THERMAGE FLX IN SEOUL
WOOA Dermatology in Gangnam uses the 4th-generation Thermage FLX, with every session planned and carried out by experienced doctors from consultation to final shot.
Quick answer: Thermage is a premium radiofrequency treatment that heats the dermis evenly to stimulate collagen. It tightens sagging cheeks, refines enlarged pores and improves firmness, texture and volume in one treatment. Results build over two to three months, peak at around six months and can last from roughly 10 to 24 months.
HOW THERMAGE WORKS
The outcome of Thermage depends on how much energy is delivered, at what depth and in what pattern, so the same machine can give very different results in different hands. At WOOA, each treatment begins with a one-to-one consultation covering skin thickness, fat distribution, degree of laxity and comfort. The doctor then maps out energy levels, tips and priority areas, with the aim of a well-proportioned, natural-looking lift rather than maximum intensity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is Thermage suitable for?
It suits people with rougher texture, reduced overall firmness, sagging cheeks or fine lines, and tends to work particularly well in the early stages of ageing.
How is Thermage different from Ultherapy?
Ultherapy lifts from the deep SMAS layer, whereas Thermage tightens and improves elasticity, texture and volume throughout the dermis. Because they act on different layers, the two are often combined.
Can I go back to normal activities straight away?
Yes. Swelling and bruising are minimal, so most people resume their day immediately. A mild warm feeling may linger briefly.
When will I see results?
Collagen begins to change right away and continues to rebuild over two to three months. The best result is usually seen at about six months and may last around 10 to 24 months.
Is it painful?
You may feel a brief tingling or heat. The latest FLX tips and cooling system make it much more comfortable than older devices, so anaesthesia is usually unnecessary, though numbing cream can be used.
