Electronic music double wave showdown! Which facelift method is most effective? Did you inject the wrong part and risk losing a lot of blood?
Sonic facelift is like “beating a cow across a mountain”. How long does it take for the “collagen” to be lost after the facelift?
When the skin gradually ages and develops various problems such as sagging and sagging, “skin lift” is the most popular non-surgical treatment because it can achieve lifting and shaping effects without the need for invasive treatments. One of the first choices for medical beauty treatments for busy young adults. However, facelift surgeries are divided into two types: “sound wave” and “radio wave”. The functions, prices, and applicable parts are different. People should consult a dermatologist before deciding on the treatment method.
Dr. Yang Shi’an, director of the Pure Aesthetics Clinic, said in an interview that whether it is radio wave or sonic wave facelift surgery, it must hit the “fascial layer” to achieve the effect. Doctors point out that sonic facelift is like “beating a cow across a mountain”. It can lock the fascial layer for “focused” heating without affecting the dermis and collagen layers. Doctors say that if you find that the skin on your face is loose, sagging or has poor skin elasticity, sonic facelift can achieve lifting and tightening effects. However, if the symptoms are mainly skin texture problems and you want to improve the “skin quality” together, you will need other instruments to assist.
Dr. Yang Shi’an added that the principle of sonic facelift is to contract the skin and proliferate collagen, but the loss of collagen will still cause visual aging. Under the principle of not harming other tissues, the most obvious effect of sonic facelift can last for about one year. Doctors remind that the effects of facelift treatment will vary depending on face shape, age, and fat distribution. You should discuss the treatment goals with your doctor before proceeding.
Can Radiotherapy solve all face problems at one time? The stronger the energy, the more painful the treatment?
Dr. Yang Shi’an pointed out that unlike sonic wave facelift, radio wave facelift is more like “boiling a frog in warm water”. Its principle is “progressive heating”. The treatment energy has a heating effect wherever it passes. Today’s radio wave facelift technology can already When it comes to the “dermis layer”, “collagen layer” and “fascial layer”, it can achieve improvement effects regardless of skin texture, skin quality, relaxation and elasticity.
Many people are worried about the pain of radiofrequency facelift and are hesitant to receive the treatment. Dr. Yang Shi’an believes that after the radio waves are heated to the collagen layer, the heat must be adjusted to the highest level so that the energy can barely enter the deepest fascial layer of the skin. The stronger the energy, the greater the pain. However, the fourth generation of radio wave facelifts have With better penetration, it can reach deep into the fascial layer even if the treatment energy is weakened. At the same time, various pain relief techniques have been added, and the discomfort of treatment has been greatly improved.
Which one should I choose between radio waves and sound waves? Are the suitable parts very different?
Another question that affects patient choice is which one is more painful, radio wave facelift or sonic wave facelift? Dr. Yang Shi’an explained that with the advancement of medical aesthetics technology, the pain in both cases has been greatly reduced, but there is a difference in feeling. The pain of radio facelift is like touching a “cast iron pot” and is reduced by about 30%; while the “soreness” of sonic facelift is more obvious. The principle of sonic facelift is similar to sonar. If it encounters hard objects (such as bones), the energy That is, it will rebound, the pain will pass through the skin twice, and the pain caused will be doubled.
Dr. Yang Shi’an said that the fascia layer varies in depth and height depending on the position of facial ligaments and bones, and the fascial layer goes deeper and deeper from the face to the body. The fascia layer above the cheekbone is about 3mm, and the depth to the back of the neck can even reach 6mm; these points of different depths are regarded as “anchor points” during treatment. If the anchor point is shallow, it means that the sagging and loosening of the area are obvious, and it is suitable for full-thickness heating with “radio-wave facelift”; sonic wave facelift can accurately locate deeper anchor points, and is suitable for parts where the fascia layer is deeply buried. Such as jaw, contour lines, etc.
Dr. Yang Shi’an said that the fourth-generation radio wave facelift can not only improve aging, but also improve skin quality , making it a highly effective choice; while sonic wave facelift provides precise treatment for specific parts and can solve the problems of loose and sagging skin. , the price is also relatively close to the people. Doctors believe that which one is better between the two depends on the patient’s own needs. As for how long the effects of radio wave and sonic wave facelift last? Dr. Yang Shi’an believes that both are based on one year as the expected value; if the patient pays attention to skin care and maintains good work and rest and eating habits within one year, the treatment effect can be prolonged.
