Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Chief Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic

I am Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.

​

“I've tried massages and changed cosmetics,

but nothing really changed..

​

Would Ulthera help at all?”

​

​

​

Many people are bothered because their jawline looks less defined than before in the mirror, and the deep cheek areas appear bulging and sagging on both sides.

​

​

You've tried firming cosmetics and done self-massage every day,

​

​

but once the facial contour sags, it's often difficult to manage with home care alone, which can make you feel anxious.

​

​

Today I'll take some time to explain Ulthera step by step for those considering a lifting for skin laxity! ^^

01. The real causes of a collapsing contour and the limits of home care

Dangsan Station Dermatology

​

​

The reason the facial line collapses is not simplybecause the surface skin has stretched.

​

​

Beneath the skin there are multiple structures that support the skin and soft tissues,

​

​

and as we age,when the firmness of the skin and soft tissues decreases, the overall contour can appear to sag downward.

​

​

​

​

So simply applying a lot of a good cream to the surface or using a massager may have limits in directly improving sagging that has already appeared.

​

​

For this reason, not only the skin surface butlifting methods that deliver energy to deeper layers to induce tissue contraction and regenerationare sometimes considered.

​

​

​

​

<Curious about the difference between Ulthera and Thermage?>

​

​

Ulthera VS Thermage Are you deciding between Ulthera and Thermage? The most important question is "what does my face need now?" - Ulthera (contour tightening & lifting) Recommended for: jowls, deep midface, sagging facial contours Uses ultrasound to deliver energy to deep skin layers to lift sagging lines. - Thermage (skin tightening & firming) Recommended for: those with little facial volume or thin skin with decreased elasticity Uses radiofrequency to stimulate the dermis for firmer skin and improvement of fine lines. #Ulthera #Thermage #MindDermatology #HongdaeUlthera #HongdaeThermage #MapoUlthera #MapoThermage

02. Delivering energy

to deeper layers of the skin: Ulthera's lifting principle

​

Ultheraallows real-time ultrasound imagingto visualize structures within the skin,A lifting device that delivers ultrasound energy to the targeted depthIt is.

​

Dangsan Station Dermatology Clinic

​

​

  • Depth-specific energy delivery: It's important to plan so that energy can be delivered to the appropriate depth, taking into account skin thickness and the degree of sagging.

​

​

  • Formation of microthermal coagulation points: When ultrasound energy is delivered to a specific depth, microthermal coagulation points are formed, which induce tissue contraction and collagen regeneration.

​

​

  • Changes that appear over time: In addition to changes felt immediately after the procedure, gradual improvements can be expected as collagen production and tissue regeneration continue.

​

​

Rather than artificially adding volume,

​

​

it induces the skin tissue regeneration process using ultrasound energy—a feature that distinguishes it from other lifting treatments.

​

​

03. How to find the natural firmness that suits your face perfectly

​

Dangsan Station Dermatology Clinic

​

Just because Ulthera is a well-known device,it doesn't mean receiving a large number of shots is always better.

​

​

Because each person differs in cheek fat thickness, fat distribution, facial shape, and where sagging appears,

​

​

the process of planning which areas of my face to approach and howis important.

​

​

​

​

When looking into Dangsan Station Dermatology Clinic, rather than being swayed solely by low promotional prices or sensational advertising,

​

​

I hope you first check whether they assess your skin condition and facial structure and plan the treatment accordinglybefore deciding.

​

​

Even when receiving the same Ulthera treatment, remember that the plan can differ depending on which area and what depth are targeted.

​

​

​

I will provide care with sincerity.

<Ulthera Q&A>

​

Question

Answer

Q. I've heard Ulthera procedures are extremely painful. Is that true?

A. During delivery of ultrasound energy into the skin, you may feel stinging, tingling, or heat sensations.

​

​

However, the degree felt varies by person, so if you are concerned about pain it's a good idea to have a thorough consultation with the medical staff before the procedure.

Q. Can I return to my normal daily activities immediately after the procedure?

A. Because this is not an operation requiring incisions, generallyit is not a procedure that requires a separate recovery period.

​

​

However,you may experience redness, swelling, or tenderness immediately after the procedure, and depending on the individual you may also have bruising or temporary sensory changes.These

​

​

reactions are mostly temporary, but the duration varies between individuals.

Q. When do effects appear and how long do they last?

A. You may feel a tightening of the skin immediately after the procedure, but changes are not completed all at once.

​

​

After the ultrasound energy is delivered, tissue recovery and collagen production occur, and changes appear gradually.

​

​

Major changes appear over 2–3 months after the procedure, and visible improvement may continue up to 6 months.

​

​

However, actual duration and degree of change can vary depending on an individual's skin condition and the treatment plan.
