Well, Thermage is mentioned as a representative lifting equipment.

but Because the energy methods and target groups are different , Results may vary depending on skin type.

 

So, rather than asking “which equipment is better,” the question comes first: “what kind of energy does my skin need?”

 

Why is understanding your gear important?

Lifting is ultimately Where and how is heat transferred? It's a problem.

• collagen fibers

• fat cells

• Superficial Muscle Mass (SMAS)

Among these The purpose varies depending on which layer is being heated.

 

Depending on the energy source, it is broadly divided into four types.

• Ultrasound (HIFU)

• Radio Frequency (RF)

• laser

• microwave

If you choose without knowing this difference, you may not be as satisfied as you expected even if you increase the number of shots.

 

Definition: What makes lifting equipment different?

Lifting is a procedure that uses energy to heat specific layers.

 

Depending on the energy method, the area of ​​action and purpose are different.

 

Principle: How it works by energy

① Ultrasound (HIFU)

Featured Equipment: Well, shrink

• Focusing energy on one point like a convex lens

• Create hot spots to target the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer

📌 If your facial line is broken
📌 This method is used when there is a little bit of fat.

The 4.5mm tip targets the fascia layer rather than hitting the muscle.
It is important to get the layers right.

 

② High frequency (RF)

Featured Equipment: Thermage, Density, Serf

• Heat generation through current flow

• Targeting the dermis and shallow fat layer

📌 Improved skin texture
📌 Fine wrinkles
📌 Used for the purpose of improving elasticity.

High frequency is not inherently intended for deep penetration.

Considered if you want to improve elasticity in dry skin.

 

③ Laser

Featured Equipment: titanium

• Widen the spot for deep heat transfer

• Parallel cooling

📌 If you have thin skin
📌 If you want immediate lifting and whitening

Depth transmission varies depending on pressure control.

 

④ Microwave

Featured Equipment: Coming

• Similar principle to a microwave oven

• Heat transfer to the fat layer

📌 If your face is thick and has a lot of fat
📌 For fat reduction purposes

 

It is also mentioned as an alternative in cases where the effect was not great even after performing multiple shots of Ulthera.

 

Note: Results may vary depending on skin type.

✔ If you have a lot of fat

Even if you progress through 600 or 1000 shots of Ulthera, there are cases where you feel that the line does not change much.

✔ If you have thin skin

If you are the type that does not want to induce fat loss, then high frequency method is more suitable.

✔ Thick skin type

Titanium may not be an option if you have thick or fatty skin.

✔ Increase in combination treatments

Recently

• Titanium + Ulthera

• Come + Ulthera

There are also many cases where they are combined like this.

 

Where is the location of Ulthera Thermage?

Ulthera and Thermage are still well-known in the lifting field.

 

but,

• High frequency equipment also follows 6.78MHz.

• There are also devices that add 2MHz.

• There are also devices that combine monopolar and bipolar.

Domestically produced equipment is also appearing with competitive prices.

 

So, it is not a “replacement device”, but a structure designed with different energy characteristics for each.

 

In the end, what matters is

✔ Where is the heat transferred?
✔ Skin thickness and fat content
✔ Whether the purpose is to straighten the lines, improve elasticity, or reduce fat

 

These differences will vary depending on the actual case.
