Which Laser Lifting Is Right for Me? Radiofrequency vs. Ultrasound image 1

Hello,

This is Earlyf at Petit Center, April 31.

There are so many different lifting devices

and many people may not know

what kind of effect each device has,

or which device would be good for treating

the concerns they have.

Today, to help solve those questions,

we will look at the types, differences, and effects

of radiofrequency/ultrasound laser lifting,

and take some time to find out

which device is right for me~!

Radiofrequency Lifting

Laser lifting is broadly divided into

radiofrequency lifting and ultrasound lifting.

Representative radiofrequency lifting devices include Thermage,

and the domestic product Oligio.

Thermage VS Oligio

Thermage is a device well known for lifting procedures.

With radiofrequency energy,

it causes denaturation and contraction of collagen fibers,

which helps improve wrinkles and regenerate collagen,

and the maintenance period is longer than one year.

Oligio causes less pain than Thermage,

but its maintenance period is relatively shorter.

Also, like Thermage,

it uses a cooling system,

but

the time between one shot

and the next shot

is shorter than Thermage,

so the procedure time for Oligio

has the advantage of being shorter.

Unlike Thermage,

Oligio can actively adjust

the cooling system.

So by increasing the cooling time,

pain can be reduced

and the frequency of burns

that may occur can be lowered.

Thermage and Oligio

are effective for people with the following concerns:

▲People with reduced skin elasticity

▲People with many fine lines around the eyes and mouth

▲People who want to improve skin texture

▲People who want firmer skin

▲People with little facial fat or thin skin

Because there is a price difference of more than three times

between Thermage and Oligio,

if you are considering maximum results, Thermage is recommended,

and if you are considering cost-effectiveness, Oligio is recommended.

Ultrasound Lifting

Ultrasound lifting is represented by Ultherapy,

and domestic devices include

Shurink and Liftera.

Ultherapy VS Shurink

Ultherapy and Shurink concentrate ultrasound energy

to achieve a lifting effect.

The principles of both are similar,

but because the detailed technology differs,

the effect, pain, maintenance period, and price range are different.

Ultherapy is

the most outstanding among ultrasound devices.

While checking the depth of the skin layer

in real time through imaging,

more accurate procedures are possible.‌

So the procedure effect lasts longer

than Shurink.

Ultherapy has a maintenance period of more than one year,

while Shurink lasts about 3 to 4 months,

which is relatively shorter than Ultherapy.

The price range is lower for Shurink,

and the pain is also less with Shurink.

Ultherapy and Shurink

are effective for people with the following concerns:

▲People with a lot of facial fat

▲People who want to improve elasticity deep within the skin

▲People who want to manage facial contour lines

▲People who want a lifting effect

▲People who want to improve skin texture

In terms of device safety, procedure precision,

and long-term maintenance,

Ultherapy is recommended,

and in terms of cost-effectiveness,

Shurink is recommended.

The biggest difference between radiofrequency and ultrasound

is the depth at which thermal energy is delivered.

Radiofrequency reaches the dermis,

but ultrasound reaches deep inside the skin

all the way to the SMAS layer.

If your biggest concern is skin elasticity,

radiofrequency lifting is recommended,

and if you want to lift the overall facial contour line,

ultrasound lifting is recommended.
