How the approach works.
Clair describes radiofrequency energy delivered with surface cooling and vibration. Treatment settings and comfort measures are determined individually; discomfort and skin reactions remain possible.
Understanding the anatomy
AI-generated educational illustrations, not patient photographs or treatment results. Simplified and not to scale; they do not show an individual treatment plan.
A magnified surface view shows fine skin grooves and small openings.
The epidermis sits above the dermis, with subcutaneous fat deeper below. Layer thickness is schematic.
An enlarged schematic view shows collagen bundles and cells within dermal connective tissue.
Radiofrequency and cooling
Clair’s illustrations show tip contact, cooling, radiofrequency delivery and continued cooling. The exact settings and comfort measures are determined individually.
Tip contact
The treatment tip is placed against the skin before energy delivery.
Cooling and vibration
Clair describes cooling and vibration as treatment begins.
Radiofrequency delivery
Radiofrequency energy is delivered while vibration continues.
Continued cooling
The clinic describes continued cooling while treatment proceeds.

Recovery, risks & limits.
Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.
Pain, redness and swelling may occur.
Less frequent reactions include burns, scars, surface irregularities, pigment changes and altered sensation.
Electrical implants are a contraindication in the manufacturer’s safety information. Discuss implants, previous fillers and medical history before treatment.
Your timeline is individual.
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.
If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.

A personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. Discuss your facial features, skin condition and treatment preferences before deciding on a plan.
Your questions, answered.
Is Thermage the same as ultrasound lifting?
No. Thermage uses radiofrequency, while Ultherapy uses ultrasound. The energy type and target tissue differ; suitability requires an individual assessment.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Can I choose the procedure before an examination?
You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.
How is the cost decided?
The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.
What should I disclose before treatment?
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
