석촌역 울쎄라 통증이 무서워 못 받았다면?

'I want to try Ultherapy because I heard it works well,

but I’m scared because I also heard some people had to stop halfway

because it hurt too much...'

When counseling patients about Ultherapy, there are really many people who want the results but worry about the pain.

After hearing reviews or stories from people around them, some people are so afraid of thinking, 'What if I can’t handle it either?' that they do not even try.

Honestly, if you hear that it hurts, it is completely natural to worry first. No one likes pain.

So today, let’s take a detailed look at why Seokchon Station Ultherapy has gotten a reputation for being painful, and how the pain can be reduced.

I’ll also explain in detail who may benefit from Ultherapy.

The Principle and Effects of Ultherapy

First, we need to understand what Ultherapy is before we can understand the rest, so let’s take a quick look.

Ultherapy is a lifting method that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound, abbreviated as HIFU.

It works by concentrating ultrasound energy at one point to generate heat deep within the skin.

The heat reaches not the surface of the skin, but the SMAS layer, a fascial layer located deep in the skin.

HIFU energy creates coagulation points there at a temperature of about 65–70 degrees Celsius.

As this happens, the collagen that supports the skin contracts瞬间 due to the heat. It may be easier to understand if you think of meat shrinking while being cooked.

This process first creates a slight tightening effect, and then as our body tries to heal the damaged area, it gradually produces new collagen, which helps restore skin elasticity further.

Why Does Pain Occur?

Now let’s talk about pain. Before explaining how to reduce it, I’ll first explain why Ultherapy hurts when you get it.

First, pain is felt when the ultrasound energy reaches the bone.

Because Ultherapy uses ultrasound that penetrates deep into the skin, in areas where the fat layer is thin, it also stimulates the periosteum, the membrane covering the bone.

At that time, you may feel a sharp or throbbing pain.

In particular, areas where bone lies directly underneath, such as the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, can hurt the most. On the other hand, areas like the cheeks, which have a thicker fat layer, are relatively less painful.

Next, there is also the sensation of heat when the SMAS layer itself is stimulated.

As the hot temperature of around 65–70 degrees Celsius is delivered to the fascial layer, it affects pain nerves.

How Can the Pain Be Reduced?

You may be wondering how the pain can be reduced. One way is to use Ulthera Prime, an upgraded version of Ultherapy.

The most notable difference is that, compared with the existing Ultherapy, the imaging depth of the skin has been greatly increased to 8 mm.

This allows the skin layers to be observed more accurately and energy to be delivered only where needed, which reduces pain accordingly.

The shot spacing can also be adjusted more precisely, so for sensitive areas, the energy can be lowered a bit and the shots placed more densely to maintain the effect.

Also, instead of doing the entire face at once, it is a good idea to divide the areas and receive treatment in stages.

For example, you can try the cheeks or neck first, and later add the forehead or cheekbone areas, checking your own pain tolerance as you go.

Who Is It Good For?

Because Ultherapy is also well known for its effects, many people prefer it. In particular, there are people for whom it is especially suitable.

In terms of age, it is well suited for people in their late 30s to mid-50s who feel that their skin elasticity is declining but are not yet severely sagging.

At this age range, the ability to produce collagen is still fairly well preserved, so it is easier to feel the effects of Ultherapy.

And specifically, it may be worth considering if you have the following skin concerns.

• When you look in the mirror, your jawline seems less defined than before
• Nasolabial folds and the cheeks are starting to sag a little
• Neck wrinkles are bothering you
• You have developed a double chin, and it seems more like loose skin than fat

Seokchon Station Ultherapy is a lifting treatment that can help lift the deeper layers of the skin, but it is best to understand both the pain and the right timing for you before choosing it.

Many people think that all they need to do is get past the pain, but in fact, what is more important is properly determining whether your skin condition is suitable for Ultherapy.

If you receive it too early as a preventive measure when there is almost no sagging yet, or conversely, if you receive it too late after significant sagging has already occurred, it may be difficult to feel the expected changes.

So after an accurate diagnosis, I hope you will receive treatment at a place that can determine whether it is the right method and the right timing for you, so that you can truly experience the value of Ultherapy.
