Bellevue Ulthermage

Redesigning the skin’s structure

Hello, this is Bellevue Clinic, where we pursue natural beauty and a level of aesthetics beyond the ordinary. It has been a long time since many people in their 30s and 40s, while looking at photos taken in their early 20s, thought, “Wow, my face used to be so slim and sharp!” I feel the same way. The relentless passage of time chips away at our facial contours and gradually lowers skin density. Fine wrinkles appear, and pigmentation tends to deepen as well. All of these skin changes are concerns, of course, but I think the most noticeable one is usually the change in facial contour.

Changes in facial contour over time

The most fundamental and effective anti-aging approach is to rebuild the skin’s internal “structural design” within aged skin. In fact, addressing intrinsic aging, which involves the breakdown of the skin’s structure, is far more important than treating superficial, localized extrinsic aging such as wrinkles and pigmentation. That is the only way true youthful appearance is possible. No matter how carefully skin is maintained to look clean and relatively wrinkle-free, if the contour becomes flattened and broad, it inevitably looks older. The laser lifting treatment I will introduce today can positively influence the skin’s internal changes, making anti-aging, tightening, and lifting possible at the same time.

The treatment Bellevue Clinic confidently recommends is Ulthermage (Ultherapy + Thermage). We often describe Ulthermage as a kind of “architectural reconstruction” that goes beyond the boundaries of lifting procedures. It is a treatment that maximizes the skin’s potential through the perfect harmony of depth and density that cannot be achieved with a single device alone. In other words, you can experience three-dimensional anti-aging. Today, we will reveal the detailed reasons Bellevue Clinic recommends Ulthermage as the ultimate model for lifting.

1. Why is Ulthermage called “architectural reconstruction”? (The perfect combination of structure and density)

To make it easy to understand, our face is like the structure of a building. Think about it: just as a building collapses when its pillars weaken, the skin’s support layer (the SMAS layer) and outer wall (the dermis) also weaken together. In other words, the surface and facial contour can only stay intact if they are firmly supported from within. That is why healthy elasticity throughout the deeper SMAS layer and the entire dermis is so important. Ultherapy and Thermage are lifting treatments that care for the SMAS layer and dermis, respectively. Let me explain simply with a table.

Treatment device	Target layer (depth)	Core role (function)	Metaphorical expression
Ultherapy	SMAS layer	Contracts the loosened framework and vertically pulls upward against the force of sagging	Acts like a “structural beam”
Thermage	Entire dermis	Stimulates strong regeneration in the thinned dermis to densely restore skin density	Acts like “outer walls and insulation”

Bellevue Ulthermage, which combines two treatments in one, is a customized blend of both devices based on each person’s aging pattern. For example, a sagging jawline is strongly supported with Ultherapy, while the cheeks or eye area with reduced density are densely restored with Thermage, securing three-dimensional stability in the overall skin structure. (The treatment pattern may vary slightly depending on the individual.)

2. Bellevue’s know-how: applying “optimized energy capital”

The success of lifting results depends on how accurately and safely the most effective “energy capital” is delivered to the skin. Results are best when the number of energy shots is distributed architecturally according to the customer’s aging characteristics—for example, 70% to the sagging jawline area and 30% to the cheeks/forehead with more severe density loss.

▷ During Ultherapy, energy can be delivered while checking the depth and thickness of the SMAS layer, and precise treatment is essential—stronger energy for deeper layers and careful avoidance of high-risk areas where nerves pass.

▷ During Thermage, the interval and temperature of the radiofrequency pulses delivered to the dermis are finely adjusted to match the customer’s level of skin elasticity, maximizing the collagen-synthesis environment inside the dermis without damaging the skin surface.

3. Ulthermage effect: “A new definition of longevity”

★Three synergistic effects of Ulthermage★

1. Immediate tightening

: Right after the treatment, you immediately experience a more refined contour from the SMAS contraction caused by Ultherapy.

2. Long-term regeneration

: Over several months, Thermage continuously promotes collagen production in the dermis, fundamentally improving skin texture and density.

3. Connection with combination care

: If you add “regeneration boosters” such as Juvelook Volume or Sculptra during the period when collagen is actively being produced after Ulthermage, you can dramatically extend longevity—like adding high-quality finishing materials to a well-designed building.

Bellevue Ulthermage already has strong name recognition, but it is also highly valuable as an advanced procedure that anatomically analyzes the skin structure and redesigns it in the most ideal proportions. Some of you may have been disappointed with budget-friendly lifting results. Because every customer’s skin-aging condition is different, it is not possible to say that one is better or worse. As you know, there are many people in their 20s and 30s for whom more affordable lifting works much better and is a better fit. But there are also people for whom that is not the case. Cases where only a treatment like Ulthermage feels satisfying... are mostly people in their 40s and older.

“Focused on skin diagnosis”

Bellevue Clinic

The Mark-Vu skin diagnostic test can identify a wide range of skin concerns at once, including skin texture, pigmentation, pores, wrinkles, skin tone, dark circles, radiance, redness, melanin, sebum, and acne bacteria, which are difficult to confirm with the naked eye.

At Bellevue, we use this to scientifically analyze your skin and make a final diagnosis of the treatment needed. Through detailed consultation, we will do our best to provide the most effective treatment for each patient.
