Hello.
This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
Whenever we talk about non-surgical ultrasound lifting,
many patients ask, “How is it different from Ulthera?”
At Mutoel, we have the Lineage HIFU device ready.
Unlike the commonly known dot-type focused ultrasound (HIFU),
it delivers linear energy, so it is a newer device that
acts more densely on the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Focused ultrasound energy precisely targets multiple layers
under the skin to regenerate collagen, and it can also act
deeply on the subcutaneous fat layer, allowing you to expect
fat breakdown and contour improvement as well.
That is the energy lifting device called Lineage.
Today, at Shinyongsan Dermatology Clinic, we will explain
the working principle, effects, and differences from other
devices, one by one in detail.

What kind of device is Lineage?
At Mutoel, we describe Lineage as “smart lifting that
minimizes pain burden while maximizing lifting effects
deep within.”
By delivering focused ultrasound energy (HIFU) deep into
the skin to promote collagen production, it is a procedure
at Shinyongsan Dermatology Clinic that is highly effective
for improving firmness and softening wrinkles.
Because it forms coagulation zones at various depths, it can
tighten the internal skin structure, and since it has high
energy efficiency through a back-and-forth irradiation method,
the effect of improving sagging is further enhanced.
There is almost no pain or bruising, so you can return to
daily life immediately after the procedure without difficulty.
It helps break down areas with a lot of fat and smooths out
curved areas, allowing a balanced line to be completed.
In addition, by using various cartridges and modes, detailed
energy control is possible, making it a lifting device that can
perform delicate procedures tailored to each person’s skin condition.

How does it work?
Since it is a device that uses focused ultrasound energy, it can
deliver thermal energy to deep tissues such as the dermis,
subcutaneous fat, and SMAS (the fascial layer) while protecting
the skin surface.
The existing dot method can be described as delivering energy
as if stamping dots, while the line method irradiates energy in
a straight line, so compared with the dot method, there are
relatively fewer gaps and the procedure is faster.
Therefore, the linear method can create more uniform coagulation
points, and because it is easier to deliver energy densely even
to narrow areas (around the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth), it is
characterized by enabling precise design.

What advantages does it have?
The strengths of Lineage are that the mode can be adjusted to
suit each person’s skin condition, that it can target multiple
layers, and that differentiated designs can be made according to
each person’s different skin concerns and structure.
Lineage is effective not only for lifting the face, but also for
improving firmness in the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
By adjusting the two types, dot and line, detailed procedures
are possible, and cartridges of various depths can be selected appropriately.
This flexible application is receiving a lot of attention because it
delivers “improvement effects that fit me perfectly.”
There are four types of cartridges prepared according to the shape
and depth of the energy, so it can precisely target the right position
in line with each person’s unique skin layers.
All four cartridges can also be delivered in two ways, dot type and
line type, making this a lifting procedure at Shinyongsan Dermatology
Clinic that allows delicate treatment tailored to each individual.

What makes it different from other devices?
HIFU (focused ultrasound) has the characteristic of giving a structural
lifting effect by deeply stimulating the SMAS layer, while RF
(radiofrequency) stimulates the dermis with thermal energy to
promote collagen production.
Lineage is an advanced HIFU lifting method using “linear irradiation,”
so it densely covers multiple depths and delivers energy to the fat layer.
In other words, it can aim for a combined effect of “skin texture + fat
reduction + line correction.”
Therefore, it can be considered a good option when you want the effects
of skin firmness and localized fat reduction at the midpoint before
reaching the stage where surgery is needed due to severe sagging.
Ultimately, the procedure is determined by each patient’s degree of sagging,
the treatment goals, and the medical staff’s judgment.

Points to note when choosing a place for treatment
The results of Lineage at Shinyongsan Dermatology Clinic depend on not just
the device’s performance, but also on “who uses it and how.”
Therefore, when choosing a provider, please carefully check whether the device
is genuine, its maintenance condition, the practitioner’s skill level,
the response process in case side effects occur, and before-and-after photos
(portfolio) before proceeding.
Also, places that clearly explain the treatment protocol (the combination of
dot and line modes, depth selection, energy intensity, and recommended number
of sessions) are more reliable.
Comparing costs is also an important factor, but excessively low prices may
mean a lower total energy amount or careless treatment, so please make a careful
decision after thorough research.

To conclude...
Among the various HIFU devices, Lineage is a more advanced device that can
densely stimulate the skin using linear mode.
However, the best results come not from the device itself, but from a strategy
that accurately diagnoses each patient’s different concerns, designs a customized
plan with the appropriate mode, depth, and energy, and combines it properly with
other procedures when necessary.
What Mutoel always emphasizes is preserving the unique charm that each face
already has while finding the right harmony to create natural beauty.
If you have any additional questions, please visit Mutoel for a consultation.
By directly listening to and reviewing your concerns, we will do our best to
provide safe and realistic treatment goals with the best care possible.
This has been Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
Thank you.
