Sinnonhyeon midface reduction

Hello,
This is Dr. Park Kibum,

Head Director of GU Clinic.

Many people feel that the area under their cheekbones looks flat in photos,
or that the corners of their mouth are pulled downward,
giving a dull or expressionless impression—
and become curious about ways to improve it.

This is often caused by a loss of firmness
in the facial center axis, commonly referred to as the midface
(from under the cheekbones to the mouth area),
leading to a downward sagging effect.

If only surface-level treatments are performed,
it can be difficult to achieve noticeable results.

"Gradual changes in the midface"

The skin is structured in layers—
muscle at the base, subcutaneous fat above it,
and the dermis on top.

As the elasticity of the underlying muscle layer weakens over time,
its ability to support the overlying tissues diminishes.

As a result, the tissues naturally begin to sag downward,
leading to volume loss under the cheekbones
and more pronounced nasolabial folds and mouth lines,
creating the impression of a longer midface.

Therefore, Sinnonhyeon midface reduction treatments
should focus on lifting and repositioning

the elongated central area upward to restore balanced proportions.

"Emface lifting

for midface improvement"

One effective approach to addressing

these changes is the Emface treatment.

Emface uses two types of energy simultaneously:
radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation.

• First, radiofrequency (RF)

delivers heat into the dermis to stimulate

collagen and elastin production.

​

• Second, high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES)

contracts and strengthens the deeper muscle layers.

This works by repeatedly contracting facial muscles,
similar to exercise, helping to restore their supportive strength.

By targeting both the dermis and muscle layers,
it aims to lift both the surface and deeper structures together.

"Enhanced results

with Mint thread lifting"

When combined with Mint thread lifting,
the effects can be further enhanced.

Mint threads use a barbed structure
to physically lift sagging tissues upward.

In cases where midface volume has shifted downward,
repositioning it upward helps create
a more defined facial contour.

Especially when the midface appears heavy

due to reduced elasticity, combining it with

Emface can lead to more balanced and refined results.

"In summary"

Emface strengthens the dermis through radiofrequency
and trains the muscles through electromagnetic stimulation,
helping to improve central facial support.

However, even with the same device,
results can vary from person to person.

This is because the cause of a longer-looking midface—
whether due to sagging, volume shift, or asymmetry—
requires different treatment approaches.

Analyzing your facial structure and expression patterns
and targeting the most appropriate layer
is the key point of Sinnonhyeon midface reduction treatment.
