Wondering About the Lifting Effects?

"If I get Thermage,

will my skin really become firmer?"

"How long does the effect last

after just one treatment?"

These are the questions people

who are considering Thermage ask most often.

Especially these days, there are so many

lifting devices available that people are most curious

about how effective it will be for their own skin.

Thermage is a well-known treatment

among lifting procedures.

However, even with the same device,

the results can vary depending on

your skin and how it is applied.

Today, I’ll explain Thermage in detail,

from how it works to what clinical studies

say about its effects.

How does Thermage work?

Thermage is a device that delivers

radiofrequency (RF) energy to the skin.

This energy applies uniform heat

to the dermis.

When heat is applied, the hydrogen bonds

in collagen molecules are broken,

causing the fibers to contract.

But that is not the end.

As the skin receives thermal stimulation,

it goes through a natural recovery process

and begins producing new collagen.

These two responses are the core

principles behind Thermage.

The biggest advantage of radiofrequency

is that the energy is not absorbed by melanin.

Unlike lasers, it can be applied regardless

of skin type, making it suitable for Asian skin as well.

It also does not damage the epidermis,

so recovery to daily life is relatively quick.

What do clinical studies say about its effects?

So, let’s look at how effective Thermage is

based on actual clinical papers.

This paper analyzed how effective

radiofrequency (RF) energy is

for photoaged skin.

The researchers examined changes in skin tissue

after treatment in people with mild to moderate wrinkles.

They looked at changes by separating collagen,

one of the factors that contributes to wrinkles,

into type I, type III, and newly synthesized collagen.

Collagen type I increased significantly

from 65.8% to 81.2%,

and collagen type III increased significantly

from 60.9% to 73.6%.

Newly synthesized collagen also increased

from 15.3% to 26.9%,

showing that the skin structure actually improved.

Let’s also take a look at the before-and-after

comparison of a study participant.

Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles

were visibly reduced.

In particular, even after the procedure ended,

the effect continued, and further improvement

was confirmed after 3 months.

  1. How should you care for your skin after the procedure?

Thermage is a non-invasive procedure,

so recovery to daily life is relatively quick.

However, proper aftercare is important

if you want the best results.

The most important thing is

sun protection.

If you are exposed to UV rays during the period

when collagen regeneration is actively taking place,

pigmentation or inflammatory reactions may occur.

When going बाहर, be sure to apply sunscreen

carefully and use a hat or parasol.

It is also important not to give the skin

excessive stimulation right after the procedure.

Saunas, jjimjilbangs, and strenuous exercise

can expose the skin to excessive heat,

so it is best to avoid them for about a week.

Do not skip moisturizing care either.

The skin in recovery can easily become dry.

Adequate moisturizing helps protect

the skin barrier and supports recovery.

Lastly, please avoid strong massage

or exfoliation.

While the skin is settling down,

physical stimulation can interfere with

the collagen regeneration process.

Today, we talked about the lifting principle

of Shinchon Thermage and how much effect

you can actually expect.

The effects of Thermage appear gradually

from right after the procedure through 2 to 3 months.

So you need to wait until the treatment effect

has fully shown itself.

Also, in the research, the treatment was not

performed on people with severe wrinkles,

but rather on people with early wrinkles

or wrinkles that were not too deep.

If skin sagging is severe and wrinkles are deeply set,

it may be difficult to see results with Thermage alone.

Please make your decision after carefully

consulting about the depth of your wrinkles

and the degree of sagging.
