Hello. This is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Today, I’d like to talk about Ulthera lifting, one of the procedures we get asked about most often during consultations. Many people have heard of Ulthera lifting in general, but there are also many who wonder exactly how it works. If you feel like Ulthera doesn’t work, please pay attention today!
What Is Ulthera Lifting?
Ulthera is a lifting procedure that delivers energy deep into the skin using ultrasound energy. The ultrasound generated by the device is transmitted through the liquid inside the tip as a medium, then focused at a single point through the membrane on the skin surface to act precisely at the desired depth. Thanks to this method, it can deliver energy to the layer needed for Ulthera lifting while minimizing damage to the outer skin.
The ‘Tip’ That Affects Whether Ulthera Seems Ineffective
One of the factors that affects whether Ulthera seems ineffective is the condition of the tip. If the tip is used repeatedly or a refurbished tip is used, the liquid inside may evaporate or the membrane may be damaged. In that case, the energy may not be delivered evenly. As a result, the effectiveness of Ulthera may decrease, or energy may concentrate excessively in a specific area, increasing the risk of side effects such as hollowness, burns, and blisters. Therefore, whether genuine tips are used has a direct impact on both the effectiveness and safety of Ulthera.
Why a Genuine Ulthera Certificate Matters
When a genuine Ulthera tip is used, a certificate of authenticity is issued together with it. The certificate includes the clinic information, procedure date, and number of shots, and stickers matching the number of shots are also provided. These stickers are designed so that a QR code appears when the outer layer is peeled off, allowing authenticity to be verified through a dedicated application. This certificate is issued together with the purchase of the tip and is designed to be difficult to counterfeit.
If You Use a Refurbished Tip
Sometimes, a refurbished tip is used to reduce costs, but in such cases, the accuracy of energy delivery cannot be ruled out as being lower. In particular, since Ulthera is a procedure in which where and how accurately the energy is delivered is the key, an unstable tip condition can make it difficult to achieve the expected Ulthera effect and may relatively increase the risk of side effects. So when you are concerned that Ulthera doesn’t work, it is important to check not only the number of shots or the price, but also whether genuine tips are used and whether the verification process is in place.
If you feel that Ulthera is not working, it is a good idea to personally confirm during consultation whether genuine tips are used, whether a certificate is issued, and whether there is a procedure you can check after the treatment. Lifting procedures are not a simple one-time treatment; because they act on the deeper layers of the skin, safety and precision are especially important. Confirming that the clinic provides sufficient explanation and transparently informs you about the use of genuine products is the first step toward satisfying results.
