Thermage(Thermage) as a “green tree” in the non-intrusive resistance field, maintains high heat levels globally. The Republic of Korea, on the other hand, has become the preferred destination for manybeauty seekersexperienceThermageabroad, based on advancedmedical aestheticstechnologies and relatively reasonable prices].
Before leaving, however, three core issues need to be clarified:Are all five generations in Korea? How do you verify that your own work is authentic? So many hospitals in Korea, which one?
This paper will answer these questions one by one, with detailed authentication methods and recommended lists of six Korean hospitalspopularThermage to help you avoid traps and select pairs.
Is KoreaThermageof five generations? Intergenerational resolution
1. Five generations are mainstream but not unique
First of all, there is a fact:Korea is not all five generations.I don't know.
The most common thing on the market isFourth Generation andFifth Generation FLX I don't know.Thermage 5th Generation(FLX) is the latest model introduced by Solta Medical, which is widely available in the Republic of Koreacertifiedmedical aesthetic clinic and is the dominant choice in the current market. However, some agencies may still use four generations of equipment, especially smaller or slower-to-use clinics.
Core differences between five generations (FLX) and four generations (CPT):
The comforts have increased dramatically.Five generations equipped with fully intelligent vibrating skin cooling that can effectively reduce skin surface temperature during treatment,It's a lot less painful.And don't even need anaesthetic.
The treatment is faster.The first five generations of treatment are larger, the same facial areas require lessshots— the fourth generation requires 1,200 rounds, the fifth generation requires only 900 rounds, and the pain is 300 times less.
Treatment depth optimizationThermage 5th GenerationThe depth of treatment has been increased to up to 4.3 mm, with energy working in deeper tissues.
The device looks different.: The original five-generation base colour is gradient ash, the key is attached to the border and the open interface supports multi-linguistic switching.
A special reminder.If you find out during your consultations that a hospital is intergenerational and vaguely saying, “We useThermage”, it is recommended to be vigilant.certifiedThe institution will clearly advise that the equipment is being used for generationsBecause it is directly related to treatment effectiveness and experience.
The expression “six generations”
The so-called “six generations[Thermage]”, which is currently being circulated on the market, is not recognized by the mainstream medical community.ThermageThe latest official model remainsFifth-generation FLXI don't know. If someone sells "six generations" to you, extra care needs to be taken — most likely marketing or non-certifiedequipment.
II.ThermagePrototype certification method: 4-step authentication, not required
According to industry reports, the proportion of equipmentThermagein circulation on the market is quite high with regard to the presence of false goods.The fakes are not only ineffective, but may also cause skin burns due to the lack of energy control.I don't know.
How, then, can you ensure that what you do is authentic? Here's what happened.Officially certified four-dimensional authentication process:
Step 1: Certification authority qualifications
Attention toThermageOfficial Microphones "Thermage Beauty" , click the 4D Truth menu at the bottom, select “Professional Institution Query” I don't know. Enter the name of the institution and confirm whether the hospital is on the official authorization list.
The Chinese Embassy in Korea also suggested thatBefore going to Koreamedical aestheticsthe Medical Association of the Republic of Korea plastic surgery department can check whether the hospital is registered and whether the doctor is professional.
Step two: Verification of medical qualifications
In the same 4D Truth menu, select “Professional Query” Confirms whether the operator has received official training and holds certified qualifications throughThermage.Not all doctors can handle it.- The precision control of equipment energy requires specialized training.
Step three: Validation equipment
After arriving at the hospital,Requesting site scan to verify equipmentI don't know. The only trace code is on the originalThermage 5th Generation(FLX) device. It's through the official public. "Real equipment authentication" The 2-dimensional scan will show which hospital purchased the device.
The obvious details of the naked eye.:
The original device opens an interface to support multi-language switching, and there may be a single interface language or a translation error
The original fuselage has theThermageLotus logo, and then the othermage icon.
The buttons are right next to the border, and the ones that don't.
Step 4: Verifying the authenticity of the probe
This is the most crucial step.I don't know.ThermageThe probe is one-off,Not repeatedI don't know.
Request to unsealed face to face: request a nurse before treatmentUnsealed face-to-face with a new spy package
Scanning Authentication: scan the two-dimensional code on the package with an official public number, the authentic will show "New unused" Status, and 2-D code will expire immediately after validation, and no secondary scan is possible
Check the packaging.: Printed fine, full-stamped coating and clearly marked valid; contained precision chips inside the slot, achieved "One-on-one" automatically locked.
Check the probe itself.: A visible othermage icon on the head of the authentic probe, sealed. See if there's a black spot on the yellow chip on the head -- if so, it means it's used.
Three words for the meeting.:
"Can you turn on the public now and check your agency and doctor's authorization?"
"Can the equipment and the scouts be able to do an on-site scan?"
“Can you unsealed the probe in person before the treatment and confirm that Total Pulses is the same as the one I purchased?”
If the other party is vague, diverts the subject, or refuses to verify on-site — leave immediately.

Return to the original question:Korea.Five generations of FLX are the mainstream, but four generations of CPT still exist in some institutions. This post is part of our special coverage Korea Protests 2011.The choice of a hospital is as important as the authentication.I don't know.

At the same time, according to their own budget, location preferences and treatment needs, the six above-mentioned hospitals were selected from among the most suitable institutions.
It's good to be beautiful, but...Safety always comes first.
