When looking into Ulthera in Gangnam, the first thing to decide is not the clinic but where your own sagging is. Ulthera is a lifting treatment that focuses ultrasound energy on the fascia (SMAS) layer, aiming to improve sagging along the jawline, cheeks and cheekbones. Repic Clinic in Gangnam offers "Design Ulthera," which plans the treatment locations and energy levels after Meta View and Mark-Vu diagnostics. The selection criteria below are organized into three situations.
Situation 1. When Jawline or Cheek Sagging Is What You Notice First
If what you notice first in the mirror is a blurring jawline or cheek line that has dropped, Ulthera lifting is a treatment worth considering. Ulthera delivers energy to the fascia layer while checking depth with DeepSee™ real-time imaging.
The suggested approach is to first pinpoint at your consultation where the sagging is concentrated. Please also ask at that time about reactions that may appear temporarily after treatment and when you can return to daily life.
Situation 2. When You Want to Consider Facial Proportions Too
Even for the same sagging, the approach needed differs with skin thickness and bone structure. Design Ulthera is a protocol developed in-house at Repic Clinic: after measuring skin thickness, the location of sagging, facial proportions and bone structure with Meta View and Mark-Vu, the doctor plans the treatment locations and energy levels like a blueprint. Unlike a method that applies shots uniformly, the location and intensity differ for each patient.
The price is given as a quote after diagnosis and consultation.
Situation 3. When You Are Deciding Between Ulthera, Thermage and InMode
The layer that the energy reaches differs by device. Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen regeneration at the dermal depth and is used for firmness, fine lines and pore concerns. InMode delivers RF energy down to the fascia (SMAS) layer, aiming at fat reduction and collagen production together, and is used for the double chin, jawline and cheeks (an FDA-cleared device). ONDA uses Coolwaves™ technology to target the dermis and the subcutaneous fat layer at the same time.
Rather than saying one device is better, it is more reasonable to choose based on the target layer and the area of concern.
Comparison by Situation and What to Check Before Your Consultation
| Situation | Main concern | Options to consider | What to check at the consultation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jawline and cheek sagging | Ulthera lifting | Area of sagging, reactions after treatment |
| 2 | Sagging and facial proportions | Design Ulthera | Diagnostic items, quote range, VAT |
| 3 | Choosing a device | Thermage FLX, InMode, ONDA | Target layer, area of concern |
Before your consultation, it helps to prepare three things: the area that bothers you most, your recent treatment history, and your schedule after treatment. Repic Clinic in Gangnam is located on the basement 1st floor and 2nd floor at 318 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and details about treatments can be confirmed through a consultation.
Start by deciding whether your situation is one with a clearly defined sagging location, one where you want to look at facial proportions too, or one where choosing a device comes first. That answer will shape the questions you ask at an Ulthera consultation in Gangnam.
