This is a procedure note for Why is it better to receive 500 shots or more of Ultherapy in one session? at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
If you're considering lifting treatments, you've probably heard that it's best to receive 500 shots or more of Ultherapy at once.
Shot count is one of the key factors that determines the results of an Ultherapy treatment.
In this article, we'll explain why Ultherapy treatments of 500 shots or more are recommended.

Ultherapy is a lifting treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy to the SMAS layer deep within the skin.
The SMAS layer is a fascial layer that supports skin elasticity. The principle is that heating this layer promotes collagen regeneration.
It is consistently chosen among lifting treatments because it can improve sagging and loss of elasticity without surgical incision.
The shot count refers to the number of points where energy is delivered to this SMAS layer.
Since collagen regeneration is stimulated throughout the face by accumulating individual points, a sufficient number of delivered points is necessary to expect an even effect.
This is why 500 shots or more of Ultherapy are recommended.
Ensuring a sufficient number of treatment points for each area helps to deliver stimulation evenly across the entire face and prevents imbalance where only certain areas are stimulated.
If the shot count is insufficient, the lifting effect may only appear locally or be less noticeable.

Ultherapy is suitable for concerns such as sagging jawlines, cheek sagging, neck wrinkles, and loss of elasticity in the double chin area.
It is also often received for preventive purposes, even in the early stages of skin sagging.
The treatment process involves cleansing the face, applying anesthetic cream, spreading ultrasound gel, and then delivering energy by pressing the tip closely against the skin.
The depth of energy delivery varies depending on the type of tip, and setting different depths for each area ensures safe and accurate treatment.

During the treatment, you may feel warmth and a tingling sensation, but most people tolerate it well.
There is almost no downtime, so daily life is possible immediately after the treatment.
Any redness usually subsides within half a day.
Lifting treatments are typically received at intervals of 4 to 6 months, which considers the collagen regeneration cycle.

While there is a misconception that more shots are always better, what's important is whether the treatment points are evenly distributed in the necessary areas.
500 shots of Ultherapy should also be understood not as a mere number, but as a sufficient number of treatment points to deliver energy evenly across the entire face.
Results Only Possible at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic
At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we prioritize accurately reaching the SMAS layer during Ultherapy 500-shot treatments.

In addition to the 4.5mm main tip, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic uses 3.0, 2.0, and 1.5mm tips, changing them according to the characteristics of each area.
If the same depth is applied to shallow areas like around the eyes and deep areas like the cheeks, the effectiveness may decrease or safety may be compromised.
Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic always performs design while the patient is in a sitting position before treatment.
Designing while lying down can alter the facial line due to gravity, potentially leading to side effects like hollowed cheeks. Therefore, we go through a precise design process in a sitting position.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic precisely targets the SMAS layer by adjusting the tip's angle and performs the treatment while observing the real-time ultrasound screen.
Because we confirm the layers that are not visible to the eye using ultrasound, rather than guessing, the Ultherapy 500 shots are delivered accurately to the necessary areas.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Unique Precise Treatment Know-How
After the treatment, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic prepares a lifting card for that day's procedure and shares it with the patient.
Recording which tips were used and how many shots were administered to each area can serve as a reference for determining the next treatment schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are Ultherapy 500 shots necessary for the entire face?
