Advantages and Treatment Process of Thermage Laser at Imi-seok Dermatology

What is Thermage Laser?

Thermage laser is a radiofrequency lifting device that helps improve skin elasticity, and at Imi-seok Theme Dermatology, we use New Thermage CPT, the latest upgraded version of the existing Thermage laser device.

As people age, collagen in the skin gradually breaks down, and the skin becomes loose and wrinkles appear. When radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the skin using Thermage, heat is generated in the skin, causing skin tissues including collagen to contract. At the same time, it induces collagen regeneration, helping create firmer skin.

Areas Treated with Thermage Laser

Thermage laser is most often used to improve facial elasticity. It is performed on areas that tend to lose firmness due to aging, such as nasolabial folds, the jawline, double chin, and neck wrinkles.

It is also effective for acne-prone skin. Skin that frequently develops acne often naturally has enlarged pores. In this case, Thermage helps restore skin elasticity through collagen production, which also helps tighten pores in acne-prone skin.

In addition, it can be performed on the body when elasticity improvement is needed. It targets areas that can easily gain fat and sag, such as the upper arms, abdomen, and thighs.

Advantages and Features of Thermage

Thermage helps revive skin elasticity and improve wrinkles by inducing the production of new collagen in the dermis layer without incisions.

Thermage laser delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to restore elasticity and maximize lifting effects. In the case of New Thermage CPT, the tip size is larger than that of the existing Thermage. With the upgrade, thermal energy is delivered more deeply and treatment time has been shortened.

Thermage recovers quickly enough that even office workers can undergo the procedure without much burden, and makeup and face washing are possible after the treatment. It is also not very irritating, to the point that even sensitive skin can be treated, so it can be performed on most skin types. During the procedure, the laser tip automatically applies stimulation to the skin to achieve the optimal effect, making it relatively safe, and with the introduction of a vibrating handpiece, there is almost no pain during the procedure.

Because the treatment is tailored to your skin, its lasting effect is also high. In general, lifting effects gradually increase starting 2 to 3 months after the day of treatment and last semi-permanently for more than a year. Some people worry about side effects such as scabbing or redness after treatment. Thermage has a low probability of side effects to the extent that no special aftercare is needed. This is because the cooling device protects the epidermis.

Thermage Treatment Process

Thermage treatment is very simple. First, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the skin and you wait for about an hour. After that, the procedure is performed for about 20 to 40 minutes using New Thermage CPT.

Since heat reaches the dermis layer immediately after treatment and collagen denaturation begins right away, it is highly satisfying for those who want noticeable results.

Also, the treatment does not interfere with daily life to the extent that other people will not notice it after the procedure.

If you want to quickly restore skin elasticity in a simple, 부담less way, please consider treatment after a thorough consultation with a board-certified dermatologist at Imi-seok Dermatology in Sinsa.
