Why combine body care with medical skincare?

Image
  The Difference Patients Notice When Combining Body Care and Medical Skincare At first, receiving spa therapy at a plastic surgery clinic may seem unusual. However, there is a reason behind this approach. People who have invested in skincare for a long time understand that it’s not only about using good products — it’s also about how effectively the active ingredients are absorbed by the skin. Even high-quality medical skincare products can become less effective if blood circulation or lymphatic flow is impaired. Studies have shown that skin treated with lymphatic massage demonstrates noticeably improved hydration and elasticity compared to untreated skin. When circulation throughout the body improves, the skin responds better to treatments. This is one of the reasons why combining spa body care with medical skincare often helps maintain results for a longer period of time. Tension in the muscles around the back and spine can negatively affect overall circulation. Our back...

How to Choose the Right Skin Booster for Your Skin

Image
Skin boosters have become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments for improving skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. However, with so many products available today, it is important to understand that not all skin boosters are created to the same standards. At SHE’S Plastic Surgery Clinic, we use Skinvive — a product approved by the U.S. FDA and officially registered in Korea as a medical device for injectable procedures by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). Unlike topical skincare products, Skinvive is injected directly into the dermal layer of the skin. This allows the active ingredients to work deep beneath the surface, where regular skincare products often cannot reach. After treatment, patients commonly notice: improved skin hydration; increased firmness and elasticity; smoother skin texture; reduction of fine lines; healthier and more radiant-looking skin. The effects of a single treatment typically last between 6 to 9 months b...

Why Does a Double Chin Appear Even Without Weight Gain?

Image
Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed sagging under your chin, even though you haven’t really gained weight? A double chin is not always caused by body weight. As we age, the neck muscles gradually weaken and lose elasticity, reducing support under the chin. Even without excess fat, the skin and tissues beneath the jawline can begin to sag, creating the appearance of a double chin. These days, frequent smartphone use and constantly looking downward have also increased concerns about double chins among people in their 20s and 30s. If excess fat is the main cause, Triderm combined with liposuction may be recommended. Triderm is a treatment that delivers RF (radiofrequency) energy directly into the dermal layer of the skin to stimulate collagen contraction, helping improve skin firmness and lifting effects. When combined with liposuction performed through a tiny 2 mm incision, it can reduce fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. Treatment areas may include the double...

Will filler help with nasolabial folds? Or is surgery necessary?

Image
One of the most common questions patients ask during consultation for nasolabial folds is: “Would filler be enough for me, or do I need surgery?” To answer this properly, we first need to determine the cause of the nasolabial folds. There are generally two main causes: • Loss of volume in the cheek area • Sagging of the skin and underlying tissues If the folds are mainly caused by volume loss, filler can be an effective solution. Fillers restore volume to hollow areas and soften the folds naturally. The procedure is relatively quick, and recovery time is minimal. Juvederm typically lasts about 1.5–2 years, while Rejuviel lasts around 1–1.5 years. However, if sagging is also present, the approach becomes different. Even if filler restores lost volume, sagging skin may still remain, meaning the folds cannot be fully corrected with filler alone. In such cases, a mid-face lift may be recommended. This surgery lifts and firmly repositions the sagging cheek tissues, improving not onl...

Concerned about loss of skin elasticity? Which procedure should you choose?

Image
Many patients come to us with complaints about fine lines and reduced skin firmness. When considering a non-invasive skin procedure, a common question arises: which method is best for improving skin elasticity? For patients concerned about loss of firmness, She's Clinic recommends Ultracol — a skin booster that stimulates collagen production in the skin. Ultracol helps activate the skin's natural regeneration processes and improves its overall condition. The procedure is particularly effective for enlarged pores, scars, and uneven skin texture. After a course of treatments, the skin becomes noticeably smoother and firmer. A course of 3–5 sessions is typically recommended, with approximately 3 weeks between each session. ⏱ Results last approximately 1 to 1.5 years, after which the skin gradually returns to its previous state. Upon completing the primary course, a maintenance session once every 2–3 months is recommended. Ultracol | Procedures | She's Plastic Surg...

V-RO Advance: Who Is This Lifting Treatment Best For?

Image
Have you ever felt like your facial contours are becoming less defined with age? V-RO Advance is a lifting treatment that combines ultrasound and radiofrequency technology. By using these two types of energy together, the treatment stimulates the deeper layers of the skin, allowing for a stronger lifting effect compared to conventional lifting procedures. The treatment areas can be customized according to your needs. Some patients focus mainly on the cheeks and jawline, while others choose a full-face treatment that also includes the forehead and eye area. If needed, the neck area can also be added to help improve neck wrinkles and sagging. One of the biggest concerns patients have about lifting procedures is pain. However, because a numbing cream is applied before treatment, discomfort is minimal. ⏱ Treatment time: approximately 40–50 minutes ✔ Makeup can be applied immediately after the procedure ✔ No significant downtime required To maintain the results, treatments ar...

Melasma or pigmentation spots — what’s the difference?

Image
Many people wonder whether the brown spots they see in the mirror are melasma or simple pigmentation. Although they may look similar, the causes and treatment methods are actually different. Melasma occurs when melanin pigment settles deep within the epidermis and dermis. It usually appears as broad patches with blurred borders around the cheeks, forehead, and nose. Because it is strongly affected by UV exposure and hormonal changes, it often becomes darker after the age of 40. Pigmented spots, on the other hand, are commonly caused by sun exposure or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and usually have more defined borders than melasma. The most important difference is the depth of the pigment. Melasma extends deeper into the dermis, making it difficult to improve with skincare products alone. For visible improvement, laser treatments combined with consistent skin care are usually recommended. At She’s Plastic Surgery Clinic, the Tone-Up Package combines IPL or laser toning to...
