Ulthera,

Things You Should Know Before Considering the Procedure

�

"I want a lifting procedure,

would Ulthera be effective?"

�

"It’s an expensive procedure, but is it really safe and effective?"

�

Hello,

I’m Director Oh Young-ju of Hongdae Oblige Clinic. ^^

�

As we age, a loss of skin elasticity is a natural change for everyone.

�

When you look in the mirror and your jawline seems less defined than before,

�

or your cheeks feel like they are sagging, many people start considering lifting procedures.

�

Among them, Ulthera is especially well known for its strong lifting effect.

�

But before the procedure, it’s natural to wonder, ‘Will it really suit my skin?’ and ‘Are there any side effects?’

�

�

Ulthera is a procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

�

to deliver thermal energy deep into the skin and create a lifting effect.

�

Because it helps improve elasticity without surgery,

�

many people seek it out, but because the procedure itself is delicate,

�

there are a few important things you must check.

�

�

Today, I’ll explain the principles behind Ulthera lifting and what must be checked during the procedure.

�

I hope this article helps you determine whether this procedure is right for your skin

�

and make a wise choice.

�

Why is Ulthera such a delicate procedure?

Hongdae Ulthera: Why you need to know it ‘properly’ before getting it -1

�

Ulthera is a procedure that increases elasticity by delivering ultrasound energy not just to the skin’s surface,

�

but deep within the skin (the fascial layer, SMAS).

�

Simply put, it creates a lifting effect by stimulating the fascial layer that supports the skin’s foundation.

�

What matters in this process is how the intensity of the ultrasound is adjusted.

�

�

If the energy is too strong, the tissue inside the skin can be overstimulated,

�

which may cause side effects such as burns or a reduction in fat.

�

On the other hand, if the energy is too weak, it is difficult to achieve the desired lifting effect. (It’s very delicate, right?)

�

✔ What happens if fat is reduced too much?

→ The skin may look sunken, or the loss of volume may actually make you look older

✔ What happens if the ultrasound energy is too strong?

→ The inside of the skin may be overstimulated, increasing the risk of burns

✔ What happens if the intensity is not properly adjusted?

→ It becomes difficult to achieve the desired improvement in elasticity

�

�

For these reasons, Ulthera is not a procedure that depends only on the machine working well;

�

the skill of the practitioner is extremely important.

�

It is not simply a matter of turning on the device and delivering energy,

�

but of accurately analyzing each person’s skin elasticity, the thickness of the fat layer, and the areas that need lifting,

�

then performing the procedure with a customized intensity.

�

In the end, to maximize Ulthera’s effects and reduce side effects,

�

you must remember that it should be carried out carefully by experienced medical staff while adjusting the intensity cautiously.

�

Be sure to check whether a ‘refurbished tip’ is being used

Hongdae Ulthera: Why you need to know it ‘properly’ before getting it -2

�

Ulthera is a procedure that costs a certain amount.

�

The reason is that the ‘tip’ used in the procedure is relatively expensive.

�

The problem is that there are more cases than expected where tips, which are supposed to be discarded after one use,

�

have been reused and were later caught.

�

�

There are several reasons why refurbished tips are dangerous,

�

but the biggest reason is that the risk of side effects becomes much higher.

�

Ulthera tips include a ‘membrane’ that delivers ultrasound evenly while protecting the skin,

�

and in the case of refurbished tips, this membrane is likely to be damaged.

�

If the membrane is damaged, ultrasound may not be delivered evenly, which can reduce effectiveness,

�

and the risk of excessive stimulation to the skin may increase.

�

The thin film inside the red circle is the membrane.

It tears easily even if scratched with a fingernail ^^;

�

Therefore, when choosing a clinic for the procedure, you must make sure that refurbished tips are not being used.

�

It is actually quite difficult to verify this,

�

but if there is a clinic promoting the procedure at an unusually low price,

�

I think it is worth questioning whether refurbished tips are being used.

�

�

Ulthera is a procedure that can provide a strong lifting effect,

�

but careful selection is essential for a safe and effective treatment.

�

✔ Check whether experienced medical staff are

✔ not using refurbished tips

✔ and performing the procedure with an intensity tailored to your skin condition

�

Rather than choosing a clinic simply because you heard that "Ulthera is good,"

�

it is more important to first look at whether the procedure is suitable for your skin,

�

whether the treatment environment is safe,

�

and whether the medical staff have sufficient experience.

�

In the end, making the best choice for your own skin is the wisest way to care for it.^^

�

Thank you for reading this long post.
