Ulthera Tips to Maximize Lifting Results, Straight From a Dermatologist

As we age, skin concerns like sagging and wrinkles often increase. Especially during the year-end and New Year holidays, many people seek lifting procedures. Today, we will delve into the essential conditions for maximizing the effects of Ulthera Prime, often referred to as a premium lifting treatment. If you have not achieved satisfactory results after an Ulthera Prime treatment, or if you are considering the procedure, please pay attention.

Ulthera Prime is a non-invasive procedure that uses micro-ultrasound for lifting without any incisions. It works by delivering high-intensity ultrasound energy deep into the skin, specifically to the SMAS fascial layer, heating and contracting it to lift and tighten the skin from within. It can be expected to be effective across the entire face, including wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, and jawline. It is particularly known for its excellent effects in improving a compromised jawline, such as the deep jowls (often called "bulldog jowls") and double chin.

One of the reasons Ulthera Prime is called a premium lifting treatment is its unique imaging technology, DeepSee™. DeepSee™ allows real-time visualization of skin depth during the procedure, enabling precise ultrasound delivery. This makes it generally regarded as a safe procedure with a low likelihood of side effects.

Occasionally, one might hear about hollow cheeks after Ulthera Prime treatment or burns during the procedure. These issues can mostly occur in the following situations:

Causes of Hollow Cheeks

This can happen if the procedure was performed excessively on areas with less facial fat, or if the practitioner did not properly monitor with DeepSee™, causing the ultrasound heat to continuously target only the fat layer above the fascial layer instead of reaching it.

Factors Increasing Burn Risk

If a burn occurred during the procedure, it is necessary to suspect the use of fake tips. The genuine tips used for Ulthera Prime treatment are consumables and are very expensive, leading to ongoing controversies about refurbished or fake tips. Using refurbished or fake tips can not only significantly reduce the treatment effect but also greatly increase the risk of burns.

• Check for a genuine certificate: When choosing a clinic for treatment, always confirm if they can provide a genuine certificate.
• Verify authenticity: After the procedure, confidently request a genuine certificate and verify its authenticity using the certification number on the app. You can also receive various event benefits.

Ulthera Prime is well-regarded for its effectiveness and safety among non-invasive lifting procedures, but there are indeed facial types for which the effects are more pronounced. Since Ulthera Prime can reduce unnecessary fat while also providing a lifting effect, it may offer more satisfying results for individuals concerned about a jawline obscured by fat, such as a double chin or deep jowls.

Conversely, for individuals with less facial fat, performing the procedure excessively across the entire face might make them appear even thinner. Therefore, it is crucial to have thorough consultation before the procedure to establish a treatment plan tailored to your facial condition.

If you have decided on Ulthera Prime treatment, you must remember a few essential conditions to achieve maximum effect. As a dermatology specialist, I will share my know-how to enhance Ulthera Prime's effects.

1. Personalized Design and Thorough Consultation

For anti-aging treatments like Ulthera Prime, accurately understanding the patient's concerns and needs and creating a customized design is paramount. Through thorough consultation before the procedure, it is important to carefully check whether more shots should be allocated to the most concerning areas, or if there are any potential side effects in other areas when treating the desired area.

2. Precise Procedure Execution

After the design process based on the consultation, it is crucial to perform the procedure precisely with appropriate intensity while monitoring the skin condition in real-time with DeepSee™. This is a key factor for safe and effective results.

3. Synergistic Effects Through Periodic Treatments

Ulthera Prime typically shows continuous effects for one month to one year after the procedure, and its duration is longer compared to other non-invasive lifting treatments. For even better results, it is recommended to receive the treatment repeatedly on an annual cycle. For example, if you initially received 540 shots, you might expect even better results with only 400 shots the next time.
