Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic,

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

In practice, I often meet patients who say things like this.

"Right after the treatment it definitely seemed to work, so why does it feel like it returned to normal so quickly?"

I fully understand what you mean by that.

However, in most of these cases the issue is not really a problem with Thermage lifting at Hongdae Dermatology, but the cause often lies somewhere else.

From now on, I willexplain in detail why you may feel Thermage’s effects don’t last long,and I will describe the reasons thoroughly.

Please focus for a moment :)

What is the real reason Thermage’s effects don’t last?

Many people think skin sagging is caused only by collagen loss or fat loss.

However, there is one more cause we must examine beneath those factors.

It is the facial muscles.

When we are young, our facial contours stay firm because the facial muscles support the skin from underneath,which keeps it taut.

As we age, these facial muscles gradually weaken and begin to sag downward under the influence of gravity.

In addition, small habitual behaviors such as clenching the jaw

can cause certain muscles to become overdeveloped while the muscles that should be used become progressively weaker.

As a result, the skin sags more quickly.

Thermage lifting at Hongdae Dermatology is certainly effective at stimulating collagen in the dermis to improve skin elasticity.

But if the muscles are imbalanced, no matter how much you firm up the skin, the same cycle of loosening will repeat over time.

In other words, it’s not that the Thermage procedure itself is wrong, but because the muscle issue wasn’t addressed, you feel the effects don’t last.

How can muscle imbalance be resolved?

Muscle management to enhance Thermage lifting at Hongdae Dermatology can be approached in two main ways.

Relax excessively tense muscles,
and activate weakened muscles.

Areas that habitually tense, such as the masseter, glabellar area, and forehead, benefit from treatments like Botox to reduce tension and adjust volume.That helps.

Many people know Botox only for wrinkle reduction, but when used at appropriate doses it can also help correct muscle imbalances.

For weakened muscles, self-exercises are effective.

If you repeat motions such as relaxing the jaw while making an 'ah' sound or slightly lifting the corners of your mouth into a smile,

you can strengthen the muscles to help prevent facial contours from sagging.

However, the key is to perform these exercises consistently every day^^

So far we have looked into why Thermage lifting effects at Hongdae Dermatology Clinic may seem to fade quickly.

And we also covered ways to address that issue^^

In other words, you need to understand the current condition of your face to respond appropriately.

That is the first step to properly dealing with aging.

Because everyone's bone structure, muscle development, and facial expression habits differ, a tailored approach through thorough consultation is importantright.

I hope this post gave you some idea of the sequence in which it would be good to manage things.

I will treat you with sincerity.
