Ulthermage (Ulthera + Thermage), for a lifting effect on sagging skin and a tightening effect through collagen regeneration at the same time

As time passes, the skin naturally changes as well. Typical signs include a decrease in collagen in the skin, which can lead to enlarged pores and fine wrinkles,

and the skin becoming loose and saggy.

In addition, when fat accumulates in the skin, a double chin can form easily, making the face look larger. In severe cases, the boundary between the jaw and neck becomes unclear, creating an image that can appear somewhat dull.

Of course, sagging and loose skin can result not only from aging, but also from environmental factors or other external stimuli.

A small, firm face gives the impression of a balanced facial line and a youthful, rejuvenated look.

To achieve these effects, many people consider various lifting procedures.

Among the various lifting procedures, laser lifting devices are chosen by those who want a non-invasive procedure that allows a quick return to daily life and offers long-lasting lifting effects.

Among them, the representative ultrasound lifting treatment Ulthera and the radiofrequency lifting treatment Thermage continue to remain popular. Although Ulthera and Thermage may look like similar laser devices, their target layers and main effects can differ.

Ulthera targets the deep SMAS layer, so it can be effective for lifting a double chin that has become loose and heavy due to aging, and it delivers thermal energy to deeper areas, making it suitable for cases with thicker skin or relatively more fat.

In the case of Thermage, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the dermal layer of the skin, contracting and regenerating collagen within the skin to create a tightening effect, improve fine wrinkles on the face, and promote firmer skin.

Recently, many cases have involved performing both treatments at the same time in order to obtain the effects of both devices. That is how Ulthermage was introduced.

Ulthermage literally means undergoing Ulthera and Thermage together, and it can be expected to provide a synergistic effect from the two laser devices.

Ulthera targets the SMAS layer to deliver a powerful lifting effect, while Thermage delivers radiofrequency energy throughout the dermal layer, so it can be expected to provide overall facial anti-aging effects such as collagen regeneration and improved wrinkles and elasticity.
