Spring is a season with many outdoor activities, and consequently, many occasions to take photos. Sometimes, when taking a photo, something about your face suddenly catches your attention.

Yes, it is the shape of your face.

If you have searched for Hongdae Ulthera, you have probably worried about the shape of your face at least once. Above all, when you are unhappy with your facial contours, your overall confidence decreases—from feeling confident when taking photos to feeling satisfied when looking in the mirror.

So today, I will introduce Ulthera and explain the precautions to keep in mind when receiving the treatment.

Hello, I am Won-jin Cho, director of Chai Clinic.

I have been performing lifting treatments in Hongdae for nine years, and it seems that there are still many people who consistently seek out Ulthera. This may demonstrate just how many people are concerned about improving their facial contours.

For those looking into Hongdae Ulthera, I will briefly explain the features of the Ulthera device and the level of satisfaction it may provide.

Ulthera is HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound lifting. It works by delivering ultrasound heat energy to the skin tissue to improve firmness.

Through ultrasound heat energy, it delivers energy deep into the skin, reaching the SMAS layer (the fascial layer), without damaging the surface. The tissue is then coagulated and contracted.

To explain this principle simply, imagine placing meat on a hot grill. The moment the meat is placed on the grill, you can hear a sizzling sound and see it contract.

In a similar way, the SMAS layer contracts, lifting the facial contours.

So what technology does Ulthera have that has allowed it to remain popular for more than 10 years?

First, it has an imaging device that uses DeepSEE technology to view beneath the skin in real time and perform the treatment precisely.

Second, it can deliver energy to various depths of the skin.

Ulthera can be applied at various depths, such as 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm. The targetable tissue ranges broadly from the dermis to the deeper SMAS layer.

This means that a customized treatment plan can be designed according to each individual’s skin condition.

In brief, the following skin-related results may be expected when using Ulthera.

  1. The skin becomes firmer and wrinkles are smoothed.

  2. The skin is remodeled through collagen regeneration and production.

  3. The facial shape becomes more defined and the jawline becomes more prominent.

In particular, Ulthera may be a suitable treatment for those among the people looking into Hongdae Ulthera who are concerned about the area beneath the chin.

Now, I will explain the points of caution for those considering Ulthera.

The key question is: “Are genuine tips being used?”

In some cases, counterfeit reconditioned tips are used. These are tips made by recharging and reusing genuine tips that have already been used. Since they reuse components designed for single use, there is a very high risk of exposure to side effects.

Ulthera tips have a thin membrane on the part that comes into direct contact with the skin. If this membrane is reused, it may tear and irritate the skin.

This can cause not only burns but also various side effects, such as blisters.

There are two ways to avoid reconditioned tips.

First, check for the genuine Ulthera sticker.

After receiving Ulthera treatment, you can receive a genuine-product verification sticker. Since you can verify the product through the QR code on the certification sticker, it is a good idea to request the sticker if you are visiting a dermatology clinic for the first time.

Second, be wary of treatment prices that are too low.

Genuine tips are disposable and can be used for approximately 2,400 shots. Since the number of shots is limited, the price is inevitably relatively high.

When researching dermatology clinics, if you find a place offering Ulthera treatment at an unusually low price, it may be helpful to question it.

So, is Ulthera a treatment that can be recommended to everyone who wants to improve their facial contours?

No, it is not.

This may be disappointing news for some people looking into Hongdae Ulthera, but it is not particularly recommended for those with thin skin and generally weak skin elasticity.

For people with little facial fat, receiving Ulthera may cause the fat to atrophy, resulting in hollowing of the cheeks.

Therefore, Ulthera is generally a suitable treatment for people who have a moderate amount of facial fat. For such individuals, it can provide a high level of satisfaction with overall facial contour improvement and sagging skin.

Today, I have briefly introduced Ulthera.

Concern about a V-shaped face has probably been one of the ongoing concerns since the emergence of aesthetic skin care.

Those of you looking into Hongdae Ulthera may also have these concerns, but the most important factors are analyzing your current skin condition and designing a treatment suited to it.

As mentioned earlier, there is no doubt that Ulthera has been a popular lifting treatment for a long time, but it is not suitable for everyone.

Depending on the situation, Sylfirm or Thermage lifting may be more suitable, so it is important to describe your skin concerns in detail when you visit a dermatology clinic.

I will conclude in the hope that this information will be helpful to those looking into Hongdae Ulthera.

This was Chai Clinic, customizing your beauty. Thank you.
