Hello.
This is Mind Dermatology, devoted to improving the essence of the skin,
Medical Director
Hongseon Lee, MD, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.
“Between Thermage and Ulthera,
which suits my face better?”
During lifting consultations, many people hesitate between the two procedures.
Because both are often researched when skin laxity and sagging facial contours begin to appear,
patients compare which one is stronger or how many shots are needed.
However,Thermage and Ulthera are not procedures that treat the skin in the same way to begin with.
So if you are considering a lifting treatment at Sangam Dermatology,
rather than trying to find which of the two devices is better,
it's better to classify based on which changes are appearing first on your face.
Today I'll explain what actual signs we look at to distinguish Thermage and Ulthera. ^^
Faces that are suitable for Ulthera
and faces that are suitable for Thermage—how do they differ?

The biggest differences between the two proceduresare the method of energy delivery and the depths they mainly target,respectively.

So if the cheeks or jawline have descended and the facial contour itself has become less defined than before, Ulthera can be considered.

On the other hand, Thermageuses radiofrequency energytoA method that delivers thermal energy to the skin to induce changes in collagen.That's the idea.
If the skin is looser than before and you also notice fine lines or changes in skin texture, Thermagecan be one option.
When I explain the two procedures at Sangam Dermatology, I don't simply group them as ''it's sagging so do a lift'That's why.
Whether the deeper layers that define the facial contour show greater change,
or whether the loss of the skin's own elasticity is more noticeable,the treatment to consider first can differ.
If there is little facial fat or the skin is thin,
what kind of lifting should you consider?

Having little facial fat doesn't mean you can't get Ulthera, nor does thin skin mean you must only do Thermage.
However, in such faces,you also need to consider what should be left as well as what to pull.
For example, if the area under the cheekbone or the temples are already sunken and the face looks sagging,
strongly lifting even the volume-deficient areas may not match the desired outcome.
Conversely, if the face has little fat but the tissue around the jawline has descended,
you might focus the approach on that area.
So when we see thin faces at Sangam Dermatology,we don't simply check the amount of fat,.
we distinguish where volume is lost and where tissue has actually descended.
Sunken areas and sagging can look similar in the mirror, but they are different changes that must be distinguished when treating.That's why.

Is it better to have more shots?
.gif?type=w966)
Having more shots doesn't necessarily mean a proportionally greater change.
Because a shot is a delivery of energy, it must be considered together with the area to be treated to be meaningful.This is important.
For example,using 300 shots of Ulthera focused on the jawline and lower face,
and distributing them widely over the whole face,even with the same 300 shots, the treatment plan differs.
The same applies to Thermage.
You can't just increase the number without considering face size, skin surface area, and the extent of loss of elasticity.Simply increasing the number alone should not be the goal.
So, in lifting consultations at Sangam Dermatology Clinic,
along with "How many shots is it?"
I hope you also check "How will those shots be allocated to my concern areas?"
Please check that as well.
Because the actual treated area should match your concerns more than the number.
If you receive Thermage and Ulthera
together, is it better?
.gif?type=w966)
Because the two procedures target different areas, there are cases where they are considered together.There are.
For example, if you have sagging at the jawline and lower face
and reduced elasticity or fine lines in the cheek skin at the same time,
it may be difficult to address all concerns with a single procedure.
In these cases using Ulthera to treat deeper layerswhile
usingThermage to also improve skin firmnesscan be considered.
However, doing both together is not always better.
If sagging is not severe and only skin firmness has decreased, you might consider Thermage alone,
whereas if deeper sagging beneath the skin surface is the main concern, you could plan around Ulthera.
When comparing Thermage and Ulthera, you may find yourself focusing on which device is stronger,
or how many shots you should receive.
But
whether the change you want on your face is the jawline and contour,
the skin's own firmness,
or both occurring together,
will affect the choice.
If you're considering a lifting treatment at Sangam Dermatology,
rather than deciding on Thermage or Ulthera from the start,
please tell me which area you feel has changed first on your face these days.
I'll assess which layer of the skin the change started from,
and whether volume loss or sagging is playing a larger role, then design the treatment plan for you.
I will treat you with sincerity.
Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic,
Hong-sun Lee.
