Hello!
I am Dr. Bo-hwang Jeong, Director of Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
Have you ever had these concerns while looking into lifting procedures?
"I want to see results, but I heard it's too painful."
"I'm hesitating because I'm worried about the side effect of cheek hollowness."
"I'm busy, so I can't afford a long recovery period."
Among those looking for dermatologists near Gangnam Station,
many have been postponing lifting for these reasons.
Today, I will explain a procedure that can address these concerns one by one,
Gangnam Alltight Lifting.
The reason for facial sagging is simpler than you might think.
Inside the skin, proteins called collagen and elastin
are intertwined like a net to create elasticity.
As we age, this net becomes loose,
and as the strength to hold the skin weakens,
the cheeks sag and the jawline becomes blurred.
In particular, the loosening of the lower dermis and the SMAS layer,
is one of the core causes of sagging.
Gangnam Alltight Lifting is a procedure that directly targets these layers.
What is Alltight Lifting?
Alltight isa high-frequency (RF) lifting procedure
that applies DLTD® (Dermis Layer Target Dielectric Heating System),
a patented technology by Innoxus..
To explain it simply:
Existing RF lifting delivers heat from the skin surface,
which had limitations in reaching the deep inner layers with sufficient energy.
Alltight Lifting isa method that delivers thermal energy intensively
to the lower dermis and SMAS layer
while leaving the epidermis as untouched as possible..
It is similar to the induction heating method, where the inside gets hot first
while the outside remains intact when heating an old pot.
It is a structure where heat is concentrated from the inside while reducing skin surface irritation.
This thermal energy contracts the tissue,
and subsequently induces collagen regeneration to gradually improve elasticity.
Alltight Procedure Method
Gangnam Alltight Lifting is performed by holding the handpiece close to the skin
using a rubbing method.
Because the handpiece moves as a surface along the facial contours rather than a point or line method,
it delivers energy evenly,
making it applicable even to three-dimensional areas
such as the cheeks, double chin, and nasolabial folds.
Due to the nature of this method, the skill of the medical staff
handling the handpiece can affect the results..
This is because it is important to maintain uniform pressure
and speed according to the facial contours..
What is the level of pain and recovery?
One of the characteristics of Gangnam Alltight Lifting
is that the burden of pain is relatively low.
It is designed to minimize the temperature rise of the epidermis,
so it is sometimes performed without numbing cream,
and many describe it as a "warm sensation."
However, pain sensitivity varies by individual..
🚨 Precautions
After the procedure, slight redness and a pulling sensation may occur,
which usually subside within 72 hours.
Washing your face and returning to daily life are often possible on the same day.
However, please avoid using cold compresses or packs on the day of the procedure,
and it is recommended to refrain from saunas, drinking, and strenuous exercise for 2-3 days.
Concerns about cheek hollowness can be reasonably reduced.
One of the reasons for hesitating about lifting procedures
is the concern about cheek hollowness.
Alltight is not a method that reduces fat cells themselves.
It focuses on a tightening method that increases skin tissue density
and makes the dermal structure firm.
It is structured to concentrate energy on the dermis and SMAS layers
rather than the subcutaneous fat layer,
thereby reducing unnecessary fat stimulation.
This procedure is often sought for consultation by those who have little facial fat or are worried about cheek hollowness
and have hesitated to get other lifting procedures.
Expected Changes
Some people feel tightening changes along with skin contraction
after the Gangnam Alltight Lifting procedure.
As the process of new collagen production progresses over several weeks,
some experience improvement in sagging cheeks, a more defined jawline, reduction of double chin,
and improvement in nasolabial folds.
Results may vary depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle habits.
Advantages and Limitations, Explained Balancely
The advantages of Gangnam Alltight Lifting are that the pain is low and the downtime is short,
allowing for the procedure even during a busy daily life,
and many people experience tightening changes after the procedure
with a relatively low concern for cheek hollowness.
Of course, there are limitations.
If skin sagging is severe or volume loss is significant,
it may be difficult to achieve the desired changes with Alltight alone..
In such cases, combining it with other procedures may be more appropriate.
Due to the nature of the rubbing method, results can vary depending on the practitioner's skill,
so it is important to be treated by experienced medical staff.
Recommended for:
Those concerned about sagging cheeks and a blurred jawline
Those who have postponed lifting due to fear of pain
Those who need to return to daily life immediately without downtime
Those who were worried about cheek hollowness
On the other hand, if you are pregnant, have metal implants in the treatment area,
or have specific skin diseases, a consultation is required before the procedure..
Post-Procedure Care
Washing your face and daily activities are often possible on the day of the procedure.
However, please avoid cold compresses or packs on the same day.
It is recommended to refrain from saunas, drinking, and strenuous exercise for 2-3 days after the procedure.
Protect your skin by thoroughly applying sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when going out.
Adequate hydration and sleep help with collagen regeneration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Gangnam Alltight Lifting, when can I feel the effects?
Some people feel tightening changes after the procedure,
and in many cases, gradual improvement occurs over several weeks
as collagen regeneration progresses. Individual results may vary.
Q. How many sessions are required?
Generally, 3 sessions at 2-4 week intervals are recommended,
followed by maintenance sessions every 6 months to 1 year.
Since the maintenance cycle may vary depending on skin condition
and individual aging speed,
it is best to decide after a consultation. Individual results may vary.
Q. Is it really less painful?
It is designed to minimize epidermal irritation,
so many people say the burden of pain is relatively low.
However, it may feel different depending on individual pain sensitivity and the treatment area.
Q. Is there any concern about cheek hollowness?
Since it is a method of increasing skin tissue density rather than directly reducing fat,
the concern for cheek hollowness is relatively low.
However, since the practitioner's energy control and skill are important,
it is recommended to be treated by experienced medical staff.
Q. Can it be combined with other lifting procedures?
Depending on the skin condition, combining it with other procedures
can sometimes lead to synergistic effects.
It is recommended to decide on the appropriate combination after a consultation.
