Jamsil XERF: How Is It Different from Thermage?

Jamsil XERF

Hello.

This is U&I Clinic Jamsil.

"I was looking into getting Thermage,

and I came across something called XERF.

What's the difference?"

This is a question we hear often

during lifting consultations these days.

When you look into it, you often see that Thermage uses one frequency,

while XERF uses dual frequencies.

People say they understand that there are two frequencies,

but find it difficult to know

what difference that makes

or who it is suitable for.

So today, I will explain step by step

how XERF's “two frequencies” differ from Thermage.

How is XERF different from Thermage?

Let's start by looking at what they have in common.

Jamsil XERF and Thermage comparison

Both XERF and Thermage

are devices that use the same method:

“monopolar radiofrequency.”

Radiofrequency works by sending alternating current

through the tissue.

When the direction of the electric field

reverses millions of times per second,

charged particles within the skin

change direction at the same rate.

As the tissue resists this movement,

heat is generated.

This heat reaches the dermal layer,

where collagen is densely concentrated.

The collagen contracts from the heat

and is subsequently newly produced,

resulting in improved elasticity.

How radiofrequency lifting works

The two devices work the same way up to this point.

The difference lies in the number of frequencies.

While Thermage uses a single frequency,

XERF simultaneously emits two frequencies:

6.78 MHz and 2 MHz.

So, let me continue by explaining

what the benefit of using two frequencies is.

2. Jamsil XERF

What is the benefit of having two frequencies?

There is one thing you should know here.

The lower the frequency of radiofrequency,

the deeper it penetrates into the tissue.

In other words, frequency and penetration depth

are inversely proportional.

Therefore, 6.78 MHz

creates concentrated heat in the upper dermis,

while 2 MHz delivers heat more broadly

down to the subcutaneous layer.

XERF can target multiple layers

Using only one frequency means focusing on one layer,

whereas using both together means

heating the superficial and deeper layers

at the same time.

There is a tissue examination

that confirmed this in practice.

A paper related to Jamsil XERF

After applying 6.78 and 2 MHz together

to pig skin and staining the tissue,

researchers observed that the collagen bundles

immediately became thicker and shorter.

This showed the tissue tightening

as the collagen contracted.

Changes after XERF treatment

What stood out even more

was the deeper area marked in red.

Not only the superficial fascial layer

but also the deep fascial layer became thicker,

and the fascia was also observed

being pulled upward.

The researchers explain that these changes

had not been reported with conventional

single-frequency devices.

3. Which is right for my sagging: XERF or Thermage?

After reading this far,

this question naturally remains.

The standard is not the name of the device,

but the depth at which your concern is located.

Jamsil Thermage

First, Thermage is a device

that focuses on heating the dermal layer

broadly and evenly

with a single frequency.

If your concerns are concentrated in the dermal layer,

such as rougher skin texture

or an increase in fine lines,

this approach may be sufficient.

Another advantage is that it is a device

that has been used clinically for a long time.

Jamsil Thermage

In contrast, as mentioned earlier,

XERF uses 6.78 MHz to heat the upper dermis

and 2 MHz to heat down to the subcutaneous layer

at separate depths.

If sagging begins in the deeper layers,

such as when the jawline becomes less defined

or the mid-cheek area descends,

a combination that reaches deeper layers

may be needed.

In reality, many people have

both superficial texture concerns

and deeper sagging.

For this combination type,

XERF may be suitable because it can heat

both layers together in a single treatment.

If you are looking into XERF in Jamsil,

please remember that “two frequencies” ultimately means

that the depth of heating can be divided.

This is because the combination differs

depending on whether your concern

is superficial texture or deeper sagging.

Please first identify

which layer of your skin is involved

before beginning treatment.
