Faced with Ultherapy, Thermage and thread lifting, many patients ask the same question: which one is right for me? Ever Dermatology in Apgujeong answers it by looking at three factors — layer, goal and lifestyle.
Factor one: which layer is sagging
If the descent comes from the deep SMAS layer, focused ultrasound reaches where it matters. If the skin surface has lost firmness, radiofrequency in the dermis is more relevant. When tissue has visibly shifted, threads reposition it directly. Diagnosis, not preference, points to the layer.
Factor two: the result you are after
An immediate, visible change points toward thread lifting, which shows its effect straight away. Gradual, natural firming over months suits energy-based devices. Many treatment plans combine both — an immediate lift with collagen building behind it.
Factor three: downtime and maintenance
Energy devices involve essentially no downtime; threads may bring swelling or tightness for a week or two. Duration also differs, from months to over a year. The right choice balances the calendar as much as the face — something the consultation makes concrete.
