Thermage FLX in Jamsil, Seoul: RF Skin Tightening
The short answer

The device is made by Solta Medical in the USA, and a repeat can be considered at 6 to 12 months if needed.
Key facts

How does Thermage tighten skin?
Radiofrequency passes through the skin surface and warms the dermis to a controlled temperature. Warmed collagen tightens at once to a small degree, and the tissue then remodels over the following weeks. That is why the visible effect comes on gradually and not in a single afternoon.
Which areas are suited?
- Fine wrinkles and crepey skin around the eyes
- Mild to moderate laxity across the face
- Skin that has lost bounce, without needing deep lifting
