Seoul Ulthera: What Are the Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions?

Hello, everyone,

This is Director Oh Young-ju of Hongdae Oblige Clinic. :)

If you search the internet, there are really so many stories about Ulthera.

From reviews like, “Ulthera works amazingly!” to reactions like, “It doesn’t work very well.”

And with promotional wording added by hospitals on top of that, it’s true that it becomes even more confusing about whose words to trust.^^;

“How many shots do you need for Ulthera to be effective?”

“I’ve heard it hurts a lot—can you really tolerate it?”

“Which hospital should I go to in order to get the procedure done properly?”

Even while worrying about these things, it can be hard to find an accurate answer, so many people end up deciding based only on ads or reviews.

However, lifting procedures are not something that should be decided simply by numbers or marketing points.

So today, I’m going to organize the three questions I get most often about Ulthera and honestly share the real effects and things to watch out for.

If you have been thinking about Ulthera, I hope you’ll take a moment to focus on today’s post.

Does Ulthera really work?

Seoul Ulthera: What Are the Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions? -1

Ulthera is a lifting procedure that uses ultrasound energy to deliver heat deep into the skin (the dermis and SMAS layer).

In simple terms, it works by applying heat inside the skin to contract tissue and encourage new collagen formation over time.

In fact, after receiving approval from the U.S. FDA in 2009, more than 1 million Ulthera procedures were performed worldwide by 2017,

and by 2022, that number had surpassed 2 million. These figures show that many people have experienced Ulthera’s effects.

One of the advantages of Ulthera, which has been loved by so many people, is that the lifting effect appears naturally.

The downside is that it is difficult to expect a dramatic immediate change.

Because the skin elasticity improves gradually over 2 to 3 months after the procedure,

if you want an immediate “face-lifting” effect, it is better to do it together with another procedure.

Does Ulthera hurt a lot?

If you look at Ulthera reviews, pain is almost always mentioned.

In fact, you may feel a slight sting during the procedure or a pulling sensation deep inside.

However, the level of pain varies greatly from person to person, and it may feel different depending on the anesthesia method used by each clinic.

Usually, if you are worried about pain, you can ease it with the methods below:

• Apply enough anesthetic cream

• Proceed while adjusting the intensity during the procedure

• Choose a clinic that uses equipment with a cooling system

In particular, experienced medical staff adjust the intensity appropriately while observing the patient’s response,

so if you are concerned about pain, it is best to be honest about it during your first consultation.

Where should Ulthera be done?

Ulthera is not a procedure that is done by the machine alone.

Even if the same Ulthera device is used, the results can vary completely depending on the medical staff’s experience and know-how.

Therefore, when looking for a dermatology clinic for Ulthera, you should carefully check the following:

✔ A place that properly analyzes your skin condition

Ulthera is not more effective simply because more shots are fired.

The appropriate energy must be adjusted according to skin thickness, firmness, and the distribution of fat.

Otherwise, the effect may be minimal, or side effects such as hollowing of the cheeks may occur, so caution is needed.

✔ A place that can provide customized treatment

Some clinics sell Ulthera as a “package,” but the package may not actually be the treatment you need.

Therefore, rather than a place that forces just one procedure, it is important to find a place that considers various options to help solve your concerns.

✔ A place where an experienced medical professional performs the procedure directly

Because Ulthera is a procedure that delivers ultrasound energy deeply, the medical professional’s skill is important.

If the treatment is too shallow, the effect is small, and if it goes too deep, the cheeks may become hollow.

Therefore, it is important to choose a place where the medical professional personally performs the procedure and does it safely with skilled hands.

So, I’ve organized the three questions you ask most often about the Ulthera procedure.

One treatment alone cannot change everything,

but if you choose the right procedure for you and manage it consistently,

you can experience your reflection in the mirror becoming more and more satisfying. ^^

Above all, the most important thing is finding the method that suits you best, and finding a trustworthy place that can help you do that.

If you need my help, you can also make an inquiry through the contact information below.

I hope today’s post was of some small help to you at an important moment.

Thank you for reading this long post.

Wishing you happiness today as well, this was Director Oh Young-ju. :)
