What Is a Lift? The Principles of Sagging and Elasticity

Lifting procedures are the first choice for those concerned about sagging skin and loss of elasticity. They work by delivering radiofrequency or ultrasound energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen regeneration.

Notable examples include Ulthera, Thermage, and Shrink, each of which differs in its energy delivery method and target depth. Since the most suitable procedure varies depending on an individual’s skin condition and degree of sagging, it is best to decide after consulting with a specialist.

The recovery period after the procedure is generally short, and patients can return to their daily routines immediately without significant disruption. However, temporary redness or a slight fever may occur immediately after the procedure, so it is advisable to avoid harsh skincare treatments for a few days.
