Ultherapy FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Ultherapy, answered by our dermatology clinic in Gangnam, Seoul.
A.
Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy to the fascial (SMAS) layer beneath the skin's surface to tighten sagging skin and improve elasticity. The number of shots and energy intensity can be adjusted. If pain is a concern, a pain care system is used to reduce discomfort, and the procedure can also be performed under safe sleep anesthesia, allowing for a painless and comfortable experience.
A.
AB Design Ultherapy lifting uses real-time ultrasound imaging to monitor the skin and accurately distribute shots to the targeted layers. After a one-on-one consultation and design, the procedure takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
A.
The cheek area of the face has an anatomical structure that makes it prone to fat loss. If the treatment is applied excessively, it can lead to fat loss and the risk of hollowing of the cheeks. AB Design Ultherapy minimizes this risk by providing a one-on-one consultation and design before the treatment, where we customize the number of shots and intensity based on individual skin condition and the degree of aging, reducing concerns about cheek hollowing.
A.
Ultherapy lifting is a suitable treatment for those struggling with sagging skin and fine lines. It allows for immediate resumption of daily activities without the need for recovery time after the procedure. The effects of the treatment typically become visible 1-2 months after the procedure, and the lifting effects can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year.
A.
Ultherapy lifting stimulates the relaxed muscles, which are the cause of sagging skin and wrinkles, and pulls the skin tightly to lift it. By targeting the fascial layer more precisely, it provides a powerful lifting effect, improves wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, tightens pores, and promotes skin remodeling through collagen regeneration deep within the skin.
A.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to deeply target the SMAS layer of the skin. This energy causes tissue coagulation and contraction, which leads to lifting and improved skin elasticity. The reason why wrinkles disappear or the facial contours become firmer after the treatment is due to this principle.
