Patient cases this treatment is for. See if your concern fits.
When deep sagging and surface laxity coexist
Concerned about combined aging where a weakened SMAS layer lets the contour droop while surface elasticity also declines? Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting is designed to consider both deep and superficial layers, helping address sagging and surface laxity within a single program. Results and suitability are explained individually during consultation.
When you want a strong total lift at once
Prefer broad care in one session rather than splitting treatments across visits? Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting pairs ultrasound and radiofrequency in a single program that approaches deep-layer lifting and surface tightening together. Intensity and shot counts are adjusted to your skin and consultation, and results may vary by individual.
When sagging, fine lines, and pores all bother you
Seeing not just sagging but also fine lines and enlarged pores layered together? Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting is designed to consider SMAS-layer lifting and dermal-layer tightening together so multiple concerns can be addressed comprehensively. Suitability and realistic expectations are explained in detail during consultation.
When you want fewer sessions and efficient care
Hard to visit repeatedly due to a busy schedule and prefer efficient care in one go? Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting bundles ultrasound and radiofrequency into a single program designed to ease the burden of multiple visits. The optimal interval and number of sessions still vary by individual and are guided through consultation.
Why choose this?
Core effects of this treatment — what it solves and what to expect.
Synergy of ultrasound and radiofrequency Ultrasound (HIFU) mainly acts on the deep SMAS layer while radiofrequency (RF) works on the dermis. Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting pairs two energies of differing depths to broadly approach areas a single modality may struggle to reach. The degree of effect can vary between individuals.
Targeting deep layers and surface together The deep SMAS layer behind sagging and the surface layer where laxity and fine lines appear involve different kinds of concerns. Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting brings deep-layer lifting and surface tightening into one program so distinct layers are considered together. Expected effects and suitability are explained during consultation.
A combined design for total anti-aging Ul-Thermage Combination Lifting links lifting and tightening into one flow, structured to view multiple aging signs from sagging to surface elasticity in a comprehensive way. A collagen booster may be considered when needed, and the composition and intensity are adjusted to individual condition and consultation. Results can vary by individual.

FAQ
Common questions patients ask about this treatment.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound to target the deep SMAS layer, making it excellent for 'lifting' sagging skin. Thermage uses radiofrequency to regenerate collagen in the dermal layer, focusing on 'tightening' the skin and improving fine lines. We recommend the appropriate procedure or a combination therapy for synergistic effects based on your skin condition.
While some improvement can be felt immediately after the procedure, the most noticeable effects appear over 2-3 months as collagen regenerates. The duration varies depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle, but effects generally last for over a year. Consistent maintenance can help prolong the results.
It varies by individual, but you may feel a slight warming or aching sensation. For most people, applying a numbing cream is sufficient. Our medical staff carefully adjusts the intensity during the procedure to minimize discomfort. If you are sensitive to pain, please let us know in advance so we can help you feel more comfortable.
Most of our lifting/anti-aging procedures are non-surgical and do not require a separate recovery period. There might be slight redness or swelling immediately after, but it typically subsides within a few hours, and you can apply makeup or wash your face as usual. You can receive treatment without worry, even before an important event.
The skin around the eyes is much thinner and more sensitive than other parts of the face, requiring a delicate approach. Eye-area specific treatments like Eye Ultherapy and Eye Rejuran use specially designed tips or ingredients to safely deliver energy or nutrients. This effectively improves concerns like droopy eyelids, fine lines, and dark circles.
Everyone has different skin thickness, causes of sagging, and aging progression. At Yonsei Star Dermatology, our experienced dermatologists will precisely diagnose your skin condition and propose the most effective treatment plan.
