Guaranteed lifting effect with powerful energy without worrying about pain – Gwangju Mi Clinic Sleep Anesthesia Ulthera & Thermage (Ulthermage)
Skin sagging and loss of elasticity are natural changes that occur with age. Ulthera (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU) and Thermage (Radio Frequency, RF) are widely known as representative non-surgical lifting procedures to improve these issues; both procedures deliver thermal energy to the dermis and SMAS layers to induce collagen regeneration and immediate skin tightening effects. The problem is that these effects only appear properly when strong energy is sufficiently delivered to the precise depth.
Why 'Sufficient Energy' Is Important
The lifting effects of Ulthera and Thermage are proportional to energy intensity. However, when the procedure is performed without general anesthesia, the pain experienced by the patient often leads practitioners to lower the energy intensity or fail to complete the planned number of shots. Consequently, this is the most common reason for reviews stating that the treatment was ineffective. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that patient satisfaction depends more on how strong the energy is delivered accurately and completely than on the performance of the equipment.
The Reason for Concurrent Sleep Anesthesia (Nerve Anesthesia) – Gwangju Mi Clinic’s Procedure Philosophy
Located on the 8th floor of Dana Medical Center, 68 Jukbong-daero, Seo-gu, Gwangju Gwangju Beauty ClinicAt our clinic, we perform Ulthera and Thermage procedures using sedation or nerve block anesthesia. Eliminating the burden of pain brings the following practical benefits.
- Maximum intensity energy transfer: Since the patient does not have to flinch from pain or stop the procedure, the planned number of shots and energy levels can be maintained from start to finish.
- Maintaining an accurate treatment lineIf performed without anesthesia, the treatment area may move slightly due to the pain response, but under sedation, a stable posture can be maintained, allowing for precise control of lines and depth.
- Relief from psychological burdenEven those who have hesitated to undergo lifting procedures due to fear of pain can receive the treatment comfortably.
- Reduced procedure time and recoverySince the procedure proceeds without unnecessary interruptions, the overall treatment time is efficient, and the recovery process is much smoother.
We do not compromise on anesthesia safety.
In procedures involving sedation, safety is paramount. Based on a deep understanding of anesthesia and emergency situations, Gwangju Mi Clinic is equipped with a dual safety system where the operating physician focuses on the procedure while a separate team of anesthesiologists monitors the patient's vital signs and oxygen saturation in real time. We strictly adhere to regulations regarding the use of anesthetics such as propofol and provide safe care all the way to the recovery room through pre-procedure medical history taking and continuous monitoring during the procedure.
It's a good idea
- For those who previously hesitated to undergo lifting procedures due to sensitivity to pain
- Those who received treatment in the past but were not satisfied with the results
- Those with severe sagging who require intensive treatment with high energy
- Those who want a synergistic effect by receiving Ulthera and Thermage together
The key to lifting procedures ultimately lies in 'how strongly and accurately' energy is delivered. If you wish to safely receive the full planned amount of energy without compromising due to pain, please consider Ulthera or Thermage treatments combined with general anesthesia.
Gwangju Beauty ClinicBased on extensive clinical experience and a dual-track anesthesia safety system, we provide lifting procedures that deliver maximum results with minimal pain. If you are concerned about sagging or loss of elasticity, please schedule a comfortable consultation to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
