Ulthera tightens and makes your face look younger as if time has stopped.
Ulthera (High Intensity Focus Ultrasound) or Ultherapy is a machine that was invented in 1994 by the world’s leading dermatologist, DR. Rox Anderson, who is the director of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Boston, MA, USA. He is a medical researcher and product developer. He has researched, developed and invented the world’s first skin tightening machine using ultrasound waves that can lift and tighten the skin. It is also considered the only machine that has received US FDA approval for lifting the eyebrows, face and neck.

Results depend on each individual’s skin condition.
The first Ulthera Focus Ultrasond machine used for skin tightening (Tissue lifting) was launched in the market in 2004. It is the original lifting technology that uses technology that uses ultrasound or specific high-frequency sound waves (Focused Ultrasound) or the same waves used in pregnancy tests to lift and tighten the skin, making it firmer and reducing wrinkles. The working principle of the Ulthera machine (Ulthera) or Ultherapy is to shoot sound waves with heat energy from the machine with high precision, sending them to the deep skin layer or the layer that stimulates tissue in the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which is a deep layer at the level of surgical facelift in surgeons to create heat of 60-70°C with a 1 mm energy point.
The energy will be in the form of small dots arranged in a straight line under the skin. The doctor can see the image of every layer of the patient’s skin through the screen of the machine, which makes it even more accurate. In addition, the treatment can be performed while adjusting the sound waves that are appropriate for the patient’s skin condition to suit the problem. The waves from the Ulthera machine will stimulate the fibroblast cells, causing the tissue to contract until it has a pattern similar to sewing the tissue to be tighter. Therefore, it stimulates the creation of new collagen and elastin. Therefore, it helps to fix sagging facial skin, wrinkles, adjust the skin to be lifted or tightened without surgery. It also does not affect the surrounding skin, does not sting, is not hot, does not burn, and is very safe.

Ulthera is very safe because it uses ultrasound technology that has been used in medical treatments for over 50 years and has been used by over 3,000 leading dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide. Studies have found that the ULTHERA program is very safe and is widely accepted for its effectiveness and treatment results.
In addition to being a highly accurate device with a display of skin layers, Ulthera can also adjust the head size to suit the problem.

Results depend on each individual’s skin condition.
The head size is divided into 3 sizes according to the depth of penetration into the skin layer to increase the efficiency of lifting and tightening in various areas as follows:
1. Ulthera head size 1.5 mm (orange) is suitable for wrinkles on the upper skin layer, the epidermis and the dermis.
– Ulthera head size 1.5 mm, suitable for pores, small wrinkles around the eyes.
2. Ulthera head size 3.0 mm (green) is suitable for tightening the fat layer (Subcutis), where the fat layer contains vertical collagen.
– The 3.0 mm Ulthera head is suitable for reducing sagging skin around the eyes and forehead. It can also shoot the SMAS layer in some areas of the face with thin skin layers.
3. Ulthera head size 4.5 mm (blue) for shooting the (SMAS) layer. This skin layer has horizontal collagen and is the same skin layer used in facelift surgery.
– This 4.5 inch Ulthera head is suitable for lifting cheeks, double chin and neck.

What are the effects of Ulthera at what age?
• Age 25-30 years is the age when Ulthera will stimulate collagen production. Even if the skin does not have many problems or is not sagging, it can be done to stimulate the skin to produce collagen. The number and amount of shots used should not be excessive, as it only wants to stimulate collagen production.
• Age 35-45 years, the age when the face starts to sag. Problems will start to occur around the cheeks, the face frame will not be clear, the corners of the mouth will start to have grooves, drooping eyes, bags under the eyes. Ulthera will treat and tighten the skin to stimulate the deteriorating skin to work more efficiently.
• Age 45-50 years is the age when problems start to appear in areas other than the face, such as under the chin, neck, and the eyelids also start to droop. The severity will increase with age, requiring more care and treatment to reduce sagging and stimulate collagen in the skin layer that starts to decrease with age. In addition, in people of this age, doctors must use the Ulthera machine in conjunction with analyzing and designing the face shape in order for the treatment to give the best results and be most satisfactory to the patient.
• Age 60 and above : Due to age, there are other problems. Therefore, Ulthera must be done in conjunction with other programs to reduce the occurrence of the original problem and to prevent other skin areas that may cause future problems from having problems.

Is Ulthera dangerous? Are there any side effects?
The Ulthera machine is an ultrasound energy production machine that meets international standards from both the United States or US FDA as well as the Food and Drug Administration of Thailand. Therefore, it is considered a beauty enhancement machine that is extremely safe, without side effects, and has been accepted by many countries around the world. It is also a patented machine that was invented to assess the energy level to be appropriate for skin problems by reducing the accumulation of excessive energy, so there are no side effects.
How many lines or shots are needed per person?
The number of lines or shots used depends on each person’s skin problems and conditions. However, excessive Ulthera shots can cause skin burns. Therefore, Ulthera shots must be used appropriately to prevent skin burns.
Since each person has different skin conditions, thickness and thickness, the skin sensitivity may vary or may not be the same as the doctor’s assessment. However, good results or clear results will be seen when doing 300 lines or more shots.
For sensitive or delicate skin that cannot tolerate heat, the number of shots can be divided to be used in the next round, as the doctor sees fit.
Can men do Ulthera?
Ulthera is a machine that is very suitable for men because it does not require frequent treatment and the results last up to 1 year. It solves problems and completely answers the skin care needs of men. It helps reduce wrinkles on the face naturally without making the face stiff and allowing the face to express emotions normally, repairs and restores damaged skin to return to its original youthfulness, stimulates collagen in the skin layer to make the skin look younger, and tightens pores to make the skin smooth without having to go back to take care of it again. Therefore, it is a program that is not only suitable for men, but also for those who live a rough life or are into action. Currently, the trend of doing Ulthera for men is so popular that it is called Ulthera For Men.
Can Ulthera be performed in conjunction with other procedures?
Ulthera can be used in conjunction with other procedures such as filler injections, Toxin, Mesofat or thread lifts or other devices to achieve clearer results. Since every problem on the face has a different solution, each program works on a different layer of skin, so it can work together with other programs. If you have any concerns, you can consult the treating doctor.
The difference between Ulthera and Thermage
• Ulthera uses a specific high-frequency ULTRASOUND Focus wave that is sent directly to the SMAS layer, emphasizing skin tightening, adjusting the facial frame to be clearer, and helping to solve sagging problems. Ulthera is therefore a machine that is suitable for those with a small fat layer. The results last for about 1 year.
• Thermage is a MONOPOLAR RF radio wave heat device. The waves are sent to 3 layers of skin: Epidermis, HypoDermis, and Subcutaneous Fat. This causes collagen and elastin to be created, along with strengthening the collagen fibers, resulting in firmer facial skin. This helps reduce wrinkles, smoothes the skin, and helps break down excess fat that accumulates under the skin. It emphasizes stimulating collagen under the skin to make the facial skin firmer. It is suitable for people with thick, loose fat, sagging cheeks, or fat in the chin area, which is called a double chin. Thermage results last for about 1-2 years.
Can Ulthera and Thermage be used together?
They can be used together because both Ulthera and Thermage send waves to different layers of skin. Ulthera sends Focus ULTRASOUND waves to the SMAS layer, but Thermage sends heat from MONOPOLAR RF radio waves to the epidermis, hypodermis, and subcutaneous fat. When both machines are used together, it lifts and tightens the skin layers more completely. If there are problems with both the skin and fat layers at the same time, it will result in better results and better skin condition.
How is Ulthera different from Hifu?
• Ulthera uses specific high-frequency Focus ULTRASOUND waves sent directly to the SMAS layer, which is the deep skin layer, causing contraction, emphasizing lifting and tightening the deep skin layer, adjusting the facial frame to be clearer and sharper, as well as helping to solve the problem of sagging. Ulthera is therefore a machine that is suitable for people with a small fat layer, with results lasting for about 1 year.
• Hifu can stimulate collagen production and adjust the face shape, but the intensity of wave transmission is lower than Ulthera, so the results last less than 3-6 months.
The Ulthera machine has much higher energy than HIFU. It has an accuracy display. It can be compared that 1 Ulthera session is equivalent to 2-3 HIFU sessions.
You can do Ulthera and leave a gap of 1 month and maintain with Hifu to nourish and tighten the skin more without damaging the skin too much because the waves from the Hifu machine are not very powerful.
