  • Who is a Candidate for Epiticon® Forhead Lift?
  • As forehead volume decreases and tissue sags, horizontal wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear, and the forehead contour becomes irregular due to volume loss. The HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift addresses these concerns by targeting both sagging and volume deficiency, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking forehead.
  • Forehead sagging
    When the elasticity of the forehead skin
    decreases, it can cause the forehead and
    eyebrows to appear as if they are
    descending.
  • Prominent Horizontal Wrinkles and Fine Lines on the Forehead
    As the skin loses its elasticity, deep
    horizontal wrinkles and fine lines may
    develop across the forehead.
  • Forehead Appears Uneven and Depleted Due to Volume Loss
    As fat tissue shifts downward in the face,
    it can lead to visible contours, creating
    an uneven and depleted appearance in
    the forehead and temple areas.
  • 숫자HERSHE Signature Epiticon® Forehead Lift
  • The Epiticon® forehead lifting procedure involves minimal incisions, resulting in a shorter procedure time and recovery period. Four small incisions are made along the hairline, allowing the sagging forehead to be lifted and secured. These small incisions do not require additional sutures and leave no noticeable scars or cause hair loss.

    As the forehead sags, the volume in the upper forehead also decreases. To address both sagging and volume loss, the HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift is combined with forehead fat grafting. This combination effectively improves the uneven, wrinkled appearance caused by aging, restoring both lift and volume for a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

  • 숫자Immediate Lifting Effect and Quick Return to Daily Activities
  • The HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift provides immediate lifting effects by directly addressing forehead sagging and volume loss. Compared to surgical options like Endoscopic Forehead Lifting or Endotine procedures, the Epiticon® forehead lift is minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions and allowing for a quicker return to daily activities. Unlike traditional forehead lifting surgeries that involve larger incisions or the insertion of bulky fixation devices like Endotine, the Epiticon® procedure uses very small incisions for a more streamlined recovery.
  • 숫자Difference in Experience, Difference in Results
  • Epiticon® forehead lifting is led by Dr. Jung Young Choon, the head surgeon of HERSHE Plastic Surgery Korea and the developer of Epiticon®. He will oversee the entire process, from consultation to procedure. With his direct involvement in the development of Epiticon®, Dr. Jung has a profound understanding of its characteristics. Natural results can be expected, thanks to this expertise and his years of clinical experience in utilizing the Multi-lifting Unit feature of Epiticon® for forehead lifting.
  • Epiticon®: Thread Used for Forehead Lift
    Epiticon® has multi-lifting unit properties, performing a dual action of lifting and anchoring at each unit. Due to this unique characteristic, the function of Epiticon® is maintained even when the length is adjusted shorter. As a result, powerful lifting effects can be achieved regardless of an individual's forehead length. Additionally, deep wrinkles can be improved thanks to the unique properties of Epiticon®.

Recommended Treatment to Combine
    • Injectables for Wrinkle Improvement:
    • For cases with thin or deep wrinkle creases, or when muscles excessively contract, leading to prominent expression lines, combining injectables specifically designed for wrinkle improvement can be highly effective.
      What if the superficial dermis and subcutaneous fat layer are thin, or when there's a need to reduce muscle movement that creates expression lines?
      Since the signs of aging can vary based on individual characteristics, customized procedures targeting specific aging symptoms may be necessary, even for forehead lifting.
      The specialized medical staff at HERSHE Plastic Surgery, experienced in lifting procedures, can provide personalized diagnoses and recommend complementary treatments tailored to enhance the lifting effects for each individual.
  • HEALITE® Laser Treatment After Surgery
  • 1. The 590nm wavelength of low-level micropower is initially applied to the epidermal layer of the skin to ensure optimal delivery of healing wavelengths, followed by the 830nm near-infrared wavelength, known for its deep penetration and strong healing capabilities.
    2. The 830nm healing photons are emitted from 1,800 light sources, creating a zone where the photons overlap.
    3. This zone exhibits healing effects and facilitates rapid skin regeneration and pain relief by ensuring sufficient photon delivery to deeper layers of the skin.
  • The combination of pre-irradiation with low-level micropower at 590nm, followed by the powerful 830nm near-infrared (near-IR) wavelength that penetrates deep into the skin, is the technique used in HEALITE® phototherapy.
  • The LEDs on the panel are precisely arranged to ensure that the emitted light from each LED overlaps, allowing for interactions through a large number of photons.

  • FAQ
  • Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q.What Is Epiticon® Threads?

  • A. Epiticon® Threads are patented, dissolvable threads developed by our head surgeon, Dr. Jung Young Choon. These advanced threads feature a unique double-lock design, ensuring enhanced security and stability during the lifting process. Specifically designed for superior lifting effects, they are highly effective in areas with heavier tissue, offering exceptional strength, tensile force, and fixation. Their innovative structure enables noticeable facial lifting with fewer threads, delivering natural and long-lasting results. This cutting-edge solution is ideal for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, providing impressive results with minimal downtime.

  • Q.What Areas Are Treated With The Thread Lift Procedure?

  • A. We target skin sagging and wrinkles on the forehead with Epiticon® threads. These threads can anchor firm tissues, such as the temporal fascia, or reposition tissues from sagging areas to areas with insufficient volume. Thanks to the multi-unit structure of the threads, which are inserted into the SMAS layer of the forehead, we can provide customized lifting treatments to address various concerns, such as forehead sagging and wrinkles. This approach ensures a more youthful, rejuvenated forehead with natural, long-lasting results.

  • Q.How Long Does It Take To See The Effects Of The Lifting?

  • A. The thread lift procedure is performed along the contours of each area, allowing us to adjust the position of facial tissues as needed. This enables us to improve most sagging tissues and wrinkles. However, since aging symptoms have complex causes, additional procedures, such as autologous fat grafting or facial liposuction, may be more effective when combined to enhance overall anti-aging results.

  • Q.How Many Threads Are Used During The Procedure?

  • A. The number of threads used is determined based on the diagnosis. For a full face lift, we generally use more than 20 to 30 threads. However, using more threads doesn’t necessarily guarantee better results. Too many threads may cause pain and discomfort. Therefore, at HERSHE, we use Epiticon® threads with a multi-unit structure, which is advantageous for pulling and fixation, ensuring an efficient lifting procedure.

  • Q.How Long Do The Results Last?

  • A. The Epiticon® thread lift procedure has both semi-permanent and dissolvable characteristics. The dissolvable threads usually dissolve within 1 to 1.5 years. The longevity of the effect can be extended with proper self-care after the procedure. Additionally, combining the lifting procedure with other anti-aging treatments, such as autologous fat grafting or facial liposuction, can help maintain the anti-aging effects for a longer period.

  • Q.Will There Be Noticeable Scars?

  • A. The procedure involves minimal incisions, and the insertion points for the threads may leave needle marks on the treated areas. These marks will fade over time and become less noticeable. However, if scarring remains a concern, laser treatments or other scar management programs can be helpful.

  • Q.What Precautions Should Be Taken After The Surgery?

  • A. Prior to the surgery, the clinic will provide you with explanations, consent forms, and pre-surgery instructions. After the surgery, the clinic will provide post-surgery instructions as well as prescribed medication. Some important post-surgery instructions include abstaining from alcohol and smoking for about a month to prevent bleeding and infection. It's essential to avoid getting water on the surgical site. Additionally, refrain from chewing hard or tough foods or opening the mouth widely until fully recovered, as this can cause discomfort. After the surgery, there may be minor bleeding or hematoma formation within 1 to 3 days. Applying light pressure with clean gauze or tissue for about 3 minutes can help stop the bleeding. It's also advised to avoid positions where the head is bent forward for extended periods and to sleep with the head elevated above the heart for at least 3 to 5 days.
