Why does Shin Bong-sun look noticeably different? A lifting laser fired by an “alien”?

Article Summary

Prompted by Shin Bong-sun’s televised account of Ultherapy and Thermage, the column addresses the principles of ultrasound lifting and pain management. It describes Ultherapy as delivering energy to target points beneath the skin, focusing on the process of adjusting treatment depth and intensity alongside device selection.

It explains that pain-reduction methods should be decided through consultation after assessing individual condition and possible side effects. Higher energy or more frequent procedures are not always advantageous, and hollowness may become more pronounced if facial fat and volume are not considered.

The article introduces possible post-treatment redness, heat, bruising, and sensory changes, and also discusses recovery care such as moisturizing and UV protection. Even with the same device, facial assessment and treatment design can vary; its aim is to encourage a comprehensive review from consultation through pain control and recovery.
