultation room, many express concerns that their makeup doesn't sit well or that their facial lines look more saggy than before.
This phenomenon is not just
in your head.
It is a signal from your skin that its deep elastic layers cannot withstand the rapid environmental changes.
While surface hydration is important, during times like this, the process of firming up the loosened deep skin tissues must come first.
Today, I will explain why Therf Lifting is an effective alternative during the April seasonal transition, focusing on its underlying principles.
1. The burden that temperature differences and dryness place deep within the skin
In April, there are frequent days where the temperature difference exceeds 10 degrees. To adapt to these changes, the skin constantly contracts and relaxes, which easily disrupts the oil-moisture balance.
As the air becomes dry, moisture on the skin's surface evaporates, ultimately worsening deep-seated dryness.
The problem occurs when this
deep-seated dryness becomes chronic.
This is because the collagen and elastin fibers,
which act as support structures deep in the skin,
lose their elasticity and loosen.
The sagging or dullness felt by those visiting us in Seongsu-dong is evidence that the strength of this dermal layer has weakened.
Since it is difficult for regular cosmetics to deliver energy to these deep layers, a method that induces regeneration through physical stimulation is necessary.
2. Therf Lifting: Tissue reconstruction through radiofrequency energy
Therf Lifting is a procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy intensively to the dermal layer.
When radiofrequency energy enters the skin, it forms thermal coagulation zones, triggering the skin's natural mechanism to repair damaged areas.
In this process, new collagen is synthesized, refilling the skin's density.
The key here is to reduce damage to the skin surface
while delivering energy densely
only to the deeper layers.
During seasonal transitions, the skin is more sensitive than usual, so excessive stimulation can actually be harmful.
Sio Clinic utilizes Therf's precise energy adjustment function to set a range that the patient's current skin condition can handle before proceeding with the treatment.
3. Three-dimensional energy design that defines facial lines
Lifting is not simply the task of
lifting sagging areas upward.
Because the face is a three-dimensional structure, the rate of aging and tissue thickness vary by area. Especially during seasonal transitions, elasticity in thin areas like the eyes and mouth is prone to dropping first.
Energy must be distributed very delicately in these areas, while areas that feel heavy, such as the jawline or deep cheeks, require deeper energy delivery to refine the lines.
At Sio Clinic, we design the energy by identifying the patient's habitual facial muscle usage through pre-treatment consultations. Only by setting the vector direction tailored to each individual, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, can we expect natural changes without any sense of artificiality after the procedure.
4. Comfort during the procedure and real-time monitoring
The biggest concern for those hesitant about lifting procedures is, of course, pain.
Therf Lifting is a device that has significantly
reduced the burden of pain.
It features technology that monitors skin temperature in real-time, allowing for sufficient heat delivery while avoiding the risk of burns.
Since the procedure is performed in a comfortable state that does not require sleep anesthesia, it is suitable for those who need to return to their daily lives immediately after the treatment.
Our Sio Clinic constantly communicates with patients during the procedure to ensure there is no discomfort. We believe that a clinic should not just be a place for treatment, but an environment where patients can feel at ease and focus on their care.
5. The sustainability of elasticity felt as time passes
The results of Therf Lifting are felt even more as time passes, rather than immediately after the procedure.
It usually takes about 2 to 4 months for the dermal layer, stimulated by radiofrequency energy, to generate new collagen and settle. During this period, the skin undergoes a process of increasing its own density and becoming firmer.
Sio Clinic avoids procedures that strain the skin for immediate, short-term results. Instead, we aim for healthy changes where the skin's regenerative ability is maximized, leading to improved skin texture and increased elasticity over time.
We also provide thorough post-treatment care guides to ensure that the care started during the seasonal transition is maintained even after the season changes.
6. Criteria for choosing a lifting procedure
The April seasonal transition is a
very important turning point for skincare.
This is because your skin condition for the upcoming summer is determined by how you manage it now.
Rather than simply choosing a trendy procedure, it is important to verify if the clinic can accurately diagnose your current skin thickness, degree of sagging, and sensitivity.
While the performance of the equipment is important, the medical staff's skill lies in how flexibly they utilize that equipment according to the patient's condition.
Sio Clinic does not make excessive recommendations.
Our principle is to provide practical help for the changes the patient expects by using appropriate energy on the necessary areas.
Healthy skin is not built in a day. However, with careful management in the right direction, it can definitely be improved. If you are worried about the dullness and loss of elasticity typical of the changing seasons, please do not worry alone and find the right procedure for your skin through a consultation.
*We are also open on Saturdays and Sundays.
Rather than unconditional factory-style procedures,
we recommend customized treatments for each individual
by checking skin type, muscle location, and degree, using ultrasound if necessary.
