- Understanding the Aging Phenomenon
- Aging is caused by various symptoms such as tissue sagging, volume reduction and repositioning (usually in an undesired way), and wrinkle formation as cells that make the skin tissue lose elasticity over time.
  These three symptoms appear simultaneously and gradually as the overall shape of the face changes gradually creating the aging signs.
  This phenomenon becomes more pronounced over time, and it usually starts to become prominent from the mid-30s depending on the individual life cycle.
  
  Typical aging symptoms include nasolabial folds, sagging mouth corners, increased lower face volume, and irregular and undefined jawline, overall facial lines that become uneven and dented by the exposure of facial skeletons and structural tissues due to decrease in overall volume of the face, and lastly, the deep and fine wrinkles.

- The Secret of sustainable youthfulness
- Since aging symptoms occur gradually and continuously over time, it is important to manage the aging signs continuously according to each aging symptom in order to maintain the youthful appearance and prevent aging signs from becoming prominent.
  
  Lifting surgery surely has a longer duration and more pronounced effect since it physically removes stretched tissue through surgery. However, it is difficult to perform lifting surgery every time to improve aging signs as there are limitations in the amount of tissue.
  Therefore, the secret to maintain the most natural youthfulness for a significantly extended time is to continuously manage each aging symptoms with proper method from the time when aging symptoms start to occur.

- Synergistic lifting effect through bespoke anti-aging procedures
- HERSHE Plastic Surgery Korea’s Signature Epiticon® Full Face Lift is a comprehensive anti-aging program that multiple procedures regarding aging signs are precisely designed to overlap with each procedures effect to create complimentary effect with one another. For example, thread lifting which targets to improve sagging skin and deep wrinkles will assist with the result of the laser assisted lipolysis, providing a support to the possible sag that might take place after removing accumulated volume in the lower face. Simultaneously, the outcome of the thread lifting can be expected to be improved as the unnecessary lower face volume is removed through laser assisted lipolysis.
  
  If the scars and recovery time of the surgical facelift is burdensome, or in case where the degree of overall aging sign is not severe, Epiticon® full facelift is an appropriate procedure to improve the aging of the entire face in tailored to each individual’s aging symptoms.

HEALITE® laser treatment after surgery
1. The 590nm wavelength of low-level micropower is initially applied to the epidermal layer of the skin to ensure optimal delivery of healing wavelengths, followed by the 830nm near-infrared wavelength, known for its deep penetration and strong healing capabilities.

2. The 830nm healing photons are emitted from 1800 light sources, creating a zone where the photons overlap.

3. This zone exhibits healing effects and facilitates rapid skin regeneration and pain relief by ensuring sufficient photon delivery to deeper layers of the skin.

The combination of pre-irradiation of the skin with low-level micropower at 590nm, followed by the powerful 830nm near-infrared (near-IR) wavelength penetrating deep into the skin, is the technique used in HEALITE® phototherapy.
The LEDs on the panel are precisely arranged to allow the emitted light from each LED to overlap, enabling interactions through a large number of photons.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Do you use Epiticon® threads?

A. Yes, we do. Epiticon® threads are patented threads developed by our head surgeon, Dr. Jung Young Choon. These threads are dissolvable yet provide strength, tensile force, and fixation suitable for lifting in heavy tissue areas. With just a small number of threads, they can achieve tissue lifting effects on the entire face.

Q.What areas are treated with the lifting procedure?

A. We target skin sagging and wrinkles across the entire face. Epiticon® threads can be used to fixate on firm tissues like the temporal fascia or move tissues from sagging areas to areas with insufficient volume due to the multi-unit structure of the threads. Therefore, we can provide individualized lifting treatment to improve various sagging and wrinkle conditions throughout the face.

Q.How long does it take to see the effects of the lifting?

A. The lifting procedure is conducted along the contours of each area, allowing us to freely adjust the position of facial tissues. Therefore, we can improve most of the sagging tissues and wrinkles. However, since aging symptoms have complex causes, additional procedures such as autologous fat grafting or facial liposuction may be more effective in combination to enhance overall anti-aging effects.

Q.How many threads are used during the procedure?

A. The number of threads is determined based on the diagnosis. For an entire face lifting, we generally use more than 20 to 30 threads. However, using more threads doesn't necessarily mean better results. Too many threads may cause pain and discomfort. Thus, at HERSHE, we use the Epiticon® threads with a multi-unit structure that is advantageous for pulling and fixing, aiming for an efficient lifting procedure.

Q.How long do the results last?

A. Epiticon® lifting has both semi-permanent and dissolvable characteristics. The dissolvable threads usually dissolve within 1 to 1.5 years. The longevity of the effect can be extended through proper self-care after the procedure. Additionally, combining the lifting procedure with other anti-aging treatments such as autologous fat grafting or facial liposuction can help maintain the anti-aging effects for a longer period.

Q.Will there be noticeable scars?

A. The procedure involves minimal incisions, and the insertion points for the threads may leave needle marks on the treated areas. These marks will fade over time and become less noticeable. However, if scarring remains a concern, laser treatment or other scar management programs can be helpful.

Q.What precautions should be taken after the surgery?

A. After the surgery, there may be bleeding or hematoma formation with minor impacts within 1 to 3 days. Applying light pressure with clean gauze or tissue for about 3 minutes can stop the bleeding. It's essential to avoid getting water on the surgical site and refrain from chewing hard and tough food or opening the mouth widely until fully recovered. Avoiding positions where the head is bent forward for an extended period and sleeping with the head elevated above the heart for at least 3 to 5 days is advised. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided for about a month after the surgery.
