Getting the Shot Count Right for a Tight, Non-Hollow Look: How to Distribute Shots by Area

Only with the right shot count does the face look tight rather than hollow. When Dr.Evers Clinic · Busan Seomyeon plans shots for each area, it calculates them separately by area rather than applying the same number to the whole face.

How are shots distributed across the different areas?

Shot ranges differ by area, and the forehead, eye area, cheeks, jawline, double chin, and neck each have their own range.

• Forehead: 200–300 shots, mainly to lift the brow and improve eyelid laxity
• Eye area/under-eye: 100–300 shots, targeting fine lines; energy must be very precise in this thin-skinned area
• Cheeks/cheekbones: 200–300 shots
• Jawline: 400 shots; for a clear contour line, this area must receive enough shots
• Double chin: 200–400 shots, very noticeably compressing and tightening and eliminating excess tissue
• Neck lines/neck contour: 100–300 shots, lifting along the way and improving a tired look

Which area is most prone to hollowing?

The cheeks/cheekbones are the most prone to hollowing, so the fat layer must be precisely avoided and treatment mainly targets the fascia layer for tightening. This is the area that requires particular care among all the areas, and the shot count falls at 200–300 shots.

How many shots are needed for full-face lifting?

Full-face lifting is recommended at around 600–900 shots, depending on the individual's degree of laxity. Too few and the effect is not obvious; too many and the burden is too heavy.
