<p>As we enter the era of living to 100 and proactive approaches to aging become more mainstream, interest in anti-aging treatments such as Ulthera and Thermage — which are said to visibly restore skin elasticity and create a more youthful appearance across a wide range of age groups from those in their 20s to their 80s — is on the rise.</p>
<p>In particular, Ulthera Lifting, which delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to all layers of the skin, the subcutaneous fat layer, and even the deep fascial layer to produce a lifting effect, continues to enjoy steady popularity. Thermage, which uses radiofrequency energy to regenerate collagen that has diminished with aging and offers the benefit of skin tightening, is also highly favored. These procedures are attractive in that they involve no incisions or dissection, meaning there is virtually no post-procedure burden such as recovery time or scarring.</p>
<p>However, caution is required, as satisfaction levels may decrease if a fundamental understanding of these anti-aging procedures and appropriately customized treatments are not applied.</p>
<p>Identifying the various age-related changes that differ from person to person and addressing all concerns in a single session is a complex undertaking. For this reason, anti-aging procedures must above all be carried out with thorough and precise personalized planning. Ulthera Lifting also requires differentiation between areas where dramatic results can be achieved and areas that may need combination treatments, making accurate assessment and 1:1 customized treatment a priority.</p>
<p>First, for those concerned about deep cheek volume loss, a double chin, or under-eye fat, Ulthera Lifting — which is excellent at reducing volume and improving sagging — can be performed without issue. However, for those concerned about fine line improvement or aging prevention, Thermage is the more appropriate treatment.</p>
<p>For those who wish to uniformly improve areas with varying skin characteristics and volume differences, such as around the mouth or nasolabial folds, it is advisable to combine Ulthera Lifting with Sculptra, which can restore volume. This is because uniformly injecting PLLA into the subcutaneous tissue makes it possible to naturally restore volume to sunken cheeks and the temporal area as well.</p>"

Even if anti-aging procedures share the same goal of improving signs of aging, the application methods and effects differ by treatment area. Therefore, it is important to visit a clinic where a dermatologist with extensive clinical experience is on staff. It is also advisable to confirm whether genuine tips are being used, and in the case of Sculptra, whether area-specific customized cannulas are being used.<strong><Well Dermatology Clinic Apgujeong Main Branch Director></strong>
