​

Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

I am Lee Hong-seon, founder and director of Mind Dermatology.

​

​

Ulthera is widely known as a procedure many celebrities receive, so many people have high expectations for its effects.

​

​

Some expect that a single Ulthera session will restore a sagging jawline and deep nasolabial folds to how they used to be.

​

​

Doctor, my friend changed so much that I barely recognized them,

so why didn't it work for me?

​

​

However, not everyone will experience dramatic results.

​

​

​

​

​

If you decide on a procedure simply because 'someone said it's good,' you may just be wasting money.

​

​

So today I'll talk about what you should definitely check before having Ulthera at Hongdaeipgu Station.

​

​

If you take just three minutes to read this, you'll know what your skin really needs.

​

​

​

What is the mechanism of Ulthera at Hongdaeipgu Station?

​

​

​

Our skin structure consists of the epidermis - dermis - fat - fascia - muscle in that order.

​

​

Ulthera at Hongdaeipgu Station targets among these layers'the SMAS layer'which is the fascia, delivering ultrasound energy to it.

​

​

When the ultrasound energy reaches the fascia, the heat causes tissue contraction, and this tightening pulls the skin, producing a lifting effect.

​

​

If the SMAS layer collapses, the fat and dermal layers above it also collapse, so the procedure addresses the root cause.

​

​

In simple terms, think of it as lifting only the'fascia layer'deep under the skin, not the skin surface.

​

​

​

Before Ulthera at Hongdaeipgu Station, check 'this'.

​

​

​

Just looking at the Ulthera mechanism might make anyone think they can regain firm skin, but that's not always the case.

​

​

That's because the causes of sagging vary from person to person.

​

​

For example, if the fascia has stretched and the jawline and cheeks have sagged overall, you can get relatively satisfying results.

​

​

Because the effect is immediately visible just by tightening the SMAS layer with Ulthera.

​

​

However,

​

​

​

​

  • in cases with a lot of fat, such as cheek fullness or a double chin,

  • if the skin itself is thin and has poor elasticity,

  • or if sagging has already progressed significantly,

​

​

those people may find it hard to achieve the expected level of change.

​

​

Therefore, you should check how your skin is sagging and whether there are other issues, and choose a procedure accordingly.

​

​

For example, those who need both lifting and improvement in skin texture often receive Ulthera together with Thermage.

​

​

Because if you only undergo Ulthera, the skin can remain thin and dry.

​

​

  • Ulthera → superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) / lifting-focused

  • Thermage → dermis / elasticity and skin texture improvement

​

​

​

​

In short, Ulthera lifts the skin upward, and Thermage makes the skin firmer.

​

​

Since you can address lifting and elasticity improvement at the same time, satisfaction naturally tends to be higher, right?

​

​

Therefore, before an Ulthera procedure at a dermatology clinic near Hongik University Station, I suggest checking your skin condition first.

​

​


​

​

​

​

So far we discussed 'What to know before an Ulthera procedure at a dermatology clinic near Hongik University Station.'

​

​

Lastly, what I want to emphasize is that consistent treatments are the most important for lifting.

​

​

If it is not a procedure you can receive regularly, it will ultimately end up being a one-time treatment.

​

​

Therefore, I hope you receive ongoing care at a Mind Dermatology clinic near Hongik University Station that can offer sustainable alternatives.

​

​

That concludes today's post.

​

​

I will provide care with sincerity.
