Treatment Overview
The V-Line Ultherapy Contour uses micro-focused ultrasound energy (Ultherapy) to target the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System)—the same tissue layer tightened during surgical facelifts. By stimulating natural collagen and elastin renewal at this depth, it gradually slims and tightens the lower face, creating sharper definition along the jawline and chin.
Unlike fillers or fat-removal surgeries, this treatment enhances the natural bone structure and skin firmness, resulting in a subtle yet noticeable lift.
Purpose and Benefits
- V-Line Jawline Definition: Creates a slimmer, more contoured lower face.
- Skin Tightening: Lifts sagging skin in the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks.
- Collagen Regeneration: Stimulates deep renewal for lasting firmness.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines around the mouth and chin.
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Avoids risks and downtime of jawline surgery.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Helps younger patients maintain contour and firmness.
- Natural Results: Balanced refinement without overcorrection.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults in their 20s to 50s with square or heavy jawlines.
- Individuals with mild-to-moderate sagging in the lower face.
- Patients seeking a non-invasive V-line contour instead of surgery.
- Younger patients who want preventive tightening to preserve definition.
- Men and women who want a refined, lifted look with natural balance.
Possible Risks and Complications
- Mild redness, warmth, or tingling post-treatment (temporary).
- Slight tightness or tenderness for 1–3 days.
- Rare bruising or sensitivity if ultrasound energy is misapplied.
- Very safe overall when performed by Korean dermatology specialists.
