Tenssorma Lifting

How RF Lifting Works

Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) Lifting is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes resistive heating generated by currents flowing within the skin.

The generated thermal energy raises collagen fibers in the skin's dermis to 60~70 degrees Celsius to induce immediate elasticity improvement. Simultaneously, it activates fibroblasts to help produce new collagen and elastin.

Immediately after treatment: Collagen in the dermal layer contracts, leading to an immediate improvement in elasticity.

Weeks later: New collagen is generated during the recovery process from thermal stimulation, which can gradually enhance the lifting effect.

In summary, this procedure offers immediate responses and long-term improvements simultaneously.

Differences Between Monopolar and Bipolar

RF lifting devices can be divided into Monopolar method and Bipolar method types.

Monopolar Method: Delivers energy to the deeper layers of the skin, which can be useful for improving volume in areas like double chin, jawline, and nasolabial folds.

Bipolar Method: Primarily acts on the skin's surface, focusing on superficial improvements such as skin texture, pores, and fine lines.

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

Tenssorma vs. Oligio Comparison

Many people are curious about the differences between Tenssorma and Oligio treatments.

Both devices use monopolar high-frequency energy, but they show several differences in their operating principles and internal structures.

1. Impedance (Resistance) Measurement Method

In the case of Oligio, impedance is measured once at the beginning of the treatment, and the same standard is then applied to all treated areas.

Tenssorma measures impedance in real-time with each shot to adjust energy.

This method is applied similarly to Thermage. It therefore reduces errors caused by skin resistance in different areas, allowing for the delivery of more consistent and stable thermal energy.

In conclusion, Tenssorma aims for a sophisticated control method similar to Thermage, while Oligio can be described as having a different approach.

2. Treatment Tip Area

Tenssorma tips have a larger area compared to Oligio and Thermage tips.

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

Therefore, even when performing the same number of shots, Tenssorma can show a difference in the total amount of energy delivered due to the tip's surface area.

This can lead to satisfactory results through dense energy delivery.

3. Degree of Epidermal Cooling

In monopolar RF procedures, adequate cooling of the epidermis is a crucial factor in ensuring safety during the procedure.

Tenssorma's cooling system is robustly designed.

Thanks to this cooling function, even those with thin or sensitive skin can consider treatment at an appropriate intensity while minimizing discomfort.

Features of Tenssorma Lifting

1. Appropriate Intensity Design: Energy Application Based on Research Papers

Treatment intensity is set based on protocols derived from academic papers and clinical data, rather than abstract standards like "not too hot."

More than 0.07kJ per shot, and more than 40kJ total of energy delivery is targeted, ensuring that sufficient appropriate energy for collagen remodeling is delivered.

This focuses on minimizing pain and maximizing efficacy within an individual's tolerable range.

2. Second Feature: Customized Design

Not simply for the purpose of tightening the skin,

facial asymmetry, specific areas of concern, or areas with reduced elasticity are consulted with the doctor to create a customized treatment plan.

Designs that delicately consider each individual's facial structure allow you to expect a natural yet balanced lifting effect.

Third Feature: Design Grid and Super Pass Overlap Method

During Tenstherma treatment, a design grid is used to systematically delineate the treatment area.

Then, the Super Pass technique is applied,

safely overlapping and accumulating thermal energy in the necessary areas.

This method reduces unnecessary overheating and precisely builds up treatment effects, aiming for longer-lasting elasticity.

In other words, it is not random energy delivery, but rather a strategically synergistic lifting treatment.

Fourth Feature: Ensuring Transparency with Post-Treatment Quantity Verification

After all treatments are completed, we guide patients so they can directly verify the actual number of shots used.

We strive to provide a transparent and reliable treatment process.

Key Benefits of the Treatment

A powerful cooling system can reduce the burden of pain.

Impedance checks with each shot enhance the stability of the treatment.

Using a large tip allows for deep stimulation and considers the sustainability of treatment effects.

As a non-invasive method, treatment is possible without separate anesthesia, reducing the burden of recovery time.

Cases Where Treatment Can Be Considered

Those who desire improvement in specific areas such as forehead, glabella, or nasolabial folds

Those concerned about overall facial lifting and loss of elasticity

Those who expect improvement in pores and skin texture

Those considering double chin improvement

Those who expect results comparable to specific lifting procedures but are considering the cost aspect

Those who hope for a quick return to daily life and have a psychological burden regarding surgery or injection procedures

Post-Treatment Precautions

For those with thin skin, redness in the shape of tip marks may appear on the treated area for 1-2 weeks, and this tends to disappear naturally.

Occasionally, redness, burning sensation, throbbing, swelling, or pain/sensitivity in the teeth area may occur, but these symptoms typically subside within 1-2 weeks.
