This is a guide to Tensharma compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station, Exit 1).
Even if you try massages or devices for home care, sagging often doesn't improve because collagen, the fundamental cause of elasticity, is not effectively addressed by surface management. Let's look at when collagen begins to decrease and which layer Tensharma acts on.
When Does Collagen Start to Decrease?
Collagen generally begins to decrease in production in the late 20s and declines more rapidly after the age of 40. Since it doesn't regenerate significantly with home care, you may notice the progression of sagging. Tensharma not only lifts sagging skin but also addresses collagen regeneration, the root cause.
Depth Reached by Monopolar Method
| Category | Bipolar Method | Monopolar Method |
|---|---|---|
| Area of Action | Relatively superficial | Deep in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer |
| Features | Focuses on shallow layers | Delivers uniformly to deep layers |
Tensharma uses a monopolar method to deliver high-frequency energy not only to the dermis but also deep into the subcutaneous fat layer. It induces collagen regeneration by delivering heat to aged tissues, and its characteristic is that it acts uniformly on both the surface and deep layers.
Safety Features and Pain
- Equipped with various sensors and a cooling system
- The cooling system operates 7 times per shot to lower the temperature
- There is almost no downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily life
While pain varies from person to person, it is generally not severe, which helps in proceeding with peace of mind.
Consult about whether it's right for your elasticity condition
Elasticity and Tone Together
Tensharma stimulates collagen and elastin fibers to improve elasticity and also helps to refine skin tone. You can expect a smoother skin texture as sagging skin is tightened. There are various types of tips, allowing for a customized approach depending on the area to be treated.
Real-time Energy Confirmation
Equipped with impedance matching technology, the amount of energy delivered is checked in real-time with each shot. It works to deliver the target energy. However, the area and number of sessions may vary depending on skin type, so it is advisable to check in advance.
If you are concerned about a sagging face shape, please inquire via consultation chat. Suitability can be confirmed through a consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun.
