Understand the Effects of Yeongdeungpo Thermage Properly Before Getting It

“Celebrities get Thermage a lot..

Does it really work?”

When looking into lifting procedures, Thermage is always part of the conversation. It is also one of the procedures most often mentioned by celebrities.

There are many reviews saying that Thermage “changes the face with just one session” and “firmness improves right away,” but among those who have actually had it, there are also many comments like, “I honestly don’t notice much.”

Why does such a difference happen with the same device?

Today, let’s talk about the principles of Thermage, how its real effects are created, and the key points you should know before getting the procedure.

Yeongdeungpo Thermage principle

Thermage is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) lifting device.

This energy concentrates heat in the dermis layer of the skin, causing existing collagen fibers to instantly contract and inducing new collagen production.

Simply put, it is a high-heat stimulation treatment that slightly contracts and rearranges collagen in the skin.

During this process, cooling operates simultaneously on the skin surface,

allowing only the deeper layer to be selectively stimulated without the risk of burns.

In other words, the epidermis is protected with cooling, while the dermis is heated and stimulated. This is why Thermage is said to enable lifting without surface damage.

Another characteristic of Thermage is that it uses “monopolar radiofrequency.”

Because the RF energy passes through the skin and spreads deeply toward the lower pad, the lifting effect extends deeply and broadly.

Yeongdeungpo Thermage Why the effects differ

Even with the same Thermage treatment, the reason the results differ is due to differences in the “settings” and the “tip.”

The latest version, Thermage FLX, has a larger tip area than the previous CPT version and controls energy distribution much more evenly.

In other words, because heat is delivered evenly over a wider area with each shot, efficiency has improved and pain has been reduced.

However, to achieve these results properly, using an original tip is of utmost importance.

Original tips have built-in pressure and temperature sensors that detect skin resistance in real time during treatment and adjust the energy accordingly.

If a non-original or reused tip is used, heat is not delivered consistently, which can weaken the effect or, conversely, create a risk of burns.

In addition, Thermage requires the practitioner to finely adjust energy intensity, tip pressure, number of passes, and treatment speed according to the facial structure.

Let’s talk about skin conditions as an example.

If there is a lot of cheek fat and sagging

→ higher energy, more passes

If the face is thin and has good elasticity

→ lower energy, wider spacing

If these adjustments are not made properly, the effect of Thermage may be limited.

Yeongdeungpo Thermage When do the effects start?

Many people wonder when the effects begin to appear. With Thermage, long-term effects are more noticeable than immediate ones.

Right after the procedure

As the collagen in the dermis contracts, you may feel the skin become slightly tighter and firmer.

Some people immediately notice a more defined jawline and a more refined eye area and cheeks, but the change is still not very large.

After 2 to 3 months

As new collagen is produced, skin texture and density improve. Sunken areas gain volume, and sagging areas are naturally tightened.

The effect usually lasts about 6 to 12 months, and in people whose collagen remodeling is active, it may last more than a year.

However, because Thermage is a procedure that utilizes the skin’s natural collagen regeneration cycle, you should not expect an explosive improvement in firmness within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment.

The gradual, natural improvement in firmness is the true characteristic of Thermage.

If you are considering Yeongdeungpo Thermage lifting, you should understand what kind of effect it provides before getting it.

That’s because you need to know how the effect appears and when it begins in order to judge whether it matches the lifting result you want.

I hope this information was helpful for those looking into Thermage lifting.
