Jamsil Station Dermatology Ulthera and Thermage Lifting: Simultaneous Improvement of Sagging and Reduced Elasticity

Ulthera and Thermage Lifting

Hello, this is Jamsil On Dermatology near Jamsil Station!

The moment you feel that your face no longer looks the way it used to, lifting naturally comes to mind at least once. As we age, the cheeks sag downward, the jawline becomes less defined, and skin elasticity gradually declines! These days, non-surgical lifting methods that stimulate the deep layers of the skin to improve sagging are widely used even without a scalpel. Among them, Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX are representative devices that help restore elasticity in different ways:)

Ulthera and Thermage Lifting

Ultherapy Prime

First, Ultherapy Prime is a lifting device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to concentrate energy on the SMAS layer, the key support layer of the face. The SMAS layer is a structure that supports the facial muscles and fat, and when this layer weakens with age, the contours sag and the jawline can easily lose definition. When the ultrasound energy reaches this depth, a contraction response occurs, helping restore the collapsed structure.

Another advantage is that there is no epidermal damage, so it has little effect on daily life even after the procedure. Once the treatment is over, you may feel a tighter sensation in the face, and as time passes, you can see the contour line gradually becoming more defined. If performed at the stage when sagging begins, it can be very helpful in slowing the pace of aging.

Features of Ultherapy Prime

The strength of Ultherapy Prime lies in its real-time ultrasound imaging system. Because energy can be delivered while viewing the structures beneath the skin, it is possible to accurately confirm which layer among the epidermis, dermis, and SMAS layer is being targeted. This improves both the safety and precision of the procedure. In addition, the upgraded image resolution makes it possible to identify detailed structures more clearly.

It also uses three tips—1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm—depending on the depth of the skin. In shallow layers, it can focus on improving skin texture, while in deeper layers, it can focus on correcting sagging contours! This ability to provide customized treatment is one of the biggest advantages of Ultherapy Prime. Even after the procedure, it helps maintain natural expressions and skin texture, which leads to high satisfaction.

• Real-time ultrasound imaging / precise targeted lifting

• Three depth-specific tips / customized improvement possible

• Fine adjustment of energy intensity / balanced lifting

Thermage FLX

Next, Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to deliver heat deep into the dermis. The radiofrequency stimulates collagen fibers in the dermis, reorganizes the existing loose structure, and promotes new collagen production. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, wrinkles are softened, and overall elasticity noticeably improves.

By reorganizing the elastic fibers inside without damaging the skin surface, it has little impact on daily life. It can be applied not only to full-face lifting but also to detailed areas such as nasolabial folds, the jawline, and around the eyes, so it is chosen by people of various age groups. With consistent care, it can greatly help maintain firm and smooth skin texture.

• Induces collagen rearrangement / strengthens elasticity

• Improves skin texture / tightens enlarged pores

• Softens fine wrinkles / suitable even for thin skin

Thermage FLX

Advantages & Effects of Thermage FLX

Another feature of Thermage FLX is its area-specific customized tips. The face tip is used for full-face lifting, and the eye tip is used to improve wrinkles around the eyes, delivering energy optimized for each area. In particular, the eye tip can be used safely even on the thin skin around the eyes, making it effective for those concerned about under-eye wrinkles or sagging!

In addition, Thermage FLX applies a cooling system that maintains consistent energy output while reducing discomfort, minimizing burden during the procedure. After treatment, the skin becomes smoother and denser, and effects such as pore reduction and improved skin texture can also be expected. If you begin with regular care in the early stages of reduced elasticity, it can help gently slow down the aging process.

Advantages & Effects of Thermage FLX

Ultherapy Prime X Thermage FLX

What if you combine Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX? The effects are maximized by creating lifting effects in different layers. Ultherapy Prime tightens the SMAS layer to correct sagging contours, while Thermage FLX reinforces the elasticity of the dermis and improves skin texture! In other words, one device handles structural lifting, while the other is responsible for improving elasticity and skin texture.

When the two procedures are performed together, the range and duration of the lifting effect become much greater. The facial line becomes more defined, and you can maintain the feeling of tightly firm skin for longer. Lifting is not simply about pulling the skin; it is a process of adjusting the skin’s internal structure and elasticity together! By using a combination suited to your individual skin condition, you can achieve more natural and harmonious results:)

• Improves structural sagging / reorganizes the dermis

• Improves contour / skin texture at the same time
