Hello.

We are Timeless Mapo Main Clinic,

working with you to create healthy beauty.

Ultherapy is a representative lifting treatment that uses ultrasound energy,

so if you are interested in lifting treatments, you have probably heard of it or considered it at least once.

However, when consulting with patients in the treatment room,

we often meet people who want to undergo the treatment without much consideration simply because “other people say it is good” or “an acquaintance saw great results.”

It is certainly a good treatment, but that does not mean it is the right answer for everyone.

This is because everyone has different skin thickness, degrees of sagging, and amounts of facial fat and muscle.

If the treatment is performed when it is not well suited to your condition, your cheeks may instead appear hollow,

or you may be disappointed because you do not see as much change as you expected.

Therefore, for those considering Ultherapy, today I will explain how to determine whether it is truly suitable for your skin,

how to decide the shot count you need, and the key points that can improve your satisfaction with the treatment.

1. Types for whom Ultherapy is recommended vs. types who should be cautious

The first thing to do before treatment is to accurately understand the condition of your skin.

Ultherapy delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy deep into the skin, reaching the fascia layer (SMAS layer).

Simply put, it is a tightening method that applies heat deep inside to firmly tighten sagging tissue.

For this reason, we recommend Ultherapy for people whose skin is relatively thick and who have developed sagging despite having firm fat and muscle layers.

In particular, if your jawline has just begun to lose definition or you are concerned about fullness sagging beside the mouth (the deep cheek area),

it can be very helpful for smoothing and refining the contour.

On the other hand, people with very thin skin or little soft tissue, whose bony contours are prominent,

or those who are more concerned about fine surface wrinkles than deep sagging should approach the treatment more cautiously.

In these cases, combining another treatment,

or taking an entirely different lifting approach, may lead to much better results and satisfaction.

Ultimately, the most important factor is how carefully the medical professional evaluates your skin thickness, fat volume, and pattern of sagging before treatment.

2. Is more always better when it comes to shot counts?

There is a question we are often asked during consultations.

“Doctor, how many shots should I receive

for the best results?”

Many people think that the more shots they receive, the greater the effect will always be in proportion.

In fact, this idea is half right and half wrong.^^

When treating the entire face and neck, a sufficient amount of 600–900 shots or more may be needed,

but if the sagging is still at an early stage, 300–400 shots may be enough to create an attractive contour.

If the shot count is increased excessively beyond the energy your skin needs,

it may instead cause unnecessary stimulation or excessive cheek hollowing as a side effect.

Therefore, rather than deciding on a shot count on your own before visiting,

we recommend having your skin condition assessed in person and discussing the most efficient shot count with the medical professional.

3. Why customized design is important

Even when the exact same Ultherapy device is used, the results can be completely different depending on the medical professional’s “design.”

This is because the face is not a simple flat surface but is made up of three-dimensional contours,

and the thickness of the fat and degree of sagging vary from one area to another.

For example, in areas with insufficient soft tissue, such as the center of the cheeks, energy should be avoided or adjusted to prevent cheek hollowing,

while areas with more fullness, such as a double chin or deep cheeks, require planning to concentrate the energy and tighten them firmly.

In addition, because each person has a slightly different degree of left-right asymmetry,

more shots and depth need to be concentrated on the more sagging side to create a balanced appearance.

As you can see, even with the same shot count, the lifting result can vary completely depending on “where, at what depth, and with what energy the shots are distributed.”^^

Because Ultherapy is a treatment with a long-lasting maintenance period after a single session, you should approach it carefully from the beginning.

Rather than comparing only the “price” or “shot count,”

it is important to check whether the medical professional precisely evaluates your facial contours and skin type and creates a customized plan.

If you are considering Ultherapy, I hope you will check the points discussed today and receive treatment that is well suited to your skin.
