Lifted skin after summer: lift from the deepest layers painlessly with Alltite
Hanmi Jung, director of Heal House Gangnam Branch, explains Alltite lifting, which addresses skin sagging caused by collagen breakdown from summer UV rays and heat. The treatment delivers energy to the fascial layer while reducing discomfort, and suitable skin conditions are summarized.
Did you all enjoy your summer vacation? It seems many of you went, as it was peak season. I have noticed a growing number of patients visiting the clinic concerned about loss of skin elasticity after their summer getaways.
In summer, UV rays and heat can break down collagen in the dermis, commonly causing the skin to lose elasticity and the jawline to appear less defined.
To effectively reverse such sagging, energy must reach the SMAS layer deep within the skin. However, many people hesitate to visit a clinic due to the severe pain, bruising, and swelling that can feel like bone-deep discomfort.
So today, I would like to talk about the painless lifting treatment Alltite, which numbs the surface pain while safely delivering energy to the deepest layers of the skin to tighten the facial contours.
Why Deep Lifting Can Be Painful and Cause Side Effects
Many conventional lifting treatments deliver energy by spreading heat from the skin surface inward.
To fundamentally lift a sagging face, energy must reach the SMAS layer deep in the skin. However, because the energy is delivered from the surface, the outer skin inevitably endures considerable heat and pain.
That is not all. As the energy penetrates the skin, unintended subcutaneous fat layers may also absorb heat, leading to fat atrophy.
While this can be effective for those with thick skin, for others it can cause hollowing under the cheekbones or in the cheeks, resembling a sunken appearance, which has raised the barrier to undergoing deep lifting procedures.
In this context, Alltite has chosen a precise approach to safely deliver energy deep into the skin, addressing the two main concerns that make many people hesitate about lifting: pain and the risk of cheek hollowing.
① Energy delivery method
Conventional lifting: heat conducts from the skin surface and spreads widely
Alltite: uses DLTD technology that leverages differences in resistance to precisely concentrate energy on the target dermis and SMAS layers while reducing stimulation of the subcutaneous fat layer that can cause cheek hollowing
② Pain during treatment
Conventional lifting: deeper energy penetration stimulates nerves, causing sharp and intense pain
Alltite: built-in powerful epidermal cooling technology significantly lowers pain sensitivity, allowing for a more comfortable treatment experience
③ Concern about cheek hollowing side effects
Conventional lifting: heat affects the subcutaneous fat layer around the target, raising the risk of cheek hollowing
Alltite: designed to prevent excessive stimulation of fat cells, allowing even those with little facial fat to undergo treatment safely with less worry about cheek hollowing
④ Return to daily life (downtime)
Conventional lifting: bruising or swelling may persist for several days, requiring recovery time
Alltite: a non-invasive procedure that leaves almost no marks on the skin surface, allowing immediate return to daily activities and makeup right after treatment
Targeting Deep Skin Layers Without the Burden of Pain
The secret to being able to lift deep skin elasticity relatively comfortably without anesthetic cream lies in Alltite's patented DLTD technology, which cleverly combines the dermal elasticity improvement (RF) effect with the deep SMAS contraction (HIFU) effect.
Reducing fat layer stimulation while precisely targeting deep layers
① It uses the difference in resistance values, meaning each skin layer absorbs energy differently.
② It minimizes stimulation to the subcutaneous fat layer that can cause cheek hollowing, passing through it safely.
③ It precisely concentrates high-density energy only on the collagen-rich dermis and the deepest SMAS layer that holds the facial contour.
Lifting that addresses sagging while preserving facial volume
① It selectively stimulates only the deep skin tissues, reducing the concern of unnatural cheek hollowing.
② Along with a smooth V-line lifting effect, it promotes collagen regeneration in the dermis, helping improve sagging elasticity and pore appearance.
Epidermal protection through a built-in cooling system
① While energy works deep within the skin, a powerful dual cooling technology keeps the epidermis cool.
② This helps prevent surface damage or excessive redness, allowing for a more comfortable treatment experience.
Alltite Lifting Is Recommended for These Patients
Skin that has sagged rapidly after a summer vacation: Suitable when you need to immediately tighten facial contours compromised by UV rays and heat, without bruising or swelling.
If you are concerned about cheek hollowing side effects: It safely protects the fat layer in areas where volume should be preserved, while smoothly refining the contour lines.
If you fear pain or have thin, sensitive skin: The powerful cooling system allows for a comfortable experience without anesthesia, and it stimulates collagen regeneration deep in the dermis, improving not only elasticity but also a firmer, healthier skin texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. The treatment reaches deep into the skin, so is it really not painful without anesthetic cream?
Alltite uses a powerful dual cooling technology to protect the skin surface, significantly reducing pain compared to conventional radiofrequency treatments. If you are not sensitive to pain, it may be performed without anesthesia, but depending on the number of shots and individual sensitivity, you may feel a heavy heat or tingling sensation, so it is usually done after applying anesthetic cream for safety.
Q. Can I wash my face or apply makeup right after the procedure?
Yes, it is possible immediately. When the energy passes through the entire skin, Alltite uses patented technology (DLTD®) to prevent destruction of fat cells that cause cheek sagging while concentrating heat on the dermis and superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer. Since the procedure does not damage the skin surface, there is almost no bruising or swelling, and you can return to daily life, including washing your face and applying makeup, right after the procedure on the same day.
