In the season when one year ends and a new one begins, gatherings never stop. Year-end company dinners, alumni reunions, and various other events follow one after another, and the mood stays lively. Yet some people quietly sigh as they notice how their own appearance changes with each passing year. As time goes by, traces of aging appear on the skin as well. Wrinkles are a representative sign of aging. Medically, a wrinkle refers to the phenomenon in which collagen fibers and elastic fibers in the dermal layer of the skin are altered and moisture decreases, so that skin elasticity drops and the skin sags and folds. On top of this, some subcutaneous fat is absorbed and the skin stretches, deepening the loss of elasticity. As a result, the cheeks in the midface sag and can look sullen, or a double chin forms and the border between the jaw and neck blurs, making the face look larger.Wrinkles forming and the facial contour losing its shape in this way is a natural phenomenon that many people experience as they age. Even so, it is human nature to want to escape that change oneself. People therefore try anti-aging in various ways, such as eating foods that help skin regeneration or getting massages, but wrinkles that have already formed are difficult to reverse naturally.When wrinkles and skin sagging have broken down the facial contour, some consider procedures such as facial lifting with the help of medical professionals. Recently, many people look for laser lifting, a non-surgical method that allows a quick return to daily life without worrying about scars. However, the skin of the face is all connected, so laser lifting performed only on a specific area may not deliver a sufficient effect in some cases.Recently, procedures using stem cells that make up for these drawbacks have been drawing interest. A representative example is Stem Cell 360 Full-Face Lifting, a lifting procedure applied to the entire face. Autologous stem cells extracted from one's own fat are processed into a high concentration, and through a 360-degree, all-around regeneration and activation boosting process, aging is improved across all layers of the skin.This is a procedure that regenerates collagen through laser treatment across every layer of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and fascial layer, and uses the growth factors of stem cells to raise fundamental regenerative capacity. Through this, one can expect the effect of strengthening elasticity across sagging skin overall and reducing facial size. In addition, as collagen regeneration is promoted, pores are reduced and skin texture improves, providing a comprehensive anti-aging effect. The growth factors of stem cells have a continuous regenerative capacity rather than a one-off effect, which helps extend how long the lifting result is maintained.However, lifting using stem cells is a procedure that demands expertise and skill. It is therefore necessary to have your skin condition accurately assessed in advance and to establish a systematic plan and customized design. Before the procedure, it is advisable to have a thorough consultation with experienced medical staff and settle on a treatment plan that suits you.Advice by : Dr. Yoosuk Chung, TheLINE Plastic Surgery Source : Beopbo Newspaper (https://www.beopbo.com)
