(Seoul=News1) Business Desk, reporter Cho Eun-soon = As society ages, 'beauty care' is drawing attention alongside health care. As older adults extend their working lives and people of all ages wish to look young, more and more people are investing in their appearance.
One of the most prominent trends in appearance care is the 'youthful look'. People with firm, smooth skin and a V-line facial shape are objects of envy. Of course, no one can completely reverse the passage of time such as wrinkles and sagging skin, but various methods have appeared and are being used to slow it down even a little. Anti-aging procedures such as V-line lifting are one of them.
Compared with anti-aging foods, cosmetics and exercise, V-line lifting procedures show a more immediate change in appearance. They are reportedly sought not only by women in their 40s and 50s who want to improve aging that is already under way, but also by women in their 20s and 30s as a preventive measure.
On this point, Dr. Yoosuk Chung of the Lifting & Anti-Aging Center at TheLINE Plastic Surgery said, "Firm skin without wrinkles and a slim jawline without sagging can be called the conditions for a youthful look," adding, "A lifting procedure suited to each individual face, such as Power V contouring or Ten Lifting, should be performed."
For women in their 20s and 30s in the early stages of wrinkle formation, Power V contouring, which lifts slightly sagging skin along the facial line, is appropriate. This procedure removes cheek fat and a double chin and refines the soft tissue of the face, and it shows results for a double chin, sagging cheeks and nasolabial folds, as well as for removing excess facial fat and improving an uneven facial contour.
For those in their 40s and 50s who already have wrinkles or advanced aging, thread lifting is suitable without surgical procedures such as a facelift that requires incising and suturing the skin. Ten Lifting, a lifting procedure using threads, allows selective wrinkle treatment by area and age-tailored lifting for the forehead and glabella, the jawline and eye area, the neck and nasolabial folds. It can lift skin that has become loose with aging and can lead to improvement in skin elasticity and skin tone, collagen remodeling and brightening, skin regeneration and a V-line effect.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung advised, "The face contains soft tissue such as muscles and nerves that affect expressions and the direction of wrinkles, so it is only by identifying that soft tissue precisely through ultrasound diagnosis that a safe procedure without side effects becomes possible," and added, "You should choose the procedure that suits you through a thorough consultation with a specialist who has extensive experience with it."
