Hello.
This is Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
“I haven't gained weight, but my jawline looks less defined than before.
My cheeks also seem to have sagged a bit; what kind of lifting should I get?”
When you notice these changes while looking in the mirror,
it is easy to think that you simply need to pull your skin up tightly.
However, there is not just one reason why a face looks saggy.
Skin elasticity may have decreased,
or the fat in the cheeks or the supporting tissues of the face may have changed.
The care required for sagging caused by a lack of volume
is different from the care required for sagging caused by loose skin.
That is why, before choosing a device,
it is important to examine what change is the most significant for you right now.
Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting is an ultrasound treatment
that can be chosen when considering the loss of elasticity in the skin and the supporting tissues beneath it.
Today, we will explain in simple terms the questions our clients frequently ask,
such as how Ultherapy works within the skin,
who it is suitable for, and how to think about the number of shots and the duration of results.
What is Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting?
👉 Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses focused ultrasound to deliver thermal energy to specific depths within the skin,
inducing tissue contraction and collagen remodeling.
To put it simply, it is a method of focusing ultrasound energy onto a target point inside the skin,
much like using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on a single spot.
Small thermal coagulation points are created where the energy is concentrated,
and in the process of recovering those areas, our body
can trigger a reaction that creates and rearranges collagen.
A key feature of Ultherapy is that it uses an ultrasound imaging function
to visualize the inside of the skin along with the therapeutic ultrasound.
Instead of proceeding by only looking at the face from the outside,
we can select the appropriate depth while checking the tissues under the skin.
Technical features of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting
👉 The technical features of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting include an ultrasound screen that shows the inside of the skin
and dedicated tips that deliver energy to different depths.
1. DeepSEE technology to check inside the skin
Ultherapy allows you to see the skin and the tissues beneath it on a screen.
Using this function, we can examine skin thickness and target areas,
and also verify that the tip is in proper contact with the skin.
Because the amount of facial fat and skin thickness vary from person to person,
the depth to which energy is delivered can differ even for the same area.
For a safe procedure, both anatomical structure and skin condition must be considered.
2. 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm depth tips
Ultherapy typically uses tips of three different depths.
The numbers refer to the depth at which the energy is designed to be focused from the skin surface.
1.5mm: A tip that accesses the relatively shallow dermis (the upper part of the skin).
3.0mm: A tip that accesses the deep dermis (the elastic tissue inside the skin).
4.5mm: A tip that accesses the deep supporting tissues, including the SMAS layer (the supporting tissue under the skin).
SMAS refers to the thin, fibromuscular supporting tissue located under the skin.
The 'fascia layer' often mentioned in lifting explanations refers to this.
However, not everyone's SMAS is located exactly at 4.5mm.
It is important to decide which tip to use after checking the actual depth and surrounding structures.
Also, Ultherapy works differently from EMS devices that force muscles to exercise or increase muscle mass.
The core of the treatment is delivering heat to the target tissue using ultrasound.
3. A method that does not involve incisions on the skin surface
Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy into the skin
without making incisions or inserting threads.
Therefore, while the recovery process is different from surgical incisions,
this does not mean there is no pain or swelling at all.
You may feel a dull ache and a momentary sensation of heat during the procedure.
Effects and advantages of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting
👉 The advantages of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting include non-invasive elasticity management, the ability to visualize the inside of the skin,
and the ability to observe changes over several months.
1. Mild sagging around the jawline and cheeks
If your jawline looks less defined than before or the skin below your cheeks has become a bit loose,
you may consider elasticity management using Ultherapy.
It is a method that helps the skin look firmer
by inducing tissue contraction and remodeling reactions with ultrasound energy.
However, depending on whether the cause of a dull jawline is the amount of fat,
skin sagging, or changes in jaw bone structure or volume,
the necessary care may vary.
It cannot fill in volume that is lacking through skin-tightening care alone,
nor can it remove significantly sagging skin like surgery.
2. Elasticity concerns around the eyebrows and neck
The Ultherapy system is FDA-cleared for lifting sagging tissue in the eyebrows, under the chin, and on the neck.
If the area around your eyebrows looks heavy or the skin on your neck and under your chin has become loose,
you can receive care considering the condition of those areas and the cleared usage range.
However, since the eyelids and the inner eye area must be avoided,
we do not apply ultrasound everywhere around the eyes just because you are concerned about fine lines.
3. Changes observed over time
Ultherapy is a treatment where it is difficult to judge the final results based solely on the tightening felt immediately after the procedure.
A study published in 2010 evaluated 35 people and observed eyebrow lifting improvement 90 days after the procedure.
A systematic literature review published in a 2025 academic journal
also analyzed 42 studies and reported the possibility of improvements in skin elasticity and lifting.
However, because the subjects and evaluation methods differ for each study,
and the observation period for many studies was within 6 months,
we cannot guarantee the same degree of change or duration for everyone.
Who is Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting suitable for?
Those who want to improve jawline and cheek sagging
Those who want to increase skin elasticity
Those who want to receive a lifting procedure without incisions
Those who want to manage elasticity in the eyebrows, under the chin, and neck
Those who want a customized lifting procedure that considers facial fat
Side effects and points to note for Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting
👉 Side effects of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting range from temporary redness, swelling, and pain to rare cases of burns, fat atrophy,
and nerve-related abnormalities, so prior verification and appropriate energy settings are important.
During the procedure, you may feel a dull or tingling sensation inside the skin,
and after the procedure, redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur.
Most of these subside over time, but there are individual differences in recovery speed.
For those with little facial fat or thin skin,
the area and energy settings must be carefully considered to avoid unnecessary fat atrophy.
If you have a pacemaker, metallic implants, are pregnant or breastfeeding,
or have infections or wounds in the treatment area, prior verification is required.
Please let us know if you have a history of fillers, thread lifting, or related medical conditions.
If you experience severe pain, blisters, persistent sensory abnormalities,
or abnormalities in facial movement after the procedure, you should contact the clinic immediately.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When do the effects of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting appear?
Since Ultherapy requires time for tissue recovery and collagen remodeling,
it is appropriate to observe changes over several weeks to several months.
Studies have evaluated results at 90 and 180 days, among others,
and there are individual differences in the timing and degree of actual changes.
Q. How many shots of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting should I get?
The number of shots depends on the size of the face, the treatment area, skin thickness,
the degree of sagging, and energy settings.
Even with the same number of shots, the treatment plan can vary
depending on which areas they are distributed to.
It is better to decide on the necessary areas first rather than choosing based on numbers alone.
Q. How much does Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting hurt?
When ultrasound energy is delivered,
you may feel a dull or tingling sensation inside the skin.
Pain levels vary by individual,
and while anesthesia or pain management methods can be used,
if you feel significant discomfort, please let us know immediately instead of enduring it.
Q. How is Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting different from Thermage or Oligio?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to deliver thermal energy
to specific depths within the skin.
Thermage and Oligio are devices that use monopolar radiofrequency,
and the way energy is delivered to the tissue is different.
However, it cannot be concluded that ultrasound is always deeper,
or that radiofrequency is more suitable for all skin elasticity concerns.
The choice depends on skin thickness, the cause of sagging, and the purpose of the treatment.
Q. How many sessions and at what intervals should I receive Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting?
A method of evaluating changes over several months after a single session is used.
Whether additional sessions are needed depends on your skin condition and previous response.
Rather than recommending the same number of sessions or intervals to everyone,
it is appropriate to set the next plan after checking initial changes and recovery status.
Q. How long does the effect of Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting last?
The duration of results can vary depending on age, skin condition, lifestyle habits,
the degree of sagging, and energy settings.
Some studies have observed changes for over 6 months, but
this cannot be guaranteed as the duration for everyone.
We determine whether additional care is needed based on your current status and desired goals.
Q. Can I lose facial fat after Uijeongbu Ultherapy lifting?
Fat atrophy has been reported in rare cases,
so those with little facial fat need to be approached with particular caution.
However, not everyone loses facial fat after receiving Ultherapy.
It is important to plan the area, depth, and energy distribution
by considering the thickness of the skin and fat.
When considering a lifting procedure, it is more important to first examine
what changes in your current face bother you the most.
This is because the necessary direction of care can change depending on whether the reason
your jawline looks dull is skin sagging, volume loss, or changes in the amount or position of fat.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive option that helps improve the elasticity of the skin and the supporting tissues beneath it
by delivering focused ultrasound energy while checking the inside of the skin.
However, it is not a method that removes significantly sagging skin like surgery
or directly fills in lacking volume.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch, we examine skin thickness, the degree of sagging,
the amount of facial fat, and previous procedure history
to review the necessary areas and the direction of care together.
You do not need to decide which device to receive before you come in.
We will personally verify the options suitable for you and the programs currently in operation
during your consultation.
If you have started to become concerned about your jawline or skin elasticity,
please visit Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch to examine your current status
and calmly explore the necessary care.
