"I recently heard Ultherapy has good results,

so I tried I-Ultherapy,

but it doesn’t seem very effective...

Isn’t this being exaggerated?"

If you made up your mind to get a lifting treatment and then felt like the results were minor, it’s only natural to worry that it wasn’t worth the money.

In particular, the eye area is where signs of aging such as fine lines appear relatively early, so many people start with lifting there.

So today, we’ll talk about I-Ultherapy, which can be called the signature treatment for eye-area lifting.

Focusing on the principle and effects, we’ll cover who it is good for, who may have a harder time seeing results, and the eye-specific treatments that can further enhance the effect, all in one place.

I-Ultherapy

Curious about the principle and effects!

I-Ultherapy is a method of performing Ultherapy, which is based on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), through a tip designed specifically for the eye area.

This eye-specific tip is a narrower, thinner 1.5 mm or 3.0 mm tip compared with a regular tip. With this tip, treatment can be performed more stably even around the eye area, which has more pronounced curves.

As ultrasound energy penetrates into the skin and reaches the target point, it creates coagulation points with heat of about 60 to 70°C.

Formation of thermal coagulation points

It can immediately contract loosened collagen fibers to some extent, but the real effects become clearer over time.

That is when the skin begins to produce new collagen on its own to heal the thermal coagulation points.

It takes at least one month or more for new collagen to be formed and for the tissue to rebuild. After that, as collagen gradually fills in more, you can feel the effects more strongly.

So right after the treatment, or not long after it, you may feel like there are no effects, but your skin is working hard inside, so it’s best to wait a little.

Also, I-Ultherapy is often performed on the eyelids, outer corners of the eyes, and under-eye area in particular.

Once the effects begin to appear, the eyelids feel much lighter, and the sagging eye area lifts, making the eyes look more defined overall.

I-Ultherapy

Are there certain types of people for whom it works well?

Those who are likely to see good results include people whose eyelids have become heavy and droopy, causing the double-eyelid line to narrow.

It also suits people whose eye area looks shadowed because of under-eye wrinkles, or who are bothered by deep crow’s feet.

However, if there are too many folds in the eyelids or if ptosis is very severe, I-Ultherapy alone may not be enough.

At that level, the issue may go beyond skin elasticity and involve weakened muscle strength that lifts the eyelids.

So before getting it done, it is most important to visit a place that can accurately assess the condition of your eye area.

That is because it is important to distinguish whether the issue is simply reduced elasticity, a structural problem, or a combination of factors.

Eye-area care treatments that are good to combine with it

So far, we have explained I-Ultherapy.

You can think of I-Ultherapy as having the effect of lifting up sagging tissue from within the skin. In other words, it is specialized for lifting itself.

But concerns around the eye area are usually not caused by just one factor. In many cases, there is sagging, fine lines, dryness, and darkening all at once.

So let’s also look at eye-specific treatments that can improve results when combined with I-Ultherapy.

  • Eye Thermage

This is a method of performing Thermage, which uses radiofrequency (RF) heat energy, with a tip designed specifically for the eye area. The tip used has a very narrow and precise 0.25 cm² treatment area.

As the radiofrequency energy acts as heat inside the skin, collagen contracts immediately, and you can feel some tightening in the skin.

After at least 3 weeks, when new collagen and elastin begin to form, you can see the tightening effect more clearly, with smoother skin texture and reduced fine lines.

If I-Ultherapy lifts deeper layers, Eye Thermage is more focused on improving skin texture.

  • Eye Rejuran

Eye Rejuran is a method of directly injecting polynucleotide (PN), a component extracted from salmon, into the skin around the eyes.

In the case of Eye Rejuran, you can think of it as helping with skin regeneration.

It stimulates factors involved in producing collagen within the skin, helps collagen production, increases moisture retention, and strengthens the skin itself around the eyes.

It can be especially effective if you are concerned about dry and thin skin around the eyes.

Today, we looked at the principle and effects of I-Ultherapy, who it is good for, and eye-specific treatments that are good to combine with it.

Lastly, the point I want to leave you with is that treatment results can be improved when you accurately understand the cause of your eye-area concerns and approach them in a way that matches that cause.

So please do not rush your decision, and make sure to get enough consultation before choosing a place that can analyze and diagnose your concerns well and suggest appropriate solutions.
