Who is the candidate for Epiticon® forehead lift?
As forehead volume decreases and tissue sags, horizontal wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear while forehead contour starts to become irregular with volume deficiency.
HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift aims to address these concerns by targeting both sagging and volume loss, resulting in an improved overall appearance of the forehead.

Forehead sagging

When the elasticity of the forehead skin decreases, it can give a sense of the forehead and eyebrows descending downwards.
Prominent horizontal wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead

As the skin loses its elasticity, deep horizontal wrinkles and fine lines may appear.
Forehead appears uneven and depleted due to volume loss:

When fat tissues shift downward in the face, it can reveal contours and create an uneven, depleted appearance in the forehead and temple area.

- Forehead as a significant contributor to
  overall aging of the upper face.
- The forehead is a prominent area where wrinkles tend to develop with age.
  The presence of deep horizontal wrinkles and multiple fine lines on the forehead can be defined as one of the most significant signs of aging.
  Moreover, when the forehead loses its elasticity and sags, it can create a descending effect on the entire face, leading to sagging of the eyebrows, eyelids, frown lines, and other signs of aging in the upper face.
  Therefore, addressing sagging forehead tissues directly through Forehead Lifting can provide direct improvement and also help prevent additional aging-related changes.

- The Synergistic Effects of Forehead Lift and Fat Graft:
- The aging of the forehead can be categorized into sagging, wrinkles, and volume loss. As volume diminishes and skin elasticity decreases, repeated folding occurs as facial expressions are involved, leading to the development of deep horizontal wrinkles and fine lines.
  Additionally, as volume decreases, the forehead becomes more deflated.
  
  The aging of the forehead is not solely attributed to sagging or volume loss but occurs as a complex interplay of various factors, accelerating the signs of aging.
  In such cases, lifting up the sagging skin and restoring volume in the forehead can result in a repositioning of overall forehead tissues and an increase in volume which leads to improvement in various aging symptoms that have occurred on the forehead.

Immediate result, Immediate recovery
Difference in Experience, Difference in Result

HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift
The Epiticon®-based forehead lifting procedure involves minimal incisions, resulting in relatively short procedure time and recovery period.
Four small incisions will be made along the hairline then the sagging forehead will be lifted and secured.
The small incisions do not require separate sutures and do not cause noticeable scars or hair loss.

When the forehead sags, the volume in the upper forehead will also decrease.
Thus, HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lifting is performed alongside forehead fat grafting to address both lifting and volume deficiencies that will effectively improve the uneven and wrinkled appearance caused by aging.
How HERSHE Performs Epiticon® forehead lift

The procedure is designed in a three-dimensional manner, considering the degree of forehead sagging and volume loss.
Four small incisions are made along the hairline, and Epiticon® threads are inserted to lift the entire sagging forehead.
Fat grafting is performed in areas where volume is deficient, following the shape of the lifted forehead.

Immediate lifting effect and quick return to daily activities
HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift offers the advantage of immediate effects due to directly improving forehead sagging and volume.
Compared to surgical options such as Endoscopic Forehead Lifting or Endotine, HERSHE Epiticon® forehead lift is a minimal invasive procedure with small incisions allowing for a direct return to daily activities.
Thus, different from Forehead Lifting surgeries that require larger incisions or the insertion of thick fixation devices like Endotine surgery, Epiticon® forehead lift will be performed with very small incisions.

Difference in Experience, Difference in Result
Epiticon® forehead lifting is directed by Dr. Jung Young Choon, the head surgeon of HERSHE Plastic Surgery Korea and developer of Epiticon®, who will be in charge of the entire process from consultation to procedure.
With direct involvement in the development of Epiticon®, Dr. Jung possesses a deep understanding of its characteristics.
Natural results can be expected based on this understanding and years of clinical experience in utilizing the Multi-lifting Unit feature of Epiticon® for forehead lifting.

Epiticon® used in forehead lift has multi-lifting unit properties, performing dual action of lifting and anchoring at each unit.
Due to this unique characteristic, the function of Epiticon® can be maintained even when the length is adjusted shorter.
Thus, powerful lifting effects can be expected regardless of an individual's forehead length. Moreover, deep wrinkles can also be relieved using the characteristic of Epiticon®.

Recommended Treatment to Combine

- Injectable for wrinkle Improvement:
- For cases where the wrinkle creases are thin or deep, or when the muscles excessively contract and create prominent wrinkle creases with facial expressions, combining injectables specifically used for wrinkle improvement can be effective.
  What if the superficial dermis and subcutaneous fat layer are thin? When to reduce the movement of muscles that create expression lines?
  
  Since the signs of aging can vary depending on individual characteristics, there are cases where customized procedures applied to specific aging symptoms are necessary even for forehead lifting. The specialized medical staff at HERSHE Plastic Surgery, dedicated to lifting procedures, can provide personalized diagnoses and suggest complementary procedures that suit well for each person to enhance the lifting effect.

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 1800 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 of the skin with low-level micropower at 590nm, followed by the powerful 830nm near-infrared (near-IR) wavelength penetrating deep into the skin, is the technique used in HEALITE® phototherapy.
The LEDs on the panel are precisely arranged to allow the emitted light from each LED to overlap, enabling interactions through a large number of photons.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Do you use Epiticon® threads?

A. Yes, we do. Epiticon® threads are patented threads developed by our representative director, Dr. Jung Young Choon. These threads are dissolvable yet provide strength, tensile force, and fixation suitable for lifting in heavy tissue areas.
With just a small number of threads, they can achieve tissue lifting effects on the entire face.

Q.What areas are treated with the lifting procedure?

A. We target skin sagging and wrinkles across the entire face.
Epiticon® threads can be used to fixate on firm tissues like the temporal fascia or move tissues from sagging areas to areas with insufficient volume due to the multi-unit structure of the threads.
Therefore, we can provide individualized lifting treatment to improve various sagging and wrinkle conditions throughout the face.

Q.How long does it take to see the effects of the lifting?

A. The lifting procedure is conducted along the contours of each area, allowing us to freely adjust the position of facial tissues.
Therefore, we can improve most of the 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 in combination to enhance overall anti-aging effects.

Q.How many threads are used during the procedure?

A. The number of threads is determined based on the diagnosis. For an entire face lifting, we generally use more than 20 to 30 threads.
However, using more threads doesn't necessarily mean better results. Too many threads may cause pain and discomfort.
Thus, at HERSHE, we use the Epiticon® threads with a multi-unit structure that is advantageous for pulling and fixing, aiming for an efficient lifting procedure.

Q.How long do the results last?

A. Epiticon® lifting 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 through 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 treatment or other scar management programs can be helpful.

Q.What precautions should be taken after the surgery?

A. After the surgery, there may be bleeding or hematoma formation with minor impacts within 1 to 3 days.
Applying light pressure with clean gauze or tissue for about 3 minutes can stop the bleeding.
It's essential to avoid getting water on the surgical site and refrain from chewing hard and tough food or opening the mouth widely until fully recovered.
Avoiding positions where the head is bent forward for an extended period and sleeping with the head elevated above the heart for at least 3 to 5 days is advised. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided for about a month after the surgery.
