Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
These days, when consulting about lifting procedures, I often hear questions like, “Would it be better to get just one treatment?” and more often, “Is there a better combination if I do them together?” As more people want to reduce the number of procedures and clinic visits in their busy daily lives, a method of expecting synergy by combining multiple lifting procedures has recently become something of a trend. Today, let’s look at what combinations may be good if you want to make thread lifting twice as effective.
Ulthera & Oligio
The first combination to look at is Ulthera and Oligio. This combination is considered promising because the layers they act on are different. Ulthera is a procedure that helps lifting by acting on the deeper SMAS layer of the face, while Oligio acts on relatively shallow skin layers and the dermis, aiming to improve skin texture and elasticity. Facial aging does not occur in just one layer; it often progresses in a complex way from the skin layer down to deeper structures. Because of this, managing different layers at the same time like this can help support a more balanced result.
Ulthera & Thread Lifting
The second combination is Ulthera and thread lifting. This combination is easy to understand if you think of it as adding lifting to lifting. Along with its lifting effect, some people describe Ulthera as making facial volume feel more refined. Some also say the face feels tighter and looks smaller. If thread lifting is performed together in this state, the effect of physically supporting sagging tissue is added, which can help the facial contour look more defined. It is especially a combination preferred by people who want to clearly feel the lifting effect.
Ulthera & Juvelook Volume
The third combination is Ulthera and Juvelook Volume. Among people concerned about sagging, it is not uncommon for hollowing to appear at the same time. As facial fat or skin shifts downward with gravity, the cheek area may descend and the area above it may appear relatively sunken. In this process, nasolabial folds can also become more noticeable. If you improve overall sagging with Ulthera lifting while supplementing hollow areas through Juvelook Volume, you can expect a more natural appearance that is not overly one-sided. This can be seen as an approach that considers sagging and hollowing together rather than separately.
Thread lifting can often create synergy depending on the combination, but the same method is not the right answer for everyone. The appropriate procedure and combination can differ significantly depending on skin thickness, amount of fat, degree of sagging, and the direction of change desired. What matters is not the trend or the name of the combination, but whether it is the right choice for your current facial condition, which should be confirmed through a thorough consultation.
