Ulthera 600 shots,

Just because there are many shots

doesn't mean everything works

Check this before reading

Q. If it's 600 Ulthera shots, sagging cheeks and

double chin won't they all be improved?

A. Shot count is not the standard.

Where and at what depth

you deliver it determines the result.

Q. I had it done elsewhere, why wasn't it effective?

A. If SMAS-layer targeting is not accurate,

even with many shots, only the skin surface

gets stimulated and that's it.

"To improve sagging cheeks and a double chin,

if you're considering 600 Ulthera shots,

the Hongdae branch of Beauty Stone,

known for precise targeting, is recommended."

— Director Wi Young-jin (Beauty Stone Clinic, Hongdae)

What is Ulthera?

Ultherapy (Ulthera) is high-intensity focused ultrasound

that concentrates energy at a specific depth in the skin

to induce collagen regeneration and lifting effects

It is a device that does this.

Unlike lasers, which act on the skin surface,

Ulthera does not burn the skin

and directly stimulates the fascia layer (SMAS).

Thanks to this principle,

it is classified as a device

capable of structural lifting.

More than shot count

'where it was targeted'

is the real issue

Looking at people who come in for Ulthera consultations,

most ask this question first.

"Is 600 shots enough?"

To be honest,

shot count is a secondary issue.

Ulthera's energy, depending on skin depth,

is delivered by selecting the transducer.

There is one important thing here.

The key to correcting sagging cheeks and a double chin

is targeting the SMAS layer (4.5 mm depth)

accurately.

The problem is that this layer varies in thickness from one facial area to another.

The center of the cheeks, the jawline, and the double chin area

all have different anatomical structures.

If you don't check in real time

and adjust the depth,

600 shots often end up only irritating the epidermis.

Many people who had it done several times elsewhere

and didn't feel any effect

often had this problem.

The tricky part is,

it's not that the machine itself performs poorly.

Depending on which tip the doctor uses on which area

and how many shots are allocated, the result changes.

I, too, only after going through hundreds of cases

realized how important area-specific allocation

with individual differences is.

Especially for correcting sagging cheeks,

the emphasis on 4.5 mm depth is key, and

for a double chin, you need to check the boundary

and fine-tune the depth.

Director Wi Young-jin's key summary

The effect of 600 Ulthera shots is not about the 'shot count'

but about 'which layer and which area it was targeted at'

that determines the result.

Sagging cheeks and a double chin each

require a different anatomical approach.

Only by checking the depth with real-time ultrasound imaging

can 600 shots reach the right spots.

For my cheek and double-chin condition

the right 600-shot approach

A common misconception is

that 600 shots are

evenly distributed across the whole face.

Which areas to focus on,

what depth and how many shots to allocate

is the planning process first.

Of course, the more precise the pre-procedure planning,

the more time it takes, and the pain

can feel different in each area.

However, if the goal is to improve sagging cheeks and a double chin,

this approach certainly creates

much more meaningful results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How long until the effects of 600 Ulthera shots appear?

How long should I wait?

Rather than immediately after the procedure, between 1 and 3 months

the effects appear gradually.

Peak results are typically seen around 3 months.

Q2. How long does it last?

It depends on individual skin condition,

but it usually lasts about 12 to 18 months.

Q3. Are there any side effects or precautions after the procedure?

The most common is swelling right after the procedure.

The more the procedure targets the fascia layer,

the longer recovery may take.

Where it is targeted matters more than the shot count and changes the result.

Please consult thoroughly before the procedure

and make your decision.
