[Dermatologist Lee Yu-deuk]

Hello,

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

This is Easyham Dermatology.

"Every time I look in the mirror, my sagging facial line worries me."

Have you ever sighed in the morning while looking in the mirror at a facial line that seems different from before? Skin aging that naturally comes with time is a process everyone experiences, but the speed and degree vary from person to person.

Today, as a Gangnam dermatology specialist, I’d like to share the concerns I often hear in the clinic and what changes the Thermage method may bring.

A beauty consultation that is of real value

I am dermatologist Lee Yu-deuk.

"They say age is just a number, but what I see in the mirror..."

By the mid-40s, even people who usually pay close attention to skin care begin to experience a loss of overall facial elasticity and a less defined jawline.

This is a point when a deeper change in the skin is needed, one that cannot be hidden with makeup.

When considering lifting methods, many people think of dramatic changes, but they often hope to return naturally to the firm skin they once had, without going too far.

That wish is also connected to the philosophy of Easyham Dermatology.

Thermage, the principle of changing the skin from deep within

Thermage is a lifting method that uses radiofrequency energy.

It delivers thermal energy deep into the dermis rather than staying on the skin surface, and may help activate collagen and elastin.

Like rebuilding the foundation of an old building, it may help make the skin’s underlying structure firmer.

As a Gangnam dermatology specialist, I have seen many lifting methods, but Thermage is one that may help with skin tightening and collagen regeneration among them.

It is important to understand that Thermage does not simply change the outer appearance.

You may feel some change immediately after the procedure, but the real change may appear gradually over 4 to 12 weeks.

As collagen inside the skin is newly formed and reorganized, you may notice changes after 2 to 3 months.

However, this may vary depending on individual skin condition.

This natural process of change can be considered one of Thermage’s major advantages.

Procedure guide, a time to understand together

The parts that visitors usually wonder about are pain and the time required.

During the process of delivering thermal energy, Thermage may cause a stinging or hot sensation.

However, the degree of discomfort varies from person to person, and if needed, we can apply a numbing cream to help reduce it.

As a Gangnam dermatology specialist, we place the comfort of each visitor first when carrying out the procedure.

The procedure takes about 1 hour for the full face.

It may vary slightly depending on the skin condition and treatment area.

In particular, Thermage’s improved tip design may help reduce pain and shorten the procedure time compared with earlier versions.

Aftercare may affect the results

After the procedure, aftercare is a very important part.

For one week after Thermage, it may help to avoid high-heat environments such as saunas or jjimjilbangs.

It may also help to temporarily avoid vigorous exercise that raises heat in the face.

And above all, sufficient water intake and moisturizing care are important.

The skin needs to retain enough moisture during the collagen activation process for it to be helpful.

Sun protection is also essential.

This is something I always emphasize as a Gangnam dermatology specialist: since ultraviolet rays can affect collagen, it is best to apply sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher carefully even indoors.

If any of your usual cosmetics contain irritating ingredients, it may help to stop using them for a while and switch to products focused on soothing and moisturizing.

Mild swelling or redness may appear in the treated area, but in most cases it may subside within 1 to 3 days.

You may wash your face and apply makeup from the same day, but it is best to let the skin rest as much as possible on the first day.

The true beauty created by natural change

Seeing the backs of people as they leave the clinic makes me once again reflect on the philosophy of Easyham Dermatology.

As the phrase goes, "a comfortable face rather than an excessive change," Thermage does not create dramatic transformations.

Instead, it may help restore the skin’s natural health and gradually recover the elasticity lost over time.

The process is slow but steady, and above all, natural.

I want to share a message with those who feel burdened by skin concerns.

Skin changes that come with aging are nothing to be ashamed of, and the desire to manage them is also completely natural.

What matters, however, is choosing the method that suits you and receiving care through proven methods at a clinic that practices honest medicine.

Dermatology care is not simply a treatment, but a process of completing your beauty.

Rather than one procedure, building a relationship you can trust over time is the value I cherish as a Gangnam dermatology specialist.

If you are still worrying in front of the mirror today, I hope you will not worry alone and instead take time to learn more comfortably.

So that your skin can regain the healthy beauty it originally had, we will always be with you with honesty and warmth.
