Jamsil Lifting Dermatology Clinic | TenTherma Lifting Effects and Pain vs. Thermage

Hello. I am Jin-young Lim, the medical director of Piaf Clinic.

Doctor, I have been seeing TenTherma mentioned a lot lately.

Is it a lifting treatment similar to Thermage?

The effects seem promising, but is it very painful?

I frequently receive these questions during consultations for lifting treatments in Jamsil.

In particular, when skin elasticity begins to decline and the contours of the face start to look less defined than before, you may find yourself looking into radiofrequency lifting treatments such as Thermage and TenTherma.

However, when you look into them, it can be confusing to decide what to choose because, although they are similar radiofrequency lifting treatments, the equipment names and prices vary.

I have organized this information for those looking for a dermatology clinic near Jamsil for a lifting treatment.

If you are considering TenTherma lifting, learn about the effects and pain that people ask about most frequently, as well as the differences from Thermage, before you go.

TenTherma Lifting,

What effects can you expect?

TenTherma is a device that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to the skin and helps improve elasticity and tightening.

It uses the thermal energy generated while delivering energy to the skin to address reduced elasticity, fine lines, and the feeling of loose skin.

There is one point you should keep in mind here.

Not all signs of facial sagging can be addressed in the same way simply because a treatment is called “lifting.”

• Whether elasticity is the issue

• Whether the issue is the volume of fat or muscle

• Whether significant sagging has already progressed

This is because the necessary treatment may differ depending on these factors.

Therefore, rather than assuming, “It is a lifting device, so it will pull my face up dramatically,” I recommend first identifying which areas of your face you want to improve and learning about the treatment from there.

Isn’t it very painful because it uses radiofrequency?

This is another question I often receive before consultations for lifting treatments in Jamsil.

Because radiofrequency lifting delivers thermal energy to the skin, you may experience warmth or a stinging sensation during the procedure.

However, actual pain varies considerably from person to person depending on the condition of the skin, the treatment area, and the energy intensity.

TenTherma is also used with measures such as a cooling system to protect the skin during the procedure and reduce the burden of pain, but it cannot be stated definitively that it will be painless for everyone.

Therefore, during a consultation, rather than simply asking, “Is this device painless?” it is important to determine what treatment intensity is appropriate for your skin condition.

Then, between TenTherma and Thermage,

which one is better?

There is no definitive answer to this question.

Both devices have in common that they use radiofrequency energy, but they differ in their specific technologies, equipment characteristics, and treatment methods.

Therefore, it is difficult to say that “TenTherma is better than Thermage” or that “Thermage is always better.” Instead, it is best to choose based on the changes you want and your skin condition.

In particular, even if your skin has lost elasticity, there is no need to automatically choose the strongest treatment.

This is because the necessary energy and treatment method may vary depending on skin thickness, the degree of elasticity, the amount of fat, and the form of wrinkles and sagging.

Many people who visit Piaf Clinic request a consultation because they want to know precisely,

“What type of lifting

is right for my face?”

At Piaf Clinic, I, a board-certified plastic surgeon, personally conduct the consultation and examination. After assessing the current condition of your face and the areas you would like to improve, we decide on the appropriate treatment approach together.

Rather than automatically recommending

a strong lifting treatment or

a large number of shots,

we first determine

what treatment is currently needed.

This is what we consider most important during lifting consultations.

If you are looking for a dermatology clinic for lifting treatments in Jamsil, we recommend also checking whether the consultation process sufficiently assesses your skin condition and the areas you would like to improve.

Piaf Clinic will be with you throughout that process.

Thank you for reading this lengthy post.
