Overview
Thermage is a premium RF tightening treatment often chosen for skin firmness, elasticity, and anti-aging maintenance. In Korean clinics, it is commonly discussed for patients who want tighter, firmer-looking skin without surgery. It is different from ultrasound lifting treatments such as Ultherapy, which are often discussed for deeper lifting. Thermage planning usually depends on shot count, treatment area, skin thickness, and aging pattern.
