Lifting devices are heavily marketed, and marketing breeds myths. Ever Dermatology in Apgujeong spends a good part of every consultation un-teaching them. These are the most common.
Myth: One session solves sagging for good
Energy-based lifting stimulates collagen that builds over months and then gradually declines. Most patients maintain results with periodic sessions rather than one dramatic fix. A realistic plan beats an inflated promise.
Myth: The most expensive device is the best one
Devices target different layers: ultrasound reaches the SMAS, radiofrequency works the dermis, threads add mechanical lift. The right choice depends on where your laxity actually is, which is a diagnostic question, not a pricing one.
Myth: Young skin never needs lifting
In your twenties and early thirties, heavy treatment is usually unnecessary, but early maintenance can preserve the collagen base before visible sagging starts. The mistake is doing too much too early, not considering it at all.
Myth: More pain means more effect
Discomfort reflects settings and anatomy, not efficacy. Modern protocols aim for the effective dose at a tolerable level; enduring unnecessary pain is not a treatment strategy.
What actually predicts a good result
Accurate layer diagnosis, appropriate device choice, and realistic timelines. Results vary by individual, and Ever Dermatology confirms candidacy at consultation. Booking is available through Clinic in Korea.
