Treatment Overview
The Contour K-Ultralift is a non-invasive lifting therapy that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to deliver heat precisely into the deeper layers of the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen and elastin production.
It is especially effective for improving jawline definition, cheek lifting, neck tightening, and overall facial contour, making it ideal for patients who want a sculpted, youthful appearance without surgery.
Purpose and Benefits
- Facial Contouring: Defines jawline, lifts cheeks, and enhances the V-line.
- Skin Tightening: Improves sagging around the face and neck.
- Collagen Regeneration: Stimulates natural repair for long-term anti-aging benefits.
- Non-Surgical Lift: Targets the SMAS layer without incisions or downtime.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and early wrinkles.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Helps younger patients maintain firmness before sagging worsens.
- Natural Look: Restores youth without overcorrection or artificial stiffness.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults in their 30s to 60s with mild-to-moderate sagging.
- Patients experiencing jawline heaviness, drooping cheeks, or neck laxity.
- Individuals seeking non-surgical contouring.
- Men and women who want natural results without downtime.
- Those interested in preventive lifting therapy in their late 20s or early 30s.
Possible Risks and Complications
- Mild redness, swelling, or tingling sensations (temporary).
- Slight tenderness along treated areas for a few days.
- Rare bruising or numbness if improperly applied (very rare in Korean clinics).
- Overall, extremely safe when performed by licensed dermatologists.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Ultherapy Ultrasound Energy: Delivers focused heat 3.0–4.5mm into the skin.
