Hello.

We are Timeless Mapo Main Clinic,

working together to create healthy beauty.

When skin elasticity begins to decline, the treatment you probably search for first may be “Ultherapy.”

Since it has become almost synonymous with lifting treatments,

many people consider, “Should I try it too?” but find it difficult to make a decision because they are concerned about the cost, pain, or possible side effects.

People who visit our clinic often share similar concerns.

So today, for those considering Ultherapy,

we would like to select and organize only the key points that we hope you will know before deciding on treatment.

Please read on comfortably, from how it works and its effects to an honest discussion of possible side effects.

  1. How exactly does Ultherapy work?

The core of Ultherapy is “regenerative stimulation that encourages the skin to renew itself.”

Powerful ultrasound energy at 60–70 degrees is delivered to the SMAS layer, the deepest layer of the skin, creating microscopic thermal coagulation points.

As the treated tissue naturally heals after this thermal stimulation, collagen and elastin gradually build up, improving firmness.

We should also speak honestly about the “pain” that many people worry about most. ^^

It would be untrue to say that it does not hurt at all, but when anesthetic cream is applied carefully and sufficiently before treatment, most people are able to tolerate it without significant difficulty.

Some people are frightened and request sedation during treatment.

At Timeless Mapo Main Clinic, however, we do not consider it necessary to recommend this routinely.

This is because a more precise and safer treatment is possible when we monitor the patient’s subtle facial expressions and muscle movements in real time during the procedure,

while communicating with each other throughout the treatment.

  1. When do the effects appear, and how long do they last?

The main reason Ultherapy has remained popular for so long is its “natural improvement in sagging.”

Rather than adding volume, it enhances the skin’s own elasticity to smooth and define a blurred jawline, sagging cheek fat, and a double chin.

Because the treatment promotes collagen regeneration within the skin, the effects also appear naturally over time.

  • Immediately after treatment: The skin may feel firmer due to immediate collagen contraction.

  • 2–3 months after treatment: As collagen regeneration becomes more active, the facial contours are naturally lifted.

Compared with immediately after treatment, you may expect the facial contours to become more naturally refined as time passes.^^

  1. Should I be concerned about side effects, such as hollowing of the cheeks?

If you have searched for Ultherapy, you may have been startled by reviews mentioning “cheek hollowing” or a “peanut-shaped face.”

Some people also say that they saw no noticeable effects after treatment.

There are clear reasons why these effects may occur.

Cheek hollowing can occur when excessive energy is used or when energy is incorrectly applied to a thin area,

while a lack of noticeable effects may occur when the energy does not reach the intended target layer accurately.

Ultimately, the difference is not the device itself but “how carefully the treatment was designed for your individual face.”

The thickness of the fat in our faces varies from one area to another.

The jawline has thicker tissue and therefore requires stronger energy,

but the center of the cheeks and the area around the eyes have thinner skin, so using the same intensity throughout increases the risk of hollowing or burns.

That is why Ultherapy has three types of tips: 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm.

The tips must be changed as needed according to the thickness of each area,

and the energy intensity and number of shots must be customized carefully to achieve smooth contours without side effects.

Because this requires such a precise process,

at Timeless Mapo Main Clinic, we set aside sufficient time from the pre-treatment consultation and skin assessment stages.

A physician must first examine the skin carefully, including by touch, before treatment can be performed safely and with a reduced likelihood of side effects.^^

That is all for today.

We hope this post has been even slightly helpful to those of you considering Ultherapy.

To help ensure results you can remain satisfied with over time,

we will continue to provide only the care that is truly necessary.
