[Doctor's Column] Ultherapy Prime: Why Do People Say It's "No Different"?
The undisputed king of ultrasound lifting 1 When discussing Ulthera, I often hear comments like this. .
" Actually, I've had Ultherapy before. , I didn't feel like anything had changed much. ."
Cases where satisfaction was low even after receiving lifting equipment , The cause is mostly in the access sequence, not the equipment. . Today, I will look into the reason. .
1. The face does not age in a single layer.
Facial sagging and aging do not occur due to a single cause. . It appears as three major layers collapse together. .
structure — As the volume of the facial bones and the deep fat layer above them decreases , The supporting pillar collapses. .
fascia layer (SMAS) — The support structure that lifted the face from beneath the skin gradually sags. . High-intensity focused ultrasound like Ultherapy Prime (HIFU) This is the part handled by the equipment. .
dermis — As collagen and moisture retention decrease, the surface becomes thin and rough. .
Most people who come for consultations only consider the fascia layer among these. . It is not a wrong approach, but , If the other two layers are also collapsed, you may not feel a significant difference even if you only lift the fascia. .
2. Layers treated by Ultherapy Prime , Layers that cannot be handled
Ultherapy Prime is a procedure that precisely delivers thermal stimulation to the fascia layer to contract tissue and induce collagen regeneration. . However, I would like to distinguish between what this equipment can and cannot do. .
Things you can do — Tightening and lifting the stretched fascia again
Things that cannot be done — Fill in the volume that is already off or , Rebuilding the collapsed structure itself
" I got Ultherapy, but it's exactly the same. " There are many cases like this behind such statements. . It wasn't that we lacked equipment. , We have covered only one of the three layers. .
3. The design varies depending on the floor.
In the case where the structure collapsed — We build the pillars first with a volume-filling procedure. . Radiesse contains collagen-inducing ingredients, so you can expect immediate volume and even the production of your own collagen over time. .
When the fascia layer is the main cause — Precisely tighten that layer with Ultherapy Prime. .
When the dermis has thinned — Fill in the gaps with a skin booster. . Belotero Revive plays a role in replenishing moisture and density within the dermis. .
In what order are the three things? , The result varies depending on how you combine them. . This is why we first check which floor is the problem during the consultation. .
4. I especially recommend this in such cases.
· For those who received a lifting procedure in the past but did not feel the results as much as expected
· For those who felt a pulling sensation but felt something was missing
· For those who have both sagging and hollowness and are unsure where to start
5. Things you should check before a consultation
If you are considering Ultherapy Prime , I recommend asking this during the consultation. .
· Is sagging the problem with my face? , Is the power turning off a problem? ?
· Could you also look at the filling part, in addition to the pulling part? ?
· Do you recommend just one piece of equipment? , Do you design it differently depending on the floor? ?
Depending on whether a specific answer to such questions is provided , You can gauge how personalized the consultation is. .
Of course, even if all three of these factors are considered, there are individual differences in the results. . swelling , bruise , Temporary flushing or pain may commonly occur, and , It takes a few weeks to a few months for the full effects to appear. .
[👉 An expert's closing line ]
" Pulling and filling are different matters. . You have to look at these two together to see the real result. ."
