Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with sincerity,

Chief Director of Mind Dermatology,

I am Dr. Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.

"Between Ulthera and Thermage,

I'm not sure which to get.

Which is more effective?"

Both procedures are considered part of the lifting field"The ultimate"Because it's so famous,

most people who are starting lifting treatments find themselves deeply torn between the two.

But to get straight to the point, these two are actually hard to compare directly.

Not only is the type of energy different, but the effects they produce within the skin (their targets) are completely different. ^^

Today I'll comfortably explain which procedure might suit you better.

1. Ulthera and Thermage,
are completely different from the principle up

These two procedures"lifting"are grouped in the same category and may look similar, but in fact their principles are completely different.

Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

It's the principle of concentrating energy to a single point, like focusing sunlight with a magnifying glass to burn paper.

The key point is that it reaches levels of the skin that in the past could only be addressed surgically,the 4.5mm-deep SMAS layerwithout any incision.

By structurally tightening from this deep layer, it is excellent for restoring collapsed facial contours and the jawline. ^^

On the other hand,Thermageuses radiofrequency (RF) energy.

Rather than pinpointing a specific spot like Ulthera, it targets the more superficial dermal layer across the skin surface.

It delivers heat uniformly throughout the dermis to contract loosened collagen and stimulate new collagen formation.

Instead of lifting sagging areas, it strengthens the elasticity of thin, crepey skin,

This procedure enhances overall facial volume while improving skin texture. ^^

2. Which treatment is suitable for my skin type?

Now that you understand the principle, shall we apply it to your face?

Usually, I guide patients based on what their biggest"concern"is.

"Every time I look in the mirror, my jowls or

the collapsed facial contour bother me."

If so, Ulthera is more likely to be a better fit.

It is very useful for reducing a double chin or the buccal fat to make the face smaller and more slender.

"Aside from the facial contour,

the skin has lost elasticity, fine lines are forming all over,

and the skin feels flaccid."

If that is the case,Thermagecan be a much more satisfying choice.

However, this is only a textbook general guideline.

In reality, everyone has different skin thickness, varying amounts of subcutaneous fat, and different directions and degrees of sagging.

Therefore, a definitive assessmentmust be made by a board-certified dermatologistwho examines your skin in person,

and after a thorough diagnosis. Please remember this! ^^

3. "Doctor, can't I get both treatments together?"

These days, receiving two procedures togetherUlthermageMany people are looking for it.

Because they act on completely different skin layers and have different effects, they work very well together.

To put it simply, Ulthera provides a strong structure and pillars (SMAS layer) when building a house,

Thermage solidifies the bricks and interior (dermis) that fill it in.

Managing evenly from deep layers to the surface both inside and out naturally produces a good synergy.

However, there is an important point to be careful about when combining the two procedures.

Because both treatments use strong thermal energy, they can be a significant stimulus at once for people with very weak or highly sensitive skin barriers.

Instead of recklessly being greedy,it is safer to first get a specialist's diagnosis to determine whether your skin can sufficiently tolerate and regenerate from this stimulus.

I hope today's post has served as a guide for those considering lifting,

and if you need an accurate diagnosis tailored to your skin condition, please feel free to visit Mind Dermatology Clinic anytime.

We will always provide care with sincerity.
