Gwangjin-gu Dermatology: Combining Ulthera and Skin Botox to Improve Sagging and Elasticity at the Same Time

Ulthera & Skin Botox

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Gwangjin-gu!

As we age, the first change that becomes noticeable on the face is a decline in skin elasticity. When you look in the mirror and your jawline appears less defined and your skin looks loose, it can make you seem more tired or older than you really are! For people who are active in their careers or social lives, these changes can become a major concern. Fortunately, there is a non-surgical way to improve elasticity and refine skin texture. That is the combination of Ulthera and Skin Botox. Although they work through different mechanisms, when used together they can provide a natural lifting effect and improve overall skin quality :)

Ulthera & Skin Botox

What happens when skin elasticity sags?

Collagen and elastic fibers in the skin gradually decrease with age and are easily damaged by ultraviolet rays and lifestyle habits. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity, leading to deeper wrinkles and changes in facial contours. Beyond being a simple cosmetic issue, many people also complain of discomfort such as drooping eyelids that obstruct vision or loose fat under the chin that makes the neck look shorter.

As a solution to these concerns, today we would like to introduce Ulthera and Skin Botox! First, Ulthera is a lifting procedure that uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to stimulate the deep layers of the skin and create a tightening effect. Skin Botox, on the other hand, is an injection procedure that helps reduce pores, soften fine lines, and improve skin texture by controlling the movement of superficial facial muscles. Because they target different areas, using them together can produce a more comprehensive effect :)

• A weakened jawline / deeper wrinkles / tired-looking impression

• Ulthera: ultrasound lifting that pulls on deeper layers

• Skin Botox: improves overall surface skin elasticity

Ulthera lifting

Ulthera is a non-surgical lifting procedure that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) into the skin and can reach the SMAS layer. The SMAS layer is the same layer tightened during surgical facelifts, so stimulating this area can provide a lifting effect comparable to surgery in a non-invasive way.

In particular, during the procedure, real-time ultrasound imaging allows direct confirmation of which layer the energy is being delivered to. This helps reduce unnecessary tissue damage and enables precise lifting of only the desired areas. Many people prefer it because recovery time is short and the natural effect appears gradually.

3 Ulthera tips

It is also important to look at the three depth-specific tips. Ulthera provides three depths of tips so that energy can be customized according to skin condition! The 1.5 mm tip acts near the skin surface and can provide delicate effects such as pore reduction and improvement of fine lines. It is suitable when you want to carefully treat a thin skin layer.

The 3.0 mm tip reaches the lower dermis, promoting collagen regeneration and strengthening overall skin elasticity. Lastly, the 4.5 mm tip directly stimulates the SMAS layer, helping lift the jawline, neckline, and deeper sagging. By combining tips according to the area and purpose, you can achieve a balanced lifting effect across the entire face, right?

Skin Botox

Let’s move on to Skin Botox. Instead of injecting botulinum toxin deeply like regular Botox, it is administered by spreading it thinly through the superficial layer of the skin. Its biggest feature is that it strongly stimulates the dermis without overly restricting muscle movement, thereby producing a variety of improvements.

Its effects include reducing enlarged pores, softening fine lines, and controlling unnecessary sebum production to help create smoother skin texture. Another advantage is that the procedure takes little time and allows a quick return to daily life. It can be a good option especially for people with many fine lines or those seeking improved skin texture.

<Skin Botox>

• Superficial skin layer / microinjection of botulinum toxin

• Induces subtle surface lifting of the skin

• Pore reduction / fine line improvement / skin texture refinement

• Quick recovery / natural facial expression maintained

Coretox

So, which Botox product is used specifically? Today we will introduce Coretox~ It is a domestically developed botulinum toxin, and because protein impurities have been removed, it is noted for having a low likelihood of developing resistance even with repeated injections. You can think of it as being differentiated in terms of safety and duration.

Its status as a domestic product increases trust, and it also reduces the burden for people who need long-term, regular procedures. If Ulthera pulls up deep sagging within the skin, and Skin Botox and Coretox refine surface texture and fine lines, then the two treatments can work in a complementary way to create a more complete anti-aging effect, right?

<Coretox>

• Domestic botulinum toxin / minimized impurity proteins

• Low resistance even with repeated injections

• High safety / longevity / suitable for long-term care

• First approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea / high credibility
