Many patients reported that immediately after the procedure, the difference between the left and right sides was not as significant as expected, and that swelling or tightness actually made comparisons difficult. However, starting around a month later, the jawline and deep cheeks on the treated side began to appear slightly firmer and more refined, and many said the difference was most noticeable after about two to three months. Some also mentioned that subtle differences in the jawline and cheek sagging became more apparent when comparing photos taken from the same angle.

It really resonates with me that you are looking for a lifting procedure due to concerns about skin elasticity in your 30s; it feels just like someone else's story. Your experience of achieving smooth and firm facial lines without worrying about pain or side effects was very helpful~~~^^ I really enjoyed reading your wonderful review, written with such care. Thank you so much!

I don't think simply combining it with other procedures results in double the effect. Ulthera handles deep fascial layer lifting, while Thermage, radio frequency, and skin boosters complement dermal layer elasticity, fine lines, and hydration, creating synergy to simultaneously improve facial lines, skin elasticity, and fine lines.

Dencerty is closer to a procedure that firms the skin by replenishing collagen within the skin using radiofrequency thermal energy, rather than a treatment that strongly lifts the deep fascial layer like Ulthera. Therefore, it is well-suited for concerns regarding fine lines, skin texture, and elasticity rather than sagging severe enough to compromise the jawline, and the fact that it may feel less painful than Ulthera can also be considered an advantage.

Based on reviews, many people mentioned that rather than a dramatic reduction in face size, their sagging cheeks and jawline were lifted, giving the impression of a more refined facial contour that made the face look smaller. You can also feel the elasticity to the touch; while the lines were only slightly refined immediately after the procedure, many reported that the skin became firmer around a month later, and the firmness became even more pronounced after two to three months.

If your goal is to naturally smooth out mid-face sagging and nasolabial folds, I recommend Dencerty. It is less burdensome because it focuses on gradually lifting elasticity rather than the strong pulling sensation of Ulthera; if you have a bulging sagging above the nasolabial folds, it is also a good idea to compare it with InMode. With Dencerty, you can usually start to feel firmness gradually 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure rather than immediately, and the changes become more distinct between 1 and 3 months. The effects typically last for around 6 months, and pain is usually just a stinging sensation of heat, varying depending on the treatment intensity and area.

It sounds tempting since the difference is visible to the extent that it hurts. I'm worried about a double chin too, so I think I should consider it.

I view Ultherapy as being closer to lifting sagging cheeks to make the overall face look less droopy, rather than directly eliminating nasolabial folds or wrinkles around the mouth. The effects often appear first in the jawline or double chin, and as the cheek line becomes more refined, the nasolabial folds and corners of the mouth may appear less prominent. If the primary cause of marionette lines or nasolabial folds is hollowness or a lack of volume rather than sagging, it would be better to consider supplementing volume with fillers or collagen regeneration treatments instead of Ultherapy.

Even though the person seeing them every day might not realize it, it seems their acquaintances can see the difference.

Ah, T_T I know, right? Haha. For me too, the results changed a bit between the first time and later on, so I think you really need to have a thorough consultation before applying it directly to your face.

So, the Ultherapy procedure takes about 20 minutes. Since it was under general anesthesia, I assume you received the treatment comfortably.

Since I have lost weight in my face as well, I became very careful about the intensity and treatment areas when choosing radio frequency lifting, worrying that it might make the hollows in my cheeks even more prominent. While pain and heat sensations vary from person to person for both Volneumer and Density, if you already have hollowed cheeks, I think it is more important to design the treatment focusing on areas that need elasticity and avoiding the sunken areas, rather than debating which procedure is better.
