Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of Thermage?

Thermage delivers radiofrequency energy to the dermis to stimulate collagen production, and may improve skin elasticity and facial contours. As the procedure requires no incision, recovery burden tends to be minimal. The degree of results may vary depending on individual skin condition.

How much does Thermage cost?

Based on Abijou Myeongdong, Thermage FLX ranges from ₩990,000 to ₩2,790,000 depending on configuration, and starts from ₩2,880,000 when combined with Ultherapy Prime. For accurate pricing by product, please refer to the price list.

(Non-covered services / VAT not included)

What are the side effects of Thermage?

Temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort may occur immediately after the procedure and typically subside within a short period. Rarely, burn marks may remain at the contact point of the tip, making the skill of the medical professional performing the procedure important. Individual responses may vary depending on skin condition.

What is Ultherapy + Thermage?

This refers to a combined treatment configuration where Ultherapy and Thermage are performed together, using ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) simultaneously to stimulate both the fascia layer and dermis. Based on Abijou pricing, the Ultherapy Prime 300 shots + Thermage FLX 600 shots configuration starts from ₩2,880,000.

(Non-covered services / VAT not included)

Can Thermage and Ultherapy be done together?

As the two procedures work at different depths, they are often performed together as a combined configuration. When combining treatments, consultation to coordinate treatment priorities by area and recovery schedule is recommended.

How long does a Thermage procedure take?

Depending on the shot count and treatment area, the procedure typically takes 20–60 minutes. Larger configurations, such as 900 shots, may require extended time.

How much discomfort is there with Thermage?

A numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort. However, pain sensitivity varies from person to person.

How long do Thermage results last?

Due to the collagen remodeling process, results appear gradually, and the duration of effects may vary depending on individual skin aging rate and skincare habits.

What is the recovery period for Thermage?

As the procedure is non-incisional, most patients can return to daily activities on the day of treatment, and temporary redness or swelling often subsides within about a week.

Can men undergo Thermage?

Regardless of gender, the procedure can be performed after consultation if sagging or reduced elasticity is present. Tip settings may be adjusted depending on skin thickness and hair density.

How does Eye Thermage FLX differ from standard Thermage?

Eye Thermage FLX uses an eye-specific tip to precisely treat narrow areas around the eyes. The 225-shot configuration costs ₩1,000,000 and the 450-shot configuration costs ₩1,800,000, and are offered separately from full-face configurations.

(Non-covered services / VAT not included)

When should I choose the 900-shot Thermage configuration?

The 900-shot configuration may be considered when sagging spans a broad area or when more intensive improvement is desired. Based on Abijou pricing, the 900-shot configuration costs ₩2,790,000.

(Non-covered services / VAT not included)

How does Thermage differ from Volnewmer and Density RF Lifting?

Volumizer and Density RF Lifting are often classified as ultrasound-based lifting devices, so their mechanisms of action differ from Thermage, which uses radiofrequency technology. For an accurate comparison, it is recommended to consult with a specialist who can assess your skin condition and determine the most suitable device during your consultation.

What is the recommended interval between Thermage treatments?

Since collagen remodeling occurs gradually, the interval for repeat treatment may vary depending on your individual skin changes and consultation results.
