Thermage FLX
What is Thermage FLX?
The Thermage FLX system is a non-invasive radiofrequency therapy that can smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger-looking appearance.
Take control of your skin health. Thermage FLX is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that boosts collagen production from the deepest layers. One of the many benefits of Thermage FLX is you can expect little to no social downtime. Most patients are happy to learn that they can return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.
What are the effects?
Thermage FLX can help improve contours on the face and body by softening wrinkles and lines, for a smoother, younger appearance. In fact, Thermage FLX can treat all skin types and a wide range of treatments areas on the face, eyes and body:
Face
– as we age, phrases like “turkey neck”, loose jowls, sagging skin and “what happened to my jawline?” creep in. Thermage can smooth, tighten and contour skin and remodel collagen for an overall younger-looking appearance.
Eyes
– hooding, fine lines, ‘crow’s feet’ and even our brow line can make us look worn-down. Thermage FLX treats the upper and lower eyelids to help reduce wrinkles and decrease ‘hooding’ for a more awakened look.
Body
– ageing doesn’t just affect the skin on our faces, our bodies see the effects too, with crepey, sagging skin. Thermage FLX can address skin laxity in many parts of the body including abdomen, legs, arms, neck and décollatage.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Thermage FLX system incorporates vibration on the face and body treatments, which has been shown to provide patient comfort. You will feel a brief heating sensation when the treatment device’s tip touches your skin, followed by a cooling sensation to help protect your skin and minimize any discomfort. Throughout the procedure, your physician will ask for feedback on the level of heat sensation to help balance your comfort with maximum results. Some patients may feel a mild or moderate pain during the treatment. After treatment, your skin may be slightly red, but most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment. There’s typically little to no recovery time, and no special follow-up care required.
Some patients have temporary redness or minor swelling after treatment, and this usually goes away within 24 hours.
Most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment. No special care is required afterward, aside from basic skin maintenance and sunscreens as part of a regular skincare regimen.

As a general guide Thermage FLX face treatments may take 30-45 minutes, and larger body areas may take up to 90 minutes. Unlike many other treatments Thermage FLX doesn’t require numbing, which itself can take up to an hour prior to the treatment.
Some people want the dramatic results of surgery. Others want the more subtle, gradual results of a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime.
