Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyeok.

1. What is Elasticity Lifting?

 

From a dermatological perspective Skin tightening 'class Lifting It is a distinctly different concept. elasticity It refers to the reaction in which collagen in the dermis layer of the skin increases, making the skin firm, and Lifting It moves the skin itself against gravity physical It refers to the action of pulling upwards. Because methods like Thermage, which inject high-frequency thermal energy, activate collagen in the dermis layer, Elasticity increase effect It is large, and due to the contraction response of surrounding tissues Lifting effect You can also expect some degree of that. That is why many procedures explain the two concepts together.

 

 

2. Principles of Thermage Procedure

 

Thermage treatment strongly delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to the dermis layer of the skin. Induces collagen regeneration To prevent high-frequency thermal energy from damaging the skin surface, vibration and cooling technologies are applied together at the laser tip. In other words, it induces collagen contraction and regeneration by keeping the outer surface of the skin cool while pushing hot energy inward. During the procedure, you feel a cold sensation along with a sudden, 'snap' penetration. sensation of heat Here is the reason why this feeling is shared.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Facial Thermage vs. Eye Thermage

 

Thermage is largely for the face. Total Tip For the eye area iTip It is divided into. Total Tips It is used on the entire face, and iTip It is suitable for thin and sensitive areas like the eyelids. Since using a standard Total Tip on areas with thin skin like the eyes carries a risk of eye damage or burns, it must be distinguished during the procedure.

4. Effects of Thermage Treatment

 

In that case, what you can expect from the Thermage procedure Representative effects What is it?

first The natural benefit is increased elasticity. As collagen increases, the skin becomes firmer, and with the added thermal contraction effect from radio frequency, some lifting effect may also occur.

Second It is the improvement of fine lines. Fine lines caused by the decrease in collagen due to aging can be noticeably alleviated after Thermage.

third It is pore reduction. Since pores have a structure that widens when surrounding collagen breaks down, collagen regeneration increases density and naturally results in the effect of narrowing the pores.

Fourth It improves skin tone. As the environment of the dermis improves, it has a positive effect on skin problems related to pigmentation, making the skin look much brighter.

Rarely, temporary redness or stinging may occur on the skin, and if you have skin sensitive to heat, it is advisable to discuss this thoroughly beforehand.

 

 

 

6. People Suitable for Thermage

 

Thermage is the oldest and most proven non-surgical lifting procedure utilizing powerful radiofrequency energy. You can expect a wide range of benefits, including stimulating collagen production, improving elasticity, reducing fine lines, shrinking pores, and improving skin tone. With the proper treatment method and aftercare, it can be of great help in effectively slowing down skin aging.
