During the change of seasons, skin condition is prone to a rapid decline due to large daily temperature fluctuations and drastic changes in humidity. In such an environment, the skin's oil-water balance is disrupted, leading to a lack of moisture deep within the skin and a decrease in elasticity. The skin barrier also weakens, causing the skin to become dry and rough, while sagging and fine lines become more prominent.

During the transitional seasons, when skin balance is easily disrupted by changes in the external environment, treatments that replenish elasticity and moisture from deep within the skin are beneficial. Depending on individual skin characteristics and symptoms, you can restore skin balance and improve elasticity through appropriate seasonal skin treatments such as Ulthera, Thermage FLX, and Skin Boosters.

Ulthera is a lifting procedure that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy to deliver power deep into the SMAS layer of the skin, tightening sagging tissues. It improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles without damaging the skin surface, making it effective for improving skin firmness during seasonal changes. As a non-invasive method, it has a short recovery period, allowing you to receive the treatment without burden even on a busy schedule.

Thermage FLX is a procedure that uses radio frequency (RF) energy to induce collagen regeneration deep within the skin. Through this, it helps strengthen skin elasticity, improve fine lines, refine skin texture, and provide a tightening effect, restoring firmness to dry and dull skin during seasonal changes. Since collagen continues to be generated gradually even after the procedure, long-lasting skin improvement effects can be expected.

Skin booster treatments improve the skin's environment by directly supplying moisture and nutrients deep into the skin. Suitable for restoring hydration, improving skin tone, and preventing fine lines, they offer a soothing effect for sensitive skin during seasonal changes. Representative treatments include Rejuran and Juvelook.

Rejuran utilizes PN, a skin regeneration ingredient, to promote the recovery and regeneration of damaged skin. It regulates the skin's oil-water balance to improve hydration, and helps strengthen skin elasticity and thickness while reducing fine lines. Juvelook combines PLA and hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin and provides immediate hydration to dry skin. It improves skin elasticity and volume, and offers effects such as reducing fine lines, shrinking pores, and evening out skin tone.

Dr. Lee Dong-yoon, director of 1mm Plastic Surgery, stated, “As skin tends to become sensitive to external stimuli and dry during the changing seasons, it is necessary to plan customized skin treatments optimized for an individual’s skin condition.” He added, “If you receive appropriate treatments that help improve elasticity, such as Ulthera or Thermage FLX, or treatments that boost skin condition, such as skin boosters, it helps maintain healthy and elastic skin.”

He added, “Since the appropriate procedure, energy intensity, and treatment interval must be applied differently depending on the individual’s skin type and current condition, it is advisable to consult thoroughly with a plastic surgeon before the procedure to select a procedure suitable for one’s skin condition.”
