Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology,

I am Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.

Thermage is not inexpensive, so

what if you don't notice much difference after getting it?

Browsing reviews, such concerns can arise.

Some say their facial contours were refined, while others say they saw no change.

HoweverIt's difficult to attribute differences in Thermage results simply to the device or shot count.

Depending on what's causing your face to look saggy,

Thermage lifting may be appropriate, or other treatments may be needed.

If you are looking into Hapjeong Dermatology Clinic's Thermage,

before comparing prices,

you need to first consider what changes in your face led you to consider liftingyou should. ^^

Thermage is not inexpensive,

what if you notice little difference after receiving it?

Thermage liftingrequires time for collagen in the skin to reorganize after the procedureIt does.

When radiofrequency heat is delivered,

existing collagen contracts and the skin can feel slightly tightened immediately after the procedureIt can.

Afterwards,collagen and elastic fibers are gradually reorganized, changing skin texture and elasticity.

So judging the effect by looking in the mirror the next day is a bit early.

That doesn't mean you must watch for changes for months,

but time passing doesn't mean everyone will have the same result.

If you've waited long enough and your facial contours remain the same,

it's not a matter of timing butyou should reassess whether Thermage was the right treatment for your concern.

If waiting brought no change, what could have been different?

The reason someone looks saggy may not have been reduced skin elasticity.

If your face shows thin, stretched skin and increased fine wrinkles, consider Thermageas an option.

On the other hand, if the cheeks have hollowed and the nasolabial folds deepened,

reduced volume rather than the skin itself may be having a greater effect.That is possible.

The same applies to faces where lower cheek fat or submandibular fat has descended heavily.

Simply firming the skin may not change the contour as much as you want.

This is also the first distinction I make during Thermage lifting consultations at Hapjeong Dermatology.

Whether we need to address skin laxity,

or preserve volume in hollowed areas,

affects the scope of the treatment.

Thermage

Will 600 shots be better than 300 shots?

Doubling the number of shots does not double the skin change.

The shot count refers to the number of times radiofrequency energy is delivered.

The required number naturally differs when focusing only on the jawline versus treating the cheeks, mouth corners, and lateral face more broadly.Needed counts will inevitably vary.

Facial size and skin surface area also differ between people.

If the whole face is the concern,treating a small area with few shots may leave the result disappointing,

whereassimply increasing shots without targeting the necessary areas does not increase satisfaction.

When choosing Thermage lifting at Hapjeong Dermatology

You should check not only how many shots but also how those shots are allocated and used on each area.

Thermage

How can I avoid side effects?

With Thermage, rather than treating the entire face at the same intensity,

appropriate energy should be delivered according to each skin area.

If energy that is too strong for your skin is applied, after the procedure redness or swellingmay develop, and

rarely burns or reactions that make the skin surface appear unevenmay also occur.

That said,it is also inappropriate to lower the energy excessively.

The necessary heat should be delivered within the range the skin can tolerate,

and areas where the skin is thin and sensitive should be approached differently from areas that require more energy.

If you are considering Thermage lifting at Hapjeong Dermatology,

“How many shots should I receive?”rather than

“What parts of my face can change with Thermage?”I hope you ask.

Whether the face only needs improvement in skin elasticity,

or whether volume loss or the weight of fat also needs to be addressed can only be determined by examining the skin directly.

Before deciding what to add,

I recommend that at Hapjeong Dermatology you first check which areas of your face should be preserved.

I will provide care with sincerity.
