Ulthera®

Ulthera® (also known as Ultherapy) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin lifting and tightening procedure, highly favored for its safety, precision, and visible anti-aging effects. At Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery, Ulthera® is offered with FDA-cleared, certified Merz equipment and advanced DeepSEE™ ultrasound imaging, making the treatment both effective and tailored to each patient's facial anatomy.

What Is Ulthera®?

Ulthera® is a non-surgical lifting technology that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver heat deep into the skin layers. It stimulates collagen production and tightens the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which is crucial for achieving a natural lifting effect. Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery uses MERZ-certified Ulthera® systems, ensuring patients receive genuine treatment with verified safety and efficacy.

Key Features of Ulthera® at Gangnamseoyon:

• Certified MERZ Authentic Device with Amplify II Software

• DeepSEE™ Real-Time Imaging Technology for accurate targeting

• Non-invasive procedure—no scalpels, no stitches

• Personalized treatment plans using various depth tips (1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm)

• Minimal downtime with return to daily activities immediately after

How Does Ulthera® Work?

Ulthera® delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin, heating tissues to approximately 60–70°C, which triggers natural collagen regeneration. Thanks to DeepSEE™ imaging, doctors can see exactly where to deliver energy—ensuring maximum precision and safety without damaging the skin surface.

Procedure Steps:

1. Assessment: Real-time imaging reveals the exact skin structure and depth.

2. Planning: Customized approach based on the patient’s skin laxity and facial structure.

3. Treatment: Heat is applied at targeted depths, tightening the SMAS layer.

Customizable Depths for Effective Lifting

Gangnamseoyon uses three specialized Ulthera® tips, allowing practitioners to target different tissue layers:

This multi-depth strategy enhances lifting by targeting each skin layer appropriately, ensuring natural-looking firmness and long-lasting results.

Proven Technology and Safety

Ulthera® is FDA-approved and globally trusted, but results vary depending on operator skill. At Gangnamseoyon, licensed doctors personally administer every procedure. Their deep clinical experience ensures the optimal direction, depth, and intensity of each Ulthera® shot, maximizing results while safeguarding comfort.

Why Ulthera® Results Differ:

Even when using the same device, outcomes vary by practitioner. Precision in direction, shot count, and anatomical knowledge significantly impact the result. Gangnamseoyon excels in delivering natural yet dramatic improvements without over-treatment or side effects.

Ulthera® Mechanism: Collagen Regeneration

The core of Ulthera®'s effectiveness lies in its ability to regenerate collagen. As skin ages, collagen fibers weaken and skin sags. Ulthera® stimulates these deep layers, particularly the SMAS, to rebuild a stronger collagen matrix.

Stages of Skin Improvement:

1. Before: Skin shows aging signs due to collagen breakdown.

2. During: Ulthera® transmits focused ultrasound energy to boost collagen production.

3. After: Firmness and elasticity are restored from within, visibly tightening the skin.

This gradual, natural regeneration process sustains lifting results over months with a single treatment.
