Worried About Pain from Ultherapy? Read This Before You Decide (Honest Q&A on Sleep Anesthesia)
Hello, this is Shinyu Clinic (Shinyu Surgery & Dermatology).
Ultherapy is known as the gold standard for lifting. While everyone knows it is effective, the biggest reason people hesitate to click the "Reserve" button is probably the pain.
"Will it really be painless if I use sleep anesthesia?"
"Is it safe?"
"Is it worth the cost for my face?"
Youโve likely seen countless advertisements online, but found it hard to find a place that gives you the "real answers" youโre curious about. So today, we have gathered the 10 most realistic questions that patients ask directly in the consulting room.
Here are the honest, unembellished answers.
1. "Will it really be completely painless?" Your concerns about Sleep Anesthesia
This is the first question most people ask. Fear of pain is natural for anyone.
Q1. I heard Ultherapy hurts a lot. Will it really be finished painlessly while I sleep?
Yes, that is correct. If received while fully awake, it is a procedure that can be quite painful as it stimulates deep within the skin. However, at Shinyu Clinic, the procedure takes place while you are sleeping. An anesthesiologist is on-site to safely administer sleep anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain and the procedure will be over when you wake up from a deep sleep.
Q2. Iโve seen news about anesthesia accidents... Is it safe?
I fully understand that anxiety. That is why "who" performs the anesthesia is crucial. At our clinic, the doctor performing the lifting procedure does not multitask with anesthesia. Instead, a board-certified anesthesiologist monitors your vital signs right next to you throughout the entire procedure. We provide safe and comfortable sleep anesthesia procedures with a resident anesthesiologist.
Q3. Can I go home immediately after waking up?
You may feel groggy after the procedure, so sufficient rest is required. We provide private, single-occupancy recovery rooms where you will not encounter other patients. You can recover comfortably here before we help you head home safely.
2. "Is this the right lifting for MY face?" Design is more important than the machine
The reason results differ even when using the same equipment is the "human touch."
Q4. What is different about 'Ultherapy Prime'?
The core is the "Visible Technology (DeepSEEโข)". Instead of shooting blindly by feel, we perform the procedure while looking directly into your skin structure via ultrasound screens. It is safer and more precise because we can visually confirm and target the exact location of the SMAS (fascia) layer deep within the skin.
Q5. I heard others get 600 shots. Is it better for me to get more shots too?
No. More shots are not unconditionally better. Everyone has a different skin thickness and "Aging Level". Shinyu Clinic uses a unique system called "Level Lifting" to precisely diagnose your current skin condition (Dermis, Fat, SMAS levels) and design only the optimal number of shots you truly need.
Q6. I don't have much cheek fat, so I'm afraid I'll look gaunt (cheek hollowing).
Cheek hollowing is a side effect caused by wrongly targeting the fat layer. However, at Shinyu Clinic, we use the aforementioned screen (DeepSEEโข) to target the collagen-rich skin layers (dermis, SMAS) accurately. You can gain tight elasticity without worrying about volume loss.
3. "Is it effective for the cost?" Honestly speaking about results
Since it is a significant investment, it is natural to carefully weigh the effectiveness and duration.
Q7. When do results appear and how long do they last?
You may feel your face tighten immediately after the procedure, but the real results appear 2 to 3 months later as new collagen is generated. The thermal coagulation points created at the optimal temperature (60~70ยฐC) induce a natural regeneration response.
Q8. Are there any procedures that are good to combine while under sleep anesthesia?
The "perfect combination" depends on your skin concerns. We recommend solutions based on the Shinyu Level Lifting system:
- If you are worried about a double chin or jowls (Fat Level): We recommend combining ONDA Lifting or InMode, which destroy fat.
- If you are worried about fine lines and skin texture (Dermis Level): Combining Thermage FLX or Sofwave and Rejuran can tighten both the surface and deep layers simultaneously.
4. "Can I trust you?" Shinyu Clinic's Promises
Q9. Do you use genuine tips?
Absolutely. This is a matter of trust with the patient. Using genuine tips is fundamental to safety and effectiveness, and Shinyu Clinic adheres to a philosophy of correct and honest medical treatment.
Q10. Does the head doctor consult directly, not a consultant?
Yes, we are different from "factory-style" clinics. At Shinyu Clinic, an experienced head doctor consults and designs 1:1 directly. The doctor who knows your facial characteristics best is responsible from consultation to the procedure and finishing touches.
