During seasonal transitions, skin condition can rapidly deteriorate due to significant daily temperature fluctuations and abrupt changes in humidity. In such environments, the skin's oil-water balance is disrupted, leading to a lack of moisture within the skin and decreased elasticity. The skin barrier also weakens, causing the skin to become dry and rough, and making sagging or fine lines more prominent.
As skin balance is easily compromised by external environmental changes during seasonal transitions, treatments that replenish elasticity and moisture from within the skin can be beneficial. Depending on an individual's skin characteristics and symptoms, appropriate seasonal skin treatments such as Ultherapy, Thermage FLX, or skin boosters can help restore skin balance and improve elasticity.
Ultherapy is a lifting procedure that utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy, delivering energy to the skin's SMAS layer to tighten sagging tissues. It effectively improves the elasticity and wrinkles of sagging skin during seasonal changes without damaging the skin surface. As it is a non-invasive method, the recovery period is short, allowing individuals with busy schedules to receive the treatment without much burden.
Thermage FLX is a procedure that induces collagen regeneration within the skin using radiofrequency (RF) energy. This helps strengthen skin elasticity, improve fine lines, refine skin texture, and tighten the skin, providing a sense of elasticity to dry and dull skin during seasonal transitions. Collagen is gradually produced even after the treatment, allowing for long-term skin improvement effects.
Skin booster treatments directly supply moisture and nutrients deep into the skin to improve the skin environment. They are suitable for restoring hydration, improving skin tone, and preventing fine lines, offering a calming effect on sensitive skin during seasonal changes. Representative treatments include Rejuran and Juvelook.
Rejuran utilizes PN, a skin regenerating ingredient, to promote the recovery of damaged skin and skin regeneration. It adjusts the skin's oil-water balance to improve skin moisture, and helps strengthen skin elasticity and thickness, as well as alleviate fine lines. Juvelook combines PLA and hyaluronic acid to promote collagen production within the skin and provide immediate hydration to dry skin. It can improve skin elasticity and volume, and offers effects such as reducing fine lines, minimizing pores, and refining skin tone.
Director Lee Dong-yoon of 1mm Plastic Surgery stated, ‘During seasonal transitions, the skin tends to become sensitive and dry due to external stimuli, so it is crucial to plan customized seasonal skin treatments optimized for an individual's skin condition.’ He added, ‘Receiving appropriate treatments, such as those that improve elasticity like Ultherapy or Thermage FLX, or those that boost skin condition like skin boosters, can help maintain healthy and elastic skin.’
He further advised, ‘Since the appropriate treatment, energy intensity, and treatment intervals must be applied differently depending on an individual's skin type and current condition, it is advisable to have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon before the procedure to choose a treatment that suits your skin condition.’
