How Often Should You Actually Get Anti-Aging Treatments?

The point of anti-aging care is not to get many treatments at once, but precision and long-term management. When Alive Dermatology Clinic reviewed its own physicians' care schedules, the approach it laid out was this: make regular, moderate adjustments suited to the skin's condition at the time.

How often should Botox be topped up?

About once every five months. The injection sites are centered on the forehead, glabella, eye corners, and masseter muscles, with the aim of keeping the facial lines clean and crisp.

How are radiofrequency and ultrasound lifting scheduled?

Thermage FLX is done once a year without fail, while radiofrequency and ultrasound lifting alternate for maintenance roughly every four to five months. This is the approach the clinic's physicians have used themselves over the long term; the point is to keep it going on a cycle rather than doing it all at once.

What about hyaluronic acid, skin boosters, and lasers?

These are not scheduled densely in the clinic's actual practice.

• Hyaluronic acid: injected into the forehead and nose around four to five years ago for a wedding, with no top-up since, and it has held up well.
• Skin booster solution: received Rejuran about one to two years ago.
• Lasers: handled in-house as a matter of course, but because of consistent long-term anti-aging care and stable skin condition, frequent sessions are not actually needed.

Why is frequent treatment unnecessary?

Because after consistent long-term anti-aging care, the skin condition itself tends to stabilize, and the frequency of treatments can naturally come down. In the clinic's physicians' own experience, anti-aging is not one big overhaul; it is a matter of making periodic, measured tweaks in line with how the skin looks at the moment.

The clinic is located in Seocho-gu, Seoul, and for visitors from Hong Kong and Taiwan it sets out a care plan matched to their baseline, without doing treatments that are not needed.
