Skin Analysis Seoul: Why Skin Analysis Before Treatment Matters

※ This video was produced with patient consent and features a real treatment case.

Patient’s Main Concerns

• ✔ Collapsing Jawline & Lower Face — noticeable sagging and loss of definition around the neck and lower face
• ✔ Sun Damage & Pigmentation — dark spots and uneven skin tone from high sun exposure without sunscreen
• ✔ Fine Lines Around the Eyes — visible wrinkling and volume loss in the under-eye area
• ✔ Desire for Structural Tightening — wanting a powerful lifting effect that targets all layers of the skin
• ✔ Need for Clear Pre-and-Post Verification — wishing to see exactly how much the face improves after the procedure

① Area of Concern

Using the advanced 3D skin analysis device, Meta-Vu, the doctor identified deep-set UV pigmentation, blemishes, and melasma spread across the face due to lack of sun protection. Structurally, the patient showed significant tissue sagging in the lower face and neck area, along with a high density of fine wrinkles around the delicate under-eye zones.

② Combining Ultherapy and Thermage

Traditional visual inspections or standard 2D photography cannot accurately capture the depth of tissue sagging or the exact volume changes in facial contours. Without a precise 3D breakdown, it is difficult to map out the exact depth for high-energy lifting devices, which can lead to suboptimal energy delivery or missed areas in regions with severe volume loss like the jawline.

③ Doctor’s Recommendation

To address the multi-layered tissue laxity, Dr. Yongbae recommended a premium combination of Ultherapy Prime and XERF. By utilizing the 3D data from the MetaVue skin analysis device, the treatment can precisely target the deep SMAS layer with ultrasound energy while simultaneously tightening the dermal layers with high-frequency radiofrequency.

① Advanced 3D Skin Analysis Before Treatment — MetaVue Diagnosis

The foundation of the treatment began with a comprehensive scan using the 3D skin analysis device, MetaVue. This state-of-the-art system reconstructs the patient’s face into a complete 3D model. By applying specialized analysis filters, it uncovers hidden pigmentation underneath the surface and visualizes structural volume loss. This allowed Dr. Yongbae to precisely analyze the structural state before the procedure and set a flawless blueprint to contrast with post-treatment results.

② Ultherapy Prime & XERF Combo — Multi-Layered Total Tightening

When Thermage 600 shots are used alone, the skin gains noticeable elasticity, but the deeper tissues can sometimes feel separated or detached from the facial structure. To counter this, Dr.Newcell paired the treatment with Ultherapy. By targeting the deep muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer beneath the dermis, Ultherapy tightly cinches the foundational tissue. This causes the newly volumized, elastic skin to beautifully “stick” and adhere to the face, creating a seamless, sharp contour.

③ Optimized Session and Interval Planning

Premium lifting treatments like the Ultherapy and XERF combination are strategically planned based on long-term tissue regeneration. While an immediate tightening effect can be seen due to collagen fiber contraction, the peak lifting results typically manifest over 1 to 3 months as new collagen matrices form. Dr.Newcell designs customized yearly or bi-yearly maintenance intervals based on individual aging speeds tracked by the 3D skin analysis device.

Key Treatment Principle

• ✔ Definitive lifting of the sagging lower face, creating a sharp, highly defined jawline and neck structure
• ✔ Visible reduction in the appearance of fine wrinkles, especially around the delicate under-eye areas
• ✔ Enhanced overall skin density and elasticity as the dual-wavelength RF stimulated deep collagen production
• ✔ Clear, objective visualization of facial volume changes by comparing the 3D pre- and post-treatment MetaVue scans

① Data-Driven Precision

Using a 3D skin analysis device allows us to see the exact depth of structural sagging and hidden sun damage before a single shot is fired.

② Synergy Is Essential

True facial rejuvenation requires targeting multiple skin layers at once. Combining the deep foundational lifting of Ultherapy with the advanced dermal tightening of XERF creates an unmatched lifting synergy.

③ Customization Over Generalization

No two faces age the same way. Matching the precise energy levels, depths, and vectoring lines to a patient’s unique 3D facial structure is the absolute key to delivering a natural, youthful appearance.
