How Does Dr. Kim Approach Facial Aging & Lifting?
Start With an Aging Diagnosis
CHANG Dermatology's C-System lifting framework begins with systematic assessment of the patient's facial shape and aging symptoms. The clinic identifies volume loss, sagging, wrinkles and reduced elasticity before building an individualized lifting plan. [3]
Facial Shape Changes the Treatment Plan
The C-System approach evaluates facial contour, skin thickness, skin type and the degree of aging. Treatment is then adapted to the individual's aging pattern rather than using the same lifting procedure for every patient. [3]
Different Layers May Need Different Treatments
CHANG Dermatology uses a multi-layer approach to facial aging. Its framework considers structural changes involving bone, facial muscles, fat and the dermis, allowing different treatment methods to address different components of aging. [3]
Combination Treatment When One Modality Is Not Enough
Depending on the diagnosis, the clinic's lifting framework may combine energy-based devices, thread lifting, regenerative injections, fillers, Botox or other nonsurgical approaches as part of an integrated plan. [3]
