Hello.

This is Timeless Mapo Main Clinic,

creating healthy beauty together with you.

“I feel like my skin is getting thinner

and drier as I get older.”

“I want to get a lifting treatment, but I’m worried

my cheeks will look sunken because I don’t have much facial fat.”

When we speak with the many people who visit us, we find that a great number of them have similar concerns.

They want to improve their firmness, but they especially want to avoid hollow cheeks or an unnatural appearance.

In particular, if you have relatively little facial fat or have developed more fine lines around the eyes and mouth as your skin has become thinner,

considering Thermage, which we will discuss today, may be a good alternative.

Today, we will talk about what Thermage is,

and why a diagnosis tailored to each individual’s skin type is important :)

1. Radiofrequency heat energy that awakens the dermal layer of the skin

When people hear the term “lifting,” they often think of ultrasound or radiofrequency devices.

Thermage is a representative treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) heat energy.

The treatment delivers gentle heat to the dermis, the shallow layer of the skin,

causing collagen that has loosened and lost strength due to aging to contract and encouraging the production of new collagen.

You may be concerned, asking, “Will the treatment be very painful, or could it damage my skin?”

Thermage operates with a powerful cooling system that protects the skin’s surface by keeping it cool during the treatment.

This helps reduce the burden of surface damage while allowing the heat energy to be delivered stably only to the depth where it is needed.

After applying sufficient numbing cream, we carefully adjust the energy level while continuously communicating with the patient,

so you can receive the treatment relatively comfortably.

2. Firmer, denser skin without worrying about hollow cheeks!

One of Thermage’s greatest advantages is that

it does not work by burning the fat layer or strongly contracting the fascia.

Therefore, even people with little facial fat and thin skin who are concerned about hollow cheeks or sunken areas can receive the treatment with less concern.

Because it fills the collagen density within the skin in a dense and firm manner,

you may expect the skin’s surface to feel firmer and smoother over time.

It can also help refine pores that have gradually become enlarged and lax due to reduced firmness,

as well as the fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

For this reason, it tends to provide high satisfaction among people who want to improve their overall skin texture and density.

3. More important than intensity are “accurate shot distribution” and “close contact”

What is truly important when performing Thermage is not simply delivering the strongest possible energy.

• How thick is the patient’s skin?
• To what extent has firmness decreased in each area?

After precisely assessing these factors,

it is essential to set an appropriate energy level, maintain close contact between the tip and the skin without gaps, and deliver the shots.

Even when the same number of shots is used, the results can differ significantly depending on how the energy is distributed between the thin, sensitive area around the eyes, the cheeks with substantial loss of firmness,

and the jawline.

4. The process of finding the lifting treatment you truly need

No matter how effective radiofrequency energy may be,

applying it in the same way to everyone does not produce the same results.

Since Thermage is a treatment that encourages the skin’s own collagen regeneration,

it requires experienced expertise to adjust the energy after carefully assessing skin thickness, the degree of aging, and the skin’s current regenerative capacity.

Conversely, if the jawline is heavily sagging or you have a relatively large amount of fat, an ultrasound (HIFU) device may be a much more suitable alternative than Thermage.

We do not believe that lifting must always be addressed with the latest or most popular device.

Nor do we want to recommend the same treatment to everyone simply because others are doing it or because it is well known.

Rather than receiving an arbitrarily expensive and widely recognized lifting treatment,

what matters most is the process of finding the method that your skin truly needs at this point in time.

It does not have to be our clinic.

However, whichever treatment you choose,

we recommend that you consult sufficiently with a dermatology specialist beforehand about which method is truly right for you before making a decision.

Thank you for reading this lengthy post.

For results that you can remain satisfied with even as time passes,

we will continue to provide only the care that is truly necessary.
