The reason for purchasing an expensive ultrasound separately to examine the skin is for more accurate results.


Are you measuring the thickness of the skin with ultrasound?

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

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

You must know the thickness of subcutaneous fat and the bottom


to enable accurate lifting with Ulthera.

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


If you look at the tip of Ulthera above, you can see it says 4.5

which represents 4.5mm


and represents a position almost identical to the 5mm seen on ultrasound.



The reason for looking at ultrasound is simple.


Even in the same person,


thicker fat appears as seen now.



Ulthera's cost is not cheap.

It exceeds 1 million won for 300 shots.


If it’s a less expensive place, they might not take the time to look at the ultrasound

or make the effort to change tips for different locations.
