Thermage in Sinsa·Cheongdam·Apgujeong | Pladen Skin Clinic Gangnam
Tighter skin, smoother texture, and long-lasting firmness — Thermage is one of Gangnam’s top non-surgical treatments for natural anti-aging and facial lifting.
What Is Thermage?
Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) tightening treatment that heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.
Unlike lasers or HIFU, Thermage targets the
dermal layer, improving elasticity, smoothing fine lines, and lifting mild sagging.
Thermage helps improve:
- Early to moderate skin laxity
- Droopy cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Jawline definition
- Fine lines
- Eyelid and under-eye creasing
- Skin texture and firmness
- Mild neck sagging
It delivers a lifted, refreshed look without injections or downtime.
Why Thermage Is Popular in Gangnam
Sinsa, Cheongdam, and Apgujeong are known for soft, natural facial rejuvenation — never overly tight or obvious.
Thermage fits this perfectly because it:
- Lifts subtly
- Tightens gradually
- Enhances skin quality
- Requires no downtime
- Lasts up to 12–18 months
- Works well for all skin types
- Supports long-term anti-aging
Local patients love that it improves elasticity without changing facial shape or volume.

How Thermage Works
Thermage delivers deep radiofrequency heat into the dermis.
This heat:
- Contracts existing collagen
- Stimulates new collagen growth
- Tightens and firms the skin
- Improves texture and elasticity
Results appear gradually over 8–12 weeks and continue improving for months.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Thermage is a comfortable and efficient procedure.
During the session:
- A cooling tip protects the skin surface
- RF pulses deliver deep heat
- You may feel warmth or “snap” sensations
- Treatment lasts 45–90 minutes
After treatment:
- Mild redness may appear
- No downtime
- Makeup can be applied immediately
- Skin may feel slightly tighter right away
Full tightening builds naturally over time.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
Unlike many lifting treatments, Thermage typically requires:
- 1 session every 12–18 months
- Additional sessions for stronger results depending on age and skin condition
Pladen creates a tailored plan based on your goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Thermage is ideal if you want:
- A firmer, lifted look without injections

Great for patients in their late 20s to 60s.
Aftercare Tips
