“Ulthera is expensive, so the results must be good, right?”

“Some people say they got hollow cheeks— why does that happen?”

If you look at Ulthera reviews, you can often see positive comments such as “immediate lifting effect” and “the maintenance period is long because it is expensive.”

These reviews naturally create the expectation that Ulthera is the best lifting procedure.

However, even after going through the procedure with high expectations, there are many people who experience side effects such as hollow cheeks or feel disappointed because the results were less noticeable than expected.

Ulthera is a device that can help refine facial contours,

but it is not a procedure suitable for everyone, and where and how you receive it is also very important.

Today, I’ll tell you about the precautions you must know before getting Ulthera, so if you are considering the procedure, please pay close attention for a moment.

Shinchon The principles and effects of Ulthera

Ulthera is a lifting device based on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

It works by concentrating ultrasound energy at one point and delivering it strongly into the deeper layers of the skin.

The layer targeted by Ulthera is the SMAS layer, a very important structure that affects facial contours.

As the elasticity of the SMAS layer weakens with age, sagging around the jawline or buccal area can easily develop.

Ulthera works by delivering energy to the loosened SMAS layer to induce contraction.

As a result, you may feel that your face is tightened immediately after the procedure,

and over time, as collagen production is stimulated, you can expect the facial contours to become more defined.

However, Ulthera is not a procedure suitable for everyone.

In particular, since where you receive it has a major impact on the outcome, it is a good idea to check the following two things before the procedure.

  1. A place that properly diagnoses skin concerns

At a dermatology clinic, you will go through a consultation before the procedure.

This time should not simply be a place to hear what procedure the patient wants, but a process to accurately diagnose the current skin condition and concerns.

Because Ulthera targets the SMAS layer, it can be effective for improving facial contours,

but if the main concern is overall loss of skin elasticity or fine wrinkles, it may not be suitable.

In such cases, a radiofrequency (RF) procedure that evenly stimulates the dermis layer may be more appropriate.

Even so, if the procedure is carried out simply because “I want Ulthera,” the real concern may not be resolved, and there is a high chance that the results will feel insufficient.

Therefore, it is important to choose a dermatology clinic that can accurately diagnose your skin condition during consultation and recommend a procedure suited to it.

  1. A place with reasonable pricing

Because Ulthera is a relatively expensive procedure, many people feel burdened by the cost.

As a result, it is not uncommon for people to look for places that are comparatively inexpensive.

The reason Ulthera costs more is not simply because “it works well,” but because the tip is a consumable item.

Ulthera tips have a set number of shots that can be used, and once they are all used up, they must be replaced.

Given this structure, it is not realistically possible to offer the procedure at an excessively low price.

So why are some places unusually cheap?

The possibility of reusing tips or using non-genuine tips cannot be ruled out.

If the tip is not genuine, the energy may not be delivered evenly, which can reduce effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects such as burns.

Therefore, rather than choosing solely based on a low price, it is important to choose a dermatology clinic that uses genuine tips and offers a reasonable price range.

Shinchon Ulthera is a procedure that helps refine facial contours by delivering energy to the SMAS layer,

and you can expect immediate lifting effects along with a slimmer-looking face over time.

However, Ulthera is not a万能 procedure that produces the same effect for everyone, and choosing the right procedure for your skin condition and choosing the right clinic are more important than anything else.

Please refer to the precautions introduced today and make a careful decision after enough consultation.
