Lefton Firmness care using extracorporeal shockwave energy

It is a treatment that manages skin firmness with a device using extracorporeal shockwaves (shockwave energy). It works by delivering pressure waves from outside the skin into the tissue to provide mechanical stimulation. It is performed on its own or planned together with other lifting treatments.

The nature of the energy differs. RF and focused ultrasound lifting deliver heat to tissue, while extracorporeal shockwaves use short, strong pressure waves to provide mechanical stimulation to tissue. Which approach suits you, and whether to use them together, is decided after consultation.

We consider it for those who have started to notice reduced skin firmness, or who want to plan firmness care together with RF or ultrasound lifting. If sagging is pronounced, treatment on its own has limits, so we may recommend combining it with other lifting treatments.

Which areas and purposes Grays Dermatology applies Lefton to is explained individually at consultation. This page describes it within the scope of firmness care, so if you have other concerns, please mention them at consultation.

It is not recommended if you have an implanted electronic medical device such as a pacemaker, have infection or wounds in the treatment area, or are pregnant. If you take anticoagulants or have a bleeding tendency, be sure to tell us at consultation.

You may feel a sensation of stimulation as shockwaves are delivered, and the degree varies by area, intensity, and individual. Intensity is adjusted while checking your response, and whether anesthesia is needed is advised after consultation depending on the area.

Treatment time and recovery vary with the area, extent, and intensity, so we advise you after consultation. Temporary redness or discomfort may occur in the treatment area.

The number of sessions and intervals are decided after consultation, considering your skin condition and any treatments received alongside. The degree of change and how long it lasts vary by individual, so we evaluate your progress and decide together whether to continue care.

Yes, it is sometimes planned together with RF or focused ultrasound lifting. This approach designs firmness care by adding shockwave energy to lifting that treats layers with thermal energy. Whether to do them on the same day or space them apart is decided after consultation.

Do not rub or strongly massage the treated area, and keep up with moisturizing and sun protection. If redness, discomfort, or bruising persists or worsens, please contact the clinic.

The cost depends on the treatment area and session plan, so it is confirmed after consultation. Reference prices can be found on the price list on our website. Booking is available via Naver Booking, our KakaoTalk channel, or phone (+82-51-710-1891), and consultations are also available via LINE.
