Answering Your Questions About Titanium Lifting in a Direct QnA Session

Hello, I'm Dr. Donggeun Lee from On Clinic. Today, I'd like to provide a detailed explanation of Titanium Lifting, a procedure many people are interested in for improving skin elasticity and lifting, but also have many questions about. Titanium Lifting is one of the recently popular procedures, and we will explore how it works, what effects can be expected, and what special considerations should be taken during the procedure. I believe it is my role to address patients' curiosities and provide accurate information.

Many people worry, 'If I get Titanium Lifting, will my face look older due to cheek hollowing?' This is a very important and understandable concern. Titanium Lifting is a laser-based, triple-wavelength laser lifting procedure. The core of this treatment is its focus on enhancing skin elasticity and achieving a lifting effect without significantly impacting fat tissue. Therefore, you don't need to worry much about cheek hollowing caused by a reduction in the fat layer. Instead, it naturally lifts sagging areas of the skin, tidying up the disrupted midline of the face and smoothing out a previously uneven jawline. As a result, you can expect a clearer and more youthful facial contour. This goes beyond simply tightening the skin, contributing to harmonious overall facial contour improvement.

Many individuals plan to combine Titanium Lifting with other injectable treatments such as Rejuran, Botox, or fillers. In such cases, it can be confusing to decide which procedure to undergo first. We generally recommend having injectable treatments after Titanium Lifting. There are several important reasons for this:

• Potential for injection marks and bruising: If injectable treatments are received before Titanium Lifting, there is a possibility of small marks or bruising at the injection sites. If a laser procedure is performed in this state, it could cause unnecessary irritation to the skin.
• Increased risk of burns: Titanium Lifting is a procedure that delivers strong energy deep into the skin to induce collagen production. If strong energy is applied to skin tissue that has temporarily changed or become sensitive due to injectable treatments, there is a reported possibility of an increased risk of unexpected side effects or burns.

Therefore, if you are planning multiple procedures simultaneously, it may be safer and more effective to undergo Titanium Lifting first, allow for a sufficient recovery period, and then proceed with other injectable treatments to ensure skin safety and optimal results. Before any procedure, it is crucial to consult thoroughly with medical staff to establish the best treatment plan tailored to your individual skin condition and treatment goals.

When considering lifting procedures, pain is one of the most common concerns for many. Many people are curious about the pain level of Titanium Lifting. While it's difficult to definitively say there is no pain at all, many patients report that Titanium Lifting feels much more comfortable compared to RF lifting like Thermage or HIFU lifting like Ulthera. This suggests that Titanium Lifting offers a more positive treatment experience due to less discomfort. Various methods can be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure, so if you have significant concerns about pain, it's advisable to discuss them with your medical team beforehand.

Unlike Ulthera, which calculates treatment volume by the number of shots, Titanium Lifting calculates treatment volume by total energy (kJ). Generally, procedures are performed with two options: 40kJ and 80kJ. We recommend approximately 80kJ of energy when you want to comprehensively improve overall facial elasticity and lifting and achieve satisfactory results by delivering sufficient energy. On the other hand, if you desire focused improvement in specific areas—for example, the jawline or sagging cheeks—or prefer a relatively lighter lift, 40kJ is often chosen to concentrate energy on the areas of concern. It is crucial to select the appropriate energy level based on your skin condition and desired improvement, and this is best determined through a detailed consultation with your medical team.

Titanium Lifting is an attractive lifting procedure with many advantages. First, a major benefit is that there is almost no downtime, allowing for an immediate return to daily life after the procedure, and patients can instantly feel improved skin elasticity and lifting effects. Thanks to these characteristics, it is a preferred treatment for people of all ages who desire quick results before special events such as weddings or important gatherings. Second, it is a lifting laser that can be received with relative peace of mind and comfort by those who are sensitive to pain, and those who are concerned about potential side effects like swelling or cheek hollowing after the procedure. Finally, it promotes collagen production within the skin, which can help improve long-term skin health and maintain a natural lifting effect. With immediate effects and the potential for long-term skin improvement, Titanium Lifting is also suitable for busy modern individuals.
