“I want lifting, but I’m really afraid my cheeks will lose volume.”

This is a concern we hear very often when consulting with patients who visit Ahyeon Dermatology.

Because of reviews from people around them saying their face looked gaunt or their cheeks became hollow after traditional lifting procedures, many people find it hard to decide on treatment right away. 

Today, for those who hesitate to manage skin elasticity because of worries about hollow cheeks or burns, 

we’ll calmly explain Softwave, which many people have recently been seeking out. 

“Why it can help reduce worries about hollow cheeks”

Some ultrasound lifting treatments deliver energy by targeting deep layers of the skin.

For people who do not have much facial fat, the volume may decrease depending on the treatment area and energy settings, which can make the cheeks look sunken.

In contrast, Softwave is designed to deliver energy with the mid-dermis at about 1.5mm depth as its main target. 

Because it approaches mainly the dermal layer rather than the fat layer, it differs from ultrasound lifting that targets deeper layers.

So it may be worth considering for those who naturally have less facial fullness or have thin skin and want to manage skin elasticity. 

“A cooling system designed to lower the risk of burns”

Some people worry, “Since it uses heat, won’t it cause burns?”

The Softwave device is equipped with a cooling system and temperature monitoring function to reduce the heat burden on the skin surface.

By reducing heat stress on the skin surface while energy is delivered, it may help lessen discomfort during the procedure and reduce thermal damage to the epidermis.

Of course, right after the procedure, temporary redness or swelling may appear depending on the skin condition, so 

it is also important to check the skin condition after treatment and manage it appropriately. 

“Choosing a treatment that matches my facial condition”

If you have enough facial volume and your main concerns are sagging in the lower face or changes in contour, 

you may consider ultrasound lifting that targets deeper layers. 

On the other hand, if you’re worried about hollow cheeks and want to manage skin elasticity as well as fine surface wrinkles, Softwave can be considered one option. 

After the procedure, moisturizing suited to the skin condition and care that reduces irritation are important, and if needed, regenerative care may also be performed together. 

Depending on the skin condition, combining treatments such as skin boosters can also be considered.

We do not believe anti-aging is simply a process of pulling the skin strongly or creating dramatic changes. 

Rather,

we think it is important to refine only as much as needed while not disrupting the current balance of the face as it changes over time. 

Especially for those with limited volume, it is important to know not only what to add, but also what should not be touched. 

That is why, even before treatment, we carefully assess skin thickness and facial volume distribution, and determine what kind of stimulation the skin currently needs. 

Since this is a treatment the patient chose after long consideration, we will not take any part of the process lightly.

Rather than aiming only for visible changes, 

we will provide careful care, placing importance on creating results that do not make one’s own face feel unfamiliar even after treatment. 

For results you can be satisfied with over time,

we will continue only with the treatments that are truly necessary.
