'How effective is Thermage with 900 shots?

Does it hurt too much?

I honestly want to know what the side effects are.'

As the facial contour gradually sags, the jawline becomes less defined, and the overall impression looks tired, it becomes hard to decide on a procedure.

'Is it really effective like the reviews say?'

'They say it uses as many as 900 shots—will the pain be okay?'

'Are there any side effects?'

Especially if the procedure is expensive, it is only natural to worry more.

However, if you make your decision after understanding accurate information about Thermage 900 shots, you can reduce vague worries and unnecessary misunderstandings.

Recently, a well-known actress made headlines by saying she gets Thermage with 900 shots.

Today, based on Thermage FLX, an upgraded version of the existing Thermage, we will organize the effect, pain, and side effects of the 900-shot treatment all in one place.

Thermage 900 Shots Effect: Does firmness really improve?

Thermage is a procedure that maximizes lifting effects by using radiofrequency energy to regenerate collagen within the skin.

The existing Thermage is already effective, but in the upgraded Thermage FLX, the tip is larger, allowing a wider area to be treated at once.

Here, the number attached after it, “900 shots,” indicates how many times energy is delivered to the skin.

The larger the number, the more sufficiently energy can be delivered over a wider area, so people who want a strong lifting effect often choose 900 shots.

However, simply having more shots does not automatically mean better results.

To achieve more natural results, the energy distribution should be adjusted according to the skin thickness of the face, firmness, and the target area.

Rather than simply focusing on the number of shots, it is important to remember that what matters most is how the face is analyzed and how the treatment is planned.

Because Thermage uses radiofrequency heat, it can involve a certain amount of warmth and a prickling sensation.

In particular, since 900 shots means a longer treatment time, many people worry about pain.

Fortunately, Thermage FLX is much less painful than earlier versions.

Because the tip detects the skin temperature in real time and adjusts the heat, it is not a procedure you simply have to endure with burning discomfort like before.

Pain can also be reduced through sufficient cooling and the use of anesthetic cream before the procedure.

What is important here is that rather than using excessively high energy for the sake of results, the energy should be adjusted by considering each person’s skin condition and sensitivity to pain.

For that reason, it is also a good idea to find a place that carefully coordinates in advance, through thorough consultation before the procedure, how much energy will be focused on which areas.

Looking through various reviews, many people wonder whether something is a side effect and ask, 'Is this a side effect?'

Immediately after the procedure, temporary swelling or slight redness may appear.

This is a normal reaction that naturally occurs after the skin has been stimulated by heat.

In most cases, it usually subsides within a day or two.

For people with sensitive skin, redness may sometimes last a bit longer, but in many cases it gradually recovers.

However, if excessively high energy is used or the skin condition is not sufficiently considered, hollowing of the cheeks or severe dryness may occur.

Thermage 900-shot treatment requires a precise approach.

This is because skin-firming procedures cannot be determined entirely by simple numbers or intensity alone.

A higher number of shots may mean greater expected effects, but above all, the practitioner’s skill and a plan that considers facial balance and skin condition come first.

I hope you keep in mind that the most important thing is to understand the characteristics of your own face with a careful perspective and choose a place that approaches the treatment thoroughly.

Thank you. This was Jamsil You&I Clinic^^
