Hello, I'm interested in Thermage FLX at LAHYEON Plastic Surgery. Could you suggest a plan for me?
No booking until you confirm.
What Thermage FLX does
Thermage is a radiofrequency (RF) lifting device cleared by the FDA for lifting and wrinkle improvement. It sends RF energy beneath the skin surface, which the clinic describes as reaching down to the SMAS (fascia) layer, to stimulate collagen regeneration and elastin production.
The skin builds new collagen and other matrix proteins, so skin that has lost elasticity with age feels tighter and firmer. The aim is better skin quality as well as a lifted face line.
Areas it improves
Thermage FLX at Lahyeon is used for overall skin firmness and lift, sagging jowls and the jawline, and nasolabial folds. The treatment design is adjusted to each face after measuring skin depth.
The clinic's lifting devices can also be used on the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, upper arms and thighs, to improve firmness.
Thermage or Shurink
Lahyeon's device lifts are Thermage FLX, Shurink Universe and Onda. Shurink uses strong ultrasound for an immediate lift. Thermage focuses on collagen regeneration for firmer skin.
The right choice depends on your skin and goal, and some people combine them. The director recommends a device at consultation.
Comfort, results and aftercare
Most people find the discomfort tolerable. No sedation is used, and numbing cream is applied if needed. You may feel warmth or slight stinging during treatment.
Some lift can be felt right after treatment, but most of the change appears over 2 to 3 months as collagen regenerates, with the final result at 3 to 6 months. Results vary by person.
Daily life is possible the same day. Avoid hot saunas for 2 to 3 days, keep skin hydrated and use sunscreen, and avoid rubbing or massaging the area for about a week.

Questions
Does Thermage hurt?
It varies by person, but most people find it tolerable. It is done without sedation, numbing cream can be used if needed, and you may feel warmth or slight stinging during treatment.
Can I fly home the next day?
Daily life is possible from the same day, so a short trip works for most people. Afterward, avoid saunas and jjimjilbang for 2 to 3 days, keep the skin hydrated and protected from the sun, and avoid rubbing or massaging the area for about a week.
When will I see results?
Some lift may be felt right away, but the main change develops over 2 to 3 months as collagen regenerates. The final result is seen at 3 to 6 months.
How long does Thermage last?
Generally 1 to 2 years, depending on your skin and how fast it ages. Collagen keeps regenerating, so the result looks more natural over time, and repeat sessions at suitable intervals help it last longer.
Shurink or Thermage: which should I choose?
Shurink gives a strong immediate lift, and Thermage works through collagen regeneration for longer-term anti-aging. The choice depends on your skin and goal, and the director recommends one at consultation.
Is Thermage radiofrequency or ultrasound?
Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy. Shurink is the ultrasound (HIFU) device at Lahyeon.
Can it be done on the body?
Yes. Lifting treatments at Lahyeon can be used on the abdomen, flanks, upper arms and thighs to improve loose or sagging skin. A program is suggested for each area.
Results vary by person.
