Why do men and women need different strategies?
Hello.
This is Kim Ha-won from Beauty Doctors.
Ultherapy Prime is not merely a procedure for lifting.
The purposes of treatments differ between men and women,
so the approach strategies must also change.
For men, ultherapy focuses on
maintaining clear facial contours,
whereas
women focus more on improving the impression of aging caused by sagging.
Men's Ultherapy
: The key is to maintain contours and angles
Looking at the trending Young Forty meme,
one can easily understand the differences in facial preferences between genders.
The Young Forty character represents the face
with exaggerated roundness and largeness,
intentionally diluting the masculine feel,
which feels somewhat different from the images that actual men prefer.
In contrast, when looking at actual youthful male celebrities,
their features are more pronounced.
Angles are alive on their faces,
and the contours that lead from the cheekbones to the jawline
are clear and firm.
In other words, the key to a youthful-looking male face is not
to create a larger volume, but
to have a robust contour that preserves angles.
Many people express 'handsome' when seeing a face,
but often they find attractions more in sharp angles and
distinct lines than in softness.
Thus, for men, ultherapy should be
not a 'procedure that chisels away facial lines,'
but a procedure that preserves contours.
Men have thicker skin layers
and thinner fat layers,
so the treatment should be designed to enhance elasticity
without breaking down angles.
Women: Maintaining soft lines + improving sagging is key
Women tend to have a strong desire to
maintain their original soft lines.
In particular, they often feel the need to
'soften' angular features such as jawlines and cheekbones.
Additionally, women typically have thinner skin layers
and thicker subcutaneous fat layers,
leading to sagging appearing at an earlier age compared to men.
Therefore, in ultherapy procedures,
it is necessary to form more TCP (coagulation points) inside the skin
to actively induce collagen regeneration.
The actual points of ultherapy procedures
will change like this
Men
🔹 Along the cheekbone–side cheekbone–jawline
Maintain the flow of angles in the design
🔹 Rather than excessive volume,
maintaining clear lines is key
🔹 Concentrate ultherapy energy only on the needed areas to preserve contours
Women
🔹 Gradually alleviate the areas that appear angular
🔹 Smoothly connect the borders of depressions and protrusions
🔹 Strengthen sagging lifting focusing around the cheekbones, jawline, and in front of the ears
🔹 Generate more TCP to
actively induce collagen regeneration
Commonly important things
: Skin Quality management
Ultherapy not only provides lifting, but also
regenerates collagen within the skin,
resulting in improvements in elasticity, texture, and density as well.
Things to check before the procedure
Individual differences may be
more important than gender
While characteristics based on gender are important,
in reality, the thickness of individual skin, fat distribution, and aging degree may be
more decisive factors.
Even within the same gender, factors like face shape, sagging areas,
and skin conditions necessitate
completely different approaches.
Therefore, it is essential to accurately assess one's facial structure and
conditions, and receive a customized design tailored to them.
Check the experiencer's experience and philosophy
Even if the same ultherapy machine is used,
results can vary greatly depending on the operator's skill and aesthetic sense.
During the consultation, you need to clearly convey your desired direction.
Whether you desire a natural change or
want a definite effect,
the number of shots and energy levels need to
be adjusted accordingly.
Carefully evaluate cost-effectiveness
Ultherapy is a costly treatment.
The price varies significantly depending on the number of shots, treatment areas, and energy levels,
and sometimes excessive treatments may be recommended.
It is wise to ascertain the areas you truly need
and the appropriate number of shots,
and to compare consultations at multiple hospitals.
Fully recognize the possibility of side effects
Temporary swelling and bruising are common side effects,
but rare cases of nerve damage or
depression due to excessive fat loss can occur.
Especially those with less fat in the cheek area
should be cautious as excessive treatment can
make them appear older.

Establish a maintenance period and post-treatment care plan
The effects of ultherapy manifest most significantly after
3 to 6 months, and generally last about 1 to 2 years.
However, how well you manage
sunblock, adequate hydration,
and regular lifestyle habits
can change the duration of the effects.
The strategic approach that suits me is key
Ultherapy should not be approached
the same way for men and women.
For men, the direction is to maintain angles and make contours
clear,
while for women, the focus is on improving sagging and
maintaining soft lines.
Operators should also apply
different designs, shot counts, and energy levels
according to gender.
If you are considering ultherapy,
it is most important to have ample consultations at multiple hospitals
and strategically approach based on your gender-specific traits, facial structure,
and personal goals.
Instead of being lured by the simple term 'lifting',
it is essential to clearly identify what you truly need
and decide carefully.
