Reasons for regretting receiving Ulcer Therapy Prime, the difference between men and women

Why do men and women need different strategies?


Hello.

I am Director Kim Ha-won.

Ultherapy Prime is not just a treatment for

lifting.


Men and women have different treatment purposes,

so the approach strategy should also differ.


👨🏻 Men's ultherapy focuses on

maintaining sharp facial contours,

👩🏻 Women's ultherapy, on the other hand,

is more focused on improving the impression that makes people look older due to sagging.





Men's Ultherapy💫

: Maintaining sharp lines and angles is key


Recent trends show the directional preferences of men and women’s faces

differ relatively easily.


In character design or popular filters on social media,

faces are often expressed as round and soft to intentionally soften masculine angles.


These images give a friendly and youthful vibe, but

may be somewhat different from what actual men prefer in terms of appearance.



Conversely, looking at men who are evaluated as youthful,

they commonly share clear characteristics.


Their facial angles are alive, and the contours from the cheekbones to the jawline are distinct and firm.


In other words, the essence of a youthful-looking male face is

not just about making the volume larger, but about

👉 maintaining a solid contour without any disruption.


Many people feel that a face is 'handsome' when they see it,

often being attracted to the clear angles and sharp lines rather than mere softness.



So, for men, ultherapy should be

not a treatment that 'sculpts the lines of the face' but rather a treatment that protects the contours.

Men have a structural feature of having thick skin and thin fat layers,
​and treatments should be designed to enhance elasticity without breaking the angles.







Women's Ultherapy💫

: Maintaining soft lines + Improving sagging is key

Women tend to strongly wish to maintain their original soft lines.

Especially for angular facial features like the cheekbones and chin,

they often feel that they want to 'soften' them.

Additionally, women have relatively thinner skin layers and thicker subcutaneous fat layers,

leading to sagging appearing at an earlier age than men.

Thus, in ultherapy,

it’s necessary to create more TCP (coagulation points) inside the skin
and actively induce collagen regeneration.





The actual points of ultherapy treatment will change like this💡


🔷Men


🔹Design that maintains the flow of angles along the cheekbones, side cheeks, and jawline


🔹Maintaining clear lines is key rather than excessive volume


🔹Focus Ultherapy energy only on necessary areas for contour preservation

🔶Women

🔸Smooth out angular-looking areas


🔸Gently connect the borders between sunken and protruding areas


🔸Strengthen sagging lifting centered around the lower cheekbones, jawline, and in front of the ears


🔸Create more TCP to actively induce collagen regeneration







Commonly important factors📍

: Skin Quality management


Ultherapy not only lifts but also

regenerates collagen inside the skin,

✔️Consequently, one can expect improvements in elasticity, texture, and density.





Things to check before the treatment✅


❇️Individual differences may be more important than gender

The characteristics depending on gender are important,

but in practice, individual skin thickness, fat distribution, and aging may be more decisive.

Even with the same gender, completely different approaches are necessary depending on face shape, sagging areas, and skin condition.

Therefore, it’s essential to accurately understand your facial structure and condition,

and receive a custom design tailored to it.




❇️Check the experience and philosophy of the practitioner

Even if the same ultherapy machine is used,

the results can vary significantly depending on the practitioner’s skill and aesthetic sense.

During consultation, you must clearly convey the direction you desire.

Depending on whether you desire natural changes or definite effects,

the number of shots and energy levels need to be adjusted.




❇️Carefully evaluate the cost versus effects

Ultherapy is an expensive treatment.

The price varies significantly depending on the number of shots, treatment areas, and energy levels,

and sometimes excessive treatments may be suggested.

It’s wise to identify the areas you truly need and the appropriate number of shots,

​and to compare consultations from multiple clinics.




❇️Fully recognize the possibility of side effects

Temporary swelling and bruising are common side effects,

​but rarely, nerve damage or sinking effects due to excessive fat loss can occur.

Especially for those with less fat in the cheek area, excessive treatment may

​make them look older, so caution is needed.


❇️Plan for maintenance duration and aftercare


The effects of ultherapy manifest most strongly 3 to 6 months post-treatment,

generally lasting 1 to 2 years.

However, the duration of the effects can vary depending on how well you manage

​sun protection, sufficient hydration, and regular lifestyle habits.






A strategic approach tailored to me is key💥


Ultherapy should not be approached
the same way for men and women.

Men should focus on maintaining angles and sharp contours,

while women should aim to improve sagging while maintaining soft lines.

Practitioners should also apply different designs, shot numbers, and energy levels based on gender.

If you are considering ultherapy, obtain ample consultations from multiple clinics,

​and strategically approach based on your gender-specific characteristics, facial structure, and personal goals.

Rather than just being drawn to the word 'lifting,' accurately identify what you truly need and make a careful decision.

Thank you for reading.
