Mind Dermatology that changes the essence of the skin with care

Care that starts from empathy

We do not view the skin as a mere condition

but as the result of the patient's concerns and the passage of time.

We do not miss even small changes

and from fully listening and understanding,

the consultation begins.

< Personalized lifting care based on balance >

Rather than trends or excessive changes,

in a direction that preserves inherent beauty,

between medical standards and personal expectations,

we propose treatments suited to the skin.

Premium care that plans the process as well

From consultation to procedure and follow-up,

a board-certified dermatologist is directly involved,

creating natural and comfortable changes.

Hello.

Improving the essence of the skin with care,

I am Lee Hongseon, founder and director of Mind Dermatology.

​

​

​

Recently, when watching broadcasts, there are often people who maintain skin that looks surprisingly young and firm.

​

​

​

“What kind of care do they possibly do?”

​

​

​

Many of you are probably curious.

​

​

​

​

​

​

One of the commonly mentioned treatments in such cases is

exactlyThermage at Hongdae Station DermatologyThis is.

​

​

​

In actual consultations,

​

​

​

"How long does Thermage last?"

"Do I need to do it again after six months?"

"How often should I schedule it?"

​

​

​

I get these questions a lot.

​

​

​

So today I'll organize a somewhat realistic overview of Thermage at Hongdae Station Dermatology.

​

​

​

Please focus for a moment.

​

​

What kind of procedure is it?

​

Thermage at Hongdae Station Dermatology is a lifting procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat to the deeper layers of the skin.

​

​

​

​

​

​

The important point here is not to "pull the surface tightly,"

​

​

​

but that it reorganizes the collagen environment within the skin and firms up the lax tissue.

​

​

​

Therefore, the result is often an overall improvement in firmness,

​

​

​

making the skin appear more defined.

​

​

​

​

​

​

Nowadays, more people prefer a subtle, natural-looking change rather than an exaggerated one.

​

​

Who is this suitable for?

​

​

Thermage at Hongdae Station Dermatology is better suited for those with overall beginnings of reduced skin elasticity rather than those seeking to change a single area.

​

​

​

- If you feel your facial contour has become less defined than before

- If you notice changes in the jawline

- If fine lines are starting to bother you

- If your skin texture doesn't feel like it used to

​

​

​

​

​

​

It is relatively easy to approach for those concerned about such overall changes.

​

​

​

Especially"a naturally refined feel"You may consider it a procedure that offers slightly higher satisfaction for those who want it.

​

​

​

How long do the effects last?

​

​

This is the part people ask about most.

​

​

​

​

​

We generally guide based on about 6–9 months,

but depending on skin condition and lifestyle, it can vary from around 3 months to nearly a year.

​

​

​

Rather than immediately after the procedure, you feel tightening developing after 1–2 months,

​

​

​

after which it is maintained gradually and then slowly diminishes.

​

​

​

​

​

​

So instead of recommending based solely on the number of sessions,

​

​

​

we place more importance on monitoring the current condition and progress, and advising the appropriate timing accordingly.

​

​

The most important factor determining the outcome

​

At Hongdae Station Dermatology, Thermage equipment is important, buthow the energy is deliveredgreatly affects the results.

​

​

​

​

​

At which depth

at what intensity

in what sequence it is applied

​

​

​

If these aspects are not correct, the effect may be weak or unnecessary irritation may occur.

​

​

​

Therefore,the director (myself) personally checks from consultation through the procedureand we design the approach according to the current skin condition.

​

​

​

We value achieving natural results within the necessary range rather than proceeding excessively.

​

​

​

​

​

​

Thermage is certainly a good procedure, but it does not produce the same result for everyone.

​

​

​

Satisfaction varies depending on the approach.

​

​

​

So when considering the procedure,

​

​

​

- whether sufficient consultation is provided

- Whether they suggest a direction that suits my face

- Whether the plan is not excessive

​

​

​

I strongly recommend checking these criteria.

​

​

​

It does not have to be our clinic.

​

​

​

​

​

​

However, please have a calm consultation with an experienced medical professional,

​

​

​

and I hope you take a moment to consider what a natural choice for your skin is right now.

​

​

​

I will provide care with sincerity.
