Ultherapy in Mokdong for caring for a collapsed face
Ultrasound lifting
Ultherapy in Mokdong

Hello.
I’m Kim Jin-hyun, the chief director of Y&U Clinic Mokdong.
One of the first changes people notice with aging is a loss of facial elasticity.
It is not only the skin surface; collapse often begins from the deep structure beneath the skin, the “SMAS layer.”
That is why, as we age, surface-level care alone may not be enough.
At times like this, Ultherapy lifting, an ultrasound procedure that stimulates the deeper layers of the skin to help prevent loss of elasticity, can be useful.
From here, let’s take a closer look at how Ultherapy can help restore a collapsed face.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a lifting device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound and targets the SMAS layer deep within the skin.
The SMAS layer is a membrane located between the facial muscles and the skin, and it plays a key role in maintaining the overall elasticity and contour of the face.
To use Ultherapy effectively, it is important to properly understand why this SMAS layer matters.

The SMAS layer is the area that serves as the face’s support structure.
However, as we age, this support structure weakens and the skin begins to sag, causing the facial contour to start collapsing.
Ultherapy is a procedure that helps lift sagging skin by stimulating this SMAS layer.
Rather than simply applying surface-level care, it can address the root cause of reduced elasticity.

The key is correctly identifying the dropped areas

The core of an Ultherapy procedure begins with accurately identifying the problem areas.
Common concerns such as sagging cheeks, a less defined jawline, and nasolabial folds are often not simply caused by stretched skin, but by the collapse of the deep SMAS layer beneath the skin.
Ultherapy can be performed while clearly checking the condition beneath the skin through real-time ultrasound imaging.

You can check the skin condition on the screen^^
In other words, it is a procedure that can help lift sagging tissue by properly diagnosing the drooping areas and precisely delivering ultrasound energy to the problem zones.
Thanks to this clear targeting, the burden on surrounding tissue can be reduced, allowing for more efficient lifting care.

However, a key feature of Ultherapy is gradual improvement rather than immediate change.
You may feel some tightening of the skin right after the procedure, but the real changes become more noticeable over time after the treatment.

“Why does it need time?”
When ultrasound energy is delivered, collagen regeneration and remodeling begin deep within the skin.
It takes some time for collagen to be sufficiently remodeled, and through this process, the sagging SMAS layer can gradually recover, helping the facial contours become more defined and elasticity to be restored.

Ultherapy is not a treatment that only affects the skin surface.
It is a procedure that helps the skin regain support from the SMAS layer, the structural foundation of the face that weakens with age.
One of the characteristics of Ultherapy is that it allows you to manage skin elasticity through gradual improvement that appears over time rather than immediate changes right after the procedure.
Based on this basic information, if you set the intensity, timing, and interval of treatment that suit you, you may expect more satisfying results.

Thank you.
