How to Care for Sagging Skin with Reduced Elasticity: Cheongna Thermage

Cheongna Thermage for Skin with Reduced Elasticity

How to Care for Sagging Skin

You may be concerned by the way your appearance gradually changes whenever you look in the mirror as the years go by. In particular, when your cheeks or jawline no longer feel the same as before, or when the area around your eyes seems to sag or lose elasticity, it can also weigh on your mind.

Today, I would like to introduce one treatment option that many people with these concerns seek out. It uses high heat energy and may help bring about gradual changes from within.

You can think of it as a process that coolly protects the surface while delivering warm heat to the inner layers to support elasticity from within. Let’s take a look at how this method is performed, who it may be suitable for, and what to keep in mind.

1. How Does Cheongna Thermage Work?

This treatment is performed by delivering thermal energy to the area around the dermis along with cooling pulses that cool the surface. While the heat reaches deep into the inner layers, the outer surface is protected by cooling, allowing the inner tissue to respond to the stimulation while helping protect the skin.

The heat delivered in this way may help stimulate collagen structures and support the gradual development of elasticity over time. Compared with previous methods, the tip area is approximately 33 percent larger, increasing the coverage per application, and the overall treatment time is said to have been reduced by approximately 25 percent as a result.

A vibration function has also been added, which may help reduce sensations of heat or discomfort. Another feature is that there is a Total Tip for covering the entire face and a separate Eye Tip for small, delicate areas such as the eye area, allowing for a more precise approach according to the treatment area.

2. When Can You Expect to Notice the Results of Cheongna Thermage?

Rather than noticing changes immediately after treatment, you can generally expect gradual changes over time. In many cases, changes appear over the course of 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment.

Although this varies from person to person, after about the first month, you may feel that your skin texture is gradually becoming more refined, and around the third month, you may expect elasticity to become more noticeable. The timing may feel different for each person depending on their existing skin condition, age, and lifestyle, so please keep this in mind.

Since the tissues within the skin respond slowly as they form new structures, it is important to observe the process with some patience.

3. How Long Do the Effects of Cheongna Thermage Last, and What Is the Interval Between Treatments?

Although the period during which changes continue after a single treatment varies from person to person, it is generally known to last approximately 1 year to 1 year and 1 month on average. However, the duration may differ depending on the condition of the skin’s surface and the degree of elasticity in the inner tissue.

If sagging is pronounced or elasticity has significantly decreased, some people receive another treatment after about 6 months. This provides an additional stimulation during the process so that the inner structures can become sufficiently established. Follow-up treatments are often scheduled at intervals of 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months.

The interval may also be adjusted according to the individual’s condition. In addition, if you combine it with another method, such as a skin booster, you may be able to expect more comprehensive changes because each method works according to a different principle to replenish the inner layers. Please keep this in mind.

4. Who May Be Suited to Cheongna Thermage?

It may be considered when you experience the natural loss of elasticity that comes with age or feel that your cheeks or jawline have become less defined. In particular, for those concerned about small, thin areas such as the area around the eyes, or those who feel that drooping eyelids or numerous fine lines around the eyes make them look tired, a delicate approach using the Eye Tip may be helpful.

It may also be considered by those who feel that their pores or skin texture are rough, or that the surface overall appears slack. The Total Tip, which covers the entire face, can treat a broad area at once, making it an option for those who want to refine their overall facial contours.

5. Things to Keep in Mind After Cheongna Thermage Treatment

There are a few things you should pay attention to after treatment. First, avoid excessively stimulating or rubbing the treated areas. Washing your face and applying makeup are possible from the same day, but it is best to avoid products that scrape the surface, such as scrubs, for the time being.

It is recommended that you abstain from alcohol for about one week, and refraining from smoking during the same period may also be helpful. Hot environments such as saunas and public baths should also be avoided for about one week. Strenuous exercise should likewise be avoided for a similar period.

It is also essential to apply moisturizer and sunscreen thoroughly. This helps protect your overall skin tone and texture while supporting recovery, so following these points carefully may help you maintain the changes for longer.

Gradual changes in appearance over the years are natural, but anyone can wish to maintain a healthy and firm impression. Find an approach suited to you and take care of your skin gradually and consistently.
