[Dermatologist Lee Yudeuk]

Hello,

A place that creates a comfortable face, rather than excessive change.

This is Ezham Dermatology Clinic.

Have you been looking in the mirror lately and thinking, “My skin isn’t as firm as it used to be”? You probably sigh every time you see deeper wrinkles when you smile, or a jawline that seems to be sagging heavily. You may have heard people around you say Thermage CPT is good, but you might still be wondering, ‘Is it right for me too?’ and ‘Will it really work?’ Today, I’d like to talk about Thermage CPT through the story of a patient I met in my clinic.

A beauty consultation that becomes a benefit

I am dermatologist Lee Yudeuk.

Check Whether It’s Right for Me

A few days ago, a patient in her early 50s came to the clinic.

She was neatly dressed and had a calm impression, but her expression showed signs of long-standing concern.

As the consultation began, the patient carefully opened up.

“Doctor, actually, for several years now, I’ve been able to see my skin sagging.

In particular, my jawline has become blurry, and my cheeks seem to have dropped downward.

But plastic surgery feels burdensome... I heard Thermage CPT is supposed to be good, so I’m looking into it, but will it work at my age? And honestly, I don’t even know exactly what it is.”

As I listened to the patient’s concerns, I nodded. This kind of confusion is completely natural.

We live in an age overflowing with information. People hear a lot about Thermage, but many still do not know whether it suits their skin or what principle produces the effect.

The patient continued,

“A friend said her skin got really better after Thermage, but I’m older and my skin sagging is pretty severe, too. I don’t know whether it would work for me. And I’m not really sure what CPT is, either.”

What exactly is Thermage CPT?

Before answering the patient’s question, I first explained step by step what Thermage CPT is.

Thermage CPT is a lifting device that uses radiofrequency energy. Here, CPT is a version with an added vibration function, which greatly reduces pain compared to the original Thermage.

“Doctor, then how does it work on the skin?” To the patient’s question, I explained it like this:

“In the dermis layer of our skin, there are protein fibers called collagen. These help maintain the skin’s elasticity, but as we age, they gradually loosen and decrease in amount.

Thermage CPT delivers heat deep into the skin using radiofrequency energy, causing this loosened collagen to contract and tighten again.”

The radiofrequency energy of Thermage CPT penetrates deep into the dermis and generates heat of about 65 degrees Celsius.

This heat causes the collagen fibers to contract immediately, creating a tightening effect, and at the same time it induces a wound-healing response, stimulating the skin to produce new collagen on its own.

So you can experience both the immediate effect right after the procedure and the gradual improvement that develops over time.

Who is Thermage CPT effective for?

After carefully examining the patient’s skin, I found overall reduced skin elasticity, a blurry jawline, and sagging cheeks.

When I touched the skin, it felt as though the firmness it once had had largely disappeared.

This is exactly the kind of case in which Thermage CPT is effective at a Gangnam Thermage Dermatology Clinic.

“In your case, Thermage CPT seems like a very good fit. As you can see, the main issues are reduced elasticity across the skin and loss of facial definition.

In situations like this, tightening the entire face with Thermage CPT can help restore the facial contour and improve skin texture as well.”

Thermage CPT is especially effective for the following cases: First, people whose skin elasticity has declined and who feel a sagging appearance.

Second, people whose jawline and facial outline have become blurry.

Third, people whose skin texture has become rough and whose pores have enlarged.

Fourth, people whose nasolabial folds or lines around the mouth have deepened.

Fifth, people who are also concerned about neck wrinkles or sagging in the neck.

“But doctor, I’m in my early 50s. Can I still expect to see results?” “Of course. Thermage CPT can be effective even in your 50s.

In fact, your 50s are a time when collagen regeneration ability is still present while aging is progressing in earnest, so it is a time when active care is needed.

However, if sagging has progressed significantly, it may be more effective to plan multiple sessions rather than just one, or to combine it with other care.”

What I want to tell you

What I feel while meeting so many people in the clinic is that every skin is truly different.

Even if people seem to have the same age and similar concerns, skin thickness, elasticity, lifestyle, and desired results are all different.

So Thermage CPT, which worked well for someone else, may not necessarily be the right choice for me.

When looking for a Gangnam Thermage Dermatology Clinic, the most important thing is to check whether Thermage CPT is right for your skin.

Thermage CPT is certainly an excellent procedure for improving skin elasticity, but it may not be the best choice for everyone.

You should make your decision by comprehensively considering the degree of sagging, the state of elasticity, age, and the results you hope to achieve.
