Introduction
Choose different skin-lifting methods according to age and degree of skin laxity. The latest clinical techniques for skin tightening primarily include hyaluronic acid injections, manual massage, and facelift surgery. For severe skin sagging, individuals may also opt for facelift surgery at a professional hospital. As aging inevitably leads to skin laxity and drooping, it is recommended to maintain proper daily skincare.
As age increases, the loss of collagen in the skin gradually accelerates, leading to progressive facial sagging and laxity. Currently, the latest clinical techniques for skin lifting and tightening primarily include hyaluronic acid injections, manual massage, and facelift surgery. The procedures are as follows:
1. Hyaluronic acid injection: Prior to the procedure, the physician designs the injection sites and determines the required dosage based on the patient's needs. Local anesthesia is then administered, followed by disinfection of the face. Injections are performed according to the preoperative plan, typically targeting areas such as the cheekbones, lateral face, tear troughs, and nasolabial folds.
2. Manual massage: Apply skincare products onto the face and dispense an appropriate amount onto the palms. Warm and spread evenly, then gently massage in circular motions from top to bottom and from inside out until the products are fully absorbed.
3. Facelift surgery: The doctor uses a syringe to inject anesthetic into the facial area for local anesthesia. Then, following the pre-designed incision plan, a vertical incision of 5–6 cm is made, extending down to the deep fascia layer. Excess fat and skin are removed. The facial skin is then lifted upward and backward, sutured, and a drainage strip is placed.
