Thermage is a firming treatment that delivers unipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to the dermis to immediately contract collagen and stimulate regeneration. It is effective for overall skin tightening and improving fine lines and pores.
It uniformly heats a large area of the dermis to comprehensively improve skin texture, elasticity, fine lines, and pores. The focus is on 'firm elasticity' rather than deep sagging lifting.
Since there may be a hot sensation during the procedure, soothing care is provided. It is recommended to check whether genuine tips (indicated by usage count) are being used.
It has strengths in dermal elasticity and tightening rather than deep sagging lifting, so it is recommended to combine it with HIFU or thread lifting for severe sagging.
Genuine tips are marked with the number of uses (shots), so it is recommended to check the tip and the number of uses before treatment.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
You can usually return to your daily routine immediately, and there is virtually no recovery period. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress right after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
