FAQ

Question 1

Q. Which filler brand should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Restylane and Juvederm have high viscosity, suitable for contour areas like the nose bridge and chin. Belotero is softer, ideal for the eye area and fine lines. Matching the area with the viscosity is key.

Question 2

Q. Which filler brand should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Restylane and Juvederm have high viscosity, suitable for contour areas like the nose bridge and chin. Belotero is softer, ideal for the eye area and fine lines. Matching the area with the viscosity is key.

Question 3

Q. Can it be removed cleanly without scars?

Accepted Answer

With picosecond pulses, there is almost no damage to surrounding tissues. However, slight pigmentation may remain depending on the amount and location of the pigment.

Question 4

Q. How much do the sessions differ by color?

Accepted Answer

Black and dark blue often require 5-8 sessions, while red, yellow, and green often require 10 or more sessions. It depends on the pigment depth and concentration.

Question 5

Q. How long is the interval between treatments?

Accepted Answer

4-6 weeks until the next treatment. Fine scabs naturally fall off in 5-7 days, after which sun protection and soothing care continue.

Question 6

Q. Can semi-permanent makeup also be removed?

Accepted Answer

All semi-permanent makeup for eyebrows, eyeliners, and lips can be removed with PicoSure. The number of sessions varies depending on the type and color of the pigment, and for narrow areas, the output and range are precisely adjusted.

Question 7

Q. How many sessions does it take to improve melasma?

Accepted Answer

On average, 5 to 10 sessions, depending on the depth and area of the dermis. Superficial blemishes require 1 to 3 sessions, while chronic melasma requires a longer session plan.

Question 8

Q. How do PicoSure and general toning differ?

Accepted Answer

General toning uses nanosecond pulses, while PicoSure uses picosecond pulses, making its pulse width 1000 times shorter. It selectively breaks down pigments, reducing the risk of scars and repigmentation.

Question 9

Q. Is it normal for pigments to appear darker temporarily after treatment?

Accepted Answer

It is normal for superficial pigments to appear slightly darker immediately after treatment, and they will clear up as the fine scabs fall off in 4-5 days. Apply prescribed ointment.

Question 10

Q. When is the effect most noticeable?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after treatment, there is a slight feeling of elasticity, and collagen regeneration becomes full-fledged in 2-3 months, making the effect most noticeable. Changes accumulate up to 12 months.

Question 11

Q. How many sessions per year?

Accepted Answer

On average, once every 12-18 months. If sagging progresses rapidly, it can be shortened to 6-12 months.

Question 12

Q. How does TenThera differ from Ulthera?

Accepted Answer

TenThera is a next-generation HIFU that allows multi-layer stimulation in one go without cartridge replacement. Treatment time is shorter, and pain is generally less.

Question 13

Q. How does Ulthera Prime differ from the original Ulthera?

Accepted Answer

New cartridges have been added, expanding the range of depth selection and making precise stimulation for each area easier. Pain intensity and treatment time have also been improved.

Question 14

Q. How is muscle lifting different from Botox?

Accepted Answer

Botox works by weakening muscle contractions to prevent wrinkles, whereas muscle lifting directly pulls up sagging muscles using RF+EMS. The biggest difference is that your expressions remain natural.

Question 15

Q. How long do the effects last?

Accepted Answer

The effects last for 4-6 months starting immediately after the treatment. As you accumulate more sessions, the duration of the effect lengthens, and the stability of your usual facial lines improves.

Question 16

Q. Which areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

It can be applied to areas where facial muscles are active, such as the mid-face, mouth corners, and jawline. It is particularly effective for sagging cheekbone lines.

Question 17

Q. What about pain or downtime?

Accepted Answer

Since it's EMS stimulation, you might feel a pulsating muscle contraction, but the pain is generally low. You can return to your daily routine immediately after the treatment.

Question 18

Q. How much pain is involved?

Accepted Answer

Since it's SMAS coagulation stimulation, there's a stinging sensation, but Revinas has short pulses, so the pain passes quickly. It's tolerable when performed after applying anesthetic cream.

Question 19

Q. How often should I receive the treatment?

Accepted Answer

On average, every 12-18 months. If sagging progresses quickly, gradual maintenance is possible once every 6-12 months.

Question 20

Q. What does it mean to create coagulation points in the SMAS layer?

Accepted Answer

This mechanism involves creating millet-sized coagulation points at regular intervals in the SMAS layer. These points contract and regenerate, lifting the fascia itself. Unlike RF, which stimulates an area, this acts deeply on a single point.

Question 21

Q. How is Revinas different from other HIFU devices?

Accepted Answer

With DCT (Dual Cooling Technology) and a short pulse width, superficial damage is minimized, and pain is reduced. The treatment time is also relatively short, around 30 minutes.

Question 22

Q. How does Thermage FLX differ from previous models?

Accepted Answer

The dermis stimulation area has expanded by approximately 4 times, and pain has been significantly reduced thanks to the Comfort Tip's vibration and cooling functions. Treatment time has also been shortened by about 25%.

Question 23

Q. Which is right for me among InMode, Onda, and Thermage?

Accepted Answer

InMode uses two handpieces for different depths (Forma for superficial, Fix for deep); Onda uses wireless RF with a wide safety zone and shorter treatment time; Thermage's strength is its ability to stimulate a large area at once. The choice depends on the sagging area and skin thickness.

Question 24

Q. How often should I receive RF lifting treatments?

Accepted Answer

For the same device, the cycle is 6-12 months. If combined with RF or HIFU of different depths, additional treatments can be done at 2-4 week intervals in between.

Question 25

Q. Which treatments are effective for acne scars?

Accepted Answer

For shallow pigmented marks, toning is effective. For boxcar scars and ice-pick scars, a combination of Fraxel, subcision, and fillers is approached step by step.

Question 26

Q. How do Skinvive, Belotero, Filorga, and Rejuran differ?

Accepted Answer

Black and dark blue colors are removed relatively quickly in 5-8 sessions. Colors such as red, yellow, and green may require 10 or more sessions.

Question 28

Q. Why do pores gradually enlarge?

Accepted Answer

Pores gradually enlarge due to excessive sebum secretion and decreased dermal collagen, which causes the pore walls to stretch. Dermal stimulation is needed rather than simple care.

Question 29

Q. Can semi-permanent makeup also be removed?

Accepted Answer

Semi-permanent makeup for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips can all be removed with Pico laser. The number of sessions varies depending on the pigment.

Question 32

Q. What treatments are suitable for pustular and comedonal acne?

Accepted Answer

Fine scabs form 5-7 days after the treatment and naturally fall off. The next session is performed 4-6 weeks later.
