"Ulthera is very well known for lifting.

How is it different from Ulthera PIFRAIME?

I'm worried about pain and side effects."

If you are interested in lifting treatments, you are probably familiar with Ulthera as one of the representative procedures.

As more clinics have recently begun offering Ulthera PIFRAIME, many people have been asking how the two devices differ.

Ulthera is known for being relatively painful, so many people are also concerned about pain and side effects.

Today, I will explain how Ulthera works and answer these questions.

Songpa Ulthera vs. Ulthera PIFRAIME

What kind of treatment is it?

Ulthera is a treatment that uses ultrasound energy to create a lifting effect without making a direct incision in the skin.

The method concentrates ultrasound energy at a single point and delivers it to the deeper layers of the skin.

By concentrating thermal energy in the dermal layer as well as the deeper SMAS layer, it contracts loosened tissue and promotes long-term collagen remodeling.

It is recommended for people concerned about mild to moderate signs of aging, such as sagging along the jawline or heaviness in the lower cheeks.

However, it is difficult to apply the treatment identically to all types of sagging or skin thickness, so it is essential to first carefully assess whether this method is suitable for your condition.

Therefore, before treatment, be sure to receive a thorough diagnosis to determine whether the degree of your sagging falls within the area that can be treated with ultrasound stimulation.

Ulthera vs. Ulthera PIFRAIME

Simply put, Ulthera PIFRAIME is an upgraded version of the original Ulthera.

There are various differences, but I will explain them from two main perspectives.

Ulthera

First, the ultrasound display on Ulthera PIFRAIME is larger and has better image quality than the original Ulthera.

One of the advantages of the original Ulthera was that treatment could be performed while directly viewing the inside of the skin, but the image quality was somewhat limited when viewing deeper skin layers.

Ulthera PIFRAIME has an improved screen size and resolution, making it possible to see the boundaries between the fat layer and the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system) more clearly.

As a result, during treatment, the settings can be carefully adjusted according to each person’s skin thickness and fat volume, including thin areas such as around the eyes and mouth, as well as areas with more cheek fat.

Ulthera PIFRAIME

The second difference is that the burden of pain has been reduced further.

In the past, many people hesitated to undergo Ulthera because, although it produced good results, it was painful.

However, Ulthera PIFRAIME has improved energy delivery and distribution, and the treatment time has also been shortened, reducing the overall burden of pain.

The lifting effect is the same as before, but it has been designed so that the stimulation felt by the skin is gentler and less painful. Many reviews say that it hurts less than before.

How to achieve proper lifting results

Even when the same device is used, the results can differ depending on how the depth and direction of energy delivery are set.

Therefore, it is very important to analyze the condition of the skin before treatment and plan the treatment path, including where and how much energy to apply.

In addition, treatment may be limited if there is a significant inflammatory reaction or an open wound in the area to be treated, or if you are pregnant.

For people whose skin is sensitive to stimulation or who are concerned about downtime, the output and intervals should also be adjusted accordingly.

Therefore, carefully diagnosing the skin before treatment and proceeding while considering each person’s direction of sagging and the characteristics of each area can help increase satisfaction with the treatment.

Today, I have explained this topic for those looking for information comparing Songpa Ulthera and Ulthera PIFRAIME.

I explained the principles of the treatment, how Ulthera PIFRAIME differs, and what points should be considered important.

Because responses may vary depending on the degree of individual aging and skin thickness, we recommend proceeding after a thorough diagnosis and adjusting the treatment area and number of sessions as needed.

Thank you. This was Jamsil U&I. ^^
