Hello.

This is Kim Hawon from Beauty's Doctors.

Ulthera Prime is not simply

a treatment for lifting.

Because men and women have different treatment goals from the start,

the approach strategy should also be different.

For men, Ulthera focuses on keeping the facial outline

sharp and well-defined,

while for women,

it focuses more on improving the tired-looking impression

caused by sagging.

Men’s Ulthera

: The key is maintaining contours and angles

If you look at the recently popular “Young Forty” meme,

you can easily understand the difference in facial preferences between men and women.

The Young Forty character exaggerates the face

by making it round and large,

intentionally softening the masculine impression,

but this feels somewhat different from the image

that actual men tend to prefer.

On the other hand, if you look at male celebrities who actually look youthful,

they have clear defining features.

The angles of the face are preserved,

and the contour line from the cheekbones to the jawline

remains clear and firm.

In other words, the key to a youthful male face is not

making it more voluminous,

but

a solid contour line with undisturbed angles.

When many people look at a face and say it is

“handsome,”

in many cases they are actually attracted more to distinct angles and

clear lines than to softness.

In other words, for men, Ulthera should not be

“a treatment that carves down the face,”

but rather

one that preserves the contours.

Men have a structural characteristic of thicker skin layers

and a thinner fat layer,

so the treatment should be designed in a way that

improves elasticity without collapsing the angles.

Women: Maintaining soft lines + improving sagging is the key

Women tend to have a stronger preference for preserving their natural soft lines.

In particular, many feel that angular facial features,

cheekbones, or jaw areas are something they want to

“soften.”

Also, because women generally have thinner skin layers

and a thicker subcutaneous fat layer,

they tend to show sagging at an earlier age than men.

Therefore, in Ulthera treatment,

it is necessary to create more TCP (coagulation points) inside the skin

and actively induce collagen regeneration.

The actual Ulthera treatment points

change like this

Men

🔹A design that maintains the flow of angles along the cheekbones–side cheekbones–jawline

🔹The key is maintaining a clear line rather than excessive volume

🔹Concentrating Ulthera energy only on the necessary areas to preserve the contour

Women

🔹Softening angular-looking areas more gradually

🔹Gently connecting the boundaries between sunken and protruding areas

🔹Strengthening lifting for sagging, centered on the area below the cheekbones, jawline, and in front of the ears

🔹Creating more TCP to actively induce collagen regeneration

What is commonly important

: Skin Quality management

Ulthera is not only for lifting,

but also regenerates collagen inside the skin,

so as a result,

improvements in elasticity, texture, and density can also be expected.

Things to check before treatment

Individual differences may be

more important than gender

While gender-related characteristics are important,

in reality, an individual’s skin thickness, fat distribution, and degree of aging may be

more decisive.

Even for the same gender, completely different approaches are needed

depending on face shape, sagging areas,

and skin condition.

Therefore, it is essential to accurately understand your own facial structure

and condition,

and receive a customized design suited to it.

Check the provider’s experience and philosophy

Even if the same Ulthera device is used,

the results can vary greatly depending on the provider’s skill and aesthetic sense.

During consultation, you should clearly communicate the direction you want.

Whether you want a natural change or a more definite effect,

because the number of shots and energy level need to be adjusted accordingly.

Carefully evaluate cost versus effectiveness

Ulthera is an expensive treatment.

The price varies greatly depending on the number of shots, treatment area, and energy level,

and sometimes excessive treatment may be recommended.

It is wise to identify the areas you really need treated

and the appropriate number of shots,

and compare consultations from multiple clinics.

Be fully aware of possible side effects

Temporary swelling and bruising are common side effects,

but

in rare cases, nerve damage or hollowing due to excessive fat loss may occur.

In particular, people with little fat in the cheek area need to be careful,

as excessive treatment may actually make them look older.

Plan for the maintenance period and aftercare

The effect of Ulthera appears most strongly 3 to 6 months after treatment,

and generally lasts about 1 to 2 years.

However, depending on how well you manage aftercare,

such as UV protection, adequate hydration,

and regular lifestyle habits,

the duration of the effect may vary.

The key is a strategic approach that fits me

Ulthera should not be approached the same way for men and women.

For men, it should be designed in the direction of preserving angles

and making the contour line sharper,

and for women, in the direction of improving sagging

while maintaining soft lines.

The provider should also apply different designs,

number of shots, and energy levels according to gender.

If you are considering Ulthera,

please get 충분한 consultation from several clinics,

and the most important thing is to take a strategic approach

based on your gender-related characteristics, facial structure,

and personal goals.

Rather than deciding on the treatment simply because you are drawn to the word “lifting,”

I hope you carefully identify what you really need

and make your decision thoughtfully.

Thank you for reading.
