Dr. Kanjana Sermswan, Director of the Dermatology and Beauty Center at Bangkok Hospital, has introduced facial lifting devices for sagging skin and restoring brightness to the face with Ulthera & Thermage which help reduce the looseness in areas like eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, chin, and neck.
Ulthera uses high-frequency ultrasound waves that specifically target the desired skin area. The energy penetrates deep into the skin to the junction of the upper muscle layer or Smas, causing a contraction of about 1 millimeter. This effect pulls up the upper skin’s collagen, making it tighter in a natural lifting manner without the need for surgery. It rebuilds and repairs by stimulating new growth and repairing existing collagen, making the skin firmer, smoother, and minimizing pores.
Meanwhile, Thermage uses radiofrequency to transmit heat to the deepest layer of the dermis to tighten and stimulate the existing collagen to continuously rebuild itself. This results in a firm, smooth-faced surface with smaller pores and reduced wrinkles, which is especially suitable for people with a relatively large amount of facial fat, leaving no scars or marks. A benefit of THERMAGE is that the skin immediately tightens after the procedure and the results progressively improve, becoming significantly noticeable in the 2nd month and very apparent in the 6th month.
