Korea has seen rising interest in looking young and attractive in a rapidly aging society. This interest, which was limited to people in their 30s and 40s, has changed in recent years.
Now people in their 20s, who are also looking to become more attractive, are seeking a simple but effective treatment to fulfill their needs.
“We have seen a steady increase in women in their mid-20s who want to have a thin chin line in recent years,” Park Jung-soo, head of the M Aesthetic Surgery Clinic, said.
Lifting, which is a procedure that tightens skin that has drooped with age, is one of the best and simplest ways, Park said.
Initially, patients considered lifting was risky because it required a precise incision in the face. But with recent developments, the procedure has become more of a treatment than surgery.
Treatments include “thread lift,” a minimally invasive method that inserts special threads to lift and contour the face, and “laser lift,” which induces protein degeneration by applying heat at a certain skin depth to cause tissue shrinkage and collagen regeneration.
The treatments have attracted attention because they are quick and require little to no recovery period. They also provide a long-lasting, highly effective result.
“Although the procedure has drastically become simple, results and satisfaction still vary greatly with the doctor’s level of expertise and experience,” Park said.
