Those looking for ways to improve nasolabial folds often wonder what treatments can alleviate wrinkles.

However, nasolabial folds are not just wrinkles on the skin's surface, but a phenomenon that appears as internal facial structures sag downwards.

In this article, we will first explore the causes of nasolabial folds and then explain how Onda Lifting addresses these causes.

Nasolabial Folds, Why Do They Deepen?

Nasolabial folds are lines on the face that start next to the nostrils and extend towards the corners of the mouth.

These lines are areas that fold with every facial expression, but as we age, they often remain prominent even without making expressions.

The causes of nasolabial folds can generally be divided into three categories.

First, changes where the fat layer and soft tissues in the cheek area sag downwards.

When the cheek fat below the cheekbones descends due to gravity, it can accumulate around the mouth, appearing as deep wrinkles.

Second, a decrease in the elasticity of the skin's dermal layer.

As collagen and elastin fibers decrease, the skin's ability to spring back weakens, allowing folded areas to easily become fixed.

Third, an overall reduction in facial volume also plays a role.

If the volume in the cheek area decreases, the supporting force weakens, making the nasolabial fold area appear deeper.

In addition, everyday facial expressions can also have an impact.

When the cheeks repeatedly fold during frequent smiling or talking, wrinkle lines can form in specific areas, and skin with reduced elasticity will retain these marks more easily.

UV exposure is also a significant factor in causing decreased dermal elasticity, so it cannot be overlooked in daily skincare.

These causes often appear in combination rather than acting individually.

Therefore, even with the same nasolabial folds, the primary cause may differ for each individual.

If one attempts to address nasolabial folds by only looking at their superficial appearance, it may be difficult to identify the actual underlying causes.

So, What Approach Is Needed?

To improve nasolabial folds, it's necessary to go beyond simply filling the lines and instead identify the fundamental structural causes that led to their formation.

For sagging soft tissues, a lifting method to pull them up may be needed, while for skin with reduced elasticity, stimulation to promote collagen production in the dermis may be required.

If the fat in the cheek area has sagged downwards, it is appropriate to consider that fat layer as well.

If the nasolabial fold area is deeply sunken and lacks volume, combining it with a treatment to replenish volume can be considered.

Accurately diagnosing which factor among several causes has the greatest impact on an individual is crucial in selecting the appropriate treatment method.

To determine the most suitable treatment combination for each individual, carefully observing and diagnosing the facial condition in a seated posture is the first step.

How Does Onda Lifting Work?

Onda Lifting is a lifting treatment device that utilizes microwave energy.

It is characterized by its use of 2.45GHz frequency microwaves to deliver energy simultaneously to fat cells and the skin's dermal layer.

Among the causes of nasolabial folds, sagging fat in the cheek area and weakened dermal elasticity are often interconnected. From this perspective, an approach that can address both layers simultaneously can be suitable for cause improvement.

When the dermal layer is stimulated by microwave energy, it can induce the process of new collagen production and rearrangement.

As this process is repeated, skin elasticity can improve, and the reorganization of the cheek area tissues that appeared saggy around the mouth can be expected. This can be seen as the treatment effect achievable through Onda Lifting.

The important thing is to understand which layer of the face a specific device acts upon and what causes it affects, rather than just knowing the device's name.

It is helpful to understand that Onda Lifting is a treatment focused on improving the fundamental causes of nasolabial folds, such as sagging and reduced elasticity, rather than completely eliminating the deep lines themselves.

The extent of treatment effects and the number of sessions required may vary depending on the individual's sagging condition, so it is crucial to confirm this through consultation with medical staff.

Three Common Misconceptions Before Treatment

The first misconception is expecting the nasolabial fold lines to be immediately and completely smoothed out after Onda Lifting treatment.

It's good to know that this treatment aims to improve overall sagging, so it does not eliminate natural wrinkle lines caused by facial expressions.

The second misconception is thinking that deeper wrinkles can be completely resolved with a single, intensive treatment.

Since nasolabial folds often result from complex causes, a customized treatment plan tailored to the individual's condition is more important than a single, intensive treatment.

Some people think that if they have less cheek fat, lifting is unnecessary.

Even if there is less fat in the cheeks, if the supporting power of the skin tissue weakens, the lines around the mouth may appear saggy.

In daily life, it is important to protect skin health by applying sunscreen and moisturizing sufficiently. Additionally, if you have a habit of chewing food only on one side or resting your chin on your hand, we recommend checking and improving it.

Onda Lifting Procedure at Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic

At Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic, before the Onda Lifting procedure, the design process is carried out with the patient in a sitting position.

When the patient is lying down, the direction of gravity changes, so the sagging tissue may appear to move upwards more than it actually is, making the face look less saggy.

If the treatment area is determined while lying down, there is a possibility that the areas that actually require lifting when standing up may be overlooked.

The nasolabial fold area is prone to cheek hollowing. Therefore, carefully examining the degree of skin sagging and volume status in a sitting position before determining the areas to irradiate energy helps prevent cheek hollowing.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic adjusts and applies output and moving speed according to the treatment process.

In the initial stage of the procedure, sufficient energy is delivered with high output and slow moving speed, and then it transitions to standard output and fast moving speed.

This treatment method was devised by Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic to help reduce patient discomfort while achieving satisfactory results.

Once the procedure is complete, a lifting record card is filled out and its contents are shared with the patient.

Since a lifting procedure is performed on the face, it can be difficult for the person who received the treatment to remember the exact details.

If the treatment details remain on the record card, it provides specific data for discussing with the medical staff what adjustments to make during the next treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why consider Onda Lifting as a method for managing nasolabial folds?

A. Managing nasolabial folds should go beyond simply filling sunken areas; it requires an approach that simultaneously improves sagging skin tissue and decreased elasticity.

Onda Lifting is a procedure that acts simultaneously on fat cells and the dermis of the skin, which can help with these complex concerns.

Q. How many Onda Lifting treatments are typically needed for nasolabial fold management?

A. The number of treatments for nasolabial fold management may vary depending on the individual's degree of sagging and skin volume status.

This is determined through design in a sitting position and consultation with the medical staff. Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic adjusts the plan for the next treatment based on the lifting record card.

Q. If I receive Onda Lifting for nasolabial fold management, will I not have to worry about cheek hollowing?

A. It is not uncommon for those considering nasolabial fold management to be concerned about cheek hollowing.

Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic focuses on preventing cheek hollowing by designing in a sitting position and delicately distributing energy.
