Hongdae lifting recommendation: if Ulthera alone isn’t enough

Hongdae lifting recommendation,

if Ulthera alone isn’t enough

“From the reviews, it looks like they do Ulthera

along with other procedures—why is that?”

When looking into dermatology lifting to improve sagging skin, some people are recommended two procedures instead of one and may wonder, ‘Is this just for promotion?’

However, such suggestions are often not simple recommendations, but guidance for a method that aims to improve the patient’s skin condition more comprehensively.

In particular, recently more people have been combining Ulthera with other procedures, so you may be wondering, ‘Why do I need to have them together?’ and ‘Which combination is good?’

Today, along with the principles of Ulthera, I’ll explain step by step why a single procedure alone may not be enough.

• Why one device alone is not enough

• Ulthera for contour refinement

• What device is good to have together?

Hongdae lifting recommendation Why one device alone is not enough

Lifting devices are broadly divided into high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) types, and each acts on different skin layers.

In simple terms, high-intensity focused ultrasound helps improve contour, while radiofrequency helps improve fine wrinkles, pores, and skin texture.

It is important to choose the right device depending on each person’s skin concerns, but in reality, skin concerns rarely appear as just one issue.

As aging progresses, the skin sags overall, and at the same time fine wrinkles and pore concerns also appear.

Because of this, some people may feel that Ulthera alone is “somehow lacking,” and for this reason dermatology clinics may suggest using two devices together.

Hongdae lifting recommendation Ulthera for contour refinement

Ulthera is a lifting device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and targets the SMAS layer, the deep layer of the skin.

When energy is delivered to this area, loosened collagen contracts and new collagen formation is then induced, strengthening the weakened support structure.

As a result, you can expect a lifting effect that makes the face look generally pulled upward.

In particular, compared with other HIFU devices, Ulthera has the advantages of clearer results and a longer maintenance period.

This is because during the procedure, energy can be delivered while directly checking the internal skin layers on the ultrasound screen.

High-intensity focused ultrasound needs to be delivered to the correct layer for the effect to appear properly, and being able to confirm this visually allows for a more precise procedure.

As a result, unnecessary shots are reduced and more efficient energy delivery is possible, so satisfaction and maintenance period (about one year) tend to be high.

On the other hand, Ulthera is effective for contour improvement, but it has limitations when it comes to improving skin texture, pores, and fine wrinkles overall.

Because it targets deep layers point by point, it is difficult to evenly stimulate overall elasticity across the skin surface.

A procedure that can help in such cases is Trinity.

Trinity uses three wavelengths—755nm, 808nm, and 1064nm—at the same time to broadly stimulate everything from the epidermis to the dermis.

The expected effects also differ depending on each mode.

The Lifting mode may help improve fine wrinkles and pores, the Stack mode may help improve pigmentation, and the Dynamic Stack mode may help improve blood vessels and skin tone.

In other words, Trinity can be understood as complementing the areas that Ulthera cannot cover: skin texture and overall elasticity.

Some people receive Ulthera after being recommended for Hongdae lifting, but when they read reviews mentioning that it is “lacking,” they may hesitate.

Of course, if your goal is only contour refinement, Ulthera alone may be enough, but if you need overall elasticity improvement, having procedures done together can be one option.

Among them, Trinity is a procedure that complements what Ulthera lacks, and when performed together it can help manage multiple concerns such as contour, fine wrinkles, and pores more effectively.

Therefore, if you want to improve several skin concerns at the same time, considering this combination may be a good option.
