Hello.
I improve the essence of skin with care,
I am Hongseon Lee, founder and director of Mind Dermatology.
One of the most common questions from patients visiting our Hongdae clinic is,
Is Ulthera better?
Is Thermage more effective?
They are questions comparing the two procedures.
To conclude, both procedures are good, but there is no single correct answer for everyone.
With a single procedure
Why it isn't resolved
What I have observed from many years of treating patients at a dermatology clinic in Hongdae isthat aging does not occur in only one layer.
The skin is a structure in which the epidermal/dermal layers, the subcutaneous fat layer, and the fascial (muscular aponeurotic) layer are connectedtherefore
there are cases solved by Ulthera alone, and cases where Thermage alone is sufficient, butmost are not.
Therefore, the selection criteria for a Hongdae dermatology clinic ishow it is designed to suit my skin that matters more.
Hongdae Ulthera vs Hongdae Thermage,
Key differences
These two proceduresmay look similar, but the layers they act on and their roles are clearly different.
Ulthera delivers energy to the deep layer of the skin, the fascial (SMAS) layer, to lift sagging structures.
Put simply,Ulthera is a lifting-focused procedure that supports collapsed structures.
On the other hand,Thermage delivers heat to the dermis to induce collagen production and make the skin itself firmer.
Ulthera is the axis of lifting,Thermage is centered on skin firmness and textureYou can understand it that way.
Depending on the skin condition,
why the choice varies
In actual practice, the patient's current skin condition is the most important criterion.
When skin laxity is significant,in such cases, Hongdaewhere Ulthera is needed firstis common,
When the skin is thin and there are many fine wrinkles,in such cases, HongdaeThermage may be more suitable.
Especially for people with little facial fat, performing only a strong Ulthera can make volume loss more noticeable,
so it's important to finely adjust the energy intensity and treatment range.
This is why combined treatment planning is important
Recently,it is common to plan Ulthera and Thermage together.
Hongdae Ulthera, Hongdae Thermage
Because the two procedures stimulate different layers,
with Hongdae Ulthera and Hongdae Thermage
approach by using Ulthera to build structure and Thermage to complement skin firmnessIf
more natural and stable resultscan be achieved.
In other words, it's not simply choosing one,the key is how the two procedures are combined.
Mind Dermatology's lifting criteria
Mind Dermatology approaches this processnot as a simple procedure but as skin design.
There are three criteria we consider important.
First, changes that are not excessive
Second, choices suited to the current skin condition
Third, results that are maintained over time
When performing Ulthera in Hongdae, we do not recommend intensity or shot counts beyond what is necessary
When performing Thermage in Hongdae, we finely adjust the energy and treatment area according to the skin condition.
Criteria for choosing a dermatology clinic in Hongdae
When choosing a dermatology clinic in Hongdae, many people often compare the fame of equipment and procedures or the price first.
However, for your face,the important criterion is not which procedure is performed but how it is designed to fit your skin.
Because Ulthera and Thermage act on different layers and have different roles,
the priority can vary depending on the patient's current skin condition.
If sagging is the main issue, Ulthera may be needed first,,
Thermage may be more suitable if the skin is thin and lacks elasticity.
It is also possible to consider a plan that combines both procedures to improve structural lifting and skin firmness together.
It is important to accurately diagnose the current skin condition and design the procedure accordingly.
When choosing a Hongdae dermatology clinic, rather than basing the decision solely on popular procedures,
check whether they explain criteria tailored to your skin and propose only what is necessary without excess,
and I recommend that you definitely verify these two points.
I will provide care with sincerity.
This was Hongseon Lee, Chief Director of Mind Dermatology.
