The reason why hyphen equipment Sonoqueen can be effective for sagging and wrinkles around the eyes

SonoQueen is one of the medical HIFU machines.

As with other hyf machines, it can be expected to improve facial sagging and wrinkles and lift up effects . In addition, "Eyeshadow HIFU", which is a treatment using Sonoqueen's exclusive cartridge (parts applied to the skin), can intensively care for sagging and wrinkles around the eyes .

In order to receive sagging and wrinkle treatment with Sonoqueen with confidence , it is important to know not only the unique features, effects and duration of Sonoqueen compared to other hyf machines, but also the downtime and risks .

Energy of hyphen also used for Sonoqueen

The official name of HIFU is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Similar to the way a magnifying glass can be used to focus sunlight on a single point, a hyph machine can be used to focus ultrasonic waves on a single point .

In addition to hyphens, machines used in aesthetic medicine include machines that use light and high-frequency energy, such as lasers, IPL (light therapy), and RF (radio frequency therapy). By irradiating the skin with energy such as hyphen, laser, IPL, and RF, heat is generated, and the generated thermal energy can damage and denature the target substance .

Various energies are used in aesthetic medicine, but hyphens reach the fascia that wraps the muscles . In addition, there are multiple types of cartridges that are applied to the skin when hyphen is irradiated, and the depth of energy arrival can be changed depending on the cartridge, so multiple layers can be approached .

Expected effects differ depending on which part of the skin, such as the dermis layer, subcutaneous tissue, and fascia, is affected.

Sonoqueen can be applied to small areas

Sonoqueen is a machine developed by South Korea's Newpong that can be expected to tighten and lift the skin .

Sonoqueen is effective for face and neck wrinkles, sagging, and lifting.

Some hyf machines can be expected to slim down by applying not only the face and neck but also the body, but Sonoqueen can be applied only to the face and neck .

SonoQueen has 3 types of cartridges , each of which can irradiate ultrasound to a depth of 2.0mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm.
Among them, it can be used for fine areas such as under the eyebrows, around the eyes, and under the eyes, which were difficult to apply with the 2.0mm cartridge, and for areas that are difficult to apply due to the curves such as the forehead .

The treatment can be performed on the cheeks and under the chin, and effects such as nasolabial folds, sagging under the eyes and cheeks, tightening of pores, small face, double chin, and raised corners of the mouth can be expected.

Sonoqueen works in three layers

Sagging occurs in all layers

The skin is divided into two layers, the epidermis layer and the dermis layer from the outside, and the subcutaneous tissue (mainly the layer of fat) is below it.
Underneath the subcutaneous tissue is the thin membrane SMAS layer, also called facial fascia, and below that is the facial muscles (muscles), which connect the skin and facial muscles.

The cause of sagging occurs not only in the skin, but in all layers.

Decrease in water content in the epidermis layer, decrease in collagen and elastin in the dermis layer, drooping and changes in subcutaneous tissue such as fat, loosening and weakening of facial muscles, and supporting ligaments that connect the skin and bones. Loosening of bones and reduction in bone volume are also considered causes of sagging.

Sonoqueen can irradiate energy to the dermis layer, subcutaneous tissue, and SMAS layer and apply heat to each layer, so it can be expected to effectively improve sagging .

Improve fine wrinkles and sagging pores by regenerating the dermis

Sonoqueen uses a cartridge that irradiates at a depth of 3.0 mm, making it possible to deliver energy to the dermis layer and subcutaneous tissue .

Fibroblasts, which are cells that produce collagen and elastin, are present in the dermis layer, and when they are damaged by heat, they are activated by the natural healing power of trying to return to their original state .
When fibroblasts are activated, the production of collagen and elastin, which are components that maintain firmness and elasticity, is also activated, so skin regeneration can be expected to improve fine wrinkles and sagging pores .

Sonoqueen can give energy at a temperature of about 60℃ to 70℃, which is easy to increase collagen .

Tighten the subcutaneous tissue and clean the double chin and face line

Sonoqueen's energy can also thermally denature subcutaneous tissue .

When the subcutaneous tissue is irradiated with hyphen heat energy, the fat cells that make up the majority of the subcutaneous tissue are destroyed or shrunk . When the fat cells are destroyed, they are gradually expelled from the body by macrophages, which are responsible for expelling dead cells and debris from the body.

By destroying and shrinking fat cells, it can be expected to improve the collapsed contours such as double chins and sagging around the mouth, and to clean up the face line .

Improve sagging by raising the SMAS layer

SonoQueen uses cartridges that aim at a depth of 4.5mm and deliver energy to the SMAS layer.

The SMAS layer is made of proteins such as collagen and elastin, and just like a protein egg that shrinks and hardens when heated, applying energy to the SMAS layer causes collagen and elastin to shrink, causing “heat shrinkage,” and the SMAS layer is pulled. go up .

The fat and skin located on the pulled-up SMAS layer are naturally pulled up, so the skin surface is not damaged, and the sagging of the face can be expected to improve .

Why Sonoqueen improves sagging and wrinkles around the eyes

The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate

The treatment performed on the eyes with Sonoqueen is called "Eyeshadow HIFU" . A very small cartridge with an irradiation port of 5.0 mm irradiates energy aiming at 2.0 mm under the skin.

The skin around the eyes is much thinner and more delicate than other parts of the body . The average thickness of the skin, including the epidermis and dermis, is about 2.0 mm, but the eyelid is only one-third that thickness, or about 0.6 mm.

The irradiation depth of 2.0mm usually affects the dermis layer, but since the skin and fat around the eyes are thin, it also affects the fat layer and the fascia of the orbicularis oculi muscle .

Activates the orbicularis oculi muscle and dermis layer to improve sagging around the eyes

The sagging around the eyes is greatly affected by the weakening of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which is responsible for opening and closing the eyes and collecting tears, and the deterioration of collagen and elastin in the dermis layer .

When the orbicularis oculi muscle weakens, the upper eyelid cannot be supported and the upper eyelid becomes saggy, making it difficult to open the eyes and making the eyes look heavy.

The sagging of the lower eyelids is caused by the extrusion of the orbital fat, which is the fat that protects the eyeballs.

Since the Sonoqueen cartridge has a small irradiation port , it is possible to irradiate small areas such as the outer corner of the eye from the last position where the eyelashes on the eyebrows, the lower eyebrows, and the lower eyelids grow .

By restoring collagen and elastin in the degraded dermis layer, it restores firmness and elasticity to the skin, and by acting on the fascia, it can be expected to lift the skin and improve sagging and fine wrinkles around the eyes .

If Sonoqueen is received regularly, the sustained effect will increase.

With Sonoqueen, it is said that you can often feel the effect of tightening the skin and making your face smaller due to heat shrinkage immediately after the treatment .

On the other hand, it takes time for collagen and elastin to increase and skin regeneration to become active.

Skin firmness and elasticity due to skin regeneration often reach a peak effect in about 2 to 3 months, so if you receive treatment regularly about once every 3 to 6 months, you can expect the effect to last . .

Sonoqueen Pain, Downtime and Side Effects

Sonoqueen is a painless treatment

Sonoqueen is said to be a painless procedure .

However, in areas with thin skin and little fat, such as the chin and forehead, you may feel a slight dull pain or heat deep inside the skin .

There are individual differences in how pain is felt, but the pain is considered to be tolerable without anesthesia .

sonoqueen downtime

Sonoqueen has almost no downtime . Since the output is gentle, there is little worry about swelling, and even if redness appears immediately after irradiation, it will disappear in about 30 minutes .

It is said that makeup and face washing can be applied immediately after the treatment because the surface of the skin is not damaged, but it is important not to rub the treatment area strongly because the skin is delicate immediately after the treatment.

On the day of treatment, you can shower, bathe, exercise, and drink alcohol . However , if redness and heat persist, try to take a bath the next day or later .

Sonoqueen side effects

Sonoqueen can be expected to have a tightening effect due to protein heat contraction, but mild swelling may occur for about a week .

Dull pain such as muscle pain may occur depending on the person, but it is said that it will subside in about 2 to 3 days .

What you need to know before receiving Sonoqueen treatment

Precautions before and after Sonoqueen treatment

Sunburn immediately after irradiating Sonoqueen is likely to cause pigmentation, so it is necessary to take measures against UV rays . Neglecting UV protection can lead to rough skin .
