Is Thermage okay even if I don't have much facial fat? I'm worried about the elasticity of my jawline haha.

I was looking into lifting procedures, and this time I became curious about Thermage!

My face itself is on the slim side, but strangely, I'm only self-conscious about the area under my chin.

I looked into InMode and Shurink because of my double chin, but the more I researched, the more I realized that reducing fat and managing skin elasticity are different issues.

I don't want my whole face to lose volume; I just want the area around my jawline to become a little firmer haha.

So I'm looking into Thermage, and I'm wondering if it's worth getting a consultation even for someone who doesn't have much facial fat.

Could we determine during a consultation whether the lump under the chin is due to fat or skin elasticity?

Also, I understand that Thermage uses radio frequency, but I am curious to know how it differs from InMode or Shurink, even though they are also lifting procedures!

As a nurse, my work schedule tends to be irregular, so I would also like to know how much swelling or redness can occur after the procedure.

If I want to manage only jawline elasticity without drastically changing my face shape, what criteria should I use when choosing a procedure?

써마지는 얼굴살이 많지 않아도 괜찮을까요? 턱선 탄력이 고민이에요ㅎㅎ

  • 얼굴 전체 볼륨은 지키면서 턱선만 정리하고 싶은 마음 너무 이해돼요. 지방인지 탄력인지 헷갈리는 부분이라 저도 궁금해지네요.
  • 얼굴살이 많지 않고 볼패임이 걱정되시는 편이라면 써마지 같은 고주파(RF) 리프팅이 좋은 선택지가 될 수 있어요. 슈링크(초음파)가 깊은 근막층을 조이고 인모드 FX가 지방을 줄이는 데 초점이 맞춰져 있다면, 써마지는 진피층 콜라겐을 타이트닝시켜 피부를 쫀쫀하게 밀착시키는 방식이라 볼륨 감소 걱정이 덜합니다. 시술 직후 미세한 붉은기는 반나절 내외로 가라앉고 멍이나 붓기가 거의 없어 교대 근무 중에도 일상생활에 지장이 없으실 거예요. 원장님 상담 시 턱 밑 부위가 지방인지 피부 탄력 저하인지 직접 짚어보시고, 볼 꺼짐 없이 턱선 위주로 디자인해 달라고 말씀해 보세요!
