What are anti-aging procedures?JK Plastic Surgery Center
As average life expectancy reaches 100 years, there has been increasing interest in anti-aging. More and more middle-aged people seek to have a young and beautiful lifestyle, instead of simply living a long life, and their spending patterns are changing accordingly.
Anti-aging means preventing or lessening aging. Anti-aging is applied to a wide range of fields including cosmetics, foods, dietary supplements and cosmetic procedures.
In plastic surgery, facelift and stem-cell procedures are the most popular ones. Both are effective for enhancing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles, which are the main causes of making you look old.
Anti-aging stem cell procedures
Adult stem cells, also called pluripotent cells, reside in adults’ bone marrow, blood and fat. Since adult stem cells are able to transform into specific tissue cells where necessary, they are actively used for treating heart disease, degenerative arthritis, peripheral vascular disease, etc. Lately, anti-aging is actively being studied all over the world in the field of esthetology.
JK Plastic Surgery Center provides all three types of anti-aging stem cell procedures: bone marrow, blood and fat. In particular, we are providing autologous bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy for patients with intractable burns for free, using the world’s first approved stem cell therapeutic agent.
Autologous blood or bone marrow is harvested, separated, concentrated and extracted to obtain cell concentrate containing stem cells. Cell concentrate contains an abundance of growth factors and platelets as well as stem cells. The growth factors and stem cells induce skin recovery and resolve aging and skin problems, while they are being combined with each other. This procedure using your own cells is an effective cure without any side effects.
It promotes your cell regeneration by supplying new cells to your face, neck and the back of your hands. One of the greatest merits of the procedure is that you naturally become healthier and younger. Its efficacy is more noticeable in middle-aged or older people. You can see that your skin becomes more elastic. You will attain a natural and healthy complexion and elegant and younger-looking skin.
Anti-aging facelift
Surgical techniques for anti-aging widely vary depending on your gender, age, skin thickness and the cause and severity of aging. Different surgical techniques should be applied depending on surgical sites.
Popular oculoplastic surgery involving the middle-aged includes upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery and under-eye fat relocation.
Upper eyelid surgery improves drooping eyelids in the most effective way. Lower eyelid surgery and under-eye fat relocation reduce bag under your eyes.
If you want to remove the wrinkles on your forehead and glabella, an endoscopic browlift is an effective procedure. It gets rid of the muscles causing wrinkles.
Lastly, an incision for facelift and necklift is effective for removing under-eye wrinkles, nasolabial folds, mouth wrinkles and neck wrinkles and enhancing the elasticity of your face and sagging skin below your jawline. An incision for facelift lifts up sagging skin and soft tissues at the same time after peeling the skin. This procedure is effective for removing wrinkles and enhancing skin elasticity.
There are numerous plastic surgery clinics all over the world including the Republic of Korea. Each clinic uses different surgical techniques and incision directions. Even an identical procedure may lead to different results. Since numerous nerves and blood vessels are tangled up each other in the face, even a small mistake may cause side effects or bring about a disappointing result. Therefore, when you select a plastic surgery clinic, you should consider if the clinic has an organized system, complies with the infection and safety standards, and has competent medical staff.
