Thermage lifting for skin sagging and wrinkles caused by aging

This is because, unlike the dry and dull winter season, the summer season is greatly affected by factors that promote skin aging, such as strong UV rays, rising temperatures, and disruption of skin oil and moisture balance due to high humidity.

Since skin is one of the body's organs, aging is a natural phenomenon. Aging generally begins after the mid-20s and gradually accelerates from the 30s onward.

Although there are individual differences in the speed of aging, ultraviolet rays, frequent changes in facial expression, drinking, smoking, irregular eating habits, and lifestyle habits are external factors that can be modified that accelerate aging. 

Therefore, no matter how healthy your skin is, you should not let down your guard, look for ways to slow down skin aging, and pay attention to daily skin care.

According to Kang Minji, director of JAYJUN Dermatology, there are a lot of people trying to improve sagging skin and deep wrinkles due to skin aging recently. Most of these people have neglected their skin care or have habits that accelerate skin aging.

In summer, when UV rays are strong, it is best to apply sunscreen before going out and avoid UV rays as much as possible during the day.

If the wrinkles are too deep and the skin is sagging, it is a good idea to try medical treatment. Sagging or deepened wrinkles can make you look older than you really are, and can cause you to feel less confident in everyday life.

Director Kang chose lifting as a way to improve this. Lifting is largely divided into invasive and non-invasive. Recently, the demand for non-invasive lifting is increasing, one of which is Thermage lifting.

Thermage lifting uses high-frequency heat energy directly on the skin to shrink aged collagen and stimulate the production of new collagen. The high-frequency heat energy generated from a device called Thermage is effective in improving sagging skin and fine wrinkles. It is mainly used on the face, but in some cases, it can be used on the entire body, including the neck, arms, and legs.

Director Kang Minji explains, "The advantage of Thermage lifting is that it regenerates skin elasticity, lasts longer than thread lifting, and recovery is faster. It is most often used in cases where wrinkles around the eyes or mouth are severe and the entire face looks saggy due to sagging jowls." 

In addition, Dr. Kang added, “As Thermage lifting is a procedure that must be performed in detail by a surgeon, it is best to receive sufficient consultation in advance with a specialist with extensive lifting experience.”
