Thermagen Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of treatment is Thermagen?
Thermagen is a treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) thermal energy to address sagging skin, such as along the jawline and around the mouth. It does not involve any incisions and is designed to tighten the skin and improve firmness and elasticity.
What types of sagging skin is Thermagen suitable for?
Thermagen is ideal for those concerned about sagging along the jawline, loose skin around the mouth, or a face that appears larger than it actually is. We determine the treatment area and method based on the degree of sagging.
How is the Thermagen treatment administered at YAYOI CLINIC?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we use “targeted treatment,” which focuses on specific areas of concern. Rather than treating the entire face uniformly, we assess the degree of sagging and determine the best treatment approach accordingly.
Does Thermagen hurt?
Thermagen is a treatment that uses high-frequency waves to generate heat, but the level of discomfort experienced varies from person to person. At YAYOI CLINIC, our highly skilled nurses perform the treatment, adjusting the intensity based on your skin condition and comfort level.
What is the difference between Thermagen and HIFU?
The difference lies in the fact that Thermagen targets the dermis and the superficial layers of the subcutaneous tissue, while HIFU primarily targets the subcutaneous tissue and the SMAS layer. Thermagen uses radiofrequency (RF), while HIFU uses high-intensity focused ultrasound; each aims to achieve skin tightening by targeting different layers.
Does Thermagen also improve skin firmness and elasticity?
Thermagen is used not only to treat sagging but also to firm the skin, with a focus on firmness and elasticity.
At YAYOI CLINIC, we use our own unique treatment method to provide treatments tailored to each patient's skin condition.
Can Thermagen be combined with other treatments?
Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer treatments that combine Thermagen and Super HIFU, among others. Depending on the degree of sagging, we may also consider combining multiple treatments to target different layers of the skin.
What kind of downtime is associated with Thermagen?
With Thermagen, there is a rare possibility of burns, redness, a sensation of heat, or swelling at the treatment site. Since the severity of symptoms varies from person to person, please consult a doctor if you experience any concerning symptoms after the procedure.
How many Thermagen treatments do you usually get?
The number of sessions and the intervals between them for Thermagen vary depending on the treatment details and the condition of your skin. At YAYOI CLINIC, after assessing the degree of sagging, we offer recommendations that include not only standalone treatments but also combinations with other procedures.
What is the difference between Thermagen and Volnuma?
The main difference is that Thermagen targets the dermis and the superficial layers of the subcutaneous tissue, while Volnuma targets the dermis and the entire subcutaneous tissue. Although both use radiofrequency (RF), they differ in the depth they target and the characteristics of the devices.
