Things to Check Before Combining Serf Lifting and Lituo Skin Booster in Seongsu-dong

Seongsu-dong Serf Lifting,
Things to Check Before Combining with Lituo Skin Booster
[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Sio Clinic
Hello, this is Sio Clinic.
When patients visit us for consultations regarding skin concerns,
many share similar worries.
"My face feels saggy overall,
and I'm also concerned about skin texture and fine lines."
"I'm worried that getting both a lifting procedure and a skin booster
might be too much for my skin."
Because various facial changes rarely stem from
a single cause, concerns often grow.
This is because the loss of elasticity leading to a blurred jawline
often occurs alongside a decrease in internal moisture,
resulting in rough skin texture.
In such situations, rather than sticking to one approach,
a calm treatment plan tailored to your skin structure is necessary.
Today, Sio Clinic will summarize the key points
you should check in advance when considering
both treatments together.
Understanding the Different Roles of Serf and Lituo
While both treatments help improve skin condition,
their principles and roles differ.
Seongsu-dong Serf Lifting uses high-frequency (RF) energy
to deliver heat deep into the skin tissue.
By applying heat stimulation to loose tissue,
it helps with tightening and contouring.
On the other hand, Lituo Skin Booster is an injectable treatment
that delivers human-derived acellular dermal matrix (ECM)
directly into the skin.
It replenishes the foundation of thinned skin,
helping to improve texture and fine lines.
Simply put, the Serf Lifting process is about
applying heat stimulation to the skin foundation,
while Lituo Skin Booster is about directly
replenishing the nutrients needed in the dermis.
Efficient Treatment Order: Injection After High-Frequency
If you plan to have both treatments on the same day,
it is important to set the correct order.
At Sio Clinic, when performing both, we prioritize
the high-frequency treatment first.
During the Serf Lifting stage, the tip is applied firmly
to deliver sufficient heat energy to the target areas.
In this process, heat stimulation and pressure are
naturally applied to the skin surface and deep layers.
If you were to perform the Lituo injection first
and then immediately apply strong high-frequency stimulation,
there is a possibility that unnecessary stress
could be applied to the injected ingredients.
It is advisable to complete the Serf Lifting treatment first,
check the skin's reaction, and then inject Lituo
into the necessary locations.

Importance of Recovery Period and Scheduling
When planning both treatments, you must consider not only the results
but also the recovery process that may follow.
After Serf Lifting, some individuals may experience
temporary heat, swelling, or stiffness,
and the face may appear slightly swollen for a few days.
Lituo may also cause injection marks or minor bruising
due to the nature of injectable treatments.
Therefore, if you have important events or meetings ahead,
we recommend scheduling your treatment with at least
2 to 3 weeks of buffer time.
During your consultation at Sio Clinic, we carefully examine
your individual schedule, skin thickness, and degree of sagging
to adjust the treatment intensity on a 1:1 basis.
Rather than performing an excessive number of shots,
it is better to proceed only with what is necessary
for your current condition.
Criteria for Finding the Right Combination
A Serf Lifting combination
is not necessarily required for everyone.
If overall sagging is your main concern,
high-frequency treatment can be prioritized,
and if skin dryness and texture improvement are more urgent,
you may start with a skin booster.
At Sio Clinic, we analyze each patient's skin thickness,
fat distribution, and direction of sagging from multiple angles
to guide you toward the most appropriate care.
Since facial changes arise from various causes,
we recommend determining the order through
sufficient consultation with our medical staff
rather than worrying alone.
