Many people feel that their impression has changed as frown lines and crow's feet deepen. We looked at how Ultherapy approaches this when even looking in the mirror becomes a burden.
Background to a Changing Impression
After middle age, elasticity decreases, wrinkles deepen, and sharp facial lines may become rounded. In addition to aging, stress and poor lifestyle habits can also be causes.
- When frown lines and crow's feet deepen together
- When the cheeks lose volume, making the face appear larger
- When the skin sags overall due to loss of elasticity
Method for Treating Deep Layers
Ultherapy uses micro-ultrasound to treat desired depths, from shallow to deep layers. By targeting various depths, including the epidermis, dermis, fat and connective tissue, and muscle, it approaches not only the surface but also from within.
A characteristic feature is that it treats not only the surface but also deep layers.
Performed with Ultrasound Imaging
Because the procedure is performed while directly viewing the skin layers through ultrasound imaging, it targets the desired area, reducing wasted shots. The layers are confirmed with ultrasound during both diagnosis and treatment.
Duration and Individual Differences
The duration may vary depending on skin condition, thickness, and facial structure. While it has been advised that the results can be maintained for a relatively long time with a single treatment, the outcome varies from person to person.

Expected Changes
In addition to refining sagging facial lines, it also addresses wrinkles around the eyes and nasolabial folds, and is used to improve elasticity by inducing collagen response.
Why Consultation Comes First
It is important to carefully check the skin condition and determine the area and method, taking into account the desired results. It is advisable to start at a place that provides a thorough diagnosis.
For deepening frown lines and crow's feet, an approach that treats the deep layers together can be helpful. If you are concerned about changes in your impression, we recommend getting a diagnosis first.
