Treatment Overview
Ultherapy is a premium non-invasive treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy deep into the dermis and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer—the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts. This triggers collagen and elastin regeneration, leading to tighter, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
For loose neck skin, Ultherapy effectively lifts sagging tissues, improves elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and restores structure without surgery. It is widely regarded in Korea as the gold standard for non-surgical lifting and neck rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Neck Lifting: Provides visible tightening for sagging skin.
- Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: Strengthens dermal tissue and prevents further laxity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths horizontal neck lines and fine creases.
- Structural Support: Targets deep SMAS layers for long-term firming.
- Non-Invasive: No downtime, no incisions, natural results.
- Long-Lasting: Results last up to 12–18 months with one session.
- Synergy: Often combined with Rejuran, Exosomes, or Thermage for comprehensive results.
Ideal Candidates
Ultherapy in Korea for loose neck skin is recommended for:
- Adults with neck laxity, sagging, or early jowling.
- Patients with horizontal wrinkles and thinning skin on the neck.
- Those seeking a non-surgical alternative to neck lift surgery.
Comparison with other treatments:
- Ultherapy (HIFU): Best for deep lifting and collagen stimulation.
- Thermage FLX (RF): Best for heat-based tightening and elasticity.
- Shurink Universe (HIFU): More affordable Korean version of Ultherapy.
- Rejuran Healer: Best for skin repair and long-term elasticity.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular repair and regeneration.
Possible Risks & Complications
Ultherapy is very safe, but mild side effects may include:
- Redness or Warmth: Temporary, fades within hours.
- Tenderness or Tingling: May last a few days to weeks as collagen remodels.
- Swelling or Bruising: Mild and rare, depending on sensitivity.
- Rare Risks: Minor nerve irritation (very rare with expert treatment).
Surgical Techniques Used
- Focused Ultrasound: Targets dermis and SMAS layers without damaging skin surface.
- Real-Time Imaging: Ensures precision and safety during treatment.
- Treatment Areas: Neck, jawline, and chin for lifting and firming.
- Protocol: Typically a single session; results improve over 2–3 months and last 12–18 months.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild redness, swelling, or warmth may occur.
- 1–3 Days: Neck feels firmer, with mild tenderness.
- 2–3 Months: Progressive lifting and tightening as collagen regenerates.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, or intense workouts for 1–2 days.
