Ultherapy: How Long Does It Last, and What's the Difference from Thermage – The Treatment K-Celebs Like Lee Youngji and Son Yeonjae Are Getting?
From comedian Kim Sook (김숙) to singer Lee Youngji (이영지) and former national rhythmic gymnast Son Yeonjae (손연재), the skin lifting procedure Ultherapy has been a hot topic on many celebrities' beauty treatment lists, drawing significant public attention recently.
As we transition from summer to autumn, many people are experiencing decreased skin elasticity due to significant daily temperature fluctuations. This has led to a growing interest in non-surgical lifting procedures like Ultherapy. Skin aging is a natural process that begins in your 20s, primarily caused by the reduction of collagen, which supports the skin's structure.
How Long Does Ultherapy Last?
Ultherapy uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy to create thermal coagulation points at specific depths within the skin, stimulating collagen regeneration and improving skin elasticity. According to a column by Director Kim Minju (김민주), the effects of Ultherapy typically last between 6 months to 1 year. However, this can vary depending on an individual's skin condition, lifestyle, and the treated area and intensity.
Ultherapy vs. Thermage: What's the Difference?
| Category | Ultherapy | Thermage |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Source | High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) | Radiofrequency (RF) |
| Main Target Layer | SMAS Layer (Musculoaponeurotic system) | Dermis |
| Key Effects | Lifting, saggy skin improvement | Tightening, skin texture improvement |
| Treatment Characteristics | Targets deep layers, powerful lifting | Applies to wider areas, fine wrinkle improvement |
Essential Checks for a Safe Procedure
To ensure both the effectiveness and safety of Ultherapy, verifying the use of genuine equipment is crucial. According to a report from Health Chosun, it's important to personally confirm the authenticity of the device through a genuine product certification program before and after the procedure. Furthermore, side effects such as volume loss in the cheeks (볼꺼짐, also known as '볼패임' or sunken cheeks) can occur due to excessive fat reduction. Therefore, it's essential to have a thorough consultation with medical staff before treatment to create a plan suitable for your individual skin condition and face shape. A blog post also mentions that volume loss in the cheeks can occur after lifting procedures like Ultherapy due to excessive fat reduction.
Beyond simply following celebrity trends, it's vital to seek accurate information through in-depth consultations with experts to find the optimal skin care solution that's right for you.
