◎Skin Sagging Treatment

・What is Mofius 8?　　

(Right: Before → Left: After)

Insert 24 fine needles (microneedles) into the subcutaneous tissue, and from the needle tipsIrradiate with powerful RF (radio wave) thermal energyThis is the treatment.

By intentionally creating micro-injuries in the tissue responsible for producing collagen and elastin within the skin, we activate the skin's inherent ability to heal itself.

Improving skin firmness and elasticity associated with aging, improving acne scars and other scars, andPowerful firming effect against saggingThere is.

In my personal opinion, among mechanical treatments,It is most effective against skin sagging.I'll do it!!

Because it's effective, it's a treatment that involves a bit of pain,We recommend nerve block anesthesia or subcutaneous anesthesia.I will do so.

・Recommended for:

I was not satisfied with the results of treatments like Potenza or Dermapen for skin laxity.

I don't want to cut my skin, but I'm willing to endure some pain to see real results in improving skin laxity.

・POTENZA

(Right: Before → Left: After)

Similar to Morpheus 8, it inserts ultra-fine needles called microneedles and emits RF energy from the needle tips.

The difference from Mofius 8 is that it performs RF irradiation whileDrug delivery function that introduces medication into the skin There is.

In addition to the dedicated formulation Macum,Rejuran and JuvellookIt is possible to efficiently introduce skin-nurturing preparations!

By utilizing various specialized tips, we address a wide range of skin concerns, including melasma, acne scars and pits, sagging skin, and fine lines.

A needle-free type (diamond tip) is also available, and by continuously irradiating with RF using monopolar and bipolar electrodes with different configurations,

especiallySuperficial Tightening Treatmentis possible.

In any case, compared to Mofius 8, it places less burden on the skin,Characterized by minimal pain and downtimeis.

・Recommended for:

Minimal downtime and as little pain as possible is preferable.

I want to treat not only skin sagging but also melasma and acne.

◎Treatment for Internal Sagging

・HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) (Device used: UltraCell Zi)

 

 

 

 

HIFU is a lifting treatment device that utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound energy.

Concentrated thermal energy is applied to the deep SMAS layer—the skin's foundational layer—to lift sagging skin from deep within.

In addition to lifting sagging cheeks and double chins, it can also be applied around the eyes, making it effective for fine lines around the eye area.

・Recommended for:　

I want to improve sagging without any downtime.

・Borneuma

⸻

・Jalpro Super Hydro/Profilio

The foundation of the skin for treatmentsTargeting the dermis and ligamentsIt is a type of skin rejuvenation injection.

Reinforce the supporting ligaments,Improve ligament laxity and skin saggingand,Lift naturally from withinwill be done.

 

・ Jalpro Super Hydro,Profiling Usage Differentiation

Jalpro Super Hydro: When used in combination with mechanical treatments such as HIFU or Voluma, if Profhilo was ineffective (due to underlying nutrient deficiency)

Profil: Strong efficacy when used as monotherapy

・Recommended for people like this?

I want to increase the effectiveness of mechanical systems.

I have reservations about surgical procedures like thread lifts.

I've summarized the differences on my blog! If you're interested, check it out here:https://biancaclinic.jp/blog/43005/

・Thread Lift

First Half of the Blog　https://biancaclinic.jp/blog/43052/

As explained, increased fat in Sector 2 and overall sagging are major contributors to skin laxity.

Fat loss in Sector 3 causes sunken temples and cheeks.

Therefore, by lifting the fat in Sector 2 toward Sector 3 using thread lifts, we reposition the fat while eliminating sagging.

 

(Left: Before surgery / Right: 3 months after surgery / BIANCA LIFT 6 units)

 

 

Fat distribution changes with age, increasing in some areas and decreasing in others, resulting in facial contours with unevenness. Therefore, liposuction may be combined with other procedures to adjust overall facial volume.

(Left: Before Surgery Right: 3 Months After Surgery Facial Contouring Liposuction + Buccal Fat Removal + Thread Lift + Chin Hyaluronic Acid)

 

⸻

・Embrace RF

 

”Non-Surgical Facelift”Embrace RF, also known as...

Without incisions, RF (radiofrequency) energy is applied from within the skin to powerfully tighten sagging skin on the face and body.

 

Insert the long, thin cannula attached to the handpiece subcutaneously into the fat layer and skin surface.Direct RF irradiationby doing so

Extremely strong tightening and lifting effectThere is.

As introduced in the ”Internal Sagging Treatment,” it also targets the dermis, making it effective as a ”skin sagging” treatment.

Heated excess fat melts away, and by combining it with liposuction at the end, it achieves a refined finish without any lumpy fat.

Heating also provides a hemostatic effect, resulting in less swelling compared to liposuction alone and a lower risk of bleeding or hematoma formation.

・Recommended for:　

I'm hesitant about facelifts that involve incisions, but I want significant change.

Mofius 8, I also want to have liposuction and thread lift done at the same time.

”Treatment for ”Skin Sagging” + ”Internal Sagging"

・Facelift

(Left: Pre-operative Right: 1 month post-operative Deep Plane Facelift)

This procedure involves making incisions along the hairline and at the base of the ears, lifting the fascia while simultaneously tightening sagging facial contours.
It can improve localized sagging in areas such as the outer corners of the eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline.

Recommended for people like this:

can take time off

Even with an incision, I want the maximum lifting effect.

■ The Choice of Well-Aging

I don't think the feeling of "not wanting to look old" is inherently bad. However, becoming overly fixated solely on "wanting to look young" can lead to denying your own strengths and the accumulation of your life experiences.

Here, I'd like to share another quote from Audrey Hepburn.

Growing older means carving life into your face.

（A woman's beauty only grows with the passing years.）

Audrey's lifelong beauty never stemmed from the absence of wrinkles. It was the kindness and intelligence radiating from within her, along with her pride in aging gracefully, that captivated people.

■ What Cosmetic Surgery Can Do

Aesthetic medicine is one option for enhancing your life.

Many people are concerned about sagging skin but hesitate, thinking, "Surgery is scary" or "I don't know what's right for me."

For those individuals, I would like to carefully listen to your story and work together to find your own path to "well-aging."

Growing old gracefully means not fighting against age, but cherishing yourself while making the best choices for each stage of life.

It is also a journey toward the kind of beauty that radiates from within, embodied by Audrey Hepburn.
