Gangnam Lifting, April 31 Petite Center

Hello,

This is Earlyf from the Petite Center at April 31 Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’ll take a look at the differences and effects of Ulthera and Thermage, which are excellent for improving wrinkles, elasticity, and pores.

High-intensity ultrasound lifting delivered deep into the skin: Ulthera

Gangnam Lifting, April 31 Petite Center

Ulthera reaches deeper layers than Thermage

(1.5 mm / 3.0 mm / 4.5 mm) and is a lifting treatment that uses ultrasound.

It focuses ultrasound energy on a single point and creates heat inside the skin.

As a result, it forms strong thermal coagulation points within the skin and induces contraction and regeneration of the fascia layer and aged fat layer.

You can experience excellent results for sagging skin with reduced elasticity, enlarged pores, jowls, and double chin improvement.

Who is Ulthera effective for?

Ulthera is a premium lifting device that uses ultrasound.

By delivering energy to the SMAS layer without damaging the skin surface, it contracts sagging tissue and can provide a lifting effect.

It is mainly recommended when you want to improve sagging in the jawline, cheeks, and cheekbone area, or when you want overall improvement in elasticity.

Because heat can be delivered to the deep fat layer as well (1.5 mm~4.5 mm), it is suitable for people with a lot of facial fat and sagging.

Radiofrequency energy with fast and immediate effects: Thermage

Gangnam Lifting, April 31 Petite Center

This treatment uses radiofrequency, cooling the epidermis and generating heat in the dermal tissue to deliver radiofrequency energy.

The main effect of Thermage is promoting collagen regeneration.

Collagen production has excellent effects on skin elasticity, improving sagging skin, preventing skin aging, improving fine wrinkles, and reducing pores.

In other words, it causes degeneration and contraction of collagen fibers, producing collagen regeneration and wrinkle improvement effects.

Also, because it cools the epidermis while delivering radiofrequency inward, heat reaches the dermis directly, which has the advantage of causing less damage to the skin surface.

Because the energy is mostly concentrated in the dermis, it is difficult to reach deeper layers like Ulthera. So when is Thermage used? Let’s take a closer look below.

The main layer affected by Thermage is the dermis, within about 1~2 mm, and it induces regeneration of aged dermal tissue, helping improve fine wrinkles and skin texture.

So it is suitable for people with thin skin or little facial fat, and for those who want to improve fine wrinkles and skin texture.
