Seoul City Hall Station Dermatology: Can You Get Ultherapy and Onda Together?

Hello.

I’m Lee Won-jin, Director of Kind Global Clinic, where I carefully listen to each patient’s concerns and provide treatment tailored to them.

I’m not sure which treatment to choose.

Would getting both treatments

make them more effective?

You may have similar questions as you read this.

There’s plenty of information online, but it isn’t easy to figure out which treatment your face needs.

First, Ultherapy and Onda are not interchangeable treatments.

Depending on your facial condition, you may consider having both treatments.

Today, I’ll explain the differences between Ultherapy and Onda and when it may be appropriate to combine them.

What’s the difference between Ultherapy and Onda?

Ultherapy is a lifting device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

It delivers energy to the deeper SMAS layer without damaging the skin’s surface, stimulating tissue that has lost elasticity.

You can think of it as a treatment that focuses on strengthening the structures that support the skin to lift sagging areas.

If your jawline is less defined than before

or your cheek fat has shifted downward,

or sagging beneath the chin is noticeable,

you may want to ask about Ultherapy.

Onda is a device that uses microwave technology.

It delivers energy to the subcutaneous fat layer, with a focus on both reducing fat and improving skin firmness.

It can be used not only for a double chin or deep cheek fat, but also to contour areas of the body such as the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs.

It tends to appeal to people concerned about stubborn fat that is difficult to reduce through diet or exercise.

Ultherapy → focuses on lifting and improving firmness

Onda → focuses on fat reduction and tightening

As you can see, the two treatments have different primary goals.

When might you consider combining the two treatments?

“I don’t have much fat, but I’m concerned about sagging.

So Ultherapy alone should be enough, right?”

You may have had this thought while reading the information above.

When people think of aging, they often first picture the skin sagging downward,

so it’s easy to assume that lifting the sagging areas will solve the problem.

However, in clinical practice, changes in the fat layer can also blur the facial contours.

In such cases, simply tightening the skin may not be enough, so you can consider the different roles of each treatment:

Ultherapy → lifting and improving firmness

Onda → managing the fat layer and facial contours

This allows you to consider each treatment according to its specific purpose.

The paper above, which analyzes facial aging, explains that aging involves more than just skin laxity. It also involves changes such as:

Loss of elasticity

Changes in connective tissue

Fat redistribution

Atrophy of deep fat

Downward movement of fat

These changes occur together as part of the aging process.

Therefore, age-related sagging is also affected by the characteristics and changes of different fat compartments.

For example, if a patient in their 40s has

a less-defined jawline,

sagging fat beneath the chin,

and reduced skin elasticity,

fat and sagging tissue may have shifted downward, making the facial contours look less defined.

1) In this case, Onda can be used to target the fat layer in the area and refine the contours,

2) followed by Ultherapy to address the firmness of the skin and tissue.

By assigning each treatment a distinct role, you can aim for an anti-aging approach that takes dimension and balance into account.

Of course, combining treatments in the same way is not necessary for everyone.

Since each patient’s pattern of aging

is different,

a lifting plan should be tailored

to their individual condition.

If you’re concerned about fine lines or skin texture as well as sagging,

you may also consider an overall anti-aging approach by combining Ultherapy and Thermage.

On the other hand, if your jawline is relatively well maintained but you’re concerned about a double chin or heaviness in the lower face,

you could consider combining Onda and InMode to refine your facial contours.

Expectations for results aren’t determined by the treatment price or how well-known the device is alone.

They can be shaped by selecting treatments that address the causes of facial aging.

So, discuss the degree of sagging and changes in the fat layer in detail with the medical team at a Seoul City Hall Station dermatology clinic,

and have a treatment combination planned to suit your current condition.

Like an omakase menu planned according to the ingredients available that day and the chef’s judgment, treatments can be planned to suit your facial condition.

Today, we looked at the features and differences between Ultherapy and Onda.

As I always say, when considering treatment at a Seoul City Hall Station dermatology clinic,

it’s important to carefully assess your current facial condition and create a lifting plan that’s right for you.

If you’re hoping for natural-looking results, please keep this in mind.
