이 치료에 대해

Thermage FLX uses 6.78MHz monopolar RF to deliver volumetric heating from dermis to subcutaneous fat. FLX generation features AccuREP technology that measures impedance in real-time for automatic energy optimization.

Delivers both immediate collagen contraction and months of neocollagenesis in a single treatment.

작용 기전

RF current at 6.78MHz generates frictional heat via tissue impedance, raising dermal temperature to 65-75°C. This causes collagen triple helix denaturation/contraction (immediate tightening). Subsequent wound healing produces new type I collagen, with remodeling continuing over 6 months.

적응증

처짐·윤곽일반 적응증(상세 설명 참고)바디 컨투어링·슬리밍

기대 효과

Immediate tightening + peak results at 2-6 months. Clinical trials show 87% of patients rated as "improved." Results last 1-2 years.

AccuREP Titration System

파라미터: Frequency: 6.78MHz, Energy Levels: 0-4 (patient feedback-based)

대상 부위: Full face, jawline, neck, décolletage

주의사항: Real-time impedance monitoring ensures optimal energy delivery. Patient feedback guides titration from Level 0 to Level 4.
