A place that provides answers for skin health,

This is Ezham Dermatology Clinic.

As many people enter their 40s, they begin to feel that the contour of their face has changed little by little. When the cheeks start to sag downward, the jawline becomes less defined, and fine lines begin to settle around the eyes and forehead, people often find themselves lingering in front of the mirror.

The moment you notice a clear change in skin elasticity, it often feels difficult to know how to take care of it. Changes in the skin do not stop at appearance; they quietly affect the way you look at yourself every day.

In this article, we will explain step by step what Thermage lifting is and who it may help, for those who visit the dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station.

I still remember the expression

when they opened the consultation room door.

Among those who visit the dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station for Thermage,

many come in with concerns as they

realize skin elasticity has declined

for the first time.

Especially when people begin to enter

their 40s and notice the cheeks sagging

down or the jawline becoming blurred,

they often feel unsure about how to

manage it.

Some say their face looks unfamiliar

in photos compared with before, or that

even makeup no longer gives them a

vibrant look.

For those trying lifting for the first time,

the most common questions are how the

procedure is performed, how much it will

affect daily life afterward, and whether the

results will look natural.

At Ezham Dermatology Clinic, we first

carefully examine the visitor's skin

condition and, after listening fully to their

concerns, find the most suitable direction

together.

We place importance on being a clinic

where you can comfortably talk about

skin concerns.

Thermage lifting is a procedure that brings warmth to collagen within the skin

Thermage is a lifting method that uses

radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the

dermis layer of the skin.

When thermal energy is delivered deep

into the skin, existing collagen fibers

contract, producing an immediate

tightening effect.

At the same time, thermal stimulation

induces new collagen production, which

can lead to gradual positive changes in

the skin afterward.

Like a spring that has long been loosened

and then regains its elasticity when heat

is applied, collagen takes on a new

structure and the skin's own strength

gradually comes back.

As we age, collagen in the dermis layer

decreases and loosens, which is a major

cause of sagging and reduced elasticity.

Thermage works on that fundamental

layer to bring about change from within

the skin.

The key to this method is that the change

begins deep within the dermis rather than

on the surface of the skin.

It is a method that helps restore the skin's

own strength by targeting areas with

reduced elasticity such as the cheeks,

jawline, and eye area.

Let us tell you about the Thermage used at Ezham Dermatology Clinic

At Ezham Dermatology Clinic, we use

Thermage equipment.

Its basic principle is to cool the skin

surface while simultaneously delivering

radiofrequency thermal energy to the

deep dermal layer.

This method, which protects the epidermis

while selectively heating only the dermis,

is meaningful in that it induces change

from within without directly stimulating

the skin surface.

One of the reasons people visiting the

dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station

find it convenient is that recovery to daily

life is relatively quick.

Depending on the treatment area and

scope, it usually takes about 30 minutes

to 1 hour.

Afterward, there may be slight swelling or

redness temporarily, but in most cases it

subsides within a few days, and washing

the face and applying makeup are possible

on the same day.

Because there is little downtime, it is a

method that attracts people who want to

care for their skin while maintaining their

daily routine.

When do the effects appear, and how long do they last?

The timing of results after lifting can vary

depending on the individual's skin

condition.

Some people feel a certain degree of

change right after the procedure, but the

main lifting effect appears as collagen is

activated, so it is often experienced more

clearly between 4 and 12 weeks.

Some people say they felt the skin changes

most distinctly around 2 to 3 months after

the procedure.

The duration of the effect varies depending

on the individual's skin condition, age, and

lifestyle habits, and is generally known to

last about 6 months to 1 year.

For this reason, we usually recommend

consistent care at intervals of 6 months to

1 year.

The more consistently skin is cared for,

the longer it can maintain its condition.

Because skin elasticity and the speed of

aging also vary depending on each

person's lifestyle, it is important to continue

both regular care and daily care together.

Rather than expecting everything to change

with just one treatment, the process of

continuously monitoring and caring for the

skin itself is important.

Please take care of these things before and after the procedure

Before the procedure, it is a good idea to

check a few things in advance.

Avoid heavy makeup on the day of treatment,

and if you have any skin trouble or

inflammation, please let the medical staff

know first.

The procedure may be limited if you are

pregnant, have heart disease, or have any

metal foreign material in your body, so

please inform us in advance during the

consultation.

After the procedure, we recommend avoiding

saunas, jjimjilbang, and excessive exercise

for about a week, and paying special

attention to sun protection.

Because ultraviolet rays can accelerate

collagen damage, it is good to apply a

sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher carefully.

Adequate water intake and consistent

moisturizing care can help keep the skin in

good condition after the procedure.

At the dermatology clinic near Gangnam

Station, we also guide some people to

combine lifting with skin boosters

depending on their skin condition.

Because lifestyle habits after lifting have a

significant effect on the results, maintaining

good sleep quality and avoiding excessive

drinking and smoking can also help manage

skin elasticity.

Honest care is the kind that lasts the longest

Ezham Dermatology Clinic's treatment

philosophy is 'creating a comfortable face

rather than excessive change.'

For everyone who visits, we aim to provide

honest diagnosis and proven methods that

fit each person's skin rather than using

grandiose language.

Every person's skin is different, and the

same method may work well for one person

while another may need a different

approach.

That is why, in the consultation room, we

always take enough time to examine the

skin condition and think together about the

right direction.

Rather than one treatment, our goal at Ezham

Dermatology Clinic is to build a long-term

relationship that people can trust.

We will continue to provide honest and warm

care to everyone who visits the dermatology

clinic near Gangnam Station.

We will do our best to become a place where

you can comfortably talk when concerns

about skin elasticity arise.
