Hello.
I am committed to improving the essence of skin with care,
I am Hongseon Lee, Medical Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic.
If you look into lifting procedures, you've probably heard the name Ulthera.
As a representative ultrasound lifting procedure that many people consistently choose, I often hear similar questions during consultations.
“How many shots should I receive?”
“Is more shots always better?”
So today I'll calmly explain the criteria for the number of Ulthera shots and the aspects that are actually more important to consider.
Please pay attention for a moment.
What is Ulthera?
Mangwon-dong Dermatology Ulthera lifting uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)to deliver energy into the deep layers of the skin for a lifting procedure.
The skin consists of multiple layers, not just the visible surface,
and among them the structure that plays an important role in maintaining facial firmness is the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS).
Mangwon-dong Dermatology Ulthera lifting delivers energy down to the SMAS to tighten sagging tissues,
and it induces the natural production of collagen within the skin.
How many shots of Ulthera are appropriate?
To give you the conclusion first,"There is a general guideline, but there is no single correct answer."You can view it that way.
First, for people in their 20s.
Since overall sagging is not yet pronounced at this stage,
the goal is often not to pull the entire face strongly upward,
but to lightly refine areas of concern such as a double chin or the jawline.
In such cases, around 300 shots can be sufficient to expect natural changes.
Rather than pushing for a large number unnecessarily, it is more important that the treatment is applied appropriately to the needed areas.
People in their 30s require a slightly different approach.
This is the time when elasticity starts to feel reduced and changes such as nasolabial folds, midface deepening, and a less defined jawline slowly appear.
Therefore, usuallywithin the range of 300–600 shots,treatments are often designed more precisely according to the current condition of the face.
At this stage, simply restoring balance focused on the lower face often
leads to a much clearer and more refined overall appearance.
For people in their 40s and 50s, the approach becomes more important.
If sagging has already progressed, it's often necessary to consider not only the entire face but also the neckline.
Therefore, some practitioners generally use approximately 600 shots as a reference,
but this is only an average guideline and the required approach can vary significantly depending on skin condition even within the same age group.
A criterion more important than shot count
Up to this point,“So wouldn’t it be enough to just decide the shot count properly?”You might think that.
However, there is another aspect that is actually more important.
It is how the procedure is performed.
Ulthera lifting at Mangwon-dong Dermatology delivers energy to deep layers of the skin, so results can vary greatly depending on the approach.
The face has different skin thickness, fat distribution, and muscle structure in each area,
so it is much more important which areas receive energy, at what depth, and in which direction, rather than simply filling a predetermined number of shots.
For example, areas where volume is important, such as the cheeks, require careful stimulation,
while jawline or sagging areas may need a more focused approach to achieve a natural, refined result without overdoing it.
Therefore, from consultation through the procedure, I, the director, personally confirm everything,and we proceed with consistent standards so that the initially set direction is maintained until the end.
If you were considering Ulthera lifting at Mangwon-dong Dermatology, rather than judging by price or shot count alone,
please evaluate how accurately your facial condition is assessed and whether an appropriate direction is proposed.
I hope this post has been helpful to those considering Ulthera lifting at Mangwon-dong Dermatology.
Thank you for reading this long post.
I will provide care with sincerity.
