"Doctor, is Ultherapy right for my face,

or would Thermage be better?"

This is a frequently asked question that countless people visiting our clinic ask every day.

We understand better than anyone how deeply concerned you may be about your jawline sagging day by day and your fine lines becoming more noticeable every time you look in the mirror.

Since you are investing both time and money to look your best, it is only natural to want to find the right answer for your face.

So today, to help you make your choice, we will explain the appeal of these two treatments in an easy-to-understand way.

Ultherapy Prime Thermage

What Is Ultherapy Prime?

First, Ultherapy Prime can be easily understood as “powerful lifting that goes against gravity.”

It works by delivering high-intensity focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin, all the way to the deepest layer known as the “muscle fascia layer.”

Just as a magnifying glass concentrates sunlight on a single point to burn paper, it creates thermal coagulation points within the skin, causing sagging tissue to contract firmly.

As a result, it can be particularly effective for contour improvement, such as strongly lifting a collapsed jawline or refining a double chin.

It can be an excellent solution for those who have some facial volume and are concerned about sagging cheeks or a less-defined jawline.

What Is Thermage?

Thermage, on the other hand, is a leader in “tightening” that makes the skin’s surface feel firm and elastic.

Instead of ultrasound, it uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermal layer, where collagen is concentrated, broadly and evenly.

It immediately contracts collagen fibers that have loosened with age and helps new collagen continue to build over time.

As a result, you may notice fine, crinkled lines becoming smoother and the overall texture of previously dull, dry-feeling skin becoming much firmer.

We particularly recommend it for those who have little facial fat and worry that lifting treatment might make their cheeks look hollow, as well as those concerned about thin, loose-feeling skin.

What Is the Combination of the Two Treatments, and Who Is It Recommended For?

Why, then, is the combination of receiving both treatments, known as “Ulthermage,” so popular?

As you may have noticed, the two treatments work on completely different skin layers and use different principles, making them an ideal combination.

Ultherapy firmly supports the deeper elasticity, which can be compared to the framework of a house, while Thermage smooths and refines the skin’s surface, like wallpaper.

Because it treats both the inside and outside of the skin at the same time, you can expect a stronger and longer-lasting synergistic effect than when receiving either treatment separately.

It is the combination we most recommend for those who want to address overall signs of aging or improve their jawline while also treating fine lines around the eyes and mouth in one treatment plan.

Ultimately, it is not possible to say that either Ultherapy or Thermage is unconditionally better.

The right answer depends on factors such as the thickness of your skin, the amount of facial fat you have, and the area you most want to improve at present.

The wisest approach is to sit down and talk with a doctor who can carefully assess your facial shape and skin condition.

We hope that the information we shared today will be even a small help in bringing out your hidden beauty. We wish you a confident day, as always.
