Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with sincerity,

Director of Mind Dermatology,

"Lately my jawline is sagging,

and my facial contours look blunted, so I'm worried."

"I want to try Ulthera,

but my cheeks are hollow and my expression...

I'm worried it will make me tired.

As we age, the jawline can soften and the area around the mouth may sag, so people start looking into lifting procedures.

But when you actually consider the procedure, during the process of pulling the face, you may worry whether the cheeks will become hollow or your expression will look unnatural, making it hard for some people to decide right away.

Lifting doesn't necessarily produce satisfactory results just by delivering strong energy.

So today, we'll look at what to check to reduce cheek hollowing and what to consider for a natural facial contour, so let's find out!

Why adjusting energy according to skin condition is important

1. Lifting design that changes with face shape and expressions

Lifting design

The face looks slightly different when at rest versus when smiling or speaking.

Because the muscles and fat layers move together, rather than focusing only on pulling the skin upward, it is necessary to consider the overall facial contour.That's why.

In particular, instead of pulling strongly just because the jawline or the area around the mouth appears sagging,

you should first check how the face shape and volume are normally distributed.^^

For people with less cheek fullness and those with relatively more fat, the factors to consider can differ even if they receive the same treatment.

Therefore, before the procedure, how hollow the cheeks are, how much the jawline has sagged, and the balance between the left and right sides of the face should be examined together.

2. Skin structure checked with real-time ultrasound

Ulthera is a lifting treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy to specific depths within the skin.

Mangwon-dong Dermatology

Beneath the skin are several tissues such as the dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, and fascial layer, and the thickness and position of each layer vary slightly from person to person.

Ulthera real-time ultrasound imagingallows these tissues to be visualized during the procedure,

which helps assess skin thickness and tissue condition in each area and assists in selecting appropriate treatment depth and tips.

3. Why adjusting energy to skin condition is important

Important reason

When considering Ulthera, some people compare shot counts like 300 shots or 600 shots.

However, a higher number of shots does not necessarily lead to better results.

Because required energy and treatment range can vary depending on skin thickness, fat distribution, and degree of sagging, the necessary energy and treatment rangemay differ.

Especially for those with little cheek fullness or existing cheek hollowing, the treatment sites and energy settings need to be determined more carefully.

If you are considering Ulthera, rather than deciding based only on positive reviews from around you or the number of shots,

think first about what changes your face currently needs.I hope you start from that.

Mangwon-dong Dermatology

Rather than aiming only for immediately noticeable changes so that the original harmony of the face is naturally maintained over time We recommend approaching it with caution.

I will provide care with sincerity.

Ulthera Q&A

Question	Answer
Q. How much pain or irritation can be expected after the procedure?	A. Ulthera can cause a dull ache or a tingling sensation as it creates thermal coagulation points within the skin. The degree of pain can vary depending on individual sensitivity, the treatment area, energy settings, and other factors. Discuss pain management options thoroughly before the procedure, and inform the medical staff immediately if you feel discomfort during the treatment.
Q. How can hollowed cheeks or an unnatural facial contour be prevented?	A. It is important to carefully assess skin thickness, fat distribution, and the degree of cheek hollowness before the procedure. However, since these steps alone cannot completely prevent complications, the decision on whether to perform the procedure and its extent should be made carefully based on the individual's facial condition.
Q. When do effects appear and how long do they last?	A. You may feel an immediate tightening sensation after the procedure, but subsequent changes vary between individuals. Changes from collagen remodeling may appear over time, and generally changes can be observed over 1–2 months after the procedure.
