Hello. I’m Dr. Lee Hong-seon, a board-certified dermatologist with 17 years of experience and the founding director of Mind Dermatology, where we focus on improving the essence of your skin with care. “Between Thermage and Ulthera, which one is better for my face?” When I’m consulting with patients about facial lifting, I often encounter people who are torn between these two procedures. Since both are procedures people often look into when their skin’s elasticity has decreased and their facial contours have started to sag, they often compare them—starting with which one is more effective or how many shots are needed. However, Thermage and Ulthera are not treatments that address the skin in the same way to begin with. So, if you’re considering a lifting treatment at Sangam Dermatology, rather than looking for an answer as to which of the two devices is better, you should focus on what changes are already appearing on your face first...
