What is DENSITY?
This is the latest lifting treatment that uses high-output RF (radio frequency) to irradiate deep into the skin and is effective against sagging skin and fine wrinkles.
What is Monopolar and Bipolar?
Monopolar has a lasting effect.
The effect lasts for 4 to 6 months (up to 1 year).
It is possible to heat the deep skin (deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue) in a three-dimensional plane. It is also expected to reconstruct the skin in three dimensions by strengthening ligaments and generating collagen through wound healing.
Bipolar has immediate effects.
Results are seen just after the procedure and within one month.
It heats the surface layer (papillary dermis and reticular dermis).
Increases elasticity of the dermis, reduces fine wrinkles, and promotes collagen remodeling.
By irradiating these two areas simultaneously, you can expect sustained tightening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, as well as immediate improvement of sagging skin.
Time required for density
The total time required for a visit to our clinic is 60 minutes for counseling alone, or 2 hours and 30 minutes for consulting and procedure.
Recommended for those who have the following concerns
Recommended for those who are concerned with sagging skin, nasolabial folds, puffiness around the mouth, those hoping for a smaller face, and those who want firmness and radiance skin
It is also recommended for those who are concerned about the risk of losing cheek fat with HIFU.
