Thermage cost-effective treatment, Density

When considering Thermage, it is a procedure that is considered to have a similar principle but lower cost. Density You will come into contact with it.

but It's hard to choose just because of the cost-effectiveness. First, it is important to accurately understand the principles, objects, and limitations.

 

In this article What kind of treatment is Density? , Who is it suitable for? , Points you must know before the procedure Let me summarize.

What is the principle of Density treatment?

Density is Radiofrequency (RF) energy Delivers to the skin Activates collagen regeneration It is introduced as a treatment.

Key points

• Uses 6.78MHz high frequency output

• Transfers heat energy into the skin → skin The purpose is to make it chewy and elastic

• It is not a procedure to “make the face smaller” → Focused on improving skin texture and elasticity

 

Why is Density referred to as a 'cost-effective treatment'?

① High-frequency output-based effect

• Same as Thermage FLX Use high-frequency output frequency

• Long-term elasticity maintenance after one treatment Designed to target

② Explanation of stability

• Every shot Skin resistance (impedance) check

• 5-step cooling time control system Regulates skin surface thermal stimulation

③ Accessibility in relation to cost

• Preparing for high-frequency lifting surgery A relatively low-cost option Mentioned as

• If you are burdened by repeated, high-cost treatments Reasons for considering alternatives

The term "cost-effective" simply means that it is one of the cost-effective options, but it does not guarantee the same results for everyone.

 

Who is suitable for density treatment?

In this case, the subject of consideration is

• If your skin elasticity has decreased overall

• If you are looking to improve fine wrinkles and skin texture

• If you are concerned about sagging cheeks and a sagging jawline

• Thin skin type with little or moderate fat content

When caution is required

• If you have a lot of facial fat or thick skin → Expected results may vary

 

💬 Important points

Density is not a “treatment that pulls and reduces lines”. A treatment aimed at tightening the skin is described as:

 

Clearing Up Misconceptions About Pain, Anesthesia, and Safety

Pain-related descriptions

• The perception that “the more it hurts, the better the effect” Misconceptions about density Mentioned as

• The pain is Problems with energy transfer methods and control systems

Anesthesia method

• In some cases, it is performed using only cream anesthesia.

• If you are sensitive to pain Concurrent anesthesia and pain relief possible

Special case

• If you have metal braces, you may experience pain in certain areas.

• Post-filler/fat grafting procedures Recommended after a certain period of time has passed after confirming fat engraftment

 

What is the treatment process and how many shots are needed, and why is it important to get it done in one session?

Treatment time

• Based on the entire face About 25-30 minutes

• Including aftercare About 1~1.5 hours

Description of the number of shots

• 600 shots once vs 300 shots twice → Because collagen denaturation begins after reaching a certain temperature. It is explained that the method of receiving all at once is more efficient in principle.

Part distribution

• Depending on the area of ​​concern, you can focus on specific areas such as the nasolabial fold or philtrum.

Treatment cycle and downtime information

• Recommended cycle: About a year apart

• Maintain subjective elasticity: 6~9 months

• Downtime: Almost none

• Temporary erythema may occur, but is described as relatively mild.

 

Summary: Density, judge it from this perspective.

Density is

• High frequency based Skin elasticity and texture improvement treatment

• Not all face-lift procedures are designed to make your face smaller.

• The sensation may vary depending on skin type and fat content.

Important judgment criteria

• Is it suitable for my skin type?

• Is the expected effect “replacing lifting surgery” or “natural improvement in elasticity”?

• Considering pain, anesthesia, and cycle, is this the right choice for me?
