What is Thermage FLX?

Thermage FLX is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment that uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat deeper layers of the skin. The heat stimulates collagen remodeling and new collagen production, which can make skin appear firmer, smoother, and tighter over time.

Thermage FLX uses capacitive RF to precisely heat the dermis (up to 4.3mm deep), causing immediate collagen tightening and long-term remodeling. The Total Tip design (4.0cm² coverage) speeds treatment by 25%, with vibration for comfort. At DORE clinic,

1.Have mild to moderate skin sagging on the face, neck, eyelids, or body.

2.Notice early signs of aging, such as loose skin, fine lines, or reduced skin elasticity.

3.Want a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime.

Who may not be an ideal candidate?

Thermage FLX may be less suitable for people who:

Have severe skin laxity or significant sagging that would be better treated with a surgical facelift or neck lift.

Expect immediate or dramatic lifting.

Have certain implanted electronic medical devices (such as some pacemakers) or other contraindications, which should be discussed with their physician before treatment.

Best age range

While there is no strict age limit, Thermage FLX is often most effective for adults in their 30s to 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity. Some younger patients also choose it as a preventive collagen-stimulating treatment.

Skin Changes After Thermage FLX

The table shows a comparison of various skin characteristics (TEWL, hydration, elasticity, density, fine lines, and pore number) between a test group and a control group, with statistical significance noted for all changes observed after two and four weeks post-procedure.

AI 생성 콘텐츠는 정확하지 않을 수 있습니다. Clinical evaluation demonstrated significant improvements in multiple skin quality parameters following Thermage treatment. Compared with baseline, patients experienced progressive enhancement in skin hydration, firmness, texture, and pore appearance over the weeks after treatment.

Most skin parameters showed statistically significant improvements compared with the control group, including TEWL, hydration, skin density, fine lines, skin texture, and pore appearance. Improvement in skin elasticity was observed but did not reach statistical significance versus the control group in this study.

Thermage FLX stimulates the body's natural collagen remodeling process, resulting in gradual improvements in skin quality over several weeks.

Clinical findings suggest benefits including:

Stronger skin barrier function

Improved hydration

Firmer and denser skin

Better skin texture

Fewer visible fine lines

Refined pores
