What are the side effects of Thermage?
Temporary redness, mild heat sensation, and, rarely, temporary swelling may occur. Most cases recover naturally within a short period, but if unusual reactions persist, a medical consultation is recommended as results may vary.
What is Ultherapy Thermage?
Thermage uses monopolar RF, while Ultherapy uses HIFU technology, so their mechanisms are different. The depth of penetration and stimulation methods vary, so the choice depends on your improvement goals.
How can I find a recommended clinic for Thermage in Gangnam?
