How painful is the treatment?

You may feel a dull ache or a sharp tingle at the moment the ultrasound reaches the deep layer. We apply numbing cream generously beforehand, use painkillers if needed, and adjust the output by area to reduce the burden of pain.

Is there any downtime?

There is no incision, so you can wash your face and wear makeup right after and return to daily life immediately. Temporary redness, swelling, and a pressed feeling usually settle within a few days.

When do the results start to show?

There is a tightening sensation right after the treatment, but the effect is most visible around 2–3 months as collagen regenerates.

How long do the results last?

Results generally last 10–12 months, with individual differences depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Treating once a year helps maintain the result for longer.

Won't my cheeks look hollow?

Excessive energy delivered to areas with a thin fat layer or insufficient volume can make them look hollow. id checks the layers with DeepSEE and designs tip depth and shot count by area, so we lift without volume loss.

How is it different from Shurink?

Ulthera checks the layers with real-time ultrasound imaging and treats the SMAS layer precisely, so its lifting power is strong and lasts longer. Shurink has less burden in pain and cost, making it suitable for those who want lighter care.

Can I have it together with Thermage?

Yes. Ulthera excels at lifting the deep fascial layer and Thermage at dermal firmness and tightening, so combining them creates synergy. Whether to do them on the same day or with an interval is decided after a consultation based on your skin condition.

Ulthera

Asia's No.1 expertise and data from studying nothing but the face — proven by results.

The device may be the same, but the result is not. Even with the same device and the same number of shots, a layer-by-layer 1:1 custom design that analyzes bone structure, skin, and muscle movement is what makes the difference.
