Thermage Is Good for Fine Wrinkles — Why Thermage FLX Is So Popular at Just Plastic Surgery!

It may not be that your skin has aged,

but rather that it has been holding up and enduring all this time.

Today, let’s talk about Thermage.

We are a clinic staffed only by board-certified plastic surgeons, but among skin lasers, Thermage plays a very important role.

At present, the 4th-generation device, Thermage FLX, is the latest model, and our clinic also uses this device.

How Thermage FLX works

1. The principle of Thermage

Thermage is a procedure that delivers heat to the dermal layer of the skin using radiofrequency (RF) energy.

During this process, collagen contracts, leading to an immediate improvement in firmness, and as new collagen is generated afterward, the skin gradually becomes firmer.

Thermage is not simply a lifting treatment; it is better understood as a method that improves the skin’s structure itself.

2. Thermage shot count (300 shots, 600 shots)

• 300 shots: basic lifting used across the entire face

• 600 shots: more active improvement when there are fine wrinkles and reduced elasticity

The number of Thermage shots is not simply a matter of more or less;

it is a treatment plan designed according to the condition of the face and the goal.

3. What is Eye Thermage?

Eye Thermage is a Thermage procedure that uses a tip designed specifically for the eye area to focus treatment around the eyes.

Because the skin around the eyes is very thin, precise energy control is needed,

and it is effective for improving fine wrinkles under the eyes and the elasticity of the eyelids.

4. What is Thermage good for?

Thermage is especially effective in the following cases.

✔️ Fine wrinkles around the eyes

✔️ Fine wrinkles around the mouth

✔️ Reduced skin elasticity

✔️ Enlarged pores

✔️ Early skin sagging

In particular, Thermage is a procedure that is stronger for shallow wrinkles and improving skin texture than for deep wrinkles.

5. Why Thermage remains the undisputed No. 1

◾The device has a high level of stability and refinement

◾Energy delivery is uniform and precise

◾The cooling system is excellent, making it highly safe

◾It has a system that automatically controls shot accuracy

◾The results tend to be highly reproducible

Thermage is a device that has become very refined through long-term upgrades.

When you actually use the device directly, you can immediately feel that it is stable and highly refined.

If it does not reach the correct position, an error occurs and it is designed to be shot again, which increases procedural accuracy.

It is not easy to implement a technology that delivers strong radiofrequency energy while simultaneously cooling the skin quickly, and this is one of Thermage’s key advantages.

In the end, what matters is

where to focus, and how to adjust the energy level,

depending on the patient’s wrinkle location, skin condition, and desired results.

Pain can be sufficiently controlled with anesthetic cream, and if needed, sedation anesthesia is also possible.

In the case of deep wrinkles, thread lifting or fillers may be more suitable,

but for shallow fine wrinkles in the skin, Thermage becomes a very good choice.

I recommend receiving Thermage consistently about once a year.
