Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology,

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

When looking into lifting because of decreased skin elasticity, you may encounter various procedures such as Ulthera, Thermage, and Sofwave.

If you also look into skin boosters, you may be more unsure which procedure to choose.

However, you don't necessarily have to choose a famous or well-known procedure.

Because each person has different skin conditions and concerns,

It's important to first look at what changes your skin needs nowThat's why.

Today, for those considering DMC Dermatology Clinic who may be curious about the features and differences of each procedureI'll go over them one by one.

Blurred jawline: can Ulthera help?
If fine wrinkles have increased, check skin elasticity first
If the skin is overall sagging and stretched?
If dryness and rough skin texture are more of a concern than sagging, skin booster

01. Blurred jawline,

Ulthera—can it help?

Does a previously defined jawline now look blurred, with the area under the cheeks or beneath the jaw appearing saggy?

In such cases, it's good to first assess how much the skin has sagged and what caused the change in the facial contour.

Ultherais a lifting procedure that delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin.

DMC Dermatology Clinic

When skin laxity causes the facial contour to appear collapsed, it can be used to target improvement of areas such as the jawline and neck.

02. If fine wrinkles have increased,

check skin elasticity first

Thermageis a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to induce collagen-related changes in skin tissue.

It focuses on improving fine lines and overall loss of skin elasticity.

Both Ulthera and Thermage are used to improve skin firmness, but they differ starting with the type of energy used

Ulthera uses focused ultrasound, Thermage uses radiofrequency energy.

That doesn't mean one is necessarily better than the other

The choice depends on whether sagging of the jawline is the main concern or if you are more worried about skin texture and fine linesand can differ

03. If the skin is generally sagging and lax?

Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy to the dermis to induce collagen remodeling

and is a procedure aimed at improving wrinkles and skin firmness

DMC Dermatology

If Ulthera is used to target sagging in the deeper layers and improve facial contours,

Sofwave focuses on improving wrinkles and elasticity in the dermiswhich is a distinguishing point

Of course, which procedure is more suitable in practice cannot be decided solely based on the commonality of using ultrasound

You need to consider skin thickness, the degree of sagging, and the areas you want to improve

04. Dryness and

concern about rough skin texture, Skin booster

Some people are more worried about skin that looks dull, flaky, or where makeup flakes off, or skin that appears rough in texture rather than sagging of the facial contours.

In such cases, you may consider a skin booster.

Skin boosterare various injectable treatments used to improve skin hydration, texture, and elasticity.we're referring to.

DMC Dermatology

However, since each product has different ingredients and mechanisms of action, the changes you can expect also differ slightly.

One good point to note here is:

skin boosters and lifting procedures do not have the same purposethat's the point.

Check procedures by skin concern in the video

improving sagging in the deeper layers of the skinand improving skin hydration or textureare different concerns.

So it's better to determine first whether the skin is sagging or simply dry and rough, right?

Of course, actual skin concerns are not limited to just one issue.

Therefore, it's important to first assess the current skin condition and set the order of which issues to address.

DMC Dermatology

At Mind Dermatology, rather than selecting trendy procedures first,

we go through a process of thoroughly reviewing the skin condition and treatment goals to find the appropriate directionI consider this to be important.

Before deciding which procedure is best, please first consider what changes your skin currently needsstarting with.

Once that criterion is clear, I think it will help you find the direction among various procedures that best suits you.

I will provide care with sincerity.

Medical Director, Mind Dermatology

<Lifting, Skin Booster Q&A>

Question	Answer
Q. Which is more effective, Ulthera or Thermage?	A. If you are deciding between the two procedures, it's helpful to first think about the area that concerns you most. If sagging of the face is your concern, consider Ulthera; if fine lines or skin firmness are the issue, consider Thermage. However, the choice may vary depending on the actual skin condition, degree of sagging, and fat or volume status, so it is best to confirm through a consultation.
Q. Can I receive lifting procedures and skin boosters together?	A. Yes, if you have different concerns such as skin sagging and dryness together, you can consider both types of procedures. However, receiving them together does not necessarily mean the effects will be better. Therefore, rather than combining multiple procedures unconditionally, it's better to assess the areas that need improvement first and decide whether it is appropriate to perform them together.
Q. When do the effects of procedures appear, and how long do they last?	A. Because each procedure works differently, the timing when you can see change and the duration of the effect also differ. Procedures related to collagen changes may show improvement over time, and the expected changes from skin boosters can vary depending on the ingredients and type of product used. Also, because it varies according to each person's skin condition and the progression of aging Provide sufficient guidance on how to check the expected changes and course before the procedureIt is recommended to receive this.
