Hello,
This is Dr. Park Gi-Beom,

Chief Director of GU Clinic.

Patients often ask,
'Doctor, why do the corners of

my mouth start to droop?'

It is not simply a muscle problem.

It is the result of multiple factors,
including reduced skin elasticity,

fat movement, and muscle imbalance.

For this reason, treatments

that stimulate the facial muscle layer are needed.

“Why do drooping mouth corners occur?”

As mentioned earlier, drooping mouth corners
cannot be explained by a single cause.

A decrease in collagen and elastin
leads to reduced elasticity and causes cheek

fat to move downward, weakening

the skin’s support structure.

At the same time,
the muscles that pull the mouth corners downward become more tense,
strengthening the downward pulling effect
and making the mouth corners gradually appear lower.

In other words,
drooping mouth corners are the result of combined

effects from the skin, fat, and muscles.

“How can it be improved?”

The area around the mouth is composed of

multiple interconnected muscles.

The muscles that lift the mouth corners weaken,
while the muscles that pull them downward
tend to become relatively stronger.

If treatment focuses only on tightening the skin surface,
the muscle imbalance remains the same,
and only the outer layer is tightened.

Therefore, an approach that considers
both the skin and the muscle function and balance is necessary.

“EMFACE lifting with

a different lifting mechanism”

Conventional lifting methods deliver energy
to the dermal layer and the SMAS layer
to stimulate collagen production.

However, EMFACE uses its own unique technology
to stimulate the muscle layer
and strengthen the muscles responsible for facial expressions.

The muscle layer, located at the deepest level of the skin,
plays a key role in supporting the face.

Electrical muscle stimulation and radiofrequency energy
work simultaneously,
stimulating both the surface and deeper layers
to create a lifting effect.

“Which areas does EMFACE lifting mainly target?”

EMFACE acts on the key muscle layer of the face.

It focuses on stimulating muscles such as:

Frontalis muscle of the forehead
Zygomaticus major muscle in the cheek area
Levator anguli oris (responsible for lifting the mouth corners)

These muscles are central to forming the facial contour.
As their activity decreases with age,
loss of elasticity, sagging, and volume depletion may occur.

By strengthening these muscles
and lifting the central facial volume upward,

improvements can be expected in:
• Nasolabial folds
• Drooping mouth corners
