Kkeut Clinic Tenssarma Lifting

Principle of High-Frequency Lifting

Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) Lifting is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes resistance heat generated by passing an electrical current through the skin.

The generated thermal energy reaches the collagen fibers in the skin's dermis and is heated to a temperature of 60-70 degrees Celsius. This action can immediately induce collagen contraction and activates fibroblasts to help produce new collagen and elastin.

Immediately after treatment: The collagen fibers in the dermis contract, which can lead to immediate improvement in elasticity.

Weeks later: A natural recovery process occurs after heat-induced damage. Through this process, new collagen is generated, which can help sustain the lifting effect.

Therefore, this treatment is characterized by the expectation of gradual effects along with immediate changes.

Monopolar vs. Bipolar

High-frequency lifting treatments can be broadly divided into monopolar and bipolar methods.

Monopolar Method: Delivers energy to the deep layers of the skin, which may be more suitable for improving a double chin, jawline, and softening nasolabial folds, among others.

Bipolar Method: Primarily acts on the superficial layers of the skin, offering benefits for skin texture refinement, pore reduction, and fine wrinkle improvement.

It is important to select the appropriate device, considering factors such as individual skin thickness, fat distribution, and skin sensitivity.

Tenssarma vs. Oligio

Many people often wonder about the differences between Tenssarma and Oligio.

Both devices utilize monopolar high-frequency energy, but there are several differences in their actual design and operating methods.

1. Impedance Check (Skin Resistance Measurement)

Oligio measures impedance once at the beginning of the treatment and then applies energy at the same intensity to all areas.

Tenssarma, on the other hand, measures the skin's impedance with each shot and automatically adjusts the output energy.

This approach is similar to Thermage and helps reduce errors that can arise from differences in skin resistance across areas, leading to more consistent and stable thermal energy delivery.

Overall, Tenssarma operates on a principle similar to Thermage, focusing on high energy delivery, while Oligio is seen to have the advantage of better accessibility.

2. Tip Size

Tenssarma's treatment tip has a larger surface area compared to Oligio or Thermage tips.

A larger tip surface area allows for intensive energy delivery to a wider area with a single shot.

Based on the same 300-shot count, Tenssarma may deliver more total energy than Oligio.

This can contribute to deeper and more lasting treatment results.

3. Epidermal Cooling Intensity

In monopolar RF treatments, the cooling function that protects the epidermis plays a crucial role in enhancing treatment safety.

Tenssarma features a more enhanced cooling system compared to Oligio.

Thanks to this feature, even individuals with thin or sensitive skin can receive high-energy treatments relatively comfortably.

Features of Ggeut Han Clinic TenTherma Lifting

Feature 1. Energy Intensity Design – Research Paper-Based Threshold Energy

Rather than vague criteria like simply "not too hot," we apply a treatment protocol based on objective research papers and clinical data.

This is based on delivering more than 0.07kJ per shot and a total of more than 40kJ to design the treatment, ensuring the use of energy above the minimum threshold required for collagen remodeling.

Within a range where the patient does not feel discomfort, we aim to maximize treatment effectiveness while minimizing pain.

Feature 2: Personalized Design

Beyond simply improving skin elasticity,

We consult with the director to create a personalized design, addressing concerns such as facial asymmetry, specific problem areas, or areas with prominent loss of elasticity.

Through a design that delicately considers each individual's facial structure, we aim for more natural and balanced lifting results.

Feature 3: Design Grid and Super Pass Overlapping Method

TenTherma treatment first utilizes a design grid to systematically divide the treatment area.

Then, the Super Pass (Super Pass) technique is used.

This allows for safe, overlapping delivery of thermal energy to the necessary areas.

This helps to precisely build up the effect while avoiding unnecessary overheating, allowing for improved elasticity that can last for a longer time.

This means a lifting process that is not a random energy delivery method, but a strategic thermal layering for lifting.

Feature 4: Transparency Through Quantitative Verification After Treatment

After every treatment, we directly show and confirm the exact number of shots used with the patient.

This is our effort to provide trustworthy treatment and a transparent process.

Benefits of the Treatment

An effective cooling system reduces pain during treatment.

Checking the impedance for each shot enhances the safety of the treatment.

Using a wide-area tip delivers efficient energy to the skin and helps the effects last longer.

A non-invasive treatment method generally does not require anesthesia and has a short recovery period.

Consider this treatment if you:

Wish to improve specific areas such as the forehead, glabella (frown lines), or nasolabial folds.

Are concerned about overall facial lifting and skin elasticity.

Desire improvement in enlarged pores or uneven skin texture.

Need improvement in a blurred jawline due to a double chin or similar concerns.

Are looking for deep skin elasticity improvement and are considering the cost.

Wish for a quick return to daily life and find surgery or injectable treatments burdensome.

Post-Treatment Precautions

If your skin is thin, temporary redness in the shape of the tip marks may appear on the treated area. This usually fades gradually within 1-2 weeks.

Occasionally, symptoms such as redness, burning sensation, throbbing, swelling, toothache, or tooth sensitivity may occur, but most tend to subside within 1-2 weeks.
