The most prominent skin change caused by aging is the decrease in collagen and elastin in the dermis. This weakens the structures that support soft tissues, such as the skin, subcutaneous fat, and muscles, eventually causing the facial contours to sag. If the facial contours are not maintained, wrinkles form on the nasolabial folds, jawline, around the eyes, and even on the forehead, making it difficult to achieve a youthful appearance.
In particular, when your cheeks sink in, your cheekbones become relatively more prominent, making your face prone to taking on a peanut shape. This is a change that many people fear. Here is why contouring is essential to neatly refine your facial lines and firmly fix any loosened contours.
Among the various lifting procedures, there is one that is currently receiving the most attention: Lafullen. We will delve deeper into Lafullen, known as the “Collagen Changer,” and examine which other treatments maximize synergy when performed in conjunction with it.
The Choice for Lifting: Surgery vs. Non-Surgery
The most definitive choice for lifting is likely a facelift. It is a procedure primarily chosen by middle-aged individuals in their late 40s to 60s rather than younger people. It is suitable for those seeking to fundamentally correct severe sagging or deep wrinkles and expect fast yet long-lasting results. This is because it is a solution that fundamentally improves sagging caused by aging by pulling up the innermost layer of the skin, the SMAS.
There are also clear downsides. Since it is a surgical procedure requiring general or sedation and incisions, bruising and swelling can persist for more than two weeks. The possibility of scarring must also be considered. Complete recovery takes up to three months, and the cost is inevitably high.
For modern people leading busy lives, procedures with short recovery periods are preferred. Since they are often received periodically, they are also approached as a form of maintenance. A representative example of a non-surgical lifting procedure is Ulthera.
Ulthera works by lifting the skin through the principle of coagulating and contracting the fascial layer tissue, effectively tightening sagging contours. Ulthera Prime, which offers even more superior results, is also worth noting. There is also a similar domestic device called Shurink. InMode also delivers high-frequency RF energy from the epidermal layer to the fascial layer, making it effective for wrinkles and tightening, and creating a sharp jawline.
In addition, InMode and Accent Prime, also known as Tune Face Lifting, are other options. Meanwhile, if Thermage is performed as a preventive measure before skin sagging occurs, you can achieve a more natural lifting effect and expect a long-lasting result.
However, quite a few people have not seen results as satisfactory as they expected. If you have been dissatisfied with existing lifting procedures, take a look at Lafullen. Lafullen is the treatment that adds volume and firmly tightens sagging lines!
Is there a separate procedure for the real lifting? Lafullen
Lafullen is a procedure that replenishes lacking volume through collagen regeneration. It is also known as a “collagen changer” due to its natural effects, long-lasting results, and freedom from the side effect of nodules. Lafullen is a treatment that instantly relieves the worries and concerns regarding the aspects most people are most concerned about before a procedure.
The effects last for up to 12 to 24 months. The reason for this long-lasting effect lies in its ingredients. It features a PCL content—the core ingredient of Lafullen—that is more than double that of other brands. This allows collagen to be gradually generated over several months, delivering natural volume and elasticity.
Nodule side effects are a common concern associated with collagen procedures. Lafullen particles are in the form of microspheres with a consistent size, significantly reducing the risk of clumping. Furthermore, their biocompatible porous structure enables stable dilution and even dispersion within the body, ensuring safety. Another advantage is that they can be widely used not only on the face—including the forehead, temples, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and wrinkles around the mouth—but also on parts of the body such as the knees, stretch marks, backs of the hands, pelvis, and buttocks.
And there is one more thing: Lafullen has another name. It is ‘non-surgical contour fixation.’ It can manage the outer contour by fixing relaxed facial ligaments to lift the face. The outer contour plays a role in supporting and lifting the facial lines to prevent them from sagging, and through Lafullen, it is possible to improve areas that sag due to aging, such as the hairline, temples, cheekbones, and jawline.
If you haven’t seen significant results with conventional procedures alone, Lafullen can be a great alternative for firmly defining your facial contours! This is why you should pay attention to Lafullen if you desire firm facial lines without surgery.
Treatments recommended to receive with Lafullen: Juvelook Volume
What is a good procedure to receive alongside Lafullen, which is responsible for facial contouring? Juvelook Volume is the answer. As its name suggests, Juvelook Volume is a collagen injection used on areas that require volume. Based on PDLLA components extracted from natural substances, it stimulates collagen production to bring about natural improvements in elasticity and volume. It is the preferred choice when volume is needed but fillers feel a bit too daunting.
Due to the nature of Juvelook Volume as a skin booster, it is not a procedure performed intensively on specific areas of the face. The key is to inject it evenly across the entire skin to improve overall facial volume naturally. On the other hand, Lafullen is a procedure that focuses more on specific areas of the face.
You will experience a highly complete procedure if you lift the overall volume of your face with Juvelook and address facial contour lines, such as the forehead, temples, cheekbones, and jawline, with Lafullen. For effective results, we recommend combining both procedures.
The practitioner’s skill level determines the results of Lafullen.
For any procedure, the first step is to envision the big picture. It is important to accurately set your desired goal and proceed with the necessary procedures step by step to achieve it. This is especially true when combining multiple procedures, such as Lafullen and Juvereux Volume; meticulously planning the priority and frequency of the treatments is essential.
With Lafullen, the competence of both the hospital and the practitioner is particularly important. Because it is a highly effective procedure, it is also a delicate one that requires the consideration of various factors. It is essential to meticulously evaluate the individual’s skin condition and accurately determine where and how to inject it.
That judgment is essentially the practitioner’s philosophy. This is why it is important to gain a deeper understanding of the treatment direction during the 1:1 consultation process.
