Key points
Ulthera delivers focused ultrasound (HIFU) to the SMAS, the supporting layer at about 4.5mm, to tighten tissue and stimulate new collagen. Because the treatment screen shows the skin layers in real time, Dr. Kim checks thickness and fat in each area and distributes depth and shots accordingly.
01
How Ultherapy works
Ultrasound energy is focused to a point to create tiny thermal coagulation points at a set depth, leaving the skin surface untouched. Transducers at 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm are switched by area; the deepest targets the SMAS that holds the face up.
02
Will Ultherapy make my cheeks hollow?
Too much energy in an area with little fat can make it look hollow. Dr. Kim separates the volume you want to keep from the areas that need lifting, reduces depth and shots over the front cheeks and temples, and focuses on the jawline and lower face.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I go sightseeing after Ultherapy?
Usually yes. Some redness, swelling or temporary soreness can occur, and a few people have mild swelling for up to a week.
How is Ulthera different from Sofwave?
Ulthera reaches the SMAS for deeper sagging; Sofwave works at a fixed 1.5mm in the upper dermis for fine lines and firmness. They can be combined by layer.
Results and recovery vary from person to person. Redness, swelling, bruising or discomfort may occur after treatment. Suitability is confirmed at a consultation.
