Summary of the Effects of Different Thermage Lifting Tips in Songpa

"I want lifting for the overall face,

but I’d like to give a little more emphasis to the eye area.

What should I get?"

When you want to improve the overall firmness of your face, you may consider lifting.

In addition to overall firmness, Thermage is often chosen when you want to put a little more emphasis on a specific area as well.

That is because the effectiveness differs depending on the tip used for each treatment area.

So today, while talking about Songpa Thermage lifting, I’ll also organize the effects by treatment tip.

Songpa Thermage Lifting

The Principle of Thermage

Thermage is a procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy.

Songpa Thermage FLX

It works by allowing radiofrequency current to flow between the electrode in the handpiece and the grounding plate (return pad) attached to the body. As this current passes through the skin tissue, heat is generated by resistance within the tissue.

This heat spreads evenly through the dermis, first contracting the existing old collagen.

After the heat stimulation, over time fibroblasts become activated, and new collagen and elastin are produced in the skin, which is the principle behind the recovery of firmness.

When delivering energy into the skin, the surface is cooled with a cooling system so that the epidermis does not become hot as well, which helps keep irritation and pain low.

When the Effects Appear

After receiving Thermage, you may feel a certain degree of skin tightening immediately afterward.

As mentioned earlier, this is caused by the immediate contraction of old collagen.

So it takes some time before the full effects appear, because the process of new collagen formation and remodeling is needed.

Generally, effects in skin firmness, skin texture improvement, and pore reduction usually begin to show 1 to 3 months after the procedure.

After that, as collagen production continues to become more active, the skin-tightening effect becomes even more noticeable.

Effects by Treatment Tip

Thermage has two main types of treatment tips. They can be used differently depending on the characteristics of the treatment area.

Let’s look at the Thermage FLX model, which was released after Thermage CPT.

• Total Tip — 4.0 cm², for the entire face

First, the Total Tip is mainly used on wide areas of the face such as the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck.

With an area of 4.0 cm², it is about 33% larger than the 3.0 cm² tip of the previous CPT model.

Because it covers a wider range each time energy is delivered, it is effective when energy needs to be applied evenly over a broad area.

So it is useful when the overall facial firmness has decreased, when contouring the face is needed, or when pore concerns are an issue.

• Eye Tip — 0.25 cm², for the eye area only

The Eye Tip is a tip designed exclusively for the eye area, with a size of 0.25 cm², which is one-sixteenth the size of the Total Tip.

Since the skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive area on the face, it can be difficult to approach delicately with the Total Tip, which covers a wider area.

Because it can deliver energy more precisely to a small area, it is effective when you are concerned about fine lines around the eyes, when the eyelid’s firmness has decreased, or when you want to improve sagging at the outer corners of the eyes.

If you want to improve overall facial firmness while also caring for sagging and fine lines around the eyes, the Total Tip and Eye Tip can also be used together.

Which combination is appropriate depends on your skin condition and the degree of firmness loss, so it is important to go through consultation and skin analysis carefully.

Today, while learning about Songpa Thermage lifting, we also looked at the effects of each treatment tip.

If you want to care for a broad area, the Total Tip is suitable, and if you need to treat a narrow, curved area such as around the eyes, the Eye Tip is appropriate.

Since you can see better results by applying what suits your skin and what you need, I hope you will carefully check whether your skin is thoroughly examined and analyzed before the procedure, and whether the appropriate care method is suggested for your concerns.
