Tensema
A 5th-generation monopolar RF lifting device that delivers high-frequency energy directly to the dermis to regenerate collagen. A cooling gas system protects the epidermis from burns while ensuring safe and effective treatment.
What it is
| What it is | 10THERMA is a 5th-generation monopolar radiofrequency (RF) lifting device that precisely delivers RF energy to the dermal layer to induce collagen regeneration and contraction. With a maximum output of 400W, it delivers thermal energy of 40–60°C deep into the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer, triggering tissue remodeling and stimulating new collagen production. Equipped with a proprietary S.T.C cooling mechanism and precision temperature sensor, it minimizes the risk of burns and reduces discomfort while cooling the epidermis. As a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment, patients can return to daily activities immediately after the procedure. It is a KFDA-approved device with verified efficacy and safety. |

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the Tensema procedure take?
- The Tensema procedure takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on the area, and same-day return to daily life is possible without a recovery period. At Star Dermatology in Seomyeon, Busan, suitability is discussed after a careful review of your skin condition and treatment plan.
- How many Tensema sessions should I get?
- Tensema is a management-oriented procedure where effects become pronounced when performed in a series of 3 to 5 sessions at 2 to 4 week intervals. After completing the series, maintenance treatments at 1 to 2 month intervals are recommended.
- How long do the effects of Tensema last?
- The effects of Tensema typically last for 3 to 6 months based on completion of the series. It is a device suitable for consistent cumulative management rather than a single high-intensity procedure.
- Can I choose Tensema instead of Thermage FLX?
- If you want regular elasticity management while lowering budget and pain burden, Tensema is suitable, and if you want strong improvement with one treatment (1 session), Thermage FLX is suitable. Rather than being substitute relationships, the two procedures are options with different intensities and intervals.
