There are cases where people say their skin pores became smaller after receiving Thermage.

There is a reason why Thermage, known as a lifting procedure, also works on skin texture and pore improvement.

If you went in to address sagging but felt that your overall skin looked more refined,

that is connected to how RF radiofrequency energy acts in the dermis.

Lifting and skin texture improvement do not happen separately. This is because both changes occur together in the process of stimulating the dermis. This is why Thermage is not classified as just a simple lifting procedure.

The structure behind enlarged pores

When the sebaceous glands become larger, the surrounding tissue naturally loses support and slackens. In particular, as collagen in the dermis decreases with age, the support that used to hold pores tightly begins to weaken, making the pores look more prominent.

If even thorough cleansing and skincare products do not make a difference, structural changes in the dermis have already begun. Collagen loss is difficult to keep up with using cosmetics alone, and Thermage’s RF (radiofrequency) energy targets exactly this point. It delivers heat deep into the dermis rather than the skin surface, promoting collagen regeneration and affecting the sebaceous glands, with the principle of tightening loosened tissue again more densely.

What changes after a Thermage procedure

During the procedure, you feel a warm sensation. Because vibration-based Comfort Pulse Technology works at the same time and disperses the heat, it does not lead to strong pain. Temporary redness may appear immediately after the procedure, but in most cases it subsides within the same day. You can wash your face and apply makeup on the same day without scabbing or swelling, and returning to daily life is not difficult.

The lifting effect begins to be felt immediately after the procedure, and full collagen regeneration takes place over 2 to 3 months after the procedure. The feeling of smoother skin texture appears gradually in line with this process. As sagging is improved and the surrounding tissue is also pulled along, the change in surface texture is felt together with the lifting effect. Several weeks after the procedure, many people first notice that makeup adheres more closely to the skin.

When you are concerned about both firmness and skin texture at the same time

If you have been managing the surface with skincare but the elasticity of the dermis has started to decline, there are limits to a surface-only approach. Thermage is considered in the following situations.

| When the whole face looks rough because the pores have widened When you want skin texture to improve together with lifting after the procedure When you need to return to daily life quickly after the procedure When you want care without scabs or flaking |

If you try to address firmness and skin texture separately when both are concerns, the number of procedures increases. Thermage is an option in these situations because one form of dermal stimulation can bring about both changes at the same time.

If the pores in the center of the cheeks stand out especially clearly, or if the skin around the nose feels rougher than before, the decline in dermal elasticity may be progressing at the same time. Since the energy output and number of sessions vary depending on skin thickness and the degree of elasticity loss, it is important to check the skin condition first.

Sometimes people think pore care has to be done separately. Thermage is not a procedure only for lifting. If your skin texture is not smooth even after applying moisturizer, or if makeup keeps looking cakey, it may be time to check for changes in the dermis.

The speed at which elasticity decreases varies depending on skin thickness and living environment, so the dermis condition can differ even at the same age. Since the number of sessions and intervals vary depending on the skin condition, it is important to make a plan through consultation first.
