What Is Ulthera?

Ultrasound lifting that lifts sagging skin from beneath the surface

Ulthera is a lifting procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to directly stimulate the dermis and fascial layer (SMAS)
without damaging the skin surface.

Because the procedure is performed while viewing the structure beneath the skin on real-time ultrasound images, energy can be delivered precisely
to the depth where sagging begins, helping to improve facial contours, the jawline and loss of elasticity.
Over time, collagen regeneration is activated, and natural lifting and firmer skin can be expected.

The key to lifting is not the surface,
but strengthening the structure of the SMAS layer.

    Natural lifting without an incision

    The skin is lifted without an incision, minimizing tissue damage and the risk of side effects.

  3. 03

    Genuine certified devices

    Only genuine devices certified by the U.S. FDA and Korea's MFDS (KFDA) are used to ensure stability and effectiveness.

  4. 04

SH's Approach to Facial Structure

Leonardo da Vinci's
structural analysis
SH's Ulthera lifting

To draw a beautiful face, Leonardo da Vinci
did not simply trace its outline.
He divided the face by reference points and analyzed the role of each position.

Restoring elasticity from the deep layers of the skin
for a defined facial line.

Ulthera

Customized treatment with delicate dedicated tips for each skin depth and condition

With DeepSEE™ technology, the inside of the skin is viewed in real time without an incision,
and ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to each skin layer.

This stimulates collagen regeneration
and lifts loose tissue for firmer skin.

Tips and shot counts are set individually for skin thickness and area
to achieve the intended change more accurately.

Ulthera Procedure

  1. Step 01

    1. Precise diagnosis and customized design

    Real-time imaging confirms the structure beneath the skin and the depth where sagging began, and the treatment depth and energy are designed for the skin condition.

  2. Step 02

    2. Ultrasound delivery to target layers

    Ultrasound energy is concentrated on the dermis and fascial layer without skin damage, treating the necessary areas precisely.

  3. Step 03

    3. Collagen regeneration and lifting

    Collagen regeneration is stimulated to restore skin elasticity, and the lifting effect appears gradually over time.

Effects After Ulthera

  • Effect 01. Sagging cheeks and jawline lifted for a smooth line
  • Effect 02. Contour change that makes the whole face look more defined
  • Effect 03. Firmer elasticity, as if the skin has tightened
  • Effect 04. Improvement of a loose-looking double chin
  • Effect 05. A smooth, refined facial line
  • Effect 06. Skin that becomes firmer over time
Caution

Aftercare and Precautions

  • You can wash your face and wear light makeup on the day of the procedure
  • Getting plenty of rest for 1~2 days after the procedure helps relieve swelling and stiffness
  • Please avoid strong massage or rubbing to prevent irritating the treated area
  • To reduce heat exposure, it is best to avoid saunas, jjimjilbang and hot baths for 1 week
  • Alcohol and smoking can interfere with recovery, so it is best to limit them for about 1 week
  • Please moisturize well and use sun protection to support skin regeneration

SH Plastic Surgery's Surgical Principles

Plastic surgery is not simply a technique for changing appearance;
it is medicine that understands the structure and balance of the face.

For natural and stable results, SH Plastic Surgery performs surgery
based on the following principles.

1

We analyze structure first

The eyes, nose and face are not independent structures; they influence each other to form your impression.

SH Plastic Surgery does not look only at the shape of the eyes or nose; we analyze

  • Eyeball position
  • Brow bone structure
  • Facial skeleton
  • Tissue balance

to understand the facial structure first.

2

We value balance over excessive change

The goal of plastic surgery is not to change the face excessively
but to improve its overall balance.

SH Plastic Surgery considers facial proportions and harmony
to pursue natural and stable change.

3

Surgery begins with design

Good results are not suddenly created in the operating room.
We create a design suited to your facial structure through accurate analysis, and the surgery is performed based on that design.

SH Plastic Surgery performs design-based surgery grounded in structural analysis.

4

We consider long-term stability

Results should look natural not only right after surgery but also as time passes.

SH Plastic Surgery chooses the surgical method
with tissue stability and long-term change in mind.

5

Patient safety comes first

The most important thing in plastic surgery is patient safety.

  • A dedicated, accountable medical team
  • Surgeon name disclosure in the operating room
  • Systematic management of the surgical environment

These measures keep the surgical environment safe.
