Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does it take to get Thermage FLX in Busan?
- The Thermage FLX procedure time is 30 to 60 minutes based on the entire face. For 600 shots, it takes approximately 40 minutes, and including the numbing cream application time, you can expect about 90 minutes total per visit.
- How long do the effects of Thermage FLX last?
- The effects of Thermage FLX generally last 1 to 2 years. As collagen regenerates after the procedure, elasticity gradually improves over 2 to 3 months, and retreatment is often performed once per year (on a 1-year cycle). During a consultation in Seomyeon, Busan, your current skin condition and treatment goals are reviewed to discuss individual suitability.
- Is daily life possible immediately after Thermage FLX?
- Thermage FLX is a non-invasive procedure that allows an immediate return to daily activities on the day of the procedure. Redness and mild warmth may remain for a few hours immediately after the procedure, but most disappear within the same day. Makeup is also possible on the day of the procedure.
- How is pain management handled?
- Thermage FLX is performed with a cooling system on the tip surface (Cooling Tip) protecting the epidermis, and momentary heat-focused stimulation is felt. STAR Dermatology in Busan Seomyeon operates regional numbing cream, cooling, and sleep anesthesia options as needed together.
- Why get Thermage FLX at STAR Dermatology in Busan Seomyeon?
- Representative Director Dr. Shi-hyung Cho of STAR Dermatology in Busan Seomyeon serves as an official advisor for Thermage FLX and has over 20 years of clinical experience as a dermatologist. All Thermage procedures are performed directly by a board-certified dermatologist who adjusts the number of shots and intensity.
- Which is right for me between Thermage FLX and XERF?
- Thermage FLX is considered for general elasticity improvement over a large area, while XERF is considered when strong contraction of localized areas such as the jawline or cheeks is needed. Thermage FLX uniformly heats the entire dermal layer with monopolar radiofrequency, and XERF intensively irradiates high-intensity RF. Since the choice between the two procedures depends on stiffness/skin thickness and fat volume, it is recommended to decide after a consultation.
