Thermage is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to deliver heat to the deep layers of the skin (the dermis/subcutaneous fat layer), inducing collagen regeneration and helping improve skin elasticity and lifting.

In particular, Thermage FLX uses a cooling system and dedicated tips to allow for a more precise procedure and to help reduce discomfort while still aiming for a lifting effect.

Because it is not a method such as incision or injection, there are few visible signs of treatment, the recovery period is short, and it is possible to return to daily life immediately, which can reduce the burden of recovery.

Thermage, which delivers radiofrequency energy,

uses monopolar radiofrequency to generate heat by utilizing the resistance of the tissue inside the skin, and this heat reaches the dermis/subcutaneous fat layer, stimulating the reconstruction and production of collagen fibers to improve skin elasticity and lift sagging skin.

Elasticity increases through the immediate contraction of collagen fibers and subsequent regeneration stimulation, and some effects appear gradually over time.

Also, the latest Thermage FLX model adds a cooling system, vibration, and automatic adjustment functions to protect the epidermis, lowering the risk of pain and burns and reducing the burden of the procedure.

Types for which radiofrequency lifting and Thermage FLX may be considered include:

when the collagen density in the dermis layer decreases or loosens, reducing skin elasticity and causing sagging,

when you want to improve fine wrinkles such as small lines or eye-area wrinkles,

when the jawline or cheeks lose contour definition and you want to make the facial outline more distinct,

when you want to improve elasticity naturally without surgery or incisions to reduce the burden,

when you want non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime and a quick return to daily life,

and other similar cases. Thermage FLX lifting may be recommended in these situations, but whether the procedure is suitable can vary depending on the patient’s age, skin condition, and other factors,

so the decision should be made through sufficient consultation with a medical professional.

After Thermage, you may immediately feel that the skin is tighter or more elastic, and the main collagen regeneration effects may appear gradually over several weeks to several months. The average maintenance period is about 6 months to 1 year, and the duration may vary depending on skin type. To achieve longer-lasting results and stronger effects, periodic treatments may be helpful.

After the Thermage procedure, redness or swelling may appear temporarily, but these usually subside within a short period. It is also a good idea to use sunscreen carefully.

Skin care centered on moisturizing can help soothe the skin, and if necessary, maintenance treatments provided by the clinic may also be considered.

Shinsa radiofrequency lifting Thermage FLX may be a good option for those who want to improve skin elasticity with relatively little burden through non-invasive lifting. However, rather than being a one-time procedure, periodic treatments may be necessary depending on skin condition, lifestyle habits, and the speed of aging.

Please improve the results by making decisions about the number of shots, treatment frequency, and other details through close consultation with a medical professional.
