Ulthera is one of the lifting lasers I am most fond of.
Before the procedure: 2023.07.10 – After the procedure: 2024.08.23
This photo was posted with consent and is an unedited, original photo of the same person taken in the same location.
The results of each procedure may vary, so please have a thorough consultation beforehand regarding possible side effects (such as pigmentation, bruising, or swelling).
Ultimately, Ulthera has the advantage of creating thermal coagulation points in the targeted tissue layer to produce a lifting effect.
Since the areas that sag and need improvement differ from person to person, the required number of shots, treatment areas, and overall design of Ulthera also vary for each individual.
When the appropriate number of shots is applied to the areas that truly need treatment, you can see improvement in sagging and the jawline without causing hollowing of the cheeks.
“The results are satisfying, but how long do they last? How often do I need the treatment?”
People who receive Ulthera regularly tend to develop an intuitive sense of when and how many shots they will need next. However, those who have experienced Ulthera only once or twice often wonder how long the satisfying results will last and when they should repeat the treatment.
Although it varies depending on the number of shots previously used and the degree of sagging, on average, we recommend Ulthera about once a year.
The effects can vary depending on the number of shots needed and the areas treated for each individual. More importantly, the most crucial factor is whether Ulthera is suitable for your face in the first place.
For this reason, I hope you don’t decide to undergo the procedure too easily based only on word of mouth or simple reviews.
Ulthera is a lifting treatment that can improve concerns such as jowls or sagging without surgery, threads, or fillers.
For those who, like the patient, are trying a lifting laser for the first time and may feel nervous or worried, we posted the before-and-after photos after obtaining consent and completing the consent form.
Thank you.
