Hello.
Improving the essence of skin with care,
Director of Mind Dermatology
I am Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years' experience.
They both increase skin firmness,
so aren't they the same lifting?
This is a question I hear often in the clinic. ^^
When the skin begins to sag, people naturally compare various lifting devices.
EspeciallyMapo Station dermatology clinic Ulthera and ThermageAs they have long been mentioned together,
many people think the differences between the two procedures are simply pain or price.
However, the two procedureshave clear differences from the energy used, the skin layer the energy reaches, to the changes you can expectthere are.
Therefore, rather than choosing based on which procedure is more famous,
currentlyyou should first determine where the loss of elasticity in your face originatesyou should.
Even among the same lifting procedures,
the skin layers they reach differ.

Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy.
It concentrates energy past the skin surface into the dermis and the deep fascial layer beneath the skin to create small thermal coagulation points,
the surrounding tissuecontracts and regenerates, pulling up sagging tissue through this process.
Especially if the jawline has become less defined than before, or the cheek fat has descended making the mouth corners look heavy,
if changes in facial contour are a concern, a method that stimulates deeper layers can help.

On the other hand,Thermage is a procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy broadly and evenly to the skin.
It delivers thermal stimulation to the dermal collagen to induce immediate contractionand,
afterwards, newaims to firm the skin through the process of new collagen formationthere is.
Put simply, if the former focuses on lifting deep structures that have sagged downward,
the latter is closer to focusing on tightening lax skin and improving skin texture.
Mapo Station Dermatologyis why we don't simply explain the two devices as differing only in strength to those who visit.
Even the same 'sagging'
the required treatment can vary.

Even if you look in the mirror and feel 'my face has sagged,' the actual situation differs from person to person.
For some, the position of the jawline and cheeks has shifted downward, making the facial shape itself appear collapsed,
for others, rather than changes in facial contours, the skin becomes thinner and rougher, with pores and fine wrinkles becoming more noticeable.
As in the first case,if sagging of deep tissues is central, Ulthera may beconsidered first.

Conversely, if the skin surface is textured and makeup does not apply well,
and fine lines around the eyes and mouth increase, making the skin overall look lax, Thermage may be more suitablein that case.
However,actual aging does not occur in just one layer.
The deep layers that support the skin loosen while dermal collagen decreases,
and the position of fat and facial volume also change.
Therefore, in consultations at Mapo Station Dermatology,
"Which of the two is better"Lookthe question "Which change is most prominent right now"is examined first.

If strong lifting is applied unconditionally to people with little facial fat and lacking volume, the face can instead look gaunt.
Conversely, if contour sagging is pronounced but you focus only on skin texture care, the expected change may feel insufficient.
This is why diagnosis must come before the device name.
What determines the effect is
detailed planning rather than the device.
Even when receiving the same Ulthera,you should not apply the same depth, intensity, and number of shots to everyone.
You need to assess face shape, skin thickness, and fat distribution to distinguish areas to concentrate energy and areas to avoid.
Thermage as wellis not a procedure of simply applying a fixed number of shots evenly across the entire face.
The thin skin around the eyes and mouth and the relatively thicker cheeks and jawline may require different energy levels and techniques.
You should also confirm whether the area that bothers the patient most matches the area with actual loss of elasticity.
WeMapo Station Dermatology Clinicuse genuine devices and genuine tips as a baseline,
and as a dermatologist I personally check the facial structure and direction of aging and then design the treatment scope.
Depending on the need, both procedures can be considered together, but
not everyone requires combination treatment.
In some cases one device is sufficient, and in others it is more appropriate to separate the timing and sequence of procedures.
Ultimately, between Mapo Station Dermatology Clinic's Ulthera and Thermage,
it is difficult to state which is superior in a single sentence.
whether the sagging in the deeper layers needs to be improved,
because the answer depends on whether the skin's own elasticity and texture need to be restored.
If you've repeated liftings but haven't experienced satisfactory changes, it may not be a problem with the device,
and it's worth checking whether the treatment was carried out in a direction that doesn't suit your skin condition.
Mapo Station Dermatologydoes not simply recommend procedures,
it does not just improve the sagging you see now
but also considers future aging changes and will create a lifting plan suited to your current skin condition.
We will provide care with sincerity.
