Men are also becoming more interested in managing jawlines and skin elasticity
Skin aging occurs regardless of gender. As collagen and elastic fibers in the skin decrease over time, elasticity around the cheeks and jaw may decline. The jawline may become less defined than before, or the face may look heavier overall.
Recently, more men have also been considering lifting procedures to manage these changes.
However, there are large individual differences in men’s skin thickness, fat distribution, and the skeletal structure of the jaw and cheekbones. Therefore, rather than simply choosing a strong lifting device, it is important to first check what changes are needed in the current face.
If skin elasticity is your concern
radiofrequency lifting such as Density High and Oligio
If the concern is not a sudden change in facial contours but rather skin feeling looser and less elastic than before, radiofrequency lifting can be considered.
Representative options include Density High, Oligio, and Thermage FLX.
Radiofrequency lifting is used by delivering radiofrequency energy to skin tissue to generate heat. It can be one of the options when you want to manage skin elasticity, skin texture, and facial contours together.
In particular, for men with relatively thick skin or concerns about reduced elasticity around the cheeks and jaw, it is advisable to diagnose the skin condition first and then determine the appropriate device and energy settings.
If the jawline and double chin are your concern, ultrasound lifting such as Ulthera Prime and Shurink Universe
If the greater concern is sagging around the jawline, double chin, or cheeks rather than surface skin elasticity, ultrasound lifting can be considered.
Typical devices include Ulthera Prime and Shurink Universe.
Ultrasound lifting is used by delivering focused ultrasound energy to a specific depth. Rather than treating the entire face the same way, it is important to approach the areas that need care, such as the jawline and around the cheeks, separately.
In particular, for men with little facial fat, over-treating the cheeks or cheekbone area may lead to changes different from the desired face shape. Therefore, facial fat distribution and bone structure should be checked together.
If both skin elasticity and facial contours are a concern, a combined approach may also be considered
Men’s facial concerns do not arise from just one cause.
For example, the skin itself may have lost elasticity while the jawline has also become less defined. In such cases, depending on the skin condition, radiofrequency lifting such as Density High or Oligio and ultrasound lifting such as Ulthera Prime or Shurink Universe may be considered together.
Radiofrequency and ultrasound differ in how they deliver energy and in their main areas of application. Therefore, rather than using many devices, it is important to first determine why each device is needed.
Men with little facial fat need a more careful approach
One type that requires particular caution in male lifting is a face with little volume and a defined bone structure.
For such faces, rather than simply applying strong energy to sharpen the jawline, it is important to distinguish between the volume that should be preserved and the areas that need improvement.
For example, it is necessary to separate areas where volume loss is a concern from areas that need skin elasticity management, and adjust the treatment range and intensity of the radiofrequency or ultrasound device.
More important than the device name is where and how it is applied
There are many types of lifting devices, such as Density High, Oligio, Thermage FLX, Ulthera Prime, and Shurink Universe.
However, just because a device is well known does not mean it is equally suitable for every man.
Even among men in their 30s, some have thick skin and plenty of volume around the jaw, while others have little volume and mainly worry about reduced skin elasticity. Therefore, it is difficult to choose a device based only on age or gender.
Before treatment, it is important to check skin thickness and elasticity, fat distribution, and the condition of the facial bones and volume together.
For male lifting, maintaining a natural facial line is important
Male lifting needs to be approached not simply with the goal of making the face smaller, but in a way that manages areas with reduced elasticity while preserving existing facial features.
It is important to distinguish the areas where the jawline should be maintained and the volume should be preserved, and to determine the appropriate device and treatment scope according to the individual’s facial structure.
Therefore, rather than choosing based only on reviews or popularity of a specific device, it is advisable to make a lifting plan suitable for your skin condition and facial structure through sufficient consultation with medical staff.
