What exactly is Ulthera?
Ulthera is an ultrasound lifting device approved by the U.S. FDA. It works by delivering energy directly to the deep SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer of the skin to improve elasticity and wrinkles.

Simply put, it is a non-surgical lifting procedure that precisely delivers ultrasound energy all the way to the deepest muscle layer of the skin (the SMAS layer) to create a pulling effect.
- Mokdong Station Ulthera: What results can you realistically expect?
Many people wonder, “Will it really work?”
When performed correctly, Ulthera can clearly deliver the following results.

Ulthera, excerpt from Troy website
- Improved firmness in sagging cheeks and jawline
Ulthera delivers energy directly to the deep layers of the skin, effectively lifting sagging facial contours.
In particular, you can expect good results for sagging cheeks and a double chin.
- Reduction of nasolabial folds and fine wrinkles
By delivering energy to the deep SMAS layer of the skin, it helps restore firmness from within.
As a result, it can improve expression lines such as nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the eyes.
- Improved skin tone and texture
Ulthera promotes collagen production in the dermal layer, helping brighten the complexion and improve skin texture.
It can also improve the overall quality of the skin.

Ulthera can even improve overall skin quality!
- Why did Ulthera seem less effective than expected?
When Ulthera seems less effective than expected, it is usually due to the following reasons.
- Energy was not delivered accurately to the SMAS layer
Ulthera requires very precise technique.
If the ultrasound energy is not delivered to the correct skin depth, it is difficult to achieve the desired results.

- Inadequate adjustment of energy intensity and shot count based on individual skin condition
The appropriate intensity and number of shots must be carefully adjusted according to each person’s skin condition.
If the same intensity is applied to everyone, the results will inevitably be less effective.
- Use of non-genuine equipment and non-genuine tips
If the device is not genuine, ultrasound energy will not be delivered accurately, and the risk of skin damage and side effects will also increase.

Ulthera, check whether it is genuine!
- A checklist you must confirm before an Ulthera procedure
If you check the following items with the clinic in advance before visiting, you are more likely to get better results.
• Check whether the Ulthera device and tips used are genuine.
• Check whether the medical staff performing the procedure have sufficient skill and experience.
• Check whether a proper aftercare program is in place.

- Precautions and aftercare after Ulthera
To get the best possible results and maintain them for as long as possible, aftercare is important.
• Be sure to use sunscreen thoroughly after the procedure to protect your skin.
• Right after the procedure, be careful to avoid excessive stimulation or strong pressure on the face.
• Adequate moisturizing and hydration can help the results last longer.

Ulthera, please take care of hydration and moisturization after the procedure
