3 Important Things to Check Besides Mini Facelift Price and Cost Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

Mini-lifting procedure costs vary by medical institution, which can lead to confusion when researching information.

Before comparing prices, there are several important aspects you should check first.

If you choose based solely on the procedure price, you might miss out on important considerations.

The term 'mini-lifting' does not refer to a single, specific procedure.

It is an umbrella term for non-invasive lifting procedures that use thermal energy or radiofrequency to help improve sagging areas in a short amount of time, without incision or thread insertion.

This category includes various treatment principles that utilize diverse energy sources such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, or focus on managing the fat layer.

Even when using the same term 'mini-lifting,' the skin layer the procedure targets or the specific concerns it aims to address can vary from one treatment to another.

3 Things to Consider Before Looking at Mini-Lifting Costs

First, it is crucial to determine if the treatment principle aligns well with the characteristics of your sagging areas.

Facial sagging can largely be divided into cases where the SMAS layer is stretched, or where fat has accumulated and sagged below the jawline or in the cheek area.

The principles of treatments that improve the SMAS layer and those that directly reduce the fat layer have different approaches.

If you choose by comparing prices alone without an accurate diagnosis of your sagging type, you might see results different from what you desired.

Therefore, it is advisable to first confirm that a proper individual diagnosis is performed during the consultation process.

Second, whether the process includes designing a personalized plan for your face before the procedure.

Lifting procedures do not pull the entire face with uniform intensity.

Areas lacking volume, such as sunken cheeks, and severely sagging areas should be treated in different ways.

If the procedure is performed with uniform intensity across the entire face, areas lacking volume may appear even more hollow.

It is advisable to check beforehand whether the clinic proceeds only according to a fixed method without a pre-procedure design process.

Third, confirming how transparently post-procedure records and management details are shared.

If there's no way to confirm how much energy was delivered to a specific area, it's not easy to determine the timing of the next procedure.

If previous records are absent when multiple areas need to be managed simultaneously, the inconvenience of having to create a new treatment plan each time can arise.

Considering these three factors together when comparing mini-lifting costs can help you make a satisfactory choice.

Characteristics of InMode FX within the Mini-Lifting Category

InMode FX utilizes an approach that focuses on fat layer management among various mini-lifting procedures.

This procedure works on the principle of increasing the temperature of the fat layer with radiofrequency, then delivering high-voltage pulses to induce changes in fat cells.

For the pulses to work effectively, the temperature must rise above a certain level, so a sufficient preheating phase is important.

A method that utilizes vacuum suction to bring the fat layer into close contact with the handpiece, further increasing energy delivery efficiency, is also employed.

During the procedure, a sensor that precisely detects temperature works simultaneously, designed to reduce the possibility of burns.

The procedure is primarily recommended for areas where the fat layer, rather than the SMAS layer, is the main concern, such as a double chin, sagging jowls, and fat below the jawline.

Rather than expecting immediate significant changes from a single session, it is common to aim for gradual improvement by accumulating energy over multiple sessions.

Typically, it is common to recommend more than 6 minutes of actual energy delivery time per area and approximately 5 cumulative sessions.

The procedure is usually performed without anesthetic cream, and instead of severe pain, there may be a warm sensation along with a tingling feeling.

Bruising may occur after the procedure, but the extent of bruising is not directly related to the treatment outcome.

Another characteristic within the mini-lifting category is that the recovery speed is relatively fast, which reduces the burden of returning to daily life.

Mini-Lifting Procedure Methods Performed at Our Clinic

At our clinic, before mini-lifting procedures, including InMode FX, we first perform the design while the patient is in a seated position.

In a lying position, the direction of gravity changes, which can make sagging appear less prominent. Therefore, to avoid sunken cheek areas and precisely target only the sagging fat, we perform the design while the patient is seated.

At our clinic, we use only the actual time energy is delivered as the basis for payment, excluding waiting time or handpiece movement time.

We inform patients so they can directly verify the actual irradiation time recorded on the equipment screen after the procedure.

At our clinic, we perform the procedure by flexibly adjusting the pulse duration to each individual during the energy irradiation time.

In the initial stage of the procedure, the focus is on rapidly raising the skin temperature. Once the target temperature is reached, the pulse duration is shortened to delicately deliver energy.

Once the procedure is complete, the amount of energy delivered on the day and the areas of focused treatment are recorded on a lifting card and shared with the patient.

This record can be usefully utilized to understand and refer to previous treatment details when you receive follow-up treatments at another medical institution in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why does the price of mini-lifting vary between hospitals?

A. The cost of mini-lifting can vary depending on each medical institution's procedure method, design process, and energy calculation standards. At our institution, costs are determined based on the actual time energy is injected.

Q. Should I decide based solely on the price of mini-lifting?

A. Rather than considering only the cost of mini-lifting, it is more important to accurately identify whether the cause of skin sagging is a SMAS layer issue or a fat layer issue to achieve satisfactory results after the procedure.

Q. Is InMode FX included in mini-lifting price consultations?

A. InMode FX is a type of mini-lifting procedure that specifically focuses on improving the fat layer. This is something you can inquire about during your mini-lifting consultation to receive detailed explanations.

Q. What should I ask during a mini-lifting price consultation?

A. When inquiring about the cost of mini-lifting, it's good to also check if the procedure design process is included, what criteria are used for energy payment, and whether you can receive a record after the procedure.
