Incheon Ultherapy: Effective Areas and Benefits
Incheon Ultherapy: Which Areas Are Effective? A Breakdown by Area
Hello, I'm Dr. Yeo Gyeong-min, director of Miindo Clinic's Plastic Surgery and Dermatology department. Many people are concerned about sagging skin, double chins that blur facial contours, and a noticeable loss of elasticity as they age.
However, because surgery can be 부담 (burdensome), many seek methods that are more natural and don't disrupt their daily lives.
A representative non-surgical lifting procedure to consider in such cases is 'Ultherapy'.
It allows for elasticity improvement without skin incision and has a short recovery period, making it a popular option for those with busy schedules.
However, the results can vary depending on individual skin condition, elasticity, and age, so accurate diagnosis and meticulous planning are crucial.
Chapter 01:
Energy Delivery Methods Varying by Skin Layer Depth
Ultherapy is a device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy not only to the dermis but also to the deeper SMAS layer.
It works by applying heat to the tissue to induce collagen regeneration and contract existing structures, creating a lifting effect.
It's highly satisfying because it can non-surgically stimulate the layers that were previously only accessible through surgical lifting.
Since the structure of the skin varies by area, accurate skin layer analysis and customized planning are essential, rather than a simple mechanical approach. This difference significantly impacts the results.
Chapter 02:
Which Areas Are Ultherapy Effective For?
One of the most frequently asked questions is: Which areas are effective for Incheon Ultherapy?
The procedure can be applied to various areas such as the forehead, eye area, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Since skin thickness varies by area, depth adjustment is also important. It can be summarized as follows:
Area
Depth
Expected Effects
Forehead / Eye Area
1.5mm ~ 3.0mm
Eyebrow lifting, fine line reduction
Cheeks / Jawline
3.0mm ~ 4.5mm
V-line improvement, skin tightening
Neck
3.0mm
Neck wrinkle reduction, elasticity enhancement
To maximize the effect by delicately delivering energy to thinner areas at a lower depth and to wider areas at a deeper level, customized planning based on skin condition and areas of concern is necessary.
※ Results may vary depending on individual skin condition, lifestyle habits, and the extent of the procedure. ※

'Ultherapy' with Minimal Disruption to Daily Life After the Procedure
Q: Can I return to my daily life immediately after the procedure?
A: Of course!
Ultherapy doesn't require a long recovery period, so you can undergo the procedure now without significant disruption to your daily life.
Redness or a feeling of tightness may temporarily occur, but these usually subside within a day.
After the procedure, it's helpful to maintain basic care such as sunscreen and moisturizing. It's also advisable to avoid high-temperature environments or strong stimuli for about a week.
Ultherapy provides a gradual lifting effect over several weeks to months.
To maintain the effect for a longer period, you may consider additional treatments at 6-month to 1-year intervals.
Chapter 04:
Results Depend on the Practitioner's Skill
Even when using the same equipment, the results can vary depending on who performs the procedure.
The role of a skilled healthcare provider who accurately understands the anatomical structure of the face and knows which layers to target with energy is crucial.
To minimize side effects, it's important to have a consultation and meticulous adjustments tailored to your facial condition, rather than just a simple lifting procedure.
Many people worry about side effects, but if energy is delivered accurately at the correct depth and intensity,
you can expect natural and stable results.
Before the procedure, we recommend that you comprehensively consider your skin condition, the range of changes you expect, and the duration of maintenance, and make a decision after consulting with an experienced healthcare provider.
