​

Hello.​

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology

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

​

​

Laser treatments that induce skin regeneration using high energy have become very popular recently.

​

​

​

​

This is because they can provide a non-invasive approach to firm the skin from within without surgical scarring.

​

​

However, because Ulthera delivers high energy,you may experience unwanted burns or side effects such as cheek volume loss.

​

​

Today I will explain the reasons this phenomenon occurs and how to prevent it.

​

​

How does Ulthera increase skin firmness?

​

As many people know,Ulthera is a HIFU-based lifting device that uses powerful ultrasound,indeed.

​

​

Recently, interest has grown further with the release of the upgraded Ulthera Prime device.

​

​

​

​

At the Mapo-gu Office Station dermatology clinic, Ultherais characterized by delivering precise energy to the deeper fascial layer while not causing major irritation to the skin surface,which is its feature.

​

​

The heat induced in this waycauses tissue contraction and helps stimulate regeneration of internal elastin and collagen,right.

​

​

Because it transmits energy to a specific depth and induces gradual change, the result is emphasized as more natural than artificial.

​

​

​

Why does 'hollowness of the cheeks' come up in discussion?

​

However, results can vary depending on the target area that the Mapo-gu Office Station dermatology clinic's Ulthera aims for.

​

​

If energy is accurately delivered to the fascial layer, it can help improve sagging and restore firmness.

​

​

Butif it acts excessively in the fat layer, there is a risk of side effects,as well.

​

​

​

​

One of those concerns that many people worry aboutis 'cheek hollowness',indeed.

​

​

There is a reason why pre-procedure diagnosis is important.

​

In fact, I don't think cheek hollowness appears the same way in everyone.

​

​

This is because each patient differs in skin thickness, facial structure, and the location and amount of fat.

​

​

Even on the same face, some areas often have thicker fat layers while others are relatively thin.

​

​

​

​

Therefore, before a procedure it is important to thoroughly assess the current skin condition and tailor the approach accordingly.

​

​

If you increase intensity without precise analysis or set the wrong depth in areas with little fat, the hollowness can become more pronounced.

​

​

​

Delicate adjustments are also necessary.

​

Just because Ulthera is a popular procedure at Mapo-gu Office Station dermatology, I hope you won't assume it should be applied to you without consideration.

​

​

You need to be more cautious if you have little facial fat or thin skin.

​

​

So I try to assess not only the degree of sagging but also the patient’s daily habits, stress, and overall health.

​

​

If you proceed recklessly without a clear judgment, you may be satisfied immediately but later the face may look sunken or appear gaunt.This can occur.

​

​

​

​

The cheek hollowness that can occur after Ulthera at the Mapo-gu Office Station dermatology cliniccan be preventedthrough precise diagnosis and meticulous care by the medical staff.

​

​

So rather than looking only at price, be sure to check whether the medical staff are experienced and whether they provide thorough consultation.

​

​

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

​

​

We will provide care with sincerity.

Mind Dermatology Clinic, Chief Medical Director

Lee Hong-seon.
