Thermage in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Thermage is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment that heats the deeper dermis to tighten collagen and encourage new collagen production, giving a smoother, firmer look over time. It is commonly chosen by adults with early laxity or crepey skin. Thermage is not on our published price list, so availability is confirmed at consultation; our listed monopolar RF option is XERF, 300 shots for ₩990,000 on a first visit (VAT excluded).

What Thermage does
Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency, which passes energy through the skin to heat a relatively large volume of tissue in the dermis and upper fat layer. Heat causes existing collagen fibres to contract and may trigger a longer-term wound-healing response that produces new collagen. A cooling system protects the skin surface during treatment.
Thermage, Thermage FLX and other RF devices
Thermage has been released in several generations; the latest widely known version is Thermage FLX . Other monopolar RF platforms work on a similar principle. At Daybeau Seomyeon the listed monopolar RF treatment is XERF RF skin tightening . Your physician can explain which RF device is available and best suited to your skin.
Who may consider it
- Skin that feels thinner, looser or crepey
- Early softening of the jawline and lower face
- Fine texture changes around the eyes (with suitable tips)
- People who prefer a non-invasive option with little downtime
RF versus ultrasound
RF tends to work through broad, even heating for overall tightening and texture, whereas focused ultrasound such as Ultherapy Prime or HIFU places targeted heat points deeper for lifting. Some treatment plans combine both; see non-surgical face lifting for an overview.
Aftercare
Most people return to daily routines the same day. Keep skin moisturised, use sunscreen and avoid very hot environments briefly if the skin feels warm or sensitive.
Thermage FAQ
Is Thermage available at Daybeau Seomyeon?
Thermage is not on the clinic's published price list, so availability is confirmed during consultation. The clinic's listed monopolar radiofrequency treatment is XERF, which works on a similar principle of deep dermal heating for skin tightening.
What is the difference between Thermage and HIFU?
Thermage uses radiofrequency to heat a broad volume of the dermis for overall tightening and smoother texture. HIFU uses focused ultrasound to create small, deeper heat points aimed at lifting supportive tissue. They are different tools and are sometimes used together.
Does Thermage hurt?
Most people feel brief pulses of deep heat alternating with cooling. Sensitivity varies by area and individual, and energy levels can be adjusted for comfort during treatment.
How long do radiofrequency tightening results last?
Collagen changes develop over several months after treatment. Many people review their skin and consider maintenance after about a year, although natural ageing continues and results vary from person to person.
