Question 5

Q. Which lifting treatment should I start with?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your sagging stage, skin thickness, and budget. The stimulation depth increases in the order of superficial RF (InMode, Onda) → dermal RF (Thermage FLX, Eravi) → fascia HIFU (Ulthera, Tenssarma) → thread lifting. After diagnosis, we will determine the first step together.

Question 6

Q. 레이저치료 후 색소가 더 심해지는 경우는 왜 그런가요?

Accepted Answer

A. After pigmentation laser treatment, exposure to UV light can worsen hyperpigmentation. Melanin production may also be stimulated during the process of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or the removal of existing pigmentation, which can make the pigmentation appear darker. In such cases, diligent UV protection and skin moisturizing are important, and the pigmentation may naturally lighten over time. However, it is advisable to establish an additional treatment plan through an accurate diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Treatments with non-overlapping stimulation depths can be done on the same day. However, combinations where stimulation accumulates are safely performed with 2-4 week intervals.

Question 22

Accepted Answer

For the same device, the interval is 6-12 months. Different types of treatments can be combined with an interval of 2-4 weeks. It is safer not to repeat the same stimulation at too short an interval.

Accepted Answer

Between sessions, we maintain your condition with calming, moisturizing, and management treatments. As regular care accumulates, the effects of subsequent treatments become more stable.

Question 30

Q. Can I receive multiple medications at once?

Accepted Answer

Each medication has a different depth of action and mechanism, so combinations are possible. However, injecting too much at once can prolong swelling, so it is recommended to distribute the injections.

Question 31

Q. Which is better, RF or HIFU?

Accepted Answer

Rather than one being superior, their penetration depths differ. RF heats the dermis layer over an area, while HIFU provides coagulation stimulation at a single point in the SMAS layer. The appropriate depth varies depending on the sagging stage, and often, both are combined.

Question 32

Normal activities are possible within 5 minutes after the intravenous injection, with no restrictions on exercise, washing face, or eating. For some medications, only moderation of alcohol consumption is recommended.

Accepted Answer

With 1-2 injections, the effect typically lasts 1-2 years. Regular replenishment is recommended every 1-2 years.

Question 52

Q. How do Radiesse (CaHA) and Rituo (hADM) differ?

Accepted Answer

Radiesse's CaHA particles immediately fill volume and gradually stimulate collagen, while Rituo's hADM (acellular homologous dermis) replenishes the dermal ECM itself. Their sites of action and mechanisms differ.

Question 53

Q. Do collagen boosters show immediate effects?

Accepted Answer

CaHA particles are directly filled into the dermis, so volume and elasticity are visible immediately after treatment. Subsequently, autologous collagen grows over 4-8 weeks, making the results more stable.

Question 54

Q. How do collagen boosters and skin boosters differ?

Accepted Answer

Collagen boosters directly inject collagen and ECM into the dermis, while skin boosters (Juvelook, Sculptra) stimulate autologous collagen production. The difference lies in direct injection versus stimulation.

Question 55

Q. How many sessions of contour injection are recommended?

Accepted Answer

While effects can be seen with a single session, a 5-session package is recommended for firm volume and precise V-line design. Sessions are typically 4-6 weeks apart.

Question 56

Q. How does ShineU's proprietary contour injection differ from general ones?
