Hello.
Improving the essence of skin with care,
Medical Director of Mind Dermatology
I am Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.
“I had Ulthera,
but over time,
it feels like my skin sags again.
Was the procedure done incorrectly?”
Some patients express disappointment that their skin seems to sag again after Ulthera.
That doesn't necessarily mean there was a problem with the procedure itself.
Facial sagging isn't determined by skin elasticity alone,
beneath the skinmovement of soft tissue, fat, and muscle, and habitual facial expressionsall these factors can together have an influence.

Today I'll discuss what to review first to enhance Ulthera's effect.
Ulthera delivers energy deep into the skin
Ulthera isa procedure that delivers ultrasound energy to deeper skin layers to assist liftingin other words,
it doesn't only stimulate the skin surface,but targets deeper skin layers with energywhich is a distinguishing feature.

However, not all facial sagging starts solely from the skin.
In some cases the skin's elasticity has decreased,andchanges in the soft tissue or fat beneath the skincan also occur together.
Additionally,the way facial muscles are usedorrepetitive facial expression habitscan also have an impact, so it's necessary to review these aspects together.

If the facial muscles are very tense, you may consider Botox
When talking about facial sagging, it's easy to think only of the skin and soft tissues,but which muscles you habitually usecan also have an effect.
For example,a habit of clenching one's teeththat puts a lot of tension around the jaw,
or repeatedly using specific muscles such as frequently frowning between the brows,can occur.
If there are unnecessarily tense muscles like this,a process to control the movement of those muscles may benecessary.

In this case, using Botoxcan help reduce the movement of overused muscles and decrease repeated muscle tension.It can assist with reducing the repetitive muscle strain.
However, that does not mean giving a large amount of Botox is always better.
It's important to observe which muscles are most used and most tense when making expressions,and apply an appropriate dose to the necessary areas.

There is a reason to consider Botox and Ulthera together
Ulthera helps improve skin sagging, but it is not a procedure that directly controls the movements of the muscles that influence facial contours.
Conversely, Botox does not serve to improve sagging of the skin or soft tissues.
So if muscle tension and sagging occur together,
We approach by first controlling the muscles and then lifting the sagging skin and soft tissues with Ulthera.This can be done.

Of course, that doesn't mean everyone should receive Botox first.
This sequence may be considered when muscle tension is prominent,and if sagging of the skin and soft tissues is the main issue, we may approach with Ulthera aloneas well.
After all, receiving Ulthera does not mean the same method is used in every case.
Depending on what changes are currently present in the facial contour, Botox and Ultheracan be combined differently and performed in a different order,which may vary.

When planning Ulthera treatment, we don't just look at skin laxity,
we also assess the condition of the muscles that can affect the facial contour after the procedure.We check these together.
We reduce unnecessary muscle tension and naturally lift sagging skin and soft tissues,creating a more satisfying facial contourfor you.
We will provide care with sincerity.
