Three Ways You Could Waste 3 Million Won If You Don’t Know About Hongdae Ulthermage

Hello. I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, and I’ve been seeing patients for 10 years.

Doctor, I have a peanut-shaped face.

Can I still get Ulthermage?

To give you the conclusion first: yes, you can.

But how it’s done is what matters.

It’s an expensive procedure that costs well over 3 million won, so you’re probably worried that instead of getting results, you’ll end up ruining your face shape.

The combination of Ulthera and Thermage is powerful.

But an expensive procedure does not automatically mean a good result.

If it’s done in a way that doesn’t suit your face, it really is like throwing 3 million won away.

Under the topic of Three Ways You Could Waste 3 Million Won If You Don’t Know About Hongdae Ulthermage,

I’ll explain the points you must know before the procedure if you want to avoid wasting money.

Hongdae Ulthermage

1. The truth about why a peanut-shaped face should not be treated

A face without much cheek fat should never get Ulthermage?

This claim that circulates online is half right and half wrong.

To be precise, the treatment should not be done mechanically without a design plan, but the procedure itself is not impossible.

In fact, Ulthermage is the art of redistribution.

Even a peanut-shaped face like this can maximize the effects of Ulthermage depending on how it is treated.

By lifting the fat that has sagged down toward the jawline with Ulthera,

and stimulating collagen production in the dermis with Thermage,

the uneven lines can be smoothed out.

The same applies to people in their 40s and 50s whose facial volume has rapidly decreased.

If the treatment carefully avoids areas where there is a risk of nerve damage and areas where hollowing of the cheeks is a concern,

it can actually help the sagging skin tighten up.

Have you seen anyone around you develop hollow cheeks after a procedure?

Paradoxically, that person has very strong skin responsiveness.

It means the skin shows an immediate response to the device’s effect.

However, the energy was delivered to the wrong area.

That is how much the doctor’s technique of hands and design determines the result.

If you’re curious about proper design planning, be sure to read the two posts below first.

If you get the procedure without knowing these criteria, you may not only waste money but also experience unwanted side effects.

Hongdae Ulthermage 2. Is stronger energy always better? Skin has stamina too

"Doctor, since it’s expensive, please use the strongest setting possible!"

Many people misunderstand this.

Does stronger energy mean better results? No.

Each skin type has a limit to how much energy it can tolerate.

It’s like a person who is just starting to exercise and gets greedy, lifts too heavy a weight, and tears a muscle.

Both Ulthera and Thermage are procedures that apply heat inside the skin.

If two strong heat energies are delivered at once, skin recovery may become slower.

That’s why, during consultation, the skin’s thickness and sensitivity must be examined carefully.

If the skin is thin and recovery ability is low,

it may be better to divide the treatment rather than finish everything in one day.

From the hospital’s scheduling or turnover perspective, it may be more convenient to finish everything in one day.

But what matters is a safe and complete result.

It is the doctor’s role to judge whether "this is an energy my skin can handle."

That’s why, even if you have a consultation booked, same-day treatment may not be possible.

It’s important to carefully confirm whether your skin condition is in a state that can receive the procedure before proceeding.

Hongdae Ulthermage 3. What if the budget is limited? A cost-effective combination can also be the answer

Q. Ulthermage is a bit expensive... won’t other options be ineffective?

A. Not at all. For procedures too, there is an optimal tool for the current situation.

If this is your first time with lifting procedures, or if you are in your 20s or 30s and do not have severe sagging,

or if you have a limited budget, there is no need to insist on Ulthermage alone.

I often recommend the procedures below.

1. Shurink Universe + Corège Egg Lifting combination A great introductory combination that targets elasticity and lifting at the same time, while causing less pain.

You may not be familiar with Corège,

but you can think of it as a device that causes no pain at all,

feels like a care treatment,

and does not require any recovery period.

The line after Corège treatment has been refined

2. Celf Fine energy adjustment is possible with a single device.

It is a radiofrequency device like Thermage,

but it can also fire shots to the depth targeted by Ulthera, allowing two effects in one.

Celf’s depth adjustment function creates the effect of Ulthermage.

The important thing is not how expensive the device is,

but whether it can solve the concerns of your skin.

Even low-cost procedures can achieve efficiency comparable to Ulthermage depending on who combines them and how.

If you want to know how to receive the procedures you actually need rather than the procedures that benefit the hospital,

please refer to the post below.

Hongdae Ulthermage: 3 Summary Points for a Failed-Proof Result

• Design: It is possible even for a peanut-shaped face. However, it is essential to design the treatment by filling in hollow areas and lifting sagging areas.

• Energy: Stronger is not always better. Plan the treatment while considering the skin’s recovery ability as well.

• Alternatives: Depending on your budget and skin condition, cost-effective combinations such as Shurink and Celf may be the better choice.

If you remember only these three things before deciding on a procedure, you will be able to make a wise choice without wasting money.

Please receive treatment at a place that carefully examines your face and honestly tells you what can and cannot be done.

Thank you. This was Jo Won-jin.
