Why the Effects Differ Depending on Skin Type

Ulthera Lifting

Hello. I’m Im Young-soo, CEO and head doctor of Troy Plastic Surgery.

You may have heard that even when people receive the same Ulthera treatment, their satisfaction levels can differ.

In the clinic, many patients ask, “My friend saw great results, but why don’t I feel much of a difference?”

This is because the Ulthera response varies depending on skin condition, age, and the degree of sagging.

Based on the clinical experience of Im Young-soo, CEO and head doctor of Troy Plastic Surgery, I’ll summarize the key points that people considering Ulthera lifting in the Mokdong and Omokgyo Station area should know.

1. Skin thickness determines Ulthera’s effect

Ulthera is a procedure that delivers ultrasound energy deep into the SMAS layer of the skin.

However, because skin thickness differs from person to person, results can vary even with the same energy level.

For people with thin skin

• Energy is delivered well, making it easier to feel an immediate tightening effect
• However, overly strong energy can increase the risk of skin damage, so careful adjustment is needed

For people with thick skin

• Sufficient energy needs to be delivered deeply to see results
• Rather than immediately after the procedure, changes are often felt 2–3 months later during the collagen regeneration process

In the clinic, real-time ultrasound imaging is used first to check each person’s skin thickness and the condition of the SMAS layer.

If this step is skipped and the procedure is performed uniformly, satisfaction is bound to drop.

2. Why expected results should differ by age group

Early 30s: preventive Ulthera In the early 30s, this is the stage when elasticity begins to decline rather than obvious sagging.

Ulthera at this stage is mainly intended to

• Slow aging by promoting collagen production
• Focus on improving skin texture rather than dramatic changes
• Be received consistently at 6-month to 1-year intervals for best results

40s: expecting full lifting effects From the 40s onward, it becomes a stage for improving actual sagging.

• Effective for improving sagging cheeks and double chin
• Noticeable changes may be possible even after one session
• A time to consider combination treatment with other procedures

50s and older: careful judgment is needed For people in their 50s and older, it is often worth considering combinations with other procedures first rather than Ulthera alone.

This is because when skin elasticity has declined significantly, Ulthera alone may not produce sufficient results.

3. Differences in Ulthera response by sagging type

The question heard most often in the clinic is, “Will Ulthera work on my face too?” To answer that, the type of sagging must be identified first.

Elastic Sagging

• Sagging caused by reduced skin elasticity itself
• The type that shows the best results with Ulthera
• Excellent improvement through collagen regeneration

Gravitational Sagging

• A form of sagging where tissues descend over time with age
• Ulthera can help, but there are limitations
• Consider combining it with other procedures such as thread lifting

Adipose Sagging

• Sagging caused by excess facial fat
• A fat-reduction procedure may be prioritized over Ulthera

The Ulthera treatment process at Troy Plastic Surgery At Troy Plastic Surgery in Mokdong, individualized care is provided instead of a one-size-fits-all Ulthera procedure.

Step 1: Accurate diagnosis

• Skin layer analysis using real-time ultrasound imaging technology DeepSee
• Assessment of each person’s SMAS layer thickness and condition
• Accurate classification of the type and degree of sagging

Step 2: Customized treatment plan

• Determine the appropriate number of shots for each depth: 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm
• Adjust energy intensity by area to prevent cheek hollowness and burns
• Propose combination treatment with other procedures if needed

Step 3: Safe procedure

• Only genuine Ulthera tips are used (genuine certification is checked before the procedure)
• Performed directly by a board-certified plastic surgeon
• Safety ensured through real-time monitoring Frequently asked questions

Ulthera Lifting

Q. When can I start seeing results after Ulthera?

A. It varies by person, but generally a slight tightening effect appears immediately after the procedure,

and the main results are felt after 2–3 months, as collagen regeneration takes place.

People with thin skin tend to notice results sooner, while those with thick skin tend to notice them later.

Q. Do Ulthera results last a long time?

A. It varies depending on skin condition, age, and lifestyle habits, but results generally last about 1–2 years.

Preventive procedures in the early 30s may last longer, while treatment-focused procedures for people in their 50s and older may be relatively shorter.

Q. How do I choose between Ulthera and other lifting procedures?

A. It depends on the degree and type of sagging.

Mild loss of elasticity may respond well to Ulthera, while moderate or more severe sagging may require considering thread lifting or surgical methods first.

It is important to choose the method that is right for the individual after an accurate diagnosis. Ulthera is especially recommended for these people

Ulthera Lifting

Mokdong Ulthera Lifting is not a universal solution for everyone. Satisfaction is highest in the following cases.

• People in their 30s to 40s whose main concern is loss of elasticity
• People who want a clear lifting effect without surgery
• People who prefer natural-looking improvement
• People who want minimal downtime

On the other hand, if sagging is very severe or there is a lot of fat, it may be difficult to get satisfying results with Ulthera alone.

In such cases, other treatments may be considered first, or a combination treatment plan may be made. Closing

Ulthera Lifting

The effects of Ulthera lifting vary depending on an individual’s skin condition, age, and type of sagging.

Above all, personalized treatment based on an accurate diagnosis is the key to satisfying results.

If you are considering Ulthera lifting in the Mokdong and Omokgyo Station area, start by accurately understanding your skin condition first,

and begin by setting realistic expectations.

That way, after the procedure, you can achieve a result that makes you say, “This is more than satisfying enough.”

“Ulthera is certainly an effective procedure, but it does not guarantee the same results for everyone. Accurate individual analysis and a treatment plan tailored to it are the keys to success.”
