At BNP Clinic, our Ultherapy treatments target the foundational layers of tissue to naturally lift and tighten the brow, chin, neck, and decolletage without surgery or downtime.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n <article class=\"faq-item border-b border-sand\/60\">\n <button class=\"faq-toggle w-full flex items-center justify-between py-5 text-left\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n <h3 class=\"text-[15px] font-medium text-dark pr-4\">What is the difference between Ultherapy and Thermage FLX?<\/h3>\n <span class=\"faq-icon text-gold text-xl font-light flex-shrink-0 leading-none\">+<\/span>\n <\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n <p class=\"text-[14px] text-muted leading-relaxed pb-5\">Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten by targeting deep tissue layers, while Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to smooth and contour the skin’s surface. Many patients at our Seoul clinic benefit from combining both treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation \u2014 Ultherapy for lifting and Thermage FLX for overall skin tightening.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n <article class=\"faq-item border-b border-sand\/60\">\n <button class=\"faq-toggle w-full flex items-center justify-between py-5 text-left\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n <h3 class=\"text-[15px] font-medium text-dark pr-4\">How long does a Sofwave treatment take?<\/h3>\n <span class=\"faq-icon text-gold text-xl font-light flex-shrink-0 leading-none\">+<\/span>\n <\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n <p class=\"text-[14px] text-muted leading-relaxed pb-5\">A Sofwave treatment session at BNP Clinic typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
