[Lee Yudeuk, Dermatology Specialist]
Hello,
a place that creates a comfortable face
rather than an excessive change.
This is Leezyham Dermatology.
Do you feel weighed down by skin that no longer looks the way it used to every time you look in the mirror? Many people in their 40s and older worry about sagging cheeks and a blurred jawline.
A lot of people say things like, “I keep hearing that I look tired these days,” “I find myself worrying about my angle when taking photos,” or “Compared to old photos, I can definitely see a difference,” and feel upset about it. These are natural changes that come with age, but everyone still wants to look a little younger. If you look into lifting methods, there are so many kinds that it can feel overwhelming to choose one. Today, let’s take a closer look at Thermage near Sinnonhyeon Station.
A beauty consultation that makes a difference
I am dermatologist Lee Yudeuk.
"Collagen determines skin elasticity"
To understand skin elasticity,
you first need to know the structure.
Our skin consists of the epidermis,
dermis, and subcutaneous fat layer,
and among these, the dermis contains
protein fibers called collagen and elastin
woven together densely like a net.
It plays a role in firmly supporting
the skin, much like the reinforced steel
structure that holds up a building.
But as we age,
these collagen fibers gradually become
looser and their amount decreases.
It is known to decrease by about
1% per year starting in the late 20s,
and by the time you reach your 40s,
it can be reduced to about half of what
it was in your 20s.
Exposure to ultraviolet rays, stress,
and lack of sleep are also factors that
accelerate collagen loss.
When collagen becomes insufficient
the skin can no longer resist gravity
and begins to sag downward.

How radiofrequency energy works
Thermage near Sinnonhyeon Station
is a lifting method that uses
radiofrequency energy.
Radiofrequency has the characteristic
of passing through the skin surface
and delivering heat deep into the dermis.
Its key feature is that it can reduce
effects on the skin surface while still
giving sufficient thermal stimulation
inside.
The heat delivered to the dermis can
stimulate collagen fibers and induce
two changes.
The first is an immediate contraction
response.
As the collagen fibers heated by the
energy contract momentarily,
you can expect a tightening effect that
pulls the skin tighter.
The second is a long-term collagen
production process.
Skin that has received thermal
stimulation begins a natural healing
response to repair damaged areas,
and new collagen can be created during
this process.
Over 2 to 3 months after the procedure,
collagen production may gradually
become more active, leading to positive
changes in elasticity.
However, the results vary depending on
the individual's skin condition, age,
lifestyle, and other factors.


The importance of personalized treatment
The most important part of Thermage
near Sinnonhyeon Station is an accurate
diagnosis and personalized energy
settings.
Even if people are the same age, skin
thickness, elasticity, and sensitivity
all differ.
If strong energy is applied to someone
with thin and sensitive skin, discomfort
can be significant. On the other hand,
if weak energy is used for someone with
thick skin and pronounced sagging, it may
be difficult to achieve the expected
change.
After carefully checking the skin
condition of the person who visits,
the most suitable energy level is set.
Even during the procedure, the skin's
response is checked in real time and the
depth and intensity of the energy are
adjusted.
For sensitive areas such as around the
eyes and mouth, the energy is lowered,
while for areas with more sagging, such
as the cheeks and jawline, enough energy
is delivered.
For the full face, it takes about 1 hour
to 1 hour and 30 minutes, and a warm
sensation may be felt during the
procedure.

Procedure and precautions
On the day of the procedure, gentle
washing and makeup are possible, but
heavy makeup or strong rubbing should
be avoided.
Temporary swelling or redness may
appear, but in most cases it can subside
within 1 to 3 days.
However, depending on the individual,
swelling may last longer, so if you have
an important schedule, it is best to
consider that in advance.
For about 1 week after the procedure,
please avoid high-temperature
environments such as saunas, jjimjilbang,
and half-body baths.
Excessive heat exposure can place a
burden on the skin.
It is also helpful for recovery to avoid
strenuous exercise for about a week.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated
area strongly, and it is also best to
refrain from alcohol and smoking for one
week.
By following these precautions well,
your skin can recover stably and you can
expect good results.

The importance of aftercare
Aftercare has a big impact on the
results.
Above all, sun protection is important.
Since ultraviolet rays are a major cause
of collagen breakdown, apply sunscreen
with SPF 50 or higher carefully even
indoors.
Reapplying every 2 to 3 hours is ideal,
and using a hat or parasol when going
out is even better.
Getting enough hydration is also
important.
Drinking at least 1.5 to 2 liters of
water a day can help skin cells
regenerate.
Apply moisturizer sufficiently morning
and evening to keep the skin from
drying out.
Eating foods rich in antioxidants such
as vitamin C, vitamin E, and omega-3 may
also help collagen production.
In general, after Thermage near
Sinnonhyeon Station, gradual changes may
appear over 2 to 3 months, and you may
experience refinement of the jawline and
changes in the cheek area.
Rather than changing all at once, it is a
process of gradual change, so people
around you can also naturally notice it.
However, results vary from person to
person, so it is important to set
reasonable expectations.

Ongoing care and repeat treatment
There is something I always tell people
who are considering lifting.
That consistent care is more important
than a single dramatic change.
Although results vary by individual, they
generally can last about 6 months to 1
year.
To maintain the effects for a longer
period, it helps to combine regular
repeat treatments with daily care.
