What Skin Types Is Jamsil Thermage Effective For?

"I don’t have much fat on my face,

so I’m worried my cheeks will hollow out if I get lifting.

But my pores are getting larger,

and my skin texture isn’t good either, so I do need lifting...

What would suit me best?"

People with thin skin or insufficient overall facial volume often hesitate because they worry that strong lifting treatments may cause side effects such as sunken cheeks.

Getting a lifting treatment does not necessarily mean side effects will occur; rather, the issue often comes from not knowing what suits you best.

So today, let’s take a detailed look at Thermage, one of the most representative lifting treatments, covering its principles, effects, who it is suitable for, and what to watch out for after the procedure.

Thermage Principles and Effects

Thermage is a lifting procedure that uses radiofrequency energy.

It does not affect the surface of the skin, but delivers energy as it penetrates into the dermal layer.

The heat stimulates the skin tissue, and during the healing process of that damage, collagen is regenerated and firmness is restored.

It can help improve elasticity, skin texture, and fine lines, but the effects are not felt immediately and instead become noticeable over time.

You may feel a slight tightening right after the treatment, but it does not dramatically change the moment you receive it. Rather, the effect appears as collagen regenerates over about 1 to 2 months.

In general, people begin to feel that the skin has become slightly lifted after about 2 weeks to 1 month, and the point at which they feel a major difference is around 2 to 3 months later.

How long the effect lasts depends on skin condition and care, but it is usually maintained for about 6 months to 1 year. So, considering the maintenance period, it is good to receive it about once or twice a year.

In addition, Thermage FLX, a 4th-generation device upgraded from Thermage, is commonly used these days.

The tip size is 33% larger than before, which shortens the procedure time by about 25%.

An automatic tuning function has also been added, which automatically checks the skin condition with each shot and adjusts the energy level.

With omnidirectional vibration and cooling functions, pain during the procedure has also been greatly reduced.

So people who have had the previous model often say that after switching to Thermage FLX, the treatment felt much more comfortable.

Who is it suitable for?

Then let’s look at what types of people Thermage is well suited for.

First, because Thermage targets the dermal layer, which is closer to the skin surface than the fat layer, even people with thin skin or little facial fat can receive it with less worry about side effects such as sunken cheeks.

• People in their 40s to 50s who are concerned about reduced elasticity and enlarged pores

Thermage is a good fit if your skin does not so much sag as it simply feels less elastic overall and your pores seem enlarged.

It also helps improve pores by densely rebuilding collagen in the dermal layer.

• People who want natural-looking changes

If you want skin that looks naturally improved without it being obvious that you had a procedure, Thermage is effective.

Because collagen regeneration happens slowly, the changes appear gradually, and since your own skin’s collagen and elastin increase, the result looks natural.

• People concerned about fine lines across the face

It is effective for fine lines that appear across the face or around the eyes and mouth, the so-called "fine lines."

It is especially strong for improving subtle surface wrinkles rather than deeply etched wrinkles.

• People in their 20s to 30s pursuing slow aging

It is also a good fit for people in their 20s and 30s who do not yet have severe wrinkles or sagging but want to take preventive care.

Because the treatment energy can be adjusted so that it does not burden the skin, care can be provided without being too irritating.

Post-treatment precautions

If you follow just a few things, you can better maintain the lifting effect you worked hard to get.

First, because excessive blood circulation can cause swelling or delay recovery, please avoid alcohol and smoking for about a week.

Also, please refrain from activities such as saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for one week, as these can raise the skin temperature too much.

Applying heat again to skin that has already received enough heat from radiofrequency is not good.

And because the skin may become dry after the procedure, please apply moisturizer more diligently than usual, and since your skin becomes more vulnerable to UV rays during this period, you should also apply sunscreen carefully.

Even on cloudy days or indoors, UV rays can still get inside, so you should still use sunscreen.

It is also very good to provide physical protection with a hat or sunglasses.

Today, we took a detailed look at the principles and effects of Jamsil Thermage, the types of people it suits, and how to care for yourself after the procedure.

Thermage can be received relatively safely even by people with thin skin or little facial fat who are worried about sunken cheeks, and it is a treatment that suits a wide range of people from their 20s to their 50s who need appropriate elasticity care.

That is why many people receive it together with friends, with mothers and daughters, or in groups at gatherings.

However, with Thermage, even the same device can produce different results depending on who performs the procedure and how it is done.

The precision of the energy settings, the know-how in shot placement, and the adjustment of intensity according to skin thickness all depend greatly on experience.

So rather than choosing based only on price or reviews, you should carefully consult and see whether they properly diagnose your skin and create a procedure design and plan that suits you. That will help you judge whether they have enough experience.

I hope today’s article helped you with your decision, even if only a little, and I will wrap up here.
