DMC Dermatology Clinic Ulthera, why is it called an S-grade lifting procedure?

Mind Dermatology, changing the essence of skin with care

Care that begins with empathy

Viewing the skin not as a mere condition

but as the result of the patient's concerns and time.

Not overlooking even small changes,

the consultation begins with listening and understanding thoroughly,

and then medical care starts.

< Personalized lifting care based on balance >

Rather than trends or excessive changes,

we aim to preserve inherent beauty,

proposing treatments that balance medical standards and individual expectations,

suitable for the patient's skin.

Premium care that plans the entire process

from consultation to procedure and follow-up,

with a board-certified dermatologist directly involved,

creating natural and comfortable results.

Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Director of Mind Dermatology,

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

"Why on earth is Ulthera

so famous?

Does it have some special effect?"

Every year, new devices enter the lifting procedure market.

By the way,there is a lifting device that has maintained its reputation for over 15 years,did you know?

It isUlthera.

Even though it has been on the market for a long time, Ulthera is still referred to as a standard for lifting procedures.

Why is it so well-known?

From now on, I will explain the reasons Ulthera has been favored for a long time ^^

Please focus for a moment :)

DMC Dermatology Ulthera

What is Ulthera?

Ulthera is a lifting procedure that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to the deep dermis and SMAS layer, creating focused thermal coagulation points.

A particularly notable aspect of Ulthera is that energy can be reliably delivered to the SMAS layer.

The SMAS layer is a fascial structure that connects facial muscles and the skin; when this layer loosens, the entire skin tends to sag and facial contours collapse.

Ulthera applies thermal stimulation directly to this deep SMAS layer in a non-invasive way without incision,

which induces collagen regeneration and can improve altered contours and increase elasticity,so it is still considered one of the representative lifting procedures.

Is it better than cheaper procedures?

"But Ulthera is relatively expensive...

Wouldn't receiving several slightly cheaper treatments

actually yield better results?"

In fact, many people ask this question during lifting consultations.

There is no single correct answer for which procedure is best, but Ulthera does have clear strengths.

Lifting procedures that act only on the dermis or relatively superficial layers, even if repeated 3–4 times, generally cannot improve facial contours.

However, Ulthera can properly stimulate the SMAS layer with a single treatment,

so getting it once a year can provide relatively stable results.

It's hard to say that one Ulthera session completely replaces three to four other treatments,

but it's true that there are areas only Ulthera can cover,.

If the intensity is lowered, will it hurt less?

"I've heard a lot that the Ulthera effect is good,

and I want to try it once myself, but...

I've heard it's a bit painful, so I'm worried!

If the energy is lowered

will the pain be somewhat reduced?"

Yes, that's correct.

Lowering the energy is likely to reduce the pain accordingly.

Of course, if the patient truly cannot tolerate it, we adjust the energy to a level that can still produce effect when performing the procedure, but

I usually recommend a once-a-year treatment and suggest that it's better to endure a bit of discomfort to receive it properly,^^

because Ulthera requires sufficient temperature increase in the SMAS layer for collagen denaturation and regeneration to properly begin, and the pain is often caused by that heat sensation.

However, if the energy is reduced too much because it's too hot, the heat may not be delivered sufficiently to the target layer, and the effect could end up being weak.

Therefore, after discussing thoroughly, I prefer to perform the treatment maintaining an appropriate energy level within the patient's tolerable range. ^^

Of course, greater pain does not necessarily mean greater effect, but

the skin temperature needs to reach a certain level to induce lifting effects properly, so

for patients with high pain sensitivity, I often recommend extending the application time of topical anesthetic or offering calming and cooling measures together during the procedure.

I hope you keep this in mind when you receive an Ulthera treatment. ^^

As we reviewed today, Ulthera remains one of the representative procedures for lifting.

However, even so, the results can vary depending on how it is used for each individual’s skin.

So,experienced medical staff with extensive Ulthera experience who can properly understand your skin,I strongly recommend that you undergo treatment together with them ^^

I will provide care with sincerity.
