Hongdae Thermage and Thermage FLX: If You’re Looking for a Treatment That Suits You

Hongdae Thermage? Thermage FLX? If you’re looking into lifting treatments

These days, the temperature is dropping and the air is gradually becoming drier. In weather like this, skin care can only become more difficult.

That’s why many people are likely researching skin treatments with somewhat difficult names, such as Hongdae Thermage and Hongdae Thermage FLX.

"Now that I’m in my 40s, I feel like my skin has become more sensitive with these big temperature swings."

"As mornings and evenings have turned chilly, I can feel my skin elasticity dropping."

As the temperature difference grows larger in autumn, the skin concerns of people in their 40s are deepening as well. In particular, if you are considering a lifting treatment for the first time, you may feel confused by the many options available.

If you have searched for Hongdae Thermage, you may be wondering whether Thermage, with more than 10 years of proven data, or Thermage FLX, the latest device released in 2024, is more suitable for you. Today, I will objectively compare and analyze the two treatments.

Profile

Hello, I’m Director Jo Won-jin of Chai Clinic.

After performing various lifting procedures in Hongdae for 9 years, I am very familiar with the factors that people in their 40s consider most important when choosing a lifting treatment for the first time. Based on my experience as the first clinic in Mapo-gu to introduce Thermage FLX, I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of Thermage and Thermage FLX accurately.

Thermage is a proven radiofrequency lifting treatment with 15 years of accumulated data, while Thermage FLX is the latest device released in May 2024 that addresses the shortcomings of existing radiofrequency lifting treatments.

Hongdae Thermage? Hongdae Thermage FLX? The key is the basic principle

First, let’s compare the basic principles of the two treatments.

Thermage works by delivering radiofrequency energy below the dermis to cause collagen denaturation and then induce regeneration. Improvement develops gradually over 1 to 3 months after the procedure, creating a natural-looking change.

Thermage FLX uses two wavelengths, 6.78MHz and 2MHz, and can be adjusted to three depths: Shallow, Middle, and Deep. It is characterized by its ability to provide customized treatment for each area using four tips (EFFECTOR 05, 10, 40, and 60).

What advantages does this offer for skin in the 40s that has become sensitive due to temperature swings? Thermage provides predictable results based on long-term data, while Thermage FLX allows fine-tuned adjustments according to skin condition.

Thermage and Thermage FLX: What are the differences?

Now let’s take a closer look at the specific differences.

First, pain and treatment time.

Thermage requires 40 to 50 minutes for anesthetic cream application, and the total procedure time is about 90 minutes. In contrast, Thermage FLX is completed in 30 to 40 minutes without anesthesia thanks to its differentiated cooling system.

Second, energy delivery efficiency.

The EFFECTOR 60 tip of Thermage FLX covers an area 1.5 times larger than the Thermage Total Tip, so 600 shots with Thermage FLX provide a level of satisfaction comparable to 840 shots with Thermage.

Third, personalized options.

Hongdae Thermage offers stable results, while Thermage FLX can respond more precisely to the various skin concerns of people in their 40s through different depths and tip options.

Summary

So which treatment should you choose?

If you value proven data and stability, Thermage is suitable. With 15 years of data, the side-effect patterns are clear, and you can obtain predictable results.

If you want time efficiency, minimal pain, and clear satisfaction based on the latest device, consider Thermage FLX. It makes a quick "lunch break lifting" treatment possible for busy people in their 40s.

Above all, the important thing is that no two skin types in the world are the same. It is most important to accurately analyze each person’s skin condition, which has become sensitive due to temperature swings, and make a decision through consultation.

I hope this information is helpful for those looking into Hongdae Thermage, and I hope you make a wise choice through sufficient consultation.
