What You Need to Know to Restore Firmness

“Does Thermage really have a lifting effect?

How long does it last?”

When you look at yourself in the mirror and your reflection seems more blurred than before, or your jawline has started to sag, it’s natural to feel impatient.

But if you choose a procedure simply because you heard it “works well for lifting,” it can lead to disappointing results.

Today, we’ll explain Thermage in an easy-to-understand way, from how it works to its effects and what to watch out for.

How Thermage Works

Thermage is a procedure that regenerates collagen within the skin using radiofrequency energy.

The skin is made up of the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, and fascia (SMAS layer), and Thermage precisely targets the dermis among these layers.

Recently, Thermage FLX, an upgraded version of the original Thermage, has been widely used.

Thermage FLX creates a more even heat distribution than the previous generation, and its enhanced cooling function helps minimize damage to the epidermis.

While maintaining the dermal temperature at around 65 degrees Celsius, it contracts internal collagen fibers and promotes the production of new collagen.

Simply put, it is a process of “warming up” the skin from within to restore firmness.

At this time, the epidermis is cooled and safely protected.

The procedure covers the entire face with about 300 shots, and the intensity is finely adjusted by area, such as the jawline, cheeks, and eye area.

The heat sensation is only mildly warm, and as new collagen is generated over 2 to 3 months after the procedure, firmness gradually recovers.

You may often ask this question:

“What’s the difference between Thermage and Ulthera?”

In short, Ulthera is a lifting procedure that stimulates the SMAS layer with ultrasound, while Thermage stimulates the dermis with radiofrequency.

In other words, Thermage is strong in improving skin texture, firmness, and pores, while Ulthera is effective for lifting sagging lower facial areas.

Because the two procedures target different layers, combining them may provide a synergistic effect depending on the condition of the face.

Why Thermage Results Differ from Person to Person

The reason results differ even when the same device and the same number of shots are used is simple.

Everyone’s skin structure is different.

For people with thin skin and little sagging, the collagen response appears quickly,

but in cases with thicker skin or more fat in the layer below, heat transfer is weaker and the response is relatively slower.

That is why a 3D skin diagnostic device is used before the procedure to measure dermal thickness, fat distribution, and elasticity index.

Based on the data obtained this way, heat energy must be adjusted differently for each area to create a truly customized procedure.

For example, if a high intensity is used on someone with hollow cheeks, it may reduce volume even more; on the other hand, for someone with fat concentrated under the chin, stronger heat concentration is needed to make the contour more defined.

Another important point is whether genuine tips are used.

Thermage tips are single-use and are designed to be used only once.

Genuine tips are equipped with a cooling function, which allows heat to be delivered evenly and protects the skin surface,

but reused tips or non-genuine tips have weaker functionality, increasing the risk of burns or fat atrophy.

Therefore, before receiving the procedure, please ask whether genuine tips are used and whether the serial number can be checked before treatment.

How to Improve Results and Duration

The results of Thermage are most noticeable 2 to 3 months after the procedure rather than immediately afterward.

The reason is that newly generated collagen needs time to settle into the skin structure.

On average, the effect lasts about 6 months to 1 year, and if you consistently receive it about once a year, you can maintain firmness for a longer period through cumulative effects.

After the procedure, avoid excessive heat exposure such as saunas or steam rooms, and make sure to stay well hydrated and use sun protection to help the effect last longer.

Many people ask, “Does Thermage lift the skin right away?”

In fact, there may be a slight lifting effect immediately after the procedure, but the real change appears naturally from around 3 months later, when collagen is rearranged.

At that point, people around you often say things like, “Your face looks more refined” or “Your skin looks smoother.”

If you are considering Thermage in Hongdae, remember these three things:

1. Check for genuine tips and experienced medical staff.

(Safety comes first.)

2. Receive customized settings tailored to your skin structure. (Even with the same 300 shots, the results can differ.)

3. Aftercare is half of what maintains the result.

(Hydration and sun protection are essential.)

The path to regaining firmness is not difficult.

With the right Thermage procedure, a more youthful-looking contour is entirely possible.
