Seongsan-dong TensTherma Effects: What to Know Before 600 Shots About When You’ll Feel Results, Pain · and Swelling

Hello.

I’m Kim Ha-won from Beauty’s Doctor.

The questions people considering TensTherma

are most curious about are quite similar.

“When will I start to feel the effects?”

“What is the difference between 300 shots and 600 shots?”

“How much pain or swelling should I expect?”

When considering a lifting treatment,

it is natural to wonder when you will start noticing changes after the procedure,

as well as how many shots you should receive.

However, TensTherma

needs to be approached somewhat differently from simply judging the results based on the number of shots

or evaluating the effects immediately

by looking at your appearance right after the procedure.

TensTherma uses radiofrequency energy

to deliver heat to the skin tissue,

and is a device that observes

the skin’s elasticity response that occurs during this process.

Because it does not immediately add volume like a filler

or directly pull the tissue with threads,

it is important to look beyond your appearance immediately after the procedure

and observe how the skin responds over time,

after the initial swelling and warmth have subsided.

So today, I’ll explain the principles behind the effects of TensTherma,

as well as the difference between 300 and 600 shots,

3-Line Summary

1. TensTherma is a device that uses radiofrequency energy

to induce a heat response in the skin tissue.

2. Rather than judging the effects of TensTherma immediately after the procedure,

observe the progress after the initial swelling has gone down.

3. More important than the numbers 300 or 600 shots

is distributing the energy according to your facial condition and treatment area.

1. What Is the Principle Behind the Effects of TensTherma?

TensTherma delivers radiofrequency energy

to the skin tissue to induce a heat response.

When heat is delivered, responses related to collagen

occur in the skin tissue,

and over time,

changes in elasticity can be observed.

Therefore, it may be considered during a consultation

if your skin feels thinner and less firm than before,

or if you are concerned about the elasticity of your cheeks and jawline.

However, even when sagging looks similar,

the causes are not always the same.

Depending on whether the issue is a loss of elasticity in the skin itself

or whether the contours look heavier because of the amount of fat in the cheeks or jawline,

the areas where energy is concentrated

and the treatment plan may also differ.

2. When Can You Check the Effects?

Immediately after the procedure, you may experience warmth, redness,

or mild swelling.

Even if your face looks tighter than usual at this point,

it is difficult to regard this as the final effect of TensTherma.

This is because with radiofrequency treatments,

the time when heat is delivered

and the time when you feel changes in the skin

may not be the same.

After the initial response has subsided,

compare your skin’s firmness, texture, and jawline

over time.

Skin thickness and the degree of elasticity loss,

as well as the energy settings, differ from person to person,

so the timing and degree of the sensations you experience

may also vary.

3. Are 600 Shots of TensTherma Better?

When searching for TensTherma,

many people compare treatments based on 300 or 600 shots.

They may also wonder whether more shots

will necessarily produce better results.

However, more shots

do not automatically make a treatment more suitable.

The required number and distribution of shots

may differ depending on whether the entire face is treated broadly

or the energy is concentrated on a specific area,

such as the cheeks or jawline.

Even with the same 600 shots,

the actual treatment configuration may differ

depending on how many shots are allocated to each area

and what energy settings are used.

Therefore, during your consultation,

it is a good idea to ask not only,

“How many shots are there?”

but also,

“Which areas will be treated,

and how will the shots be distributed?”

4. How Much Pain and Swelling Should You Expect?

During the procedure, along with a feeling of warmth,

you may experience brief heat or prickling sensations.

You may feel the heat more strongly

in areas close to the bone

or where there is less fat.

TensTherma is equipped with a cooling system

to regulate heat on the skin’s surface,

but the level of pain varies depending on the treatment area,

the energy settings,

and individual sensitivity.

After the procedure, you may also experience

redness or mild swelling.

On the day of treatment, avoid saunas, hot baths,

and high-intensity exercise,

which can add heat to the skin,

while monitoring your skin’s response to support recovery.

If the pain gradually worsens

or you develop blisters, altered sensation, or other symptoms,

contact the medical institution where you received the treatment

for confirmation.

5. How Does It Compare with Thermage?

When looking into TensTherma,

you may also compare it with Thermage, Density, and Oligio.

All of them can be considered within the broad category

of radiofrequency lifting treatments,

but there are differences among the devices

in how they deliver energy,

as well as in their cooling systems and settings.

Therefore, rather than simply comparing

“Which device is stronger?”

it is important to consider skin thickness, fat volume,

areas of concern,

and sensitivity to pain together.

This is because even the same device

is not used with exactly the same settings

for everyone.

Wrapping Up

When considering the effects of TensTherma,

it is important to first identify

which areas of your face are a concern,

rather than looking only at the number of shots or the output.

Distinguishing whether you are concerned about

the elasticity of the skin itself

or whether your cheeks or jawline

feel heavy

can also help determine the direction of the treatment.

Rather than focusing only on the numbers 300 or 600 shots,

check together how the energy will be distributed across the treatment areas

and when the progress will be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Do the effects of TensTherma appear immediately?

Immediately after the procedure, your skin may feel tight because of swelling or warmth. You should observe the progress over time after the initial response has subsided.

Q2. Which is better, 300 shots or 600 shots?

The required number and distribution of shots may vary depending on the size of your face, the treatment area, and your skin condition. There are limitations to determining suitability based only on the number of shots.

Q3. How painful is TensTherma?

You may feel warmth, brief heat, or prickling. The sensation varies depending on the area, energy settings, and individual sensitivity.

Q4. How is the interval between TensTherma treatments determined?

It is more practical to determine the timing of the next treatment after checking the progress since the previous procedure

and your current skin condition.
