What Is the Right Interval for Ulthera Treatment?

What Is the right interval for Ulthera treatment?

Hello.

I’m Jeon Jae-wook, the head doctor of Lifton Dermatology, which is soon to open near Sinsa Station.

Up to now, I have received a great many questions about lifting treatments.

Thanks to that, I’ve come to understand the topics many of you are most curious about.

One question that always comes up is, “How often should I get Ulthera?”

Many of you may be wondering whether getting Ulthera more often is better, or whether there is an appropriate interval.

Today, I’ll explain this in detail.

(First, there may be people who are unfamiliar with Ulthera itself, so I have written this article in detail for them. I recommend reading that first before continuing.)

When Ulthera delivers heat energy stimulation with a laser, collagen repair and remodeling then proceed in sequence.

In the case of the final goal, collagen production begins gradually about one month after Ulthera and continues over 3 to 6 months.

After that, for the following 6 months, this becomes a maintenance period and collagen production stops.

Therefore, in most cases, we explain that Ulthera should be received on roughly a yearly cycle.

However, as explained above, the degree of collagen production will naturally vary from person to person.

If the response is good, getting Ulthera every 12 months is sufficient.

However, if that is not the case, we recommend receiving it at 6- to 9-month intervals.

Of course, we recommend deciding on this schedule after consulting with a specialist.

How can you make it last longer?

There may be people who want to keep the Ulthera interval longer.

In such cases, other methods can be combined.

In the case of Ulthera, it belongs to methods that provide relatively strong stimulation.

Therefore, if you receive a lighter-stimulation treatment every 1 to 2 months, you can make the effects of Ulthera last longer.

At Lifton, to extend the maintenance period, we plan to combine Ulthera with Titanium laser or ONDA Lifting.

Could it be less than 6 months?

Sometimes people ask whether it is okay to receive Ulthera at intervals of less than 6 months.

Of course, it is possible, but we do not particularly recommend it. There are two main reasons for this.

First, it is a matter of value for money.

From a cost-effectiveness standpoint, rather than receiving Ulthera frequently over a short period, we recommend combining it with other lifting procedures.

The second reason is recovery.

Ulthera is also a form of stimulation, so it requires enough recovery (remodeling) time.

Therefore, if you receive Ulthera too often in a short period, it may actually place a burden on the skin.

The lifting method we recommend is combining several procedures with different principles, within a range that does not put too much strain on the skin, and tailored to the individual.

Of course, to do this, sufficient one-on-one consultation must come first, and a specialist’s careful diagnosis is necessary.

Also, without enough understanding of the various methods and the experience that comes with it, it is not something that can be decided lightly.

If you are considering lifting because of issues such as skin elasticity, we recommend visiting a clinic that suggests a method suited to you, rather than simply following everyone else’s approach.

So far, this has been Dr. Jeon Jae-wook of Lifton. Thank you.

If you have any questions about sleep anesthesia, the sensation, pain, the price for 300 shots, or anything else, please ask. I’ll kindly let you know.
