motty26 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I noticed that no one ever talk about Thermage here? Does it actually works? From what Ive read, it works like a lift but semi permanent? Was it worth it guys?
k-couture Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 It does work but is a skin layer tightening, whereas ulthera tightens the deeper layer. Its good to use a combination of both in one session. The only thing is both thermage and ulthera are not cost efficient. As in, the lift is very mild and doesnt last long and is expensive each session because the actual machines cost a crap ton, that's if you are using the FDA ones and not the imitation ones of course.
appleme Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 What do you think about hyaluronic acid / collagen boosters? i've read they can give some anti aging benefits with the moisture
k-couture Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 They don't tighten the skin at all, but they do improve skin condition which is a part of anti aging. I personally like the Salmon DNA injection and stem cell therepy. Last time I was in Korea I shoved cough, 8 ccs of Rejuran into my face within 2 weeks (usually its 2 per session but i decided to go crazy to see the effect) and I also did ulthera at the same time. Pretty happy with the results
eurasianbeauty Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 You are a plastic surgery wildwoman. lol How did you like the Ulthera?
hohohalmoni Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 According to my dermatologist, Ulthera, and most type of skin tightening lasers are more of a procedure that prevent and slow down the aging process than improve an already sagged skin, and for that reason, they recommend it to be repeated once a year when one is around his/her early 30s before aging begins in earnest.
d-o-abi Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I heard that ulthera is much better treatment for anti-aging but pain comes along with the treatment....
k-couture Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 It was not bad. I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't had already done a face lift cos it doesnt give dramatic results. But I did notice some mild tightening which was good enough. I view it as a touch up. Plus ulthera can help maintain a facelift.
k-couture Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 honestly just suck it up and take the zaps for beauty lol. Many places offer to sedate you mildly for like 10 mins while they zap your face so you feel no pain. I however did it like 1 or 2 days (can't remmeber exactly) before my breast surgery and i didnt want to go under anesthesia twice so i had a stress ball lol. It took 20 maybe 30 mins tops. Once its over its over there's no pain. Feels like someone using a rubber band and smacking you continuously haha. BDSM much? lol
starry-eyes Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Hi K, I have a work trip to Seoul coming up and thinking of (more than 1 session of) Rejuran too. Plus as many 'petit' procedures as I can fit into 2 free days only. How did you deal with the down time of doing Rejuran more than once in 2 weeks? The bumps only fade after 5 days right! Also, would you recommend doing these petit treatments at ps clinics or going to more skin-specific places? It seems like there aren't that many reviews here for non surgical procedures and clinics. I'm thinking of these: - Botox for jaw slimming - Ulthera/HIFU for skin tightening - nasolabial fillers - laser toning for pigmentation - Rejuran Any recommendations for where to get them done, and what order they should be done in? Thanks in advance!!! I know you are the queen of surgery advice and these aren't surgeries but was hoping you might have tips nonetheless for those of us just getting our feet wet in the world of Korean beatification!
