Ulthera 300 Shots: How Much of the Face Does It Cover, and How Is It Different from 600 Shots?

Ulthera 300 shots means firing ultrasound in single lines at a set depth beneath the skin 300 times, and it is a scope focused on areas where sagging is a concern, such as the jawline and cheeks. To treat the entire face evenly or to fire the same area in two layers, 600 shots or more are used, and the number of shots is decided based on the degree of sagging, the size of the face, and skin thickness.

In Ulthera 300 shots, what does a shot count?

With Ulthera, each time the transducer at the end of the handpiece is placed on the skin and fired, small thermal coagulation points are made in a single line. This one line is 1 shot, and each transducer focuses ultrasound at a different depth. Because the 4.5mm tip targeting the fascia layer and the 3.0mm tip targeting the deep dermis are switched to suit each area, even the same 300 shots can be configured differently depending on how many shots are allotted to which depth.

Ulthera 300 shots vs. 600 shots: how is the coverage divided?

300 shots are commonly concentrated on the lower face where sagging is prominent, such as the jawline, double chin, and around the mouth. 600 shots are used to pass evenly over the entire face, including the forehead, around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline, or to fire areas with deep sagging in two layers at different depths. Results do not grow in proportion to the number of shots, and for people with little facial fat, concentrating shots on one area can make the cheeks look hollow, so the amount is adjusted.

At our Suwon clinic, Ultherapy Prime is offered in units of 300, 600, and 1,200 shots, and 1,200 shots can be split across two sessions.

FAQ

Q. Can Ulthera 300 shots cover the entire face?

A. If your face is small and sagging is mild, 300 shots can be spread thinly over the whole face, but they are usually concentrated on the areas that need them, such as the jawline and cheeks. Treating the whole face evenly takes around 600 shots, divided by area according to face size and degree of sagging.

Q. How is the Ulthera tip chosen?

A. Deep tips that reach the fascia layer are mainly used where tissue is thick, such as the jawline and cheeks, and shallow tips where the skin is thin, such as around the eyes and the forehead. Tips are switched while checking layer depth on the ultrasound display, so even for the same area, the ratio of tips used differs from person to person.

Q. How long should I wait before getting Ulthera 300 shots again?

A. Changes from Ulthera appear gradually over one to two months, so we monitor progress rather than retreating before then. The repeat interval is usually set between six months and one year, based on how fast sagging progresses and the changes after the previous treatment.
