Why You Shouldn't Carelessly Increase the Number of Ulthera Shots

When you want to improve a sagging face,

Ulthera is one of the treatments

that many people think of first.

Ulthera has a very high

satisfaction rate after treatment.

Compared with other devices,

it delivers the most powerful energy,

which is why you can see

an immediate face-slimming effect.

However, stronger energy also means

there are greater concerns about side effects.

One of the common side effects

after Ulthera treatment is

a “peanut-shaped face” or “hollow cheeks.”

A peanut-shaped face refers to a case where

the cheekbones protrude and the cheek fat sags,

making the face look like a peanut.

You can think of it as being

similar to hollow cheeks.

To prevent these side effects,

I do not treat the areas beneath the cheekbones

or the cheeks.

This is because having more volume in these areas

can actually create a more youthful appearance.

Instead, I focus the treatment on areas

where fat appears to bunch up,

such as the sagging jawline or nasolabial folds.

If the number of shots is increased excessively

and the area beneath the cheekbones is also treated,

the likelihood of developing a peanut-shaped face increases.

Therefore, it is important to choose

an appropriate number of shots

for your individual face.

You may wonder, “Won’t reducing the number of shots

make the treatment ineffective?”

However, I do not think that reducing the number of shots

necessarily means the results will be weaker.

The most important factors

are accurate targeting and design.

If shots are concentrated on areas

where fat appears to bunch up,

such as the jawline or nasolabial folds,

you can still experience sufficient results from Ulthera.

It is also important to know

whether your face is suitable for Ulthera.

If your primary concern is not fat buildup or sagging,

but rather laxity of the skin itself,

it may be difficult to achieve

significant results with Ulthera alone.

In such cases,

combining Ulthera with thread lifting

or considering mini facelift surgery

may be more helpful.

If you are concerned about severe hollow cheeks,

you may also consider a simple fat grafting procedure.

In conclusion, Ulthera

is not a treatment where more shots are always better.

The most important thing is to accurately identify

the areas you want to improve,

then create a precise design

and distribute an appropriate number of shots accordingly.

Undergoing too many shots

or receiving treatments too frequently

without maintaining an interval of about six months

can also cause side effects such as a peanut-shaped face,

so caution is necessary.

Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all information,

listen to an expert’s advice

and create a treatment plan

that is best suited to your individual face.

Please remember that this is the shortcut

to achieving beautiful and healthy results!
