Ulthera is the original ultrasonic lifting device approved by the U.S. FDA. It can be performed while directly viewing the skin layer through real-time ultrasound monitoring. Compared to Shurink, the effect and maintenance period are about twice that of Ulthera, and the pain is slightly stronger. Shurink is a domestically produced device that copies Ulthera. Compared to Ulthera, the effect and maintenance period are shorter and the pain is similar or slightly less. If you want a more powerful and long-lasting lifting effect with a single treatment, we recommend Ulthera lifting, and for cost-effectiveness, we recommend Shrink lifting.

Both procedures are non-surgical anti-aging procedures, but there are differences in the treatment target and operating principle. Ulthera is a treatment that mainly targets the fascial layer (SMAS) and can be expected to have a lifting effect through ultrasound. Thermage is a device that acts on the dermal layer and precisely radiates high frequency waves to the skin, so you can expect effects such as skin tightening and wrinkle improvement. The two procedures can be performed simultaneously, and excellent anti-aging effects can be expected when performed together.

Symptoms called welts may occur. After Ulthera treatment, it refers to the phenomenon of red swelling in the curved areas of the neck and jaw line. If the patient moves or is exposed to unbalanced pressure during the procedure, redness may appear on the surface. You do not need to worry because it usually disappears naturally within 1-2 days, or up to a week.

Although it may vary from person to person, the effect appears gradually after 3 to 4 weeks and the best effect is seen after 2 to 3 months. It also lasts for as long as a year. In addition, if the effect is judged to be insufficient after one treatment depending on the skin condition, it is recommended to repeat the treatment three or more times at 3-6 month intervals.
