Mokdong Station Dermatology Ulthera: Who Is It Good Lifting For?

Ulthera, Mokdong Plastic Surgery and Dermatology

Recently, inquiries about Ulthera have been increasing around Mokdong Station as well.

That is because Ulthera is the lifting treatment that first comes to mind when sagging suddenly becomes noticeable, or when you start to feel that the jawline and cheek line have become less defined.

In consultations, we often hear questions like, “Is Ulthera right for my face too?”

In fact, whether Ulthera is a good device and whether it is right for me are completely different matters.

Today, before considering Ulthera, I’ll calmly organize the criteria you should use to decide.

1. What Ulthera does

— What matters more than “pulling” is “depth”

2. Then, when considering Ulthera at Mokdong Station, what should you check?

3. Facial features that Ulthera suits especially well

4. On the other hand, faces that may be insufficient with Ulthera alone

5. Frequently asked questions in the consultation room

7. What Ulthera does — What matters more than “pulling” is “depth”

Image for explanation

Ulthera delivers ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer (the fascial layer) to contract sagging tissue.

This layer is deeper than the skin, and because it supports the jawline and cheek line, it can create meaningful changes in early to moderate sagging.

The key points of Ulthera are the following three:

1. Energy can be delivered directly to the SMAS layer (4.5 mm)

→ Helps improve sagging under the cheeks and cheekbones, as well as a collapsing jawline.

2. Gradual approach to the dermis and epidermis with 3.0 mm and 1.5 mm

→ Also helps organize firmness, fine lines, and skin texture.

3. Procedure performed while checking the depth with real-time “DeepSEE” ultrasound

→ Matching the layer correctly is necessary to reduce side effects.

So Ulthera is less of a “strong pulling device” and more of a “device that applies tightening to the exact position.”

2. Then, when considering Ulthera at Mokdong Station, what should you check?

1. Which layer did my sagging start from?

Whether the cheeks have dropped downward, whether the jawline has collapsed, or whether the skin’s elasticity has weakened.

If you know which layer aging has begun in, the need for Ulthera changes.

2. How much cheek fat is there?

For faces with little cheek fat, if the intensity is too strong, you may feel hollowing in the cheeks, so adjustment is needed.

3. How much sagging is there under the jaw and cheekbones?

If the sagging is moderate, Ulthera alone can help, but if the sagging is deep, other structural approaches such as thread lifting or a lifting procedure may be needed.

4. Skin condition (thickness, elasticity, texture)

If the skin is thin or sensitive, the intensity and shot distribution should be adjusted.

3. Facial features that Ulthera suits especially well

The standard I use when saying in consultations, “Ulthera is a good match,” is simple.

• A face where shadows under the cheekbones have begun to appear

• A heavy, downward feeling along the jawline

• When cheek sagging starts from the fascial layer rather than the skin layer

• When the skin is relatively thick and the volume is moderate

• When surgery feels burdensome and a lifting treatment with quick recovery is desired

In these cases, Ulthera can show relatively clear effects.

4. On the other hand, faces that may be insufficient with Ulthera alone

Not all sagging can be solved with Ulthera.

• When there is a lot of cheek fat and a double-chin appearance stands out

• When there is almost no boundary between the jaw and the neck

• When cheek sagging is deep and the skin has dropped significantly downward

• Aging at a stage where a lifting procedure would be more stable

In these cases, it is more natural to use Ulthera as a base and take a layered approach with other lifting treatments.

5. Frequently asked questions in the consultation room

Ulthera, Mokdong Plastic Surgery and Dermatology

Q1. How many shots of Ulthera are appropriate?

There is no single correct answer.

The number of shots and the intensity both vary depending on facial structure, the direction of aging, fat volume, and skin thickness.

Q2. I heard that Ulthera can cause hollow cheeks. Is that true?

This can be felt when the face has little cheek fat or when the intensity is too strong.

If the plan is appropriate, unnecessary hollowing of the cheeks can be controlled.

Q3. How long does it last after one treatment?

The initial tightening appears quickly, and on average it lasts about 6 months to 1 year.

6. In summary

Ulthera, Mokdong Plastic Surgery and Dermatology

Ulthera is a lifting treatment that precisely targets the layer.

At Mokdong Station, where daily life moves quickly and people often look for a lifting treatment that feels less burdensome because a quick return to daily life matters, this is also a procedure that is frequently considered.

What matters is not the device, but accurately reading which layer sagging has started from in my face.

If that layer is the SMAS, Ulthera can be the most reasonable choice.
