Ulthera

Today’s topic is ‘Ulthera.’

As the title suggests, I think there are probably very few people who do not know what Ulthera is.

I’d like to share 입체’s know-how on how to receive Ulthera so that it is effective and lasts a long time without side effects.

Principle of Ulthera lifting treatment

Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy to the deep layers of the skin (the SMAS layer).

This energy generates heat in the dermis and fascia layers of the skin, inducing collagen production and improving skin elasticity.

So, up to this point, you can find this information on any hospital website or blog.

Then it seems like that dermis and fascia layer above are very important!

In fact, with an Ulthera procedure, it is practically impossible to precisely treat those two layers across the entire face.

That is because the Ulthera device itself is set up to deliver energy only at specific depths.

So the key is to deliver as much energy as possible to the dermis and fascia layers of specific areas, and then determine how to target the subcutaneous fat layer in the other areas.

If this is done well, the best effect can be achieved without hollowed cheeks.

And accurate shot placement is possible through reading the ultrasound screen, which is a feature unique to Ulthera.

In the end, this is where the difference lies in which doctor is skilled at Ulthera.

Ulthera lifting effects

Improved skin elasticity

Ultrasound energy is delivered deep into the skin, causing thermal coagulation that promotes collagen production and improves skin elasticity.

Reduced wrinkles

Effectively reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles, creating younger-looking, smoother skin.

Non-invasive treatment

This is a treatment using ultrasound without incision or injection, so the recovery period is short and it does not interfere with daily life.

A smaller-looking face

People commonly think of it as a lifting treatment, but the expression “snaps” into place is more accurate than “goes up.”

So your face feels as if it has been pulled up and held in place, and as a bonus, it appears smaller.

Ulthera lifting side effects

Ulthera is known as a relatively safe procedure, but some side effects may occur.

Swelling

Mild swelling after the procedure is natural, but

severe swelling can occur when the treatment is excessive or when the ultrasound is not checked accurately during the procedure,

causing the target to be set on the muscle.

Temporary skin tightness and throbbing

These may appear for a few days after the procedure, but usually improve within a few hours.

Hollowed cheeks

If too many shots are concentrated in the subcutaneous fat layer, excessive fat contraction in the side cheek area can occur.

This can be prevented through accurate real-time ultrasound assessment.

Burns

If the provider lacks experience, a mild burn may also occur.

Ulthera lifting treatment interval

In general, treatment is recommended once or twice a year.

The effects can be seen to some extent immediately after the procedure through the fat-atrophy effect,

and the collagen remodeling effect usually lasts for 3 to 6 months, steadily improving elasticity, with this effect lasting about a year.

However, after the period during which improvement continues has passed and elasticity begins to decrease, many people think the Ulthera effect has disappeared.

But this does not mean the effect has disappeared; it simply means the trend has changed from increasing to decreasing, and the skin is still in a better state than before Ulthera.

Next are comparison photos before and after Ulthera treatment.

These photos show the effects of Ulthera treatment on skin elasticity and V-line improvement.

Things to note when considering an Ulthera treatment

1. Before the procedure, it is important to accurately check your skin condition through a consultation with the doctor who will personally perform the treatment, and to establish a customized treatment plan that matches your goals.

2. Be careful with UV protection and skin-soothing care to maintain the best results.

3. Recently, the use of illegal tips is almost nonexistent, but make sure the clinic uses genuine Ulthera equipment so you can receive a safe procedure.

4. Ulthera is a non-surgical treatment effective for improving facial contours and increasing skin elasticity.

Although it is an expensive procedure, the difference in results depending on how it is performed is clear.

Rather than receiving treatment from an inexperienced provider at a factory-style clinic,

we recommend paying a little more to receive proper treatment.

If you want to directly check the changes and effects before and after the procedure and receive a private treatment that suits you,

we recommend visiting 입체성형외과 for a consultation.

Thank you.
