Sagging jowls are a typical sign of aging, appearing as skin elasticity decreases with age and the SMAS layer, which supports the face, weakens.

Most people looking into jowl lifting treatments first notice changes such as heavy sagging in the lower part of the cheeks and a blurred jawline.

To determine which procedure is right for you, it's essential to accurately understand the cause of these changes.

Ulthera is a lifting procedure that precisely delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to the deep layers of the skin.

Instead of the skin's surface, ultrasound energy is concentrated in the SMAS layer, a fascial layer, generating instantaneous heat. This thermal stimulation induces collagen regeneration and tissue contraction.

The reason Ulthera stands out in jowl lifting is its ability to deliver energy to this SMAS layer.

Unlike procedures that only pull the skin's surface, it targets the very structure that supports sagging jowls, creating fundamental changes.

The key cause of sagging jowls is the relaxation of the SMAS layer.

Indications broadly include not only cheek sagging but also a blurred jawline, deep nasolabial folds, and an overall heavy facial contour.

There's an increasing trend of people in their late 20s receiving it for preventative purposes, while those aged 40 and above, who already experience sagging, approach it for improvement.

The procedure involves cleansing and applying anesthetic cream, confirming the SMAS layer's position with ultrasound imaging, and then delivering energy to the predetermined depth via the tip.

When preparing for a jowl lifting procedure, the most frequently asked questions are about pain and recovery time.

Ulthera can cause a momentary hot and tingling sensation, but it's performed at a level that is tolerable with anesthetic cream and adjustment of treatment intensity.

Another characteristic is the minimal noticeable downtime, such as swelling or bruising, allowing daily activities to resume on the day of the procedure.

However, since collagen regeneration and tissue contraction occur gradually, the effects appear progressively over two to three months rather than immediately after the procedure.

There are also many misconceptions about the number of sessions and treatment cycles.

Some believe that a single treatment lasts a lifetime, but Ulthera, like any anti-aging treatment, requires periodic maintenance as the aging process continues.

Repeat treatments are typically considered every 6 to 12 months, and the timing of the next procedure may vary depending on the treatment intensity and the number of shots delivered.

For areas with severe sagging, additional tips may be used to approach different layers, emphasizing the importance of personalized diagnosis.

This concludes the general information regarding jowl lifting and Ulthera.

So, which clinic should you choose to expect safe and effective results?

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic provides clear standards for this question.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses a 4.5mm main tip, and also switches between 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips as appropriate for each situation.

Since areas with sagging jowls and areas with thin skin layers require different depths of energy, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's unique principle is not to treat the entire face with a single tip.

Before performing a lifting procedure, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic always begins by drawing the design while the patient is in a sitting position.

Designing while lying down can cause facial tissues to settle differently due to gravity, potentially leading to side effects like hollow cheeks. Therefore, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic adheres to the principle of designing in a sitting position, which mimics real-life posture.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Unique Tip Angle Adjustment Technique

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic precisely targets the SMAS layer by continuously viewing the ultrasound screen in real-time and subtly adjusting the tip's angle.

Even within the same area, tissue thickness and direction can vary. Therefore, if the procedure is performed only at a fixed angle without real-time ultrasound verification, the energy may not reach the desired layer.

After the procedure, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic records and shares the details of the day's lifting treatment on a lifting card.

The card, which details the type of tip used, treatment area, and number of shots, serves as a basis for determining the timing of the next procedure and ensures seamless, error-free management even if you visit another branch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many jowl lifting sessions are needed to see results?

A. While you can feel a change with a single jowl lifting session, considering the collagen regeneration process, it takes two to three months for the full effect to be achieved. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we adjust the necessary number of shots and tip configuration according to the degree of sagging.

Q. Is there a lot of pain or swelling after jowl lifting?

A. Jowl lifting is a procedure that involves a momentary sensation of heat, but there is rarely any noticeable swelling or bruising, allowing daily activities to resume on the day of the procedure.

Q. What is the difference between jowl lifting and Shurink?

A. Both procedures utilize ultrasound energy, but the Ulthera used for jowl lifting has the advantage of allowing real-time ultrasound imaging during the procedure. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic selects and recommends equipment tailored to the specific area and purpose.

Q. What is the recommended cycle for jowl lifting?

A. Jowl lifting is generally recommended to be repeated every 6 to 12 months, and the timing of the next procedure may vary depending on the number of shots and intensity of the previous treatment.
