Ultherapy is one of the lifting devices trusted by many people. Those who have searched for Hongdae Ultherapy may already know this, but satisfaction can be even greater when Ultherapy is combined with this “lifting treatment.”
Yes, it is Thermage. Ultherapy and Thermage are already well-known treatments in the lifting field. Moreover, because receiving these two lifting treatments together can create greater synergy, the combination is even known in the aesthetic field as “Ulthermage.”
“Would receiving two lifting treatments together put too much strain on the skin?”
“ My skin is sensitive, so I’m worried it might be too much. Could there be side effects?”
Yes, some of those who have searched for Hongdae Ultherapy may have these concerns. So today, I will explain Ultherapy, Thermage, and “Ulthermage,” the combination of the two lifting treatments, including their possible side effects.

Hello, I am Won-jin Cho, director of Chaie Clinic.
After performing aesthetic treatments in Hongdae for nine years—including Ultherapy, Thermage, and even Ulthermage—I have found that many people are curious about how these treatments work.
“Doctor, I heard that Ultherapy and Thermage are so effective. How do they work?”
“By what principle does Ulthermage provide anti-aging effects?”
Yes, because lifting treatments are not inexpensive, many people ask detailed questions during consultations. I would also like to emphasize that you should be sure to learn the key details about any treatment you are considering.

First, Ultherapy.
Ultherapy is an HIFU device—in other words, a high-intensity focused ultrasound device.
What you should be sure to know is that Ultherapy targets the fascial layer, or SMAS layer. The fascial layer supports the skin, and Ultherapy is a thermal coagulation device that primarily targets this layer of the skin.

It works by using thermal energy from ultrasound to contract the fascial layer and create a lifting effect.
It is a lifting device often recommended for people concerned about fullness under the chin or those who want to lift sagging skin and create a V-line appearance.

Thermage is a treatment based on radiofrequency energy.
It is a lifting device that uses strong radiofrequency energy to make the collagen beneath the dermis feel firmer and more resilient.
The satisfaction resulting from increased collagen production can take many forms. Increased collagen regeneration and production can improve skin texture and help smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Thermage is commonly recommended for people with thin skin and fine lines.
Because it generally causes little disruption to daily life after treatment, many people also choose Thermage when they have an important D-day or event coming up.
So what should you know about Thermage? Yes, it is that its target layer is beneath the dermis.

The target layers are different from those of Ultherapy, right? This is precisely why receiving Ultherapy and Thermage together can be beneficial. In addition, their mechanisms and the purposes of the devices are also different.
For those looking into Hongdae Ultherapy, I will explain “Ulthermage,” which is also useful to understand, and how the two treatments described above create synergy.
As mentioned earlier, Ultherapy is useful for creating a V-line appearance.
However, as every treatment has its advantages and disadvantages, Ultherapy can be difficult to perform in areas where nerves pass close to the surface, such as around the eyes or mouth, because it produces a strong lifting effect.

Although it is undoubtedly excellent for defining facial contours, it may be somewhat limited when it comes to smoothing the skin or improving its texture.
It is a lifting device specialized in facial contours—in other words, the overall facial line.
Thermage helps compensate for these limitations of Ultherapy.
Thermage can provide substantial satisfaction in terms of overall skin-texture improvement. It can also be used evenly on delicate areas such as around the eyes and mouth, where treatment with Ultherapy can be difficult.

It can also provide a strong firming effect after treatment, making the skin feel tighter and more elastic.
Thus, while Thermage can provide considerable satisfaction in terms of overall lifting and skin-texture improvement, it would be difficult to say that it produces lifting as powerful as Ultherapy.
“Ulthermage” was created to complement each treatment’s limitations in this way.
It is a treatment that addresses both facial contours and skin condition.
“Then are there no side effects?”
As I always say, there is no treatment without potential side effects. “Ulthermage” also has potential side effects.
A representative side effect of Ultherapy is fat loss. If the fat loss is excessive, it may result in a gaunt-looking lifting effect. It is therefore very important to adjust the energy level during treatment.
In the case of Thermage, the practitioner’s technique is extremely important. Although it does not have the same side effect as Ultherapy, it is a radiofrequency treatment, so a mild burn may occur if the treatment surface does not make proper contact with the skin or if excessive energy is used.
The practitioner’s experience is highly important for both Ultherapy and Thermage.
To help reduce the risk of side effects, we recommend visiting a dermatology clinic with sufficient treatment experience.

Today, for those looking into Hongdae Ultherapy, I briefly explained not only Ultherapy but also Thermage and Ulthermage, the combination of the two treatments.
Although these treatments clearly have distinct advantages, the important thing is to receive treatment suited to your individual skin condition.
I also do not perform Ulthermage on everyone who comes in after researching it. For some people, Ultherapy alone is sufficient, while for others, Thermage alone is sufficient.
In addition, there is also “Serf,” which was developed to address many of Thermage’s limitations. Therefore, the most important question is not “Which lifting treatment should you receive?” but rather “Have you received a detailed skin analysis and consultation?”
I hope this information is helpful to those looking into Hongdae Ultherapy. I will conclude here.
This was Chaie Clinic, helping customize your beauty. Thank you.
