Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology,

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

​

​

When consulting about lifting at a dermatology clinic near Hapjeong Station,

​

​

many people ask whether they should receive Ulthera and Thermage together.

​

​

I'm looking into Ulthera at Hapjeong Station,

should I get Thermage as well?

​

Do you have to receive both procedures at the same time for longer-lasting effects?

​

​

Because there are many reviews online of people having both procedures together,

​

​

some people naturally assume they must be done together.

​

​

However,in actual clinical practice we do not recommend both procedures to everyone.

​

​

Depending on what changes are currently appearing on the face, one procedure alone can be sufficient,

​

​

and in some cases performing both procedures together may be more appropriate. ^^

​

​

When Ulthera at Hapjeong Station is needed first

​

​

​

​

If, when you look in the mirror,changes in the facial contour catch your eye before skin texture does,

​

​

you may consider Ulthera as a first option.There are cases like that.

​

​

If the jawline has become less defined than before, the cheeks feel sagged, or nasolabial folds appear deeper,

​

​

changes in the deeper layers that support the skin may be contributing.That can be the case.

​

​

Hapjeong StationUlthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasoundto

​

​

deliver energy into the deep layers of the skin for a lifting treatment.

​

​

Because it can stimulate tissues where sagging has begun and help improve facial contours,

​

​

it is a procedure to consider when contour change is the main concern.

​

​

When Thermage at Hapjeong Station is more suitable

​

​

​

​

Conversely, if the facial contour has not changed much but

​

​

the skin feels thinner than before and elasticity seems reduced,the approach may be different.

​

​

If fine wrinkles are increasing, the skin looks dull or rough, and pores are becoming noticeable

​

​

In many cases the cause is decreased elasticity of the dermis.

​

​

Hapjeong Station Thermage uses radiofrequency to induce a thermal response in the dermis and promote collagen regeneration—a lifting procedure.

​

​

You can expect improvements in both skin elasticity and skin texture,

​

​

so it is suitable for those who feel their skin density has decreased.

​

​

Reasons to consider both treatments together

​

​

​

​

Actual aging does not progress in only one way.

​

​

For example, multiple changes often occur together, such as the jawline sagging while skin elasticity decreases at the same time,

​

​

which is most of the time.

​

​

​

​

In such cases,use Hapjeong Station Ulthera to address sagging in the deeper layersand

​

​

use Hapjeong Station Thermage to complement skin elasticity.This is one approach to consider.

​

​

However, using both devices together does not necessarily produce better results for everyone.

​

​

If sagging is not significant, it is not always necessary to perform both procedures,

​

​

and conversely, sometimes improving skin texture alone is not enough to achieve the desired change.

​

​

Ultimately,the reason for combining the two proceduresis

​

​

not to undergo more procedures, but to choose treatment that matches the current condition of the face.

​

​

Hapjeong Station Ulthera Thermage,

the first thing to check is

This is my skin condition

​

​

​

​

Even at the same age,the pattern of facial agingis all different,

​

​

depending on each person's skin thickness and facial fat volume,

​

the areas where sagging has begun,

​

and the degree of decreased elasticitythe

​

​

appropriate treatment plan also differs.

​

​

At Mind Dermatology, I personally handle consultations from the start,

​

​

check the skin condition,

​

​

and consider the current changes and future aging patterns together to plan the necessary proceduresI do.

​

​

​

If you are wondering which treatment—Ulthera or Thermage at Hapjeong Station—is suitable,

​

​

or whether performing both procedures together would be helpful,please consult with a board-certified dermatologist.We hope you will.

​

​

We will treat you with sincere care.

Lee Hong-sun.
