Yeongdeungpo Lifting Dermatology: Can Tensera and Tensherma Be Performed at the Same Time?

The skin is the shield that protects our body and the largest organ we have.

And every day, it is directly exposed to outside irritants such as sunlight, fine dust, and dry winds, facing countless forms of stress.

In addition, not only these external factors but also key skin components such as collagen and elastin, which are located inside the skin, gradually decrease, and cellular regeneration slows down, causing the skin to slowly sag and develop wrinkles.

Skin that has lost its elasticity can become a major cause of a dull, aged appearance.

Not only that, but its protective function also weakens, making it more vulnerable to external irritants.

What is important here is that once skin elasticity declines, it is difficult to recover naturally.

It is much like a stretched rubber band that has difficulty returning to its original firmness.

Many people try various home care methods to restore skin elasticity, but home care alone makes it difficult to rebuild problems that have occurred deep within the skin.

In addition, if care is done the wrong way, the skin may instead suffer large or small kinds of damage.

Therefore, if you are feeling stressed by the signs of skin aging that bother you every time you look in the mirror, it would be a good idea to visit a clinic and receive appropriate help.

Today, I will explain in detail about the procedures called 'Tensera' and 'Tensherma,' which can be considered for healthy and lively skin at Yeongdeungpo Lifting Dermatology, so please read on carefully.

Tensera and Tensherma: How are these procedures performed?

Let’s think of the skin as a building.

The dermal layer, which is located deep within the skin, plays a role similar to sturdy steel reinforcements that support a building.

And the SMAS layer functions like the concrete built on top of the steel reinforcements, helping maintain the strength of the overall structure.

But as time passes, the steel reinforcements rust and cracks appear in the concrete.

The same happens with our skin, and as we get older, the dermal layer and the SMAS layer lose the strength they originally had.

In particular, as the production of collagen and elastin within the dermis decreases, the skin may no longer resist gravity and can sag easily.

In addition, as the SMAS layer also becomes loose, not only can a sagging double chin and jowls form, but fine wrinkles can also settle in various parts of the face.

Tensera and Tensherma are lifting procedures that can be applied to the dermis and SMAS layer.

Among them, Tensera is a lifting procedure that uses powerful ultrasound energy and is performed by targeting the weakened, sagging SMAS layer.

As the surrounding skin tissue receives the heat stimulation and contracts, you can expect an effect that helps sagging skin tighten upward.

In short, you can think of it as similar to what happens when an squid is grilled over fire and shrinks tightly.

Tensherma is a procedure that uses monopolar radiofrequency thermal energy and aims to raise the skin temperature and promote the production of collagen and elastin.

When this happens, the dermis regains its earlier vitality, and improvements in skin elasticity, fine wrinkles, and skin texture can be expected.

Tensera and Tensherma: Can they be performed at the same time?

Tensera and Tensherma both aim to 'rebuild the skin structure,' but they show clear differences in that each targets a different skin layer.

Because of this, many people wonder, 'Wouldn't it be better to do both procedures at the same time?'

Of course, performing the two procedures together can help you expect a better lifting effect.

In fact, there are quite a few people who undergo Tensera and Tensherma together, to the point that the term 'TenTen lifting' exists.

However, not everyone can undergo both procedures at the same time.

In particular, if you have very little facial fat or very thin skin, excessive treatment may cause a sunken-cheek effect in certain areas of the face.

Therefore, rather than thinking, 'I must do both procedures at the same time no matter what!' it may be better to plan treatment after consulting with the medical staff.

Will cold compresses help after Tensera and Tensherma?

The key point of Tensera and Tensherma is stimulating the deeper layers of the skin by using specific energy.

In other words, they act like an alarm that wakes up collagen cells so they can work as actively as before.

Because of this, some redness and warmth may occur on the skin after the procedure.

When these symptoms appear, you may instinctively think, 'I should quickly calm things down with a cold compress.'

However, using a cold compress may slow collagen production, and the expected effects may appear very minimal.

Since collagen is activated only in high-temperature environments, it is best to avoid cold compresses as much as possible.

That said, if you want smoother recovery, it would be good to provide plenty of moisture to help form a skin barrier, and it is advisable to apply sunscreen more carefully than usual.

A decline in skin elasticity can be more than just an external issue; it can gradually reduce quality of life.

Therefore, if you want to regain healthy and elastic skin, planning the right lifting procedure can be helpful.

However, Tensera and Tensherma are procedures whose expected effects can vary greatly depending on how they are performed.

That is why, after collecting as much information as possible, it is advisable to find medical staff who have an understanding of lifting procedures.

In addition, because the energy intensity may vary slightly depending on the patient's skin condition, degree of sagging, and depth of wrinkles, it is better to choose a clinic that performs a detailed skin examination so that all of these factors can be assessed carefully.
