Criteria for a Good Mokdong Dermatology Clinic for Ultherapy, Thermage, and Shurink

Hello, I’m Lee Young-soo, CEO doctor at Troy Plastic Surgery Clinic.

For those looking into lifting in Mokdong,

most people compare these three together while wondering:

“Is Ultherapy good?”

“Isn’t Thermage stronger?”

“Does Shurink work too?”

But in the examination room, there is something more important than the device name.

It is first understanding skin thickness, fat layer distribution, the direction of aging, and the degree of SMAS layer laxity.

Today, I’ll explain how to choose among Ultherapy, Thermage, and Shurink, and what criteria you should look at when finding a place that is “good at it.”

1. What is the difference between Ultherapy, Thermage, and Shurink?

2. Then, how do you choose a “good place”?

(The 4 most important criteria)

3. Ultherapy, Thermage, Shurink: which treatment is right for which person?

4. The 3 questions I hear most often in the clinic

5. Conclusion — A “good place” is determined more by the ability to read than by the equipment

6. What is the difference between Ultherapy, Thermage, and Shurink?

1. Ultherapy — High-intensity, precise SMAS lifting

• Real-time DeepSEE ultrasound allows direct confirmation of treatment depth

• Target layers: 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5 mm

• Strong for people in their 30s to 50s whose jawline and cheeks have started to sag

• Good pulling force and precision make it effective for improving moderate sagging

2. Thermage — Collagen regeneration and tightening

• Radiofrequency energy contracts and regenerates collagen in the skin

• Target layer: primarily the dermis

• Excellent for improving elasticity, pores, fine lines, and skin thickness

• Overlaps with Ultherapy and is effective when the skin is thin and sagging is still at an early stage

3. Shurink — Less burdensome HIFU lifting

• Reaches the SMAS layer, but with lower intensity than Ultherapy

• Suitable for early sagging and reduced elasticity

• Often preferred for maintenance and periodic care

Because each device targets a different layer,

the “right combination” changes depending on skin condition.

2. Then, how do you choose a “good place”? (The 4 most important criteria)

1. Whether they start with an anatomical diagnosis, not just the device type

Ultherapy, Thermage, and Shurink are all good devices,

but if the same plan is applied to everyone, the results will be poor.

What matters more than the device is whether they first look at:

• Skin thickness

• The location of the fat layer

• The direction of SMAS layer laxity

• Front, side, and 45-degree facial proportions

• Sagging lines in the jaw, cheekbones, and cheeks

A place that accurately assesses these is the true “good place.”

2. Whether the practitioner designs energy, depth, and shot distribution by area

Even with the same Ultherapy,

• how many shots are placed where

• at what depth

• at what intensity

• how densely they are distributed

The results change completely depending on how these are divided.

In practice, what makes the difference in results is not the device itself, but the planning ability.

3. Whether they use genuine Ultherapy/Thermage tips and can confirm this before treatment

Using genuine products is essential, and you should definitely check whether the clinic can verify the certificate of authenticity and the tip serial number.

4. A place with only lasers vs. a place that can also assess thread lifting and surgery

Because many people seeking lifting in Mokdong are in their 30s to 50s, a clinic that can judge not only laser treatments but also thread lifting and surgery can provide a much more accurate plan.

A clinic that can only do laser treatments

inevitably tries to solve every problem with “laser” alone.

3. Ultherapy, Thermage, Shurink: which treatment is right for which person?

1. Early sagging / reduced elasticity

→ Shurink / Thermage

(improved skin density + mild lifting)

2. Moderate sagging / blurred cheeks and jawline

→ Ultherapy alone or Ultherapy + Thermage combination

3. Complex aging with elasticity loss + fat + sagging all present

→ Ultherapy + InMode / thread lifting / mini facelift

(a stage that cannot be solved with lasers alone)

4. The 3 questions I hear most often in the clinic

Q1. Which is the best among Ultherapy, Thermage, and Shurink?

There is no device that is universally “the best” for everyone.

You need to first see which layer the aging started in.

Q2. I’ve heard Ultherapy is very painful. Is that true?

It varies from person to person,

but if the intensity is adjusted by area and the shot plan is accurate, the pain can be greatly reduced.

Q3. Can all three be done at the same time?

It is possible,

but not everyone needs all three at once.

Because the purpose differs by area,

depending on the condition, laser + thread lifting

or even laser alone may be sufficient.

5. Conclusion — A “good place” is determined more by the ability to read than by the equipment

If you are considering Ultherapy, Thermage, or Shurink in Mokdong, the first thing to look at is not the type of device, but the planning ability.

Even with the same equipment,

the results differ completely depending on who performs it, by what criteria, at what depth, and how the treatment is distributed.

What matters more than the strength of pulling is knowing exactly which direction should be pulled — that is the standard of a place that is good at lifting.
