Are you measuring skin thickness with ultrasound?

The thickness of the skin varies in different areas, even on the same face.

Even for the same area, the thickness varies from person to person.

You need to know the thickness of the subcutaneous fat and the base


for accurate lifting with Ultherapy.

The part pointed to by the arrow represents 0.5cm > 5mm.


Looking at the tip of Ultherapy above, you can see it says 4.5

This represents 4.5mm


which corresponds closely to the 5mm seen in ultrasound.



The reason for looking at ultrasound is simple.


Even on the same person


you can see that the fat has become thicker now.



Ultherapy is not inexpensive.

It costs over 1 million won for 300 shots.


If it's a cheap place, they might not even spend time looking at the ultrasound

or making the effort to change tips depending on the area.
