Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyeon, Chief Director of You&I Clinic Mokdong.

“People say lifting is painful. Will I be okay?”

When your skin no longer feels as elastic as before and your cheeks feel like they’re sagging downward, you may feel that lifting is needed.

However, many people hesitate because they worry about the pain itself.

In particular, many worry about whether marks will remain on the face or whether it will interfere with daily life.

Today, for those who want lifting but are concerned about pain, I’ll talk about Ulthera, a treatment known for its strong lifting effects without cutting the skin.

유앤아이목동점 What kind of treatment is it?

Skin elasticity fundamentally occurs not in the epidermis, but in the SMAS layer underneath it.

SMAS is also called the fascial layer and plays a role in supporting the skin.

Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU technology, to deliver energy to this SMAS layer.

At this point, thermal coagulation points are created, collagen contracts, and skin regeneration is naturally induced.

Collagen is not produced immediately, but gradually forms over 2 to 3 months, helping the skin gain firmness.

That is why Ulthera has the characteristic that its effects become more noticeable over time.

In the past, lifting required incision surgery such as a facelift.

But Ulthera can stimulate the deeper layers of the skin with laser alone, without cutting the skin, which is why many people choose it.

“I heard the pain is severe.”

In reviews from people who have undergone Ulthera treatment, it is often described as “uncomfortable but manageable.”

Because energy is delivered deep into the skin, you may feel a brief stinging sensation or heat.

Since this method sends energy to deep tissue such as the SMAS layer rather than the surface of the skin, people with sensitive skin may be more sensitive to the momentary pain.

In particular, areas such as next to the cheekbones or near the jawline, where the space between bone and skin is thin, often feel stimulation more strongly.

So in most cases, a numbing cream is applied sufficiently before the procedure.

Also, even during the procedure, if the energy feels too strong, the medical staff can immediately adjust the intensity or the interval between shots.

In practice, when numbing and intensity are adjusted properly, many people say, “It didn’t hurt as much as I expected.”

Fortunately, Ulthera can also be performed in multiple sessions to reduce the burden rather than as a one-time, intense treatment, so please keep in mind that you do not necessarily need to start with a high-intensity option.

유앤아이목동점 Things to know before the procedure

Although Ulthera is well known among lifting treatments at You&I Clinic Mokdong, it does not produce the same results for everyone.

For example, if the skin is thin or sensitive, ultrasound energy may feel burdensome.

Also, for face shapes with a lot of fat or for cases where volume has decreased, a single treatment alone may feel insufficient.

In some cases, combining Ulthera with fillers or skin boosters may provide a more natural and satisfying result than using Ulthera alone.

Also, even when using the same device, the effect can vary depending on how deeply, in which area, and at what angle the ultrasound is delivered.

In particular, because the SMAS layer is a deep structure, an inexperienced practitioner may find it difficult to deliver energy to the desired area.

In addition, the number of shots and the intensity should be adjusted according to each person’s skin thickness, level of elasticity, and sensitivity to pain.

If these adjustments are not made properly, the effect may be reduced, or pain and side effects may occur.

Therefore, it is very important to fully understand your skin condition through sufficient consultation and a careful diagnosis before the procedure, and to adjust the number of shots and intensity to suit the individual.

Today, I explained information that would be helpful for those looking into Ulthera at You&I Clinic Mokdong.

Ulthera is often chosen by people who feel burdened by skin incisions but want a natural lifting effect.

Rather than dramatically changing the skin in one treatment, it works by improving gradually over time, so it is especially satisfying for those who want to refine the facial line without it looking obvious.

However, since it is not effective for everyone without exception, please first have a thorough consultation with an experienced medical professional.^^
