Ulthera lifting for the entire face requires treatment tailored to each individual

As the weather becomes colder and drier, skin concerns such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity deepen. Even if the skin is healthy, around the age of 30, starting with fine wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, the entire face gradually begins to sag.

To improve skin elasticity, you often drink water or use expensive elastic cosmetics, but these are mostly preventive measures or can only provide temporary and superficial results.

JAYJUN Dermatology Director Kang Minji (dermatologist, photo) says, “To fundamentally improve the skin, skin care treatments using laser and ultrasound equipment, which have been actively introduced recently, can be an alternative.”

Among these, Ulthera lifting is a treatment that uses HIFU technology, a high-intensity focused ultrasound, to irradiate energy to the deep layers of the skin to induce a collagen production reaction.

According to Director Kang, compared to shallow lifting procedures that only reach the surface, Ulthera is differentiated in that it can deliver heat energy to the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, which is the main cause of skin aging.

Energy that penetrates deep into the skin induces a collagen production response and at the same time helps reduce fat, which can help improve elasticity and refine facial contours.

Anti-aging treatment using Ulthera can cover not only local areas such as the forehead, nasolabial folds, and mouth, but also the entire face, helping to create a slim and nearly symmetrical face shape.

Director Minji Kang explained, "Ulthera Lifting is a skin elasticity improvement program that is attracting attention around the world, and it shows high satisfaction even in patients with thick skin or patients with deep and sporadic wrinkles."

However, Dr. Kang advised, "It is essential to check whether the equipment is genuine before the procedure. It is also a good idea to carefully diagnose and reflect the type and degree of facial asymmetry and the level of decrease in skin elasticity for each patient to ensure that the treatment is performed."

Director Kang also said, "If you do not use genuine Ulthera equipment and tips that use high-intensity ultrasound energy, it may lead to side effects such as severe pain, heat, or burns." Dr. Kang added, “Because the energy dose must be adjusted to the individual’s skin condition, it is also important to check whether an experienced dermatologist directly consults with the patient, plans the treatment, and performs it.”
