Mokdong Thermage

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyeon, chief director of the Mokdong branch of You&I Clinic.

“Will 300 shots be enough?

Would 600 shots be too many?”

Because different reviews say different things, and each clinic recommends a different number of shots, it can be even more confusing.

Some people say they saw results with 300 shots, while others say you need 600 shots to notice a difference.

But what matters most is not the number of shots, but choosing what matches your skin condition and treatment purpose.

Today, for those considering Thermage in Mokdong, I’ll summarize the key points: how the results differ by shot count and what 기준 to use for yourself.

After reading this, deciding “How many shots are right for me?” should feel much easier.

Mokdong Thermage What kind of treatment is it?

Among lifting treatments, Thermage delivers energy deep into the skin to improve elasticity, and it is a treatment that can offer relatively natural-looking, non-aggressive lifting effects.

The key is that radiofrequency (RF) energy stimulates collagen in the dermis and contracts existing collagen fibers, leading to a gradual process over time in which the skin becomes tighter and firmer.

Through this principle, it is possible to try to improve not only visible wrinkles and sagging, but also the skin’s internal structure itself.

Thermage in particular uses 6.78 MHz monopolar radiofrequency.

This can efficiently deliver energy to the dermis without significantly damaging the skin surface, and it is designed to reduce pain and side effects during the skin-recovery process.

Compared with the previous model, Thermage FLX has improved treatment speed and convenience,

and it also includes a function that automatically adjusts energy according to each person’s skin condition, which strengthens both the precision and safety of the procedure.

Mokdong Thermage Is it right for me?

Thermage is mainly recommended for people who need improved firmness, fine wrinkles, and skin texture.

In particular, you may expect treatment benefits in the following cases.

  • When wrinkles around the eyes or forehead have started to become noticeably deeper

  • When nasolabial folds are more prominent or the jawline has weakened, making the facial line look unclear

  • When pores have enlarged and the skin texture feels rough

  • When the face feels less voluminous and somewhat sagging

On the other hand, if there is too much fat in the face, it may be difficult to expect a satisfying lifting effect from Thermage alone.

In this case, it is better to discuss whether to combine it with other treatments through a consultation.

Also, one advantage of Thermage is that it can be customized by area.

For example, delicate areas such as around the eyes can be treated safely using the “Eye Thermage Tip,” which can also help improve localized firmness.

Mokdong Thermage How many shots are good?

One of the questions people considering Thermage ask most often is, “How many shots should I get?”

Usually, people debate between 300 shots and 600 shots, but this is not simply a difference in numbers; it depends on the treatment area, the purpose, and the current condition of the skin.

For example, 300 shots are suitable when you want a focused effect on a relatively small area such as around the eyes or the forehead.

Especially for younger patients receiving the treatment for the purpose of preventing aging, energy can be concentrated effectively on specific areas, making it sufficient in many cases.

On the other hand, 600 shots are recommended when overall facial firmness has noticeably decreased, or when wrinkle improvement and overall lifting are needed.

Since it can cover a wide area including the cheeks, jawline, and around the eyes, it is a suitable choice for people in their 40s and older, or for those with more noticeable skin changes.

But the important thing is that more shots are not always better.

Excessive treatment can place a burden on the skin, and satisfaction may be low relative to the cost, so it is important to clearly understand your skin condition and treatment purpose, then consult thoroughly with the medical staff.

Today, I talked about information that would be helpful for those considering Mokdong Thermage.

We all have different skin conditions, and we each want different kinds of change.

Some people want a natural, subtle change, while others want clear wrinkle improvement or lifting effects.

That is why, when considering lifting treatments including Thermage, it is important not to simply follow trends, but to choose the direction that truly fits your skin and expectations.

If you determine the number of shots and treatment area that suit you through a careful diagnosis and sufficient consultation with the medical staff, and share realistic expectations, you can achieve more satisfying results.

This has been Kim Jin-hyeon, chief director of You&I Clinic Mokdong branch.

Thank you.
