Worried About Omokgyo Ulthera? Make Your Decision After Reading the Paper

Worried about Omokgyo Ulthera?

Make your decision after reading the paper

Omokgyo Ulthera

Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of U&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

If your skin seems to be sagging more and the wrinkles become more noticeable when you smile, this is probably the first thought that comes to mind.

Can it really be done without surgery?

In particular, if you searched for Omokgyo Ulthera,

there is a good chance you already have both

expectations about the results and worries at the same time.

So today, rather than vague reviews or advertising talk, I want to calmly organize things based on how it has actually been verified in published papers.

If you read carefully for just a moment, you should be able to judge for yourself whether Ulthera is the right choice for you.

1. How Ulthera works

Omokgyo Ulthera

Ulthera is a procedure that concentrates ultrasound energy at a single point and delivers it to the deep layers of the skin.

Rather than broadly stimulating the surface skin, the key is to focus the ultrasound and create heat only at a specific depth.

The target layer here is the SMAS layer.

This layer is a key structure involved in sagging skin, and it is the area directly tightened in surgical lifting procedures.

The Ulthera device is designed to deliver energy to the SMAS layer, and as a result,

the structure allows for immediate contraction as well as collagen remodeling over time.

In theory, this is a quite convincing method, but whether the same effect appears in thinner areas needs separate verification.

That is why clinical studies have been conducted on the eye area and under-eye area, and one of them is the paper introduced next.

2. Is Ulthera also good for the under-eye area?

Safety and Efficacy of Ulthera in the Rejuvenation of

Aging Lower Eyelids: A Pivotal Clinical Trial

This paper is a clinical study that evaluated the effectiveness and safety of applying Ulthera to sagging under-eye skin caused by aging.

The study included 7 adults, and treatment was performed on the lower eyelid area under the eyes using 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm tips.

The evaluation was not based on a simple survey; structural changes were confirmed through CT image measurements,

and pre- and post-procedure photos, patient satisfaction, and expert assessments were also included.

Looking at the results, based on CT measurements, an average structural improvement of 0.51 mm on the right under-eye area and 0.54 mm on the left was confirmed, and this change was statistically significant.

Patient satisfaction averaged in the high 3s out of 5, and no serious side effects related to the procedure were reported.

What is especially worth noting is that this study included before-and-after comparison photos.

This means that it was possible to confirm not only the numbers but also the actual pattern of change.

In that sense, this is a study that shows Ulthera can play a certain role even in a sensitive area like the under-eye area.

3. So if the skin around the eyes is a concern,

can you get Ulthera?

Omokgyo Ulthera

If you have read this far, you will eventually come back to this question.

My skin around the eyes is a concern, so would it be okay for me to get Ulthera too?

Based on the paper, the answer can be summarized as: yes, under certain conditions.

Even in thin and sensitive areas such as under the eyes, structural improvement of more than an average of 0.5 mm was confirmed, and safety was also verified without major side effects.

However, there is an important premise.

The skin around the eyes has a thin layer of fat and a lot of muscle movement, so if too much energy is delivered, hollowness or fine wrinkles may become more noticeable instead.

That is why the paper used different tips by depth, strictly limited the intensity and number of passes, and performed the procedure by experienced medical staff.

This means that even if you are concerned about the eye area, Ulthera is not automatically the right answer.

Whether the main problem is fine wrinkles around the eyes,

whether the under-eye fat has already been significantly lost,

whether the cause of sagging is the skin or the underlying structure,

can change the choice.

If you skip this process, you may end up having an experience that is completely different from the results seen in the paper.

So far, for those of you considering Omokgyo Ulthera, I have explained the principles of Ulthera and

its application to the eye area, centered on evidence from the paper.

Ulthera is certainly a procedure with scientific evidence, but it is not a universal solution that applies equally to every area and every person.

What matters is not the name of the procedure, but a judgment based on the condition and structure of my own eye-area skin.

I hope this article has helped you organize your choice using a more objective standard, rather than vague expectations or anxiety.

Thank you for reading.
