(If you have little to no facial fat, go for Thermage instead of Ultherapy?!) These days, it’s pretty much common knowledge that people with less facial fat
(This is almost common knowledge now) should opt for Thermage over Ultherapy.
(If you have sagging skin and little cheek fat?) For those with loose skin
but not much cheek fat,
actually...
(So, what’s the solution...?)
(Dr.Lee, Chief director of Jfeel clinic) Hello, I'm Dr.Lee, dedicated to bringing out the most beautiful look.
Ultherapy is practically synonymous with HIFU lifting.
Let’s go over some common questions from patients.
(Ultherapy Q1: Why is it so popular?) Why is Ultherapy so widely loved?
In the end, I think its brand reputation plays a role,
but more importantly, it delivers results that live up to that reputation.
My SMAS layer has sagged,
my epidermis isn’t in great shape,
and my pores have enlarged.
So is there a treatment that can lift,
improve elasticity,
and boost collagen
all at once?
That’s exactly what Ultherapy does.
Since it’s the original,
there’s a certain quality that later competitors just can’t quite match.
It's a non-invasive treatment
that provides a lifting effect without incisions or needles,
(Lifts the SMAS layer with minimal downtime) reaching the SMAS layer.
Another big plus is that it has little to no downtime.
(Ultherapy offers long-lasting results) It's also one of the longest-lasting treatments out there.
(Ultherapy Q2. Does it have to hurt to be effective?)
If it doesn’t hurt, did I not get it done properly?
Whether it hurts or not depends on two different standards.
(Why does Ultherapy pain vary? 1. Natural pain sensitivity) First, your inborn pain sensitivity plays a big role.
Some people barely feel
any pain from these procedures,
while others find them extremely painful.
Natural pain sensitivity is something you just can’t override.
(Why does Ultherapy pain vary? 2. Level of anesthesia) The second factor is how well the anesthesia works.
On days when your skin condition isn’t great or you’re feeling fatigued, the anesthesia might not be as effective.
On those days, even at the same intensity,
the treatment can feel more painful.
(When you're in top condition and anesthesia works well?) If you get a good night’s sleep, avoid alcohol,
and come in relaxed, the anesthesia works better.
On those days,
even at the same intensity, the treatment feels much more comfortable.
So, the actual intensity, the number of anesthetic shots,
and the depth of the fascia layer,
which is, if you're going to capture the fascia layer,
is the biggest factor in the difference in effectiveness.
The pain a patient subjectively feels doesn’t always have
a significant impact on the actual results.
Of course, if a patient is in too much pain that day
and the doctor has no choice
but to lower the intensity,
the effectiveness may be slightly reduced.
So when receiving Ultherapy,
I recommend enduring the pain if possible.
If you’ve had Ultherapy
and found the pain unbearable,
you might want to consider
sedation anesthesia as an option.
We offer pain relief injections,
Air-Nox,
also known as laughing gas,
and even sedation anesthesia.
(Ultherapy Q3. If you have little to no facial fat, go for Thermage instead of Ultherapy?) These days, it’s pretty much common knowledge
that people with less facial fat
(This is almost common knowledge now) should opt for Thermage over Ultherapy.
Thermage is an excellent treatment,
and many patients at our clinic choose to get it.
Thermage improves skin elasticity,
but the initial tightening effect is quite mild.
On the other hand, Ultherapy provides strong initial tightening,
and if too much energy is focused on areas with volume loss,
(Strong tightening can make you look more hollow) it can make the face appear even more hollow.
It can also lead to some fat loss.
The effectiveness of Ultherapy depends significantly on the design of the treatment.
(If you have sagging skin and little cheek fat?) For those with loose skin
but not much cheek fat,
if the treatment is well-designed,
targeting the cheekbones and jawline with Ultherapy for tightening
while slightly skipping areas
with significant volume loss, like hollow cheeks,
it can actually create a more lifted, fuller look
and help improve a peanut-shaped face.
By using Thermage to improve overall skin elasticity
and strategically applying Ultherapy only to areas that need tightening,
even those with little facial fat
and hollow cheeks
can still benefit from Ultherapy.
