Crow’s feet wrinkles—when did they get this deep?
Every time I look in the mirror,
the wrinkles around my mouth seem to be getting more noticeable.
If wrinkles that used to appear only when you smiled
start to remain even when your face is at rest,
it may be a sign that the elasticity in your skin is no longer what it used to be.

Once wrinkles settle around the eyes,
your overall impression can feel very different.
I think it is a major factor that makes someone look older.
Also, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the mouth make you look older.
When wrinkles become fixed in place,
makeup can settle into the lines,
which makes them stand out even more.
For people worried about these issues,
it seems to cause a lot of stress.

Hello.
The changes in our faces as we grow older
are natural,
but it is true that they are not always welcome.
I am Bang Chan-il, a dermatologist in Sadang-dong,
who understands these stresses and concerns
and continues communicating with new patients every day.
Today, I would like to talk about Thermage,
which is effective for wrinkle lifting.

What is Thermage?
Thermage is a lifting procedure that uses
to high-frequency (RF) energy.
Rather than acting on the skin’s surface,
it works from within to improve elasticity,
stimulate collagen regeneration,
and make the skin tissue firmer.
In addition to providing an immediate improvement in firmness,
it is a procedure in which collagen increases inside the skin
as time passes.
It usually lasts for 1 to 2 years,
and with consistent care, better results can be expected.
📍 Immediate effect → The skin feels firmer and wrinkles appear softened
📍 After 2–3 months → Collagen in the skin increases, and wrinkle improvement continues
📍 After 6 months to 1 year → Elasticity improves deep within the skin and is maintained naturally
Why do crow’s feet and mouth wrinkles appear?
Wrinkles do not appear all at once;
they gradually deepen.

Wrinkles are not simply a problem on the skin’s surface.
Over time, elasticity inside the skin declines,
and as the skin becomes thinner, wrinkles gradually deepen.
As collagen and elastin decrease,
the structure that maintains elasticity inside the skin weakens.
As fat diminishes, the skin becomes thinner,
making fine lines easier to settle in.
Wrinkles that appear when you smile or talk
also deepen over time.
Wrinkles that have formed
are difficult to make disappear naturally.
Elasticity needs to be restored from within the skin.
To help restore elasticity,
Thermage can provide a natural benefit.
Thermage is not simply a lifting procedure;
it is a treatment that revives collagen within the skin.

Sadang-dong Thermage procedure,
who is it effective for?
Thermage is for people with reduced skin elasticity
and concerns about wrinkles.
It is a treatment that helps restore
a natural, firm skin texture.
People in their 20s and 30s seek it out
for fine lines and maintaining elasticity,
while those in their 40s to 60s seek it out
for improved firmness and softening of deeper wrinkles.

It usually lasts for 1 to 2 years,
and depending on the individual, additional sessions may be performed.
All procedures should be carried out according to each person’s skin condition.
When searching for a dermatologist in Sadang-dong,
I recommend gathering as much information as possible.
Think about which procedure suits your concerns,
and through a consultation, look into whether there are other alternatives.
The fine lines that once seemed light at first,
once they start to catch your eye,
will continue to bother you.
“You think it’s still okay?” Then when you look in the mirror,
you may find that the wrinkles have become deeper
without you noticing.

It is better to take care of your skin as early as possible.
I am not telling you to visit our clinic.
However, if you have concerns about your skin,
it is better to address them quickly.
I do not think time alone will resolve skin concerns.
