Ultherapy vs Thermage Seoul Which Is Better | Rappoel Complete Guide
Non-surgical Lifting Comparison
Ultherapy and Thermage are the two most popular non-surgical lifting treatments in Seoul. Which one should you choose? Rappoel Dermatology offers both, and the director recommends the best option based on your individual needs.
What Is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target the SMAS layer — the same depth addressed in surgical facelifts. Best for significant sagging and deep nasolabial folds. Minimal downtime with mild redness.
What Is Thermage / RF Lifting?
Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis and subcutaneous fat, stimulating collagen contraction and regeneration. Better for overall skin tightening, fine lines, and pores. InMode and Oligio fall into this category.
