DOY JUN Lifting
Lifting Guide
Procedure guides
Full Facelift
What you need is a real lift, not a non-surgical treatment. Retaining ligaments are like roots. Just as you can't move a plant without pulling up its roots, the skin can't be repositioned unless the retaining ligaments are precisely released.
Mini Facelift
A facelift feels like too much, but you want stronger results than a thread lift? The DOY JUN mini facelift. A tiny incision just inside the hairline keeps the scar well hidden. Releasing a smaller area means less bruising and swelling and a faster return to daily life.
Neck Lift
Hard-to-cover neck wrinkles are like tree rings: they reveal your age. Neck wrinkles aren't easily hidden with makeup or non-surgical treatments, and they become more noticeable as you get older. The neck is the most honest sign of age.
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
The cause may be your forehead, not your eyes. Working on the eyes alone can actually make them look more closed in. Lift a drooping forehead and brows at the same time with an endoscopic forehead lift, and enjoy open, refreshed eyes without wrinkles.
Thread Lift
My face didn't use to look like this... It's not that you've gained weight. The support that held your skin in place has loosened, and gravity has pulled it down. Foundation that cakes, lost volume, deeper wrinkles
