Ask what counts as one delivery, which depths and areas are planned, and how the count is allocated across those areas.<\/p>\n<p>Hello, I am Dr. Kim Yeon-jin, Chief Physician at UHCELL Clinic Gangnam.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend keeping two questions separate: what a device&#8217;s technical description says, and what the proposed treatment is expected to achieve for you. Ask for the reasoning behind the plan rather than interpreting a technical specification as a promise of results.<\/p>\n<h2>What does the delivery description tell you?<\/h2>\n<p>Sofwave&#8217;s manufacturer technology guide describes pulses that heat the dermis, creating multiple cylindrical thermal zones parallel to the skin surface.<\/p>\n<p>When reviewing either proposed plan, I recommend asking how the stated shot count relates to the planned deliveries. I would not use a count of thermal zones or coagulation points as a multiplier for expected clinical results.<\/p>\n<h2>Consider treatment depth and area together<\/h2>\n<p>Our Ultherapy PRIME guide lists tip depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm. Describing Ultherapy as targeting only the fascial layer overlooks these different depths.<\/p>\n<p>Sofwave&#8217;s manufacturer describes a thermal effect range of 0.5-2 mm, centered at 1.5 mm. I recommend asking which depth information applies to your proposed plan and what it means for the areas you want treated.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>What to compare<\/th>\n<th>Ultherapy<\/th>\n<th>Sofwave<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Depth information and its source<\/td>\n<td>Our Ultherapy PRIME guide: tip depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm<\/td>\n<td>Manufacturer technology guide: thermal effect range of 0.5-2 mm, centered at 1.5 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Details to clarify during consultation<\/td>\n<td>Planned transducer depths, treatment areas, and allocation across areas<\/td>\n<td>Treatment areas and allocation across areas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>I include these specifications to help you prepare questions, not to rank the devices or convert shot counts. Ask which depths and areas your actual plan includes.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than choosing by depth alone, I recommend asking why a particular area and depth have been proposed for the change you want to address.<\/p>\n<h2>Discuss safety before settling on a shot count<\/h2>\n<p>I recommend telling the medical team about any open wounds or severe acne in the proposed treatment area, any implanted devices, and your previous treatment history. Ask which contraindications and precautions apply to the proposed device and your circumstances before agreeing to a treatment count.<\/p>\n<p>Also ask for an explanation of possible adverse reactions and clear instructions on when to contact the medical team. I recommend discussing these questions as part of the plan, rather than waiting until after treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Prepare questions that go beyond the total count<\/h2>\n<p>I recommend first identifying the changes you would like to address and the areas that concern you. Then ask about the proposed count in the context of the full plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which areas are included, and which are not?<\/li>\n<li>For Ultherapy, which transducer depths are planned?<\/li>\n<li>How is the total count allocated across treatment areas?<\/li>\n<li>What precautions apply to my skin condition and previous treatments?<\/li>\n<li>What reactions should I expect, and which symptoms should prompt me to contact the medical team?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can review our Gangnam clinic&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/uhcell.com\/procedure\/ultherapy-prime\/?aeo=cta-ultherapy-vs-sofwave-are-100-shots-equivalent\">Ultherapy PRIME guide<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/uhcell.com\/procedure\/sofwave\/?aeo=cta-ultherapy-vs-sofwave-are-100-shots-equivalent\">Sofwave guide<\/a> before discussing your goals and areas of concern during consultation. My recommended starting point is to understand the plan proposed for you, rather than simply matching shot counts.<\/p>\n<p>\u203b Skin reactions and recovery times vary by individual. Please consult a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comparing 100 shots of Ultherapy and Sofwave?
