Compared Between Ultrasound and Radiofrequency Lifting

'What is the difference between

ultrasound lifting and

radiofrequency lifting?'

When researching lifting treatments, the terms ultrasound and radiofrequency often appear, but there are not many places that clearly explain how they differ.

However, these two treatments work on the skin in different ways and target different layers. Understanding the distinction is important so that you can choose a treatment that truly suits your concerns.

From now on, I will explain in detail the principles behind ultrasound and radiofrequency lifting and how they differ from each other.

Yangpyeong Station Dermatology Clinic (Department : Dermatology) What Is Ultrasound Lifting?

Ultrasound lifting works by concentrating focused ultrasound energy in the deeper layers of the skin to create thermal coagulation points.

The layer reached by ultrasound

Ultrasound passes through the skin's surface and has the property of concentrating energy only at the desired depth, allowing direct stimulation of the deeper layers without damaging the epidermis.

This thermal stimulation immediately contracts collagen fibers and induces new collagen production over the following months, gradually improving skin elasticity.

This type of lifting is well suited to people whose main concerns are changes caused by the skin sinking downward under gravity, such as sagging cheek fat, a widened facial contour, or a double chin.

Ultherapy Prime device at Yeongdeungpo Yangpyeong Station U&I

Ultherapy Prime is a representative device used for this type of ultrasound lifting.

It is an ultrasound lifting device that has continued to be popular because it can deliver energy to the SMAS layer, the fibrous membrane tissue that connects the muscles and skin,

allowing deep stimulation without incisions.

Yangpyeong Station Dermatology Clinic (Department : Dermatology) What Is Radiofrequency Lifting?

Radiofrequency lifting works by using radiofrequency energy to deliver heat evenly throughout the dermal layer.

Unlike ultrasound, which concentrates energy at a specific depth, radiofrequency simultaneously stimulates a broad area of the dermal layer.

When heat is applied to collagen fibers during this process, an immediate contraction response occurs,

and the subsequent induction of new collagen production can be expected to strengthen the skin's density and elasticity.

In other words, the most intuitive difference between the two methods is that ultrasound approaches the skin in depth, while radiofrequency approaches it across an area.

Therefore, it is well suited to people concerned about changes in layers close to the surface, such as enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, or reduced skin thickness caused by declining elasticity.

Thermage FLX device at Yeongdeungpo Yangpyeong Station U&I

Among radiofrequency lifting treatments, Thermage FLX is particularly worth noting.

It includes a vibration function that reduces discomfort during treatment compared with the previous generation and is suitable for covering the entire face more efficiently and evenly.

Yangpyeong Station Dermatology Clinic (Department : Dermatology) Lifting Treatments That Use Other Types of Energy

Of course, not all lifting treatments use only ultrasound and radiofrequency.

Some use other types of energy, with Onda lifting being a representative example.

Onda lifting device at Yeongdeungpo Yangpyeong Station U&I

Onda lifting uses microwave energy and, unlike Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX, specifically targets the fat layer.

It is a treatment that can be highly helpful in creating a more defined facial contour by inducing the breakdown of fat.

Because it works on a different layer from Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX, it is also often used in combination with them.

Ultherapy Prime stimulates the SMAS layer to provide support to sagging skin,

and combining it with Onda to address skin looseness caused by fat may produce a more three-dimensional lifting effect.

When Thermage FLX and Onda are used together, improvements in dermal elasticity and the fat layer occur simultaneously, which can help enhance overall changes in the skin.

If you are researching lifting treatments at a Yangpyeong Station dermatology clinic, first check which type of energy each treatment uses,

as well as what effects can be expected from each type of energy.

This will help you choose the lifting treatment that is appropriate for your current situation, avoid trial and error, and achieve more satisfactory changes.

I sincerely hope today's article was helpful to those who are considering which lifting treatment may be right for them.
