SNU Entrance Ulthera, Non-Surgical Lifting with a Natural Look

“My skin doesn’t look the way it used to.”

If you’ve been feeling that way,

now is the time to start.

🌿 Lately, do you find yourself lingering in front of the mirror?

Getting older is a natural part of life,

but when your reflection looks more tired than before,

and your jawline or cheeks seem to be sagging,

you may start worrying, ‘Have I neglected my skin care?’

Loss of elasticity and wrinkles that makeup can’t hide,

a double chin and blurred facial contours that stand out in photos.

Many people begin looking into lifting procedures because of concerns like these. Among them, Ulthera has recently been gaining more attention because it can deliver natural, gradual results without surgery or incisions.

It uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of the skin,

so over time, collagen regenerates and you can experience firmer skin.

In particular, for those who want not an overly artificial change but rather to look naturally younger,

Ulthera can be the most practical choice.

But what if surgery feels 부담스럽고

and you only want a natural change?

Take a look at the non-surgical lifting procedure, Ulthera,

offered at Human Dermatology SNU Branch in the SNU Entrance Station area of Gwanak-gu, Seoul :)

What is Ulthera?

Ulthera lifting

Ulthera is a premium lifting device approved by the U.S. FDA. It delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) deep into the SMAS layer of the skin to induce collagen production and lift sagging skin without surgery, making it a non-invasive lifting procedure.

No incisions or recovery period

Can return to daily life immediately after the procedure

Natural lifting effects expected through steady collagen regeneration

🔎 How Ulthera works

1️⃣ Generates ultrasound thermal coagulation points (TCP) at 60–70°C

in the dermis and SMAS layer of the skin

→ Immediate lifting effect

2️⃣ The tissue exposed to heat

naturally recovers and creates new collagen

→ Improved elasticity + wrinkle reduction

3️⃣ The effect becomes more noticeable 2–3 months after the procedure

→ Can last 6 months to over 1 year (individual results may vary)

📊 Ulthera tips are used differently

depending on the area

Ulthera uses different tip types depending on the depth of the skin layer.

Rather than using just one tip,

a combination should be applied

in order to maximize the lifting effect.

✔️ Ulthera tip types

🔸 1.5 mm tip

Target depth: lower epidermis to upper dermis

Main areas: eye area, forehead

Effect: improves fine lines, refines skin texture

🔸 3.0 mm tip

Target depth: middle to lower dermis

Main areas: cheeks, jawline, under the eyes

Effect: strengthens elasticity, tightens pores

🔸 4.5 mm tip

Target depth: SMAS layer (fascia layer)

Main areas: jawline, double chin, neck

Effect: the core of actual lifting

Ulthera tip depths summary

Tip depth	Reached skin layer	Main treatment areas	Main purpose
1.5 mm	Lower epidermis ~ upper dermis	Eye area, forehead, thin skin, fine-line areas	Refines skin texture, improves fine lines, lifts thin skin
3.0 mm	Middle ~ lower dermis	Cheeks, jawline, under the eyes, nasolabial folds	Strengthens elasticity, tightens pores, lifts the middle layer
4.5 mm	SMAS layer (fascia layer)	Double chin, jawline, cheeks, neck line	Deep-layer lifting, improves facial contours, emphasizes V-line

💎 Main effects of Ulthera

✔️ Immediate improvement in elasticity + gradual collagen regeneration

✔️ Improvement in double chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, and neck wrinkles

✔️ Lifting effect can last 6 months to over 1 year

✔️ Natural V-line improvement effect

👥 Ulthera is recommended for:

✅ Those whose facial contours have collapsed and jawlines look blurred

✅ Those whose skin elasticity has noticeably decreased

✅ Those bothered by sagging such as a double chin or neck wrinkles

✅ Those who want a natural lifting effect without incisions or recovery time

✅ Those who also want to improve enlarged pores

💡 Ulthera vs. Thermage: what’s the difference?

Both are lifting devices,

but there are slight differences in the type of energy and treatment purpose!

Category	Ulthera (Ulthera)	Thermage FLX (Thermage)
Energy	Ultrasound (HIFU)	Radiofrequency (RF)
Depth reached	Reaches the SMAS layer (fascia layer)	Dermis to subdermal layer
Effect	Lifting, contour refinement	Elasticity, fine lines, skin texture improvement
Treatment sensation	Slight pain (deeper layer)	Relatively less
Recommended for	Those who want to improve sagging facial contours and a double chin	Those who want to improve skin texture, pores, and shallow wrinkles

Ulthera: effective for deep lifting such as hollowed facial contours and sagging jawlines

Thermage: effective for surface elasticity and texture improvement such as fine lines and enlarged pores

✨ When the two procedures are performed together,

you can manage both the deeper layers and the surface of the skin at the same time,

and expect a firmer, more defined lifting effect.

Ulthera is not a procedure that gives the same result just because it’s done at any clinic with any machine.

Careful skin diagnosis and consultation before the procedure,

accurate layer analysis,

and the skill to combine and use the right tips for each area

ultimately determine the lifting effect and satisfaction.

Also, whether genuine tips are used is very important.

Non-genuine or reused tips may fail to deliver energy evenly,

which can reduce effectiveness and also increase the risk of side effects such as burns, bruising, and in severe cases, hollowing of the cheeks.

Therefore, if you are considering Ulthera,

don’t look only at the price.

✔️ Whether genuine tip use can be certified

✔️ Whether the procedure is performed directly by a specialist

Please be sure to check these points.
