Facial Lifting – Focused on Collagen Biostimulators, Thread Lifting, and Toxin

Laser & EBDs Update: Focus on Lifting and Pigmentation is a comprehensive clinical reference guide written by leading experts from the Korean Aesthetic Surgery and Laser Society (DEMIRE/ASLS). This two-part professional atlas addresses the most current advances in aesthetic laser technology and energy-based devices, providing evidence-based protocols essential for practitioners performing modern facial rejuvenation and pigmentation correction.

Part 01: Lifting Laser explores advanced RF (radiofrequency) and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technologies that go beyond traditional skin tightening methods. The chapters provide detailed anatomical approaches to facial lifting procedures across the lower face, midface, and upper regions. Practitioners will find in-depth reviews of lower face procedures, upper midface rejuvenation, and the integration of fillers, fat grafting, and combination therapies. Breakthrough technologies featured include 6.78 MHz oligio systems, advanced microneedle RF devices, and innovative platforms such as Coolsoniq ice HIFU technology. The book emphasizes the ideal facial proportions from aesthetic experts’ perspectives and explains how our face ages, equipping clinicians with the knowledge to achieve natural, proportionate results.

Part 02: Pigmentation Laser provides authoritative, practical protocols for treating pigmentation disorders using laser technology. Beginning with laser engineering fundamentals and basic theories, the section covers treatment of benign pigmented lesions, solar lentigines, and comprehensive melasma management. Readers will learn the Kaiser Method for melasma treatment, advanced approaches using Sylfirm X technology, and novel ethosome PTT delivery systems that enhance treatment safety and efficacy. The guide emphasizes differential diagnosis of superficial pigmented lesions including freckles, seborrheic keratoses, BLK (Benign Lichenoid Keratosis), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Special attention is given to managing rosacea, pore reduction, CO2 laser techniques, and methods to enhance skin laser effects while minimizing complications.

Contributing Experts: The book features contributions from Dr. Chang-hwan Cho (Dongancenter Clinic), Dr. Gong-chan Rah (Doctor Robbin Clinic), Dr. Ki-wook Kim (Wirye ID Aesthetic Clinic), Dr. Jung-hyun Yoon, and numerous international specialists in aesthetic surgery and dermatology.

Clinical Depth: Each chapter combines anatomical precision with practical technique guidance. Topics include equipment selection and adipocyte biology (apoptosis and adipogenesis), in vivo courses of transplanted fat and fillers, combination therapies using Belotero, Xeomin, Radiesse, and Ultherapy. The guide also covers emerging technologies like titanium-based devices, Onda systems, Red Touch, and Emface for Korean skin types.

Safety & Complications: Comprehensive sections address pre-treatment assessment, sensitive skin management, prevention of post-laser darkening in melasma cases, and methods to optimize patient outcomes. The ethosome PTT section explains how advanced delivery systems reduce rebound hyperpigmentation risk while allowing more aggressive pigment clearance.

Ideal For: Aesthetic medicine practitioners, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medical aestheticians, and healthcare professionals seeking to master modern laser and energy-based device technologies. Perfect for those treating diverse skin types and managing complex conditions like melasma, facial aging, and pigmentation disorders.
