Sio Clinic Ultherapy Lifting

​

Hello, this is Sio Clinic, where the director provides direct consultations.

​

As the plump cheeks of your 20s begin to fade over time, the 'lack of volume' becomes a defining factor in your appearance after your 30s.

​

In particular, the so-called 'peanut-shaped face,' where the temples and side cheeks become hollow and the cheekbone line stands out, is a decisive moment for many to consider a lifting procedure.

​

​

Today, at Sio Clinic in Seongsu-dong, where the director provides direct consultations, we would like to explain in detail the principles of Ultherapy, suitable cases, and types that require caution.

Types where Ultherapy lifting works precisely

​

Ultherapy is a very powerful procedure when accompanied by structural sagging where mid-face volume decreases and the lower jawline becomes blurred.

​

Suitability: It accurately delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, the root cause of aging. By condensing the 4.5mm deep fascial layer and tightening the loosened supporting ligaments, it realigns the overall facial contour.

​

Appropriate skin thickness: If your skin thickness is appropriate and there is no excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat, a non-surgical method alone can provide a natural lifting effect that rises from the fascial layer.

Limited cases to consider when using Ultherapy alone

​

Ultherapy has the property of contracting fat, so depending on the anatomical structure of the face, a combination prescription may be more effective than a single procedure.

​

Severe cheek hollowing: If there is significant collagen loss in the dermal layer and subcutaneous fat atrophy, it is difficult to complete the aesthetics of 'filling' with lifting alone. In this case, a design is needed that builds a support structure with Ultherapy and assists in the reconstruction of soft tissue by combining it with Juvelook or fillers.

​

Excessive fat and low elasticity: If the fat layer around the jaw is too thick or, conversely, the skin's own elasticity is extremely low, indiscriminate high-energy irradiation can lead to cheek hollowing or line imbalance. These are side effects caused by uniform shot distribution that does not consider tissue response.

Why the medical team's 'lifting design' determines the results

Ultherapy is not just about using equipment; the core is the design process that precisely analyzes the patient's face.

​

Real-time ultrasound monitoring (DeepSEE™): At Sio Clinic in Seongsu-dong, where the director provides direct consultations, we check the skin thickness, blood vessel location, and depth of the fascia, which differ for each patient, through real-time ultrasound images during the procedure.

​

Custom design: The intensity of energy and the direction (vector) of the shots must be adjusted differently according to the aging pattern. A precise design that avoids areas where nerves pass while concentrating energy on areas that need support is essential for safe and three-dimensional results.

​

The key to peanut-shaped face lifting: 'repositioning and alignment'

The goal of peanut-shaped face lifting is

not just to pull upward.

It is to soften the boundaries of curved areas and realign the facial structure.

When the fascial layer is precisely targeted through Ultherapy, the lower tissues contract firmly, and as a result, a smooth V-line and balanced facial contour can be restored even in a non-surgical way.

​

​

Lifting can leave

a dramatic change for some,

and disappointing results for others.

Even if you have a peanut-shaped face, Ultherapy alone may not be the answer depending on the individual's degree of cheek hollowing or skin condition. This is why precise analysis and a customized design tailored to your face shape must precede any unconditional procedure.
