Yeongdeungpo Station Thermage Dermatology Treatment: Can Pain Be Reduced Without Sleep Anesthesia?

Yeongdeungpo Station Thermage Dermatology Treatment,

Can pain be reduced without sleep anesthesia?

'I want to get Thermage...

Can I endure it without sleep anesthesia?'

Just as much as the expectation for lifting effects, the worry and fear of pain often come right after.

So you may wonder whether you must absolutely undergo sleep anesthesia, like the famous detective from the anime Conan.

In the past, it was known as a treatment with quite a bit of pain, but recently, thanks to improvements in the device itself, there are now ways to reduce pain without necessarily falling asleep(?)

So today, let's look together at how pain during Thermage treatment can be reduced through technology.

Yeongdeungpo Station Thermage Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) The principles and effects of Thermage treatment

Thermage is a treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to the dermis layer to generate heat inside the skin.

As our body self-heals from the damage caused by this heat, new collagen is produced and a skin-tightening effect appears.

An important concept here is the principle called "inverse heat sensitization rate."

Even though it sounds difficult, to put it simply, it means that heat is selectively delivered only to the dermis beneath the skin, skipping the skin surface.

So there is less concern about damage to the skin surface, and instead it is better to keep only the heat sensation inside the skin without exposing it to sudden temperature changes.

Because time is needed for collagen regeneration, you can begin to feel the effects at least 2 to 3 weeks after treatment.

If you receive it without any other measures, honestly, it hurts quite a bit.

The sensation felt when the energy is delivered varies from person to person, but in general, many people describe it as "tingly" or "stinging."

As heat is delivered deep into the skin, the pain nerves in that area are stimulated, causing pain.

In particular, the face has different nerve distributions by area, so sensitive areas such as around the eyes or the forehead may feel relatively more sensitive.

Now let's look at how pain during Thermage treatment can be reduced.

The 4th-generation Thermage device is Thermage FLX, which is a device that has made major advances in terms of pain compared to earlier models.

So based on Thermage FLX, I will explain specifically which features can reduce pain.

However, if you receive treatment with an earlier Thermage model, the information below may not apply, so please keep that in mind.

• Pulse RF - Delivered in short intervals

Rather than continuously emitting radiofrequency energy in one long stream, it is delivered in short pulse intervals.

If a large amount of energy is delivered at once, the burden on the skin can increase accordingly.

On the other hand, when it is divided and delivered in short bursts like this, enough heat can still build up in the dermis while the skin gets brief moments to rest between those short intervals.

• Cooling Burst - Protecting the epidermis with instant cooling

The cooling function works right before and right after the energy is delivered.

It works by momentarily cooling the epidermis to reduce the stimulation caused by the treatment.

At the same time, it can make side effects such as blisters or burns safer.

With these two functions working together, the necessary heat can be delivered precisely to the dermis while minimizing pain and damage.

Next, another way technology can reduce pain is the 360-degree directional vibration function.

This is easier to understand if you think of a principle we experience in everyday life.

When we hit our arm hard, we instinctively rub the area firmly.

Then the pain feels counterbalanced, and we can feel that the pain is reduced to some extent.

Thermage is similar in that the treatment tip vibrates subtly in all 360 directions.

As this vibration stimulus works, it helps prevent the treatment pain from being felt.

In this way, it can be said that pain is reduced through a physical method rather than through medication.

Today, for those looking into Yeongdeungpo Station Thermage Dermatology (Department: Dermatology), I explained how pain can be reduced through device functions.

No matter how good Thermage FLX's features are, it is ultimately a device handled by people.

That is why it is important to choose a place that can properly understand and delicately apply these technologies.

It would be good to receive treatment at a place where you can discuss and adjust the treatment intensity and pain, reducing the burden while improving the results.
