The Two Leading Lifting Treatments

Hello,

This is Forena Clinic. 😊

"Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX,

which one should I choose?"

Whether in advertisements or during consultations,

these are the representative lifting treatments people hear about most often,

but when it comes time to decide,

many people find it confusing to understand how they differ.

Today, I’ll briefly explain the key points about the differences in how the two lifting treatments work

and how to choose the lifting treatment that suits your skin. ✨

The Most Sought-After Lifting Treatments Today

Ultherapy Prime? Thermage FLX?

The representative lifting treatments you have probably heard of

at least once in advertisements or during dermatology consultations

are Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX.

However, when it comes time to choose,

many people find themselves wondering how they differ

and which treatment is right for them.

That is why I would like to explain the differences between the two treatments

and how to choose the lifting treatment suited to your skin concerns.

Even though both are lifting treatments,

they work in different ways

When considering lifting treatments, the two most frequently mentioned options,

‘Ultherapy Prime’ and ‘Thermage FLX,’

are both representative anti-aging treatments,

but they clearly differ in the depth of the skin they reach

and in their mechanisms of action.

First, Ultherapy Prime delivers

high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy

to the deepest layer of the skin, the SMAS (muscle fascia) layer,

and is specialized in ‘lifting’ tissue that has sagged in the direction of gravity,

firmly pulling it upward from within.

In contrast, Thermage FLX delivers

radiofrequency (RF) thermal energy

broadly and evenly throughout the dermal layer,

helping stimulate collagen renewal in skin that has become thin and less resilient with age,

and focuses on ‘tightening and improving elasticity’

by filling the skin with a denser, firmer feel.

In other words, for concerns such as a weakened jawline and sagging tissue,

ultrasound lifting that pulls up the deeper layers

may be suitable,

while if your skin has become thinner and you are concerned about fine lines or reduced elasticity,

radiofrequency lifting that supports the dermal layer

may be appropriate.

The key is to accurately assess the condition of each layer of your skin

and choose a customized treatment.

Which Lifting Treatment Do I Need?

Ultherapy Prime

• When the jawline has become less defined

• When you are concerned about a double chin or sagging in the lower cheeks

• When you want to refine your facial contours

• When reduced elasticity makes your face look heavy

→ Focuses on improving facial contours and sagging

Thermage FLX

• When the skin is thin and lacks resilience

• When fine lines are a concern

• When you want to improve skin texture and elasticity

• When you want to improve your overall skin condition

→ Focuses on improving skin elasticity and fine lines

Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX

Recommended for people who:

Are concerned about both facial sagging and reduced skin elasticity

Feel that their facial contours look less defined than before

Have thinner skin with reduced elasticity

Want to improve both lifting results and overall skin condition

Feel that their ability to recover has declined with age

For lifting treatments, it is important to choose a customized treatment

that considers both the degree of sagging

and the elasticity of each skin layer.

Rather than simply pulling the skin upward with strong energy,

delivering energy precisely suited to your skin layers

and creating balanced facial contours

is the key to lifting care.

If you want a firm facial contour and a more confident daily life

with balanced lifting tailored to your skin,
