Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic,

I am Hongseon Lee, a board-certified dermatologist with 17 years of experience.

​

​

"I spent a lot to get an expensive lifting treatment, but after a few months it feels like it’s sagging again."

​

​

This is one of the complaints I hear very often during Mapo Ulthera consultations in the clinic.

​

​

People who have had this experience often ask,"Was the procedure done wrong?"She is very worried about it.

​

​

Mapo Ulthera

​

To begin with,

​

​

this is more likely because the underlying cause of facial sagging hasn't been addressed, rather than a problem confined to the skin surface.​

​

​

Today I'll talk comfortably about how to regain lost elasticity,

​

​

and the key points for maintaining the effects of Ulthera more stably and for a longer time.

​

It's also good to look at the deeper support for the face within the skin.

As we age, it's not just collagen or fat at the skin surface that decreases.

​

​

​

​

The deeper structures that firmly supported the bone and fat in the skin,the 'strength of the facial muscles,' weakens.This is a more fundamental cause.

​

​

In addition, habits like clenching the jaw, which can excessively develop the masticatory muscles, or tilting the head down to look at a smartphone, also accelerate aging.

​

​

If you leave this imbalance of the deep muscles as is and apply Ulthera energy only to the skin surface, what happens?

​

​

​

​

It may look tight for a few days, but because the roots that support the skin are unstable,

​

​

it will inevitably return to the previous appearance before long.

2. Pre-conditioning muscles, then laser lifting — synergy

​

Ulthera delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to the deep fascial layer (SMAS layer) beneath the skin,

​

​

causing tissue contraction and promoting collagen production.

​

​

​

​

Because it targets the precise layer, it is an excellent device for firming sagging facial contours.

​

​

However, to obtain the full benefit of this good device,

​

​

I recommend the sequence 'pre-condition the muscles, then perform laser lifting.'

​

​

​

​

First, areas that unconsciously hold excessive tension, such as the glabella or jaw, should be relaxed with Botox to reduce tension,

​

​

while areas that are sagging and weak should be strengthened with light face-stretching exercises in daily life.

​

​

What happens if you strengthen the foundational balance of facial muscles first and then proceed with Ulthera?

​

​

​

​

With the synergy of the two procedures,you can experience the satisfying changes I expected much more strongly and for a longer duration.

​

A customized treatment plan to reduce concerns about midface hollowing

​

Ulthera requires a completely different approach depending on the person and the facial area.

​

​

​

​

What happens if the same intensity and method are applied to everyone without considering each individual's muscle and bony structure?

​

​

Unwanted fat loss in some areas can create hollows in the face, making one look older,"midface hollowing",the same side effect can occur.

​

​

​

​

Therefore, it is essential to precisely assess skin thickness and fat volume by area before treatment,and to carefully adjust the depth of energy and target layers.

​

​

The most important thing to protect against aging and regain elasticity is,

​

​

not to blindly follow the treatments that are popular with others.But to properly identify the real cause of your facial sagging,that's right.

​

​

​

I will treat you sincerely.
