"If I already don’t have much facial fat and get 600 shots, will my cheeks sink in?

I’m scared lifting will make me look older."

"I heard 600 shots requires sleep anesthesia. Is it really

that painful? Can’t I just finish quickly and intensely with 300?"

Have you come here with concerns like these?

Many people know Ulthera is good, but do not know how many shots they should get.

Even some people who receive Sincheon-dong Ulthera consultations think that "higher is always better."

Whenever that happens, I explain it using objective criteria.

Every person’s face is different in terms of bone structure, muscle, and skin thickness, so it is hard to say that one approach is better than another.

This post was written for people considering Ulthera near Sincheon-dong. If you are looking for a place that does Sincheon-dong Ulthera well, please read this carefully.

Comparing Sincheon-dong Ulthera Shot Counts: Pros and Cons

Sincheon-dong Ulthera shot counts can be divided into 300 shots, 600 shots, and so on.

It is not simply a matter of the number being twice as large; the treatment area and density are different from the start.

300 shots are considered partial-focus or maintenance-style treatment, targeting only specific areas such as the double chin or contour refinement.

So this is often done as a preventive measure for people in their late 20s to early 30s who do not yet have severe sagging.

However, if the entire face is divided into 300 shots, the energy density may be too low, and the lifting effect may be minimal.

This is also why some people say, even after treatment at a Sincheon-dong dermatology clinic, "I spent the money, but it doesn’t show."

600 shots (custom full face) deliver energy densely across the entire face, jawline, and neck line.

Ulthera is a treatment that contracts the SMAS layer (the fascial layer), and 600 shots or more are needed to create enough thermal coagulation points and give a noticeably tighter feeling.

However, many people do worry because of the higher cost, pain, and anxiety about "sunken cheeks."

Customized planning is important.

When treating Ulthera patients, I mainly consider the thickness of the fat layer, the overall facial area, and the degree of sagging.

  1. Fat thickness

If you have a lot of facial fat, the depth the energy needs to penetrate is greater and the amount needed is larger, so 600 shots or more is advantageous.

On the other hand, if there is not much fat, a smaller number of shots (300 to 400 shots) should precisely target only the fascial layer to prevent sunken cheeks.

  1. Facial area

This is something that must be checked during a skin-area consultation.

For men or people with a larger bone structure, more shots are naturally needed to maintain the same density.

  1. Degree of sagging

The fat pulled downward by gravity is often called jowl fat or a double chin.

The more severe the condition, the more overlapping treatment is needed in that area, so the number of shots naturally increases.

Monitoring-based

Accurate analysis and treatment

Based on the diagnosis carried out this way, the treatment begins with real-time monitoring.

The depth of the fascial layer differs from person to person.

Therefore, I determine what is most suitable by checking skin thickness and elasticity through a three-dimensional analysis device like Mark View.

If the laser goes into an area with little fat, it may cause sunken cheeks or there may be no noticeable change.

Because the fascial layer can be identified through ultrasound, this is a much safer method with fewer side effects.

The difference of a small detail matters. It is actually the same with other treatments at Sincheon-dong dermatology clinics, but Ulthera also changes with small differences.

The key is energy density.

The energy must be delivered with appropriate pressure so that it reaches the target layer accurately.

Spacing is also important.

The distance between thermal coagulation points

  • If it is too wide, the lifting force becomes dispersed,

  • If it is too narrow, excessive thermal damage can occur.

So I carry out the procedure by analyzing density and precise spacing.

Which layer is targeted and which depth tip is used is what separates levels of skill.

In other words, satisfaction depends on the medical staff’s judgment in reading fascial thickness.

I have written this carefully for those considering Sincheon-dong Ulthera. Thank you.
