People who are concerned about visible wrinkles and reduced skin elasticity due to aging often consider laser lifting procedures. This is because they can improve overall skin firmness through non-invasive methods without the need for incisions. Among these, Ultherapy lifting is a well-established anti-aging treatment that continues to be widely popular.

Ultherapy is the original ultrasound lifting device approved by the U.S. FDA. It delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to the dermal layer and the deeper SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), promoting collagen regeneration and effectively improving wrinkles, skin elasticity, and sagging.

Ultherapy lifting uses tips of different depths—1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm—to deliver energy. By precisely and evenly targeting different skin layers, it allows for customized treatments tailored to each individual.

• The 1.5 mm tip targets nasolabial folds and the front cheek area
• The 3.0 mm tip targets the side cheekbones, deep cheek fat, and double chin
• The 4.5 mm tip helps lift the SMAS layer, focusing on the jawline and overall facial contour

For effective Ultherapy lifting, it is essential to analyze each person’s skin type and thickness and use customized tips accordingly. Many people focus on low prices or promotional deals, but rather than simply choosing the cheapest option, it is more important to select a reliable dermatology clinic to ensure both safety and satisfactory results.

Using a higher number of shots or stronger energy does not necessarily lead to better outcomes. The procedure should be performed using the appropriate number of shots and energy level suited to the individual’s skin.

Since skin thickness and elasticity vary from person to person, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning are necessary before performing a customized procedure.

In particular, the authenticity of the equipment and tips used during the procedure is crucial. Patients should check whether the device is an official product approved by the U.S. FDA and whether genuine, single-use tips are being used. Previously used tips may reduce effectiveness or cause side effects. It is important to confirm that genuine disposable tips are used and that an official certification and sticker are provided before undergoing the procedure.

Director Yoo Soo-hyung of DA Plastic Surgery Clinic explains, “Ultherapy is a representative ultrasound lifting treatment. Before the procedure, a personalized Ultherapy design chart should be used to assess skin thickness and nerve pathways, allowing for detailed treatment based on the appropriate depth and type of tip.”

He added, “For safe treatment, it is essential to check whether the medical staff has sufficient experience and whether the clinic uses genuine tips.”​
