Recommended Dermatology Clinic in Samseong-dong: Thermage, and Why It May Seem to Have No Effect After the Procedure.

Hello.

This is Owen Clinic Samseong Branch, your dedicated skin care hospital.

Among skin procedures, Thermage has established itself as a special treatment that goes beyond simple lifting and draws out the skin’s inherent regenerative potential.

It is also one of the most popular procedures at our Owen Clinic.

However, among those considering the procedure, many ask, “Does Thermage really work?”

In fact, you can find reviews saying “no Thermage effect.”

But this radiofrequency-based lifting technology has already proven its effectiveness through numerous clinical studies and real-world cases.

That said, because radiofrequency lifting does not produce dramatic visible changes, some people may mistakenly think it has no effect.

So today, we’ll talk about why people say Thermage has no effect at all.

First, we need to understand the structure of the skin. Samseong-dong dermatology recommendation

To understand the principle of Thermage, we first need to briefly look at skin structure.

The skin is divided into the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, and Thermage focuses on the dermis among these layers.

The dermis is made up of collagen and elastin fibers that are responsible for skin elasticity. As we age, these fibers gradually weaken and become deformed, leading to a decline in elasticity.

Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate this dermal layer and promote the formation of new collagen and the rearrangement of existing collagen fibers, helping the skin regain firmness.

Thermage is not just a simple lifting procedure; it is a technology that helps the skin recover its natural condition. Samseong-dong dermatology recommendation

The key technology behind Thermage is “monopolar radiofrequency.”

Monopolar radiofrequency generates thermal energy at the skin surface and delivers it deep into the dermis.

During this process, existing collagen fibers contract and new collagen is formed, gradually making the skin firmer.

What is interesting is that this change is not limited to a short-term effect; better results gradually appear between 3 and 6 months after the procedure.

This has also been confirmed in various studies. In particular, one study published by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) reported that collagen density increased up to 6 months after treatment.

In other words, the result you can expect from the procedure is “gradually returning elasticity.”

It does not create effects like reducing a double chin or a facelift, but it firmly supports skin that would otherwise age, restores firmness, and helps improve fine lines and skin texture.

The effect can last for up to a year, which makes it one of the procedures with many advantages.

The radiofrequency thermal energy stimulates collagen fibers deep in the skin while maintaining safety in the epidermal layer.

In addition, Thermage protects the skin surface through a cooling system, allowing thermal energy to be delivered intensively only to the dermis. This makes it relatively safe even for people with thin skin or sensitive skin.

It also has three tips with 300 shots, 600 shots, and 900 shots, so the appropriate tip can be used depending on the treatment area.

No matter how good a procedure is, if it is not right for you, the result will naturally not be good.

Thermage is known as one of the most effective radiofrequency procedures, yet people still say, “It has no effect at all.” Why is that?

The biggest reason is, in my view, that the procedure was not suitable for the person.

Because radiofrequency energy is delivered only to the dermis, its effect may be limited if the issue is contour improvement, severe wrinkles, or sagging.

In such cases, a procedure that acts on deeper layers, such as Ulthera, may be more effective.

Please keep in mind that if you choose a procedure based only on its popularity, it may not be the right procedure for you, and you could end up wasting money on an expensive treatment.

Therefore, at our Owen Clinic, we carefully assess whether a procedure is appropriate through a pre-treatment diagnostic process and suggest the best treatment method.

In addition, to make the treatment more effective, we go through a process of adjusting the energy intensity and designing the procedure.

Because each patient has different skin characteristics, we finely adjust the treatment direction and intensity.

Simply having a good machine does not mean everyone will get satisfying results.

The outcome can vary depending on whether the procedure is suitable for me and whether it is performed using a method tailored to my skin’s characteristics.
