Yangcheon-gu Lifting: Is This Combination Really That Good?

Yangcheon-gu lifting — people say this combination is so good

Is it really?

Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyeon, chief director of You&I Clinic Mokdong branch.

"There are so many types of lifting. Do I have to choose just one?"

"If I can get them together, which combination is best?"

When you look into lifting procedures, you may come across comments like, "Ulthera is good" or "These days, Thermage is the trend."

As a result, you may naturally start wondering whether you can get both.

There are lifting procedures with similar functions, but in general, lifting procedures differ in treatment depth, purpose, and expected effects.

If they are combined well, they can create a strong synergy.

Today, I’ll explain Ulthermage, one of the best-known lifting combinations.

What is Ulthera?

Ulthera is a non-surgical lifting procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

The key principle is delivering thermal energy to the SMAS layer (the fascia layer), which lies deep within the skin.

Because this SMAS layer is generally the same layer that is pulled during facelift surgery, you can expect fairly powerful lifting effects even though it is a non-surgical method.

Ulthera is relatively high in safety and precision because the procedure can be performed while checking the skin layers in real time with ultrasound imaging.

After the procedure, collagen production is stimulated and elasticity gradually recovers over time.

In particular, Ulthera tends to work well when the skin has started to sag significantly, the jawline looks less defined, or the midface appears loosened.

Because it focuses on firmly lifting the deeper layers of the skin, it is recommended for people whose main goal is to improve sagging.

What is Thermage FX?

Thermage works by using radiofrequency (RF) energy to apply heat to the dermis.

It is mainly effective for improving skin elasticity and texture by stimulating collagen regeneration.

Unlike other RF devices, Thermage is equipped with both radiofrequency intensity control and cooling technology.

This allows energy to be delivered steadily while reducing skin damage during the procedure.

Thermage works on layers closer to the surface than Ulthera.

It is good for people with thin skin, those whose main concern is texture or loss of elasticity rather than sagging, or those who want to improve fine wrinkles and pores at the same time.

In particular, Thermage can be a good choice for people who need improvement in crow’s feet, loss of firmness around the mouth, or overall skin quality.

What are the benefits of combining them?

Because Ulthera and Thermage act at different depths and work in different ways, they can be approached as complementary treatments.

Ulthera focuses high-intensity ultrasound energy down to the SMAS layer beneath the skin, helping pull up sagging skin firmly from below like a sturdy structure.

Thermage gently stimulates the skin surface and dermis to induce collagen production and improve skin texture.

In other words, Ulthera handles the "deeper layers" of the skin, while Thermage complements the "shallower layers."

After the procedure, not only does the facial contour become more defined, but you can also expect a tightening effect that makes the overall skin feel firmer.

You may also experience a natural improvement in fine lines on the skin surface and reduced loss of elasticity.

Of course, this combination is not perfect for everyone.

A customized strategy is needed depending on several factors such as skin thickness, age, degree of sagging, and fat distribution, so it is important to decide after diagnosis and consultation with medical staff.

Today, I’ve explained the concerns that people considering Yangcheon-gu lifting often have.

When people think about lifting procedures, they often ask, “Which procedure is better?”

In fact, the important thing is which procedure suits your skin condition.

Since lifting devices usually differ in how they work and the skin layers they target,

rather than simply comparing which is better, it is better to find out which one suits your skin and which procedures are worth combining.

For that reason, before deciding on a procedure, please remember that it is important to have a thorough consultation with medical staff and receive a careful diagnosis before creating a personalized plan. ^^

I hope this article was helpful for those considering Yangcheon-gu lifting.
