Confused by Ultherapy, Thermage, and Threads? The director of Tatoa Clinic breaks down the complex world of non-surgical lifting treatments. Discover the perfect solution for your skin type without a consultation visit!
ย
Hello, this is the Director of Tatoa Clinic. ๐
Today, we are going to talk about Lifting. High-frequency (RF), HIFU, Ultrasound, Microwave, Shurink, Ultherapy, Inmode, Onda Lifting, Titanium, V-Ro, Doublo, Thermage, TenTherma, Oligio, Mono threads, Cog threads, Mint threads, Jamber threads...
If you have even a slight interest in dermatology, you've probably heard these names at least once, right? There are so many types and machines that it gets confusing. Usually, when you search for answers, you just hear, "Come in for a consultation ^^"... Right?
Today, let's resolve all those questions right here in this post!
ย 
Why Does Our Face Sag? ๐ค
First, a quick review. If you only focus on filling deep wrinkles with fillers, you might end up with even deeper folds. You must make a composite choice involving Lifting.
When flesh starts to droop and skin begins to flow downwards, knowing why it happens is the key to solving it.
๐ก The Director's One-Line Summary
The reason facial skin sags is because the Collagen layer, which supports the subcutaneous fat, has become weak.
We need to understand two things well: Collagen (Elastin) and the SMAS layer. Filling the dermis tightly with collagen ensures that even if fat increases, the skin doesn't become flabby and saggy.
ย
Comparing Lifting Technologies ๐
Different machines have different mechanisms. Let me explain them based on how they work.
Device Mechanism Comparison
| Type | Devices | Mechanism | Characteristics |
|---|
| HIFU (Ultrasound) | Ulthera, Shurink, Doublo, V-Ro | Shoots high energy to the SMAS (muscle) layer to create thermal coagulation points, causing contraction. | Targets deep layers.
Quite painful. |
| RF (Radio Frequency) | Thermage, Oligio, TenTherma | Applies strong heat to the epidermis to penetrate deep into the dermis. | Like grilling meat; risk of surface burns if energy is not managed well. |
| Microwave | Onda Lifting | Concentrates heat only on the target layer using microwaves. Low surface heat, high internal heat. | Painless (No anesthesia needed).
Short procedure time (10-15 mins). |
โ ๏ธ Warning about Threads!
Thread lifting offers dramatic results, but threads can snap if you open your mouth too wide or during daily activities. It is often painful, expensive, and the duration might be shorter than expected.
ย 
The Director's Winning Combination ๐งฎ
I prefer sustainable, less painful, and less aggressive procedures. Based on your face type, here is the winning logic.
๐ Best Combinations
1) For Fatty Faces: Onda + Ulthera (or Shurink)
2) For Thin/Wrinkled Faces: Onda + Thermage (or Oligio)
+ Add Mono Threads for structural support if needed.

FAQ: Frequent Questions โ
Q: Everyone is doing Thread Lifting these days. Isn't that more effective?
A: Thread lifting is dramatic, but I don't highly recommend it due to pain, cost, and the risk of snapping. However, Mono threads act like reinforcing bars (rebar) for your skin structure, so the insertion itself provides great structural benefits without the high risk of cog threads.
Q: Who should NOT get certain lifting procedures?
A:
- Lots of cheek fat: Avoid Shurink (Do Inmode instead).
- No cheek fat: Avoid Ulthera.
- Recent Skin Booster: Avoid Onda for a while.
- Thin skin/Bruises: Avoid Threads.
โจ Cause of Sagging: Weakened Collagen Layer
๐ Best for Pain-Sensitive: Onda Lifting (Microwave)
๐งฎ Winning Formula:Onda + (Ulthera OR Thermage) + Mono Threads
๐ฉโ๐ป Warning: Avoid threads if you have thin skin or hate downtime!
