Sinsa Station Ulthera: Why It Is Recommended by a Dermatology Specialist

Hello. This is Imiseok Theme Dermatology : )

Starting this week, the temperature is said to drop below 5°C after the rain, so please take care of your health. In particular, rapidly lower temperatures can have a negative effect on the skin. Such weather changes can disrupt the skin’s moisture balance and may cause reduced elasticity, so caution is needed.

Many people want youthful, clear skin, but after their 30s, skin elasticity naturally decreases, and many people feel stressed as they see outward changes such as nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, and a less-defined jawline. In general, aging begins slowly after age 25, but it is also influenced by various factors such as genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle habits. Therefore, it is a good idea to slow the aging process by maintaining consistent home care and receiving anti-aging procedures suited to your skin condition.

Last time, we introduced the 'Onda Lifting' performed at Imiseok Theme Dermatology.

Today, we will introduce Ulthera, a representative anti-aging procedure that has been recognized for its excellent performance and is sought after by many people.

What is the Ulthera procedure?

Ulthera is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device that has proven its safety and effectiveness in both the U.S. FDA and Korea KFDA. It delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin to promote collagen regeneration, address the root causes of aging, and produce a natural lifting effect.

Tips of various depths such as 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm deliver ultrasound energy according to the skin condition. At the point where the ultrasound is focused, thermal coagulation points of 60–80°C are generated, which is among the highest levels in laser lifting. This allows the energy to reach appropriate areas such as the dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, and SMAS layer, effectively tightening the SMAS layer and subcutaneous fat layer to neatly refine facial contours and provide customized care by area. In particular, this procedure is non-invasive, which is its greatest feature, making it possible to return to daily life quickly and with fewer side effects.

Ulthera Lifting Monitor, DeepSee

There are many lifting treatments that use thermal energy. However, the reason Ulthera continues to be loved over time is the DeepSee monitor mounted on the Ulthera device. Through this monitor, a cross-section of the skin layers (the dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, and SMAS layer) can be checked in real time, and ultrasound images can be viewed, allowing energy to be delivered precisely to the appropriate depth during the procedure. Since skin thickness differs from person to person, a procedure with real-time monitoring can be expected to produce more precise and better results.

Is Ulthera painful?

If you search for Ulthera, you will often see mentions of 'pain.' In particular, because it is a lifting procedure that uses thermal energy, some people worry whether it is too hot or whether problems such as burns might occur. Since it is a lifting procedure performed on the face, such concerns are understandable.

However, because the procedure is performed while checking the skin layers in real time through the monitor, it is possible to directly confirm whether energy is being delivered safely to the target skin layer, helping to prevent a certain degree of pain during the procedure. In particular, the level of pain can vary depending on the device and the skill of the medical staff, so it is most important to receive treatment from experienced medical professionals.

Sinsa Station Ulthera — various procedures using tips

Recommended candidates for Ulthera lifting

• People whose cheeks have sagged, making nasolabial folds more noticeable

• People who want to improve their impression because of buccal fat in the cheek area

• People who are concerned that a double chin makes their face look dull

• People looking for a lifting treatment with a long maintenance period

• People who want to see both lifting and tightening effects at once

Sinsa Station Ulthera — recommended for these people.

The effects of the Ulthera procedure vary from person to person, but in general, you can expect the effect to last about 6 months to 1 year after the procedure. Because this is a lifting treatment that uses high heat, problems may occur if it is performed incorrectly. Therefore, it is important to visit a dermatology clinic with experienced dermatology specialists on site and, through consultation with a specialist, receive a procedure suited to your skin condition.
