Let’s Address Double Chin Fat Removal with Thermage

[Reason-Deuk Dermatology Specialist]

Hello,

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

This is Lee Jiham Dermatology Clinic.

When did my face in the mirror start to look like this?

Today, through the story of a patient I recently met in the clinic, I’d like to talk about double chin fat removal clinics, which many people worry about. Not long ago, a office worker in their late 30s came into the consultation room.

“Doctor, I’m so concerned about my jawline every time I look in the mirror. Even when I take photos, I keep changing the angle, and I feel like my confidence is gradually dropping,” they said, sharing their concerns cautiously. They said that even though their weight had not increased much, the fat under the chin had grown, and their side profile no longer looked the same, which was their biggest source of stress.

"Why does a double chin appear?"

The causes of a double chin are not simply weight gain.

As we age, collagen and elastin, which help maintain skin elasticity, naturally decrease, causing the skin under the chin to sag.

Just as a rubber band stretches with repeated use, our skin also loses elasticity over time.

In addition, spending long hours looking at a smartphone or using a computer with poor posture can weaken the muscles around the neck and jaw and create a state in which fat is more likely to accumulate.

Also, due to genetic factors or skeletal structure, if the chin is short or set back, a double chin can appear more prominent.

In this way, a double chin can be said to arise from multiple factors such as decreased skin elasticity, fat accumulation, and skeletal structure.

What is Thermage and how does it work?

For many people looking for a double chin fat removal clinic, the most curious treatment is Thermage.

Thermage is a lifting method that uses radiofrequency energy. By delivering heat into the deeper dermal layer of the skin, it can induce collagen remodeling and help with skin tightening.

In simple terms, just as ironing a stretched sweater helps it shrink back, Thermage’s thermal energy contracts the stretched skin tissue and promotes the production of new collagen.

At Lee Jiham Dermatology Clinic, we use Thermage equipment, and this device allows precise temperature control and even energy delivery.

It has gained a lot of attention because it is a method that can help bring changes to the jawline without using a scalpel.

How is Thermage performed?

Let’s take a closer look at the Thermage process.

First, the patient’s skin condition and degree of sagging are carefully diagnosed.

Since each person visiting a double chin fat removal clinic has different skin thickness, fat accumulation, and level of elasticity loss, a personalized plan is most important.

On the day of treatment, a numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort, and we wait until it is sufficiently absorbed.

After that, radiofrequency energy is delivered along the under-chin and neck line, and during this process, you may feel warmth and a slight stinging sensation.

However, for most patients, it is at a tolerable level, and the procedure takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

A notable point is that you can return to daily life immediately afterward.

Washing the face and applying makeup are possible from the same day, and even if there is slight swelling or redness, it tends to subside naturally within 1 to 3 days.

When do Thermage changes appear?

One of the most common questions people have is when changes appear.

With Thermage, you may feel some tightening immediately afterward, but the main changes tend to appear between 4 and 12 weeks.

This is because the collagen within the skin needs time to reorganize.

Just as planting a seed and growing a tree takes time, the process of new collagen being created inside the body and the skin tissue being reorganized happens gradually.

Usually, you can experience sufficient changes after 2 to 3 months, and although this varies from person to person, the effects generally last about 6 months to 1 year.

Rather than dramatic change, a natural, gradual change is a characteristic of Thermage.

What other methods and care can be combined with Thermage?

Along with Thermage, you may also consider combining it with ultrasound lifting or skin boosters.

Ultrasound lifting helps by delivering energy to deeper layers to lift sagging, and skin boosters supply moisture and nutrients to the skin, making the skin texture smoother.

However, receiving every possible treatment is not always better.

The philosophy of Lee Jiham Dermatology Clinic is to create a "comfortable face rather than excessive change."

We believe that the most important thing is to provide honest diagnosis and proven methods that fit each person’s skin condition and concerns.

To maintain the results of double chin fat removal for a long time, aftercare is also very important.

For one week, it is best to avoid saunas, jjimjilbangs, and excessive exercise.

This is because the skin that has received thermal energy needs time to stabilize.

Sun protection must be thorough, and applying sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher frequently helps protect the skin and supports collagen remodeling.

Adequate hydration is also important.

Drinking about 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day can help the skin remodeling process proceed more smoothly.

Moisturizing care is also helpful.

Please use a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin barrier healthy.

Above all, be careful not to bend your head too far forward when looking at your smartphone, and maintaining proper posture is the key to making the results last longer.

A journey toward natural beauty

Skin care is not simply a process, but a journey of cultivating beauty.

What I would like to say to many people searching for a double chin fat removal clinic is that pursuing naturalness without overdoing it is important.

Rather than rapid change, gradual and healthy change is more beautiful and lasts longer.

Each time you look in the mirror, your jawline becomes a little more refined, and the burden of taking photos decreases— that is the goal we pursue.

What we do is not simply changing appearances, but helping each person regain confidence and daily happiness.

Through honest care and proven methods, we will remain a place you can trust for a long time.

So that we can become the name that first comes to mind when skin concerns arise, we will continue to stay by your side without change.
