Hello.

This is Mind Dermatology, committed to sincerely improving the essence of skin,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology,

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

​

​

A few days after receiving Ulthera,

I still don't see any major changes.

Does that mean it doesn't work?

​

​

That's a question I hear very often during Ulthera consultations.

​

​

Both those considering the procedure and those who have already had it and come for follow-up often say similar things.

​

​

In short, most people do not need to worry.

​

​

Ulthera is a lifting treatment whose changes appear over time rather than immediately.This is because.

​

​

Today, focusing on the questions I most often receive in the clinic,

​

​

I'll explain the process by which Mapo Station Ulthera effects appear and what's important to maintain them for a long time.

​

​

Mapo Station Ulthera

Why the effect is not visible immediately

​

​

​

​

Ulthera is a lifting treatment that delivers ultrasound energy to the deep fascial layer (SMAS) of the skin.

​

​

In this process,new collagenproduction and a recovery process begin.

​

​

Therefore,the skin gradually regains elasticity over time rather than immediately after the procedure.

​

​

Some people occasionally feel that their jawline looks more defined immediately after the procedure.

​

​

Thisis often due to temporary tissue contraction or accompanying swelling.

​

​

The actual expected​lifting effect is gradually produced as the skin undergoes its own recovery.

​

​

Mapo Station Ulthera effects,

even if not visible, begin beneath the skin

​

​

​

​

The period many people find most worrying

​

​

is the 2–4 weeks following the procedure.

​

​

The swelling has gone down to some extent, but there isn't a noticeable change yet.

​

​

However, even at this stagethe process of new collagen formationcontinues beneath the skin.

​

​

Even if it looks quiet on the surface, the skin is continuing a period of preparing the lifting effect.

​

​

So when I review progress,

​

​

"There is no effect yet."

​

rather than saying,

​

​

​

"This is the time when changes begin."

​

I explain it that way far more often.

​

​

Even with the same Ulthera,

reasons results differ

​

​

​

​

Even with the same Ulthera treatment, satisfaction and longevity can vary from person to person.

​

​

In clinical practice,even if patients worry about the same sagging, the causes are all different,you see.

​

​

For some, skin elasticity declined first,

​

​

while for others the jawline may appear collapsed due to the distribution of facial fat.

​

​

So before I begin a procedure,

​

​

I first check skin thickness,

​

distribution of fat,

​

and the direction of sagging.

​

​

Even with the same Ulthera,

​

​

I tailor itto the current condition of the skin.

​

​

because the process of determining the energy depth and treatment range often makes the difference in results.

​

​

Mapo Station Ulthera effect

How to maintain it for a long time

​

​

​

​

Satisfaction with Ulthera often depends more on post-procedure care than immediately after the treatment.

​

​

Basically, consistently protect from UV and keep the skin moisturized and

​

​

avoid environments like saunas or public bathhouses where intense heat is applied to the skin for an extended time for a few days—this is recommended.

​

​

Also, depending on the skin condition,combining skin boosters that aid regeneration or other lifting treatmentswhen performed,

​

​

can help increase the duration of effect and overall satisfactionin some cases.

​

​

Of course, the same treatment is not necessary for everyone.

​

​

It is important to first assess the current skin condition and only plan combined treatments when necessary.

​

​

Mapo Station Ulthera

Good results begin with diagnosis

​

​

​

​

Lifting procedures are not determined by the device alone.

​

​

Ulthera is a good device.

​

​

However, how that device isused on whom and according to what criteria determines satisfactionI believe.

​

​

If you are currently considering Ulthera at Mapo Station,

​

​

rather than comparing only when the effects appear,

​

​

I recommend first checking whether the treatment matches your current skin condition.
