What is laser resurfacing?

Image
  Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure using a laser to rejuvenate the texture and appearance of the skin. It also addresses different kinds of skin concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, dark spots, etc.     Before undergoing any laser procedures, it is important to know which lasers are available to treat those skin problems.     Lasers used in laser resurfacing procedures are classified into two groups: Ablative and Non-ablative. What is the difference between these two categories?     It is vital to stress and illustrates the difference because of the effect that they may have on the skin.     Ablative lasers are a type of lasers that makes injuries to the skin and removes the outer layer of the skin. They induce collagen production by heating the second skin layer, the dermis.     When the dermis is heated up, it starts to generate collagen, and this improves the skin. Such lasers as CO2 or Erbium Fraxel (fractionated) laser are examples of Ablative lasers.

Treatment for prominent nasolabial folds

Image
  Nasolabial folds are wrinkles in the skin that run down the nose to the corners of the mouth. When we are young, the wrinkles are almost invisible. As the skin ages and the skin gets thinner,  wrinkles get deeper since the skin loses its elasticity. Dermal filler is a great option to address the issues of nasolabial folds. They smooth the wrinkles and fill in the areas of depression. At She’s plastic surgery clinic you will have the treatment area numbed with an anesthetic. To reduce the possibilities of bruising, the doctor may use either cannulas or small needles to meet your goals. Our main certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kim Kyung Ho administers dermal filler treatment with artistic precision to ensure the best aesthetic results. The treatment usually takes around 5-10 minutes. You may have slight swelling and bruising after the treatment. Rest assured that hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and highly effective in treating nasolabial folds.

Facial laser peel for better skin texture

Image
  Carbon Peel is a famous laser treatment that treats numerous skin problems. It is highly beneficial for people with enlarged pores, acne, post-acnes, and blackheads. It is a highly effective method of exfoliating skin surface and making it much smoother and softer. The liquid carbon is applied before the treatment. During the treatment, the light energy passes over your skin, attracts the carbon particles, which makes the carbon lotion get destroyed. The heat penetrates the skin and exfoliates it. This process removes excessive sebum, dead skin cells, and various skin contaminations. It improves skin tone, texture and stimulates collagen production for wrinkle removal. If you want to get a long-term effect, we would recommend you to get 3-5 sessions of Carbon Peel. Each session is spaced out 3 weeks apart.  More about Carbon peel

What is the difference between IPL and other lasers?

Image
    The full name of IPL is Intense pulsed light. It is a procedure similar to laser treatments used to remove or improve wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation, sun damage. In this post, I am going to explain how IPL is different from other lasers. Laser treatments use just only one wavelength of light on the entire skin. However, IPL focuses on many different light wavelengths. IPL enters the deep down to the second layer of the skin, called the dermis, while not damaging the epidermis. The heat coming from IPL absorbs skin pigmentation and cleans the skin from freckles or spots.     After the IPL procedure, it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, waxing, all kinds of chemical peels. Therefore, it is important to put a sunscreen regularly after the IPL. The skin may get dry after lPL. That is why it is important to apply moisturizer or sheet masks at night.

Facial fat lipolysis

Image
  With age many people face the uneven redistribution of facial fat on the mid and lower facial areas. The skin looks uneven with sagging cheeks and chin. These specific areas with stubborn fat tissue are hard to treat with exercises and non-invasive treatments. Facial fat lipolysis is an injectable treatment that dissolves the localized fat areas, and melts them down. Fat lipolysis injection doesn’t cause much pain, since we apply the anesthetic cream before the treatment. At SHE’S Plastic Surgery Clinic, we use a premium facial fat lipolysis solution called Decenba. It includes highly effective ingredients to accelerate the metabolism of fat cells. It gradually destroys the stubborn fat cells, and removes them from body. It is a relatively simple treatment that doesn’t interfere with the everyday life. You will need to get a course of treatment including 3-5 sessions at an interval of 2 weeks to see the best results. More about Fat lipolysis

What is Doublo Gold lift?

  Due to the aging process, our skin loses its elasticity. It affects facial as well as neck skin which starts to gradually sag. Though there are many cosmetic products, there is little that can be done. If you are not ready for a surgical method of facial lift, the best possible option will be to get an ultrasound lift. Doublo lift is an ultrasound lift that is designed to improve skin and tighten facial muscles. With the help of ultrasound imaging, the doctor can see the skin layers that need to be targeted to get the best results from the treatment. The lifting process is explained by the delivery of the ultrasound energy, which accelerates collagen and elastin production due to the bodily regenerative response. Generally, the lifting effect improves over the next 6 months following your treatment. You will need to get only 1 session to see the lifting and tightening results. You can pair Doublo Gold with injectable treatments such as Dermal Fillers and Botox. More about Doublo Lift

How to take care of your skin after eyelid surgery?

Image
    One of the most frequent questions that we get about eyelid surgery is regarding post-surgery skincare. They ask if it is okay to do facials or any other skin cosmetological procedures.     You can start having simple skincare procedures from the 2~3rd week after the surgery. However, you should be careful and avoid treatments involving pressing or excessive rubbing on the surgery site. When a great deal of pressure is placed on the surgery site or around the surgery site, it may cause stitch sites to open.     Therefore, you must be very careful when doing skincare procedures.

How to achieve double eyelids?

Image
  Have you ever heard about double eyelid surgery? If not, you can find out what double eyelids are and how to create them.     Some people are born with well-defined eyelid creases while others do not have. And that is why we call those kinds of eyelids a single lid or monolid. Not having double eyelids does not affect your health.     Having double eyelids gives you an aesthetic outlook by making your eyes look bigger. That does not mean that everyone should undergo procedures to create them.     People can create double eyelids through a surgery called eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. Usually, there are two methods to create double eyelids: incisional and non-incisional. The incisional method involves making a small incision in the upper eyelids. The surgeon removes the excess fat if there is any. Incisions are closed with stitches. The stitch out is after five days. The incisional method suits those with thick skin and excess fat tissues.     The non-incisional method also creates

How to remove moles?

  Many patients wonder about the methods of removing moles. There are two methods used at our clinic to remove moles: surgical and non-surgical.     First of all, let us start to define what a mole is. In medical terms, a mole is also called a “nevus." It is a congenital skin lesion or birthmark caused by abnormal pigmentation or the proliferation of blood vessels. Moles can be raised or spread along the skin surface.     Non-surgical mole removal involves using a CO2 laser to remove the mole. The procedure does not take much time, just about 5~10 minutes. After the procedure, it is necessary to change the water-proof bandages regularly so that water does not get into the procedure site.   A surgical mole removal method is recommended to remove large moles. Laser removal of large moles might leave noticeable scarring. Therefore, surgical mole removal would be more effective than laser in this case.     During the surgery, the surgeon slices away the mole and sutures the site of th

What is Infini microneedling?

Image
  Microneedling is a type of cosmetic procedure designed to tighten the enlarged pores and reduce the signs of aging. We use a micro-needling laser Infini to achieve the desired results.     Microneedling entails using a medical device equipped with needles. They make injuries to the skin, and with time these injuries heal by stimulating collagen production.     When it comes to the PRP, it stands for Platelet-rich plasma is an injection added to the micro-needling procedure for an extra cold.     It is applied after the micro-needling to alleviate the redness and potential swelling. Before the application of PRP, the nurse will take blood and put it into the centrifuge. Doing so helps separate the PRP from other substances in the blood.     When it is ready, it is applied to the micro-injuries done by the micro-needling.     After the whole procedure, moisturizing cream or redness irritation balms are applied to soothe this skin. What is important is that you can wash your face only i

How to reduce glabellar lines?

Image
  Before we discuss the methods of minimizing glabellar lines, let us define what glabella is.     Glabella is a part of the body located between the eyebrows and nose. When we frown, smile, or make other facial expressions, the glabella is moved because of the muscles.     As time passes, you might notice some lines or wrinkles appear on the glabellar area. That is why lines on the glabella are called “glabellar lines”. A more common expression for this term is “forehead furrows”.     There are many treatments to prevent the appearance and improve the glabellar lines. One of the treatments available at our clinic is Botox injections.     Botox is one of the most popular injections that temporarily blocks the muscles and smoothes facial wrinkles.     It is a pretty simple procedure that is done, outpatient. It takes 5~10 minutes to get the treatment done.     You can notice the effect after 3~5 days. Depending on the product, the efficacy of Botox injections might last from 3~6 months.

How to combat underye bags

Image
  If you have bags under the eyes. They may have formed due to the weakened and sagging skin. As the skin sags, the fat tissue may move down and give the appearance of undereye bags. Though there are many laser treatments and cosmetic products, they don’t help to de-puff the undereye area. Therefore the only way to reduce the appearance of eye bags is cosmetic surgery. Nowadays Lower blepharoplasty is considered one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical method of removing the redundant skin and fat tissue on the lower eyelids. If needed, the fat can be repositioned. This method is the most effective way of rejuvenating the undereye area and give it a more youthful appearance. Upper blepharoplasty and Sub-brow lift can be also performed at the same time with the Lower blepharoplasty to lift droopy eyelids. With time as the swelling goes off, you will see a noticeable improvement of the under-eye area. It usually takes 3-4 weeks for the big swelling

Can middle school students also have plastic surgery?

Image
    Most middle students desire to get plastic surgery done. Is it safe to undergo plastic surgery for middle school students even during their growth?     Students can do a double eyelid surgery starting from the ages of 15~16 years old. Eyelid surgery is not a surgery that intervenes with the development of the bones. Therefore, plastic surgery does not interfere with a period of growth.     Despite this, it is crucial to choose the appropriate surgery method and eyelid design to make the eyes look natural and in harmony even after the development finishes.     Teenagers can have the surgery after getting their parents’ consent. That is why we recommend that you discuss it with your parents and decide the right time for the surgery.
