Ultherapy
Tightening sagging skin with ultrasound, no incision
Ultherapy is an ultrasound lifting treatment you can have without an incision. It may suit you if surgery or incisions make you uneasy. Downtime is shorter than with surgery, so you can get back to daily life sooner.
At KOKO Plastic Surgery, we also suggest combining Ultherapy with a diamond thread lift, which uses barbed dissolving threads, to aim for a cleaner V-line.
Who it is for
- Ultherapy alone did not give you much change
- You want to notice a change toward a V-line in one session
- Your face is full, but you want a V-line
- You want to look more youthful
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound, not a scalpel, to tighten sagging skin. It is applied wherever sagging bothers you, from the forehead to the cheeks, jaw and neck.
Because there is no incision or surgery, it may suit you if surgery worries you. Downtime is also shorter than with surgery.
Ultherapy with a diamond thread lift
Instead of a standard thread lift, we combine Ultherapy with a lift using diamond threads. These are dissolving threads with barbs all the way around (360°).
Combining tightening with lifting aims for a cleaner V-line.
What is a diamond thread lift?
It is a lift you can fit into a weekend, and a change is easy to see right after treatment. You can also go straight back to daily life afterward.
The threads are made by a patented molding method. The strong barbs (SUPER BARB) are designed to hold more firmly in the skin tissue than common cut barbs (cutting BARB).
Thread patents: Korean Patent No. 10-1057377 and No. 10-1057376
A V-line without cutting bone
Many people who want a slimmer face shape do not actually need bone surgery. KOKO Plastic Surgery’s “non-surgical V-face treatment” aims for a V-line without cutting bone.
We assess your skin thickness and elasticity, and how developed your jawbone and chewing muscles are. Then we choose the method that suits you.
Risks and side effects
Results and recovery vary from person to person. The main risks and side effects are:
- Swelling and bruising after surgery or treatment
- Infection or inflammation
- Asymmetry, or a result that differs from what you pictured
- Scarring (when an incision is made)
- Numbness or changes in sensation (often temporary)
If anything concerns you, you can still reach us on WhatsApp after you fly home.
