With just one treatment, Thermage FLX can deliver instant, long-lasting, natural-looking skin tightening for the face, eyes and body. Reveal the real you – no injections, no surgery, minimal to no downtime.
What is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is the OG of non-surgical skin tightening – this world-leading technology pioneered the science behind non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) energy for skin tightening. To date, there have been more than 2.5 million Thermage treatments performed around the world, 50+ published studies attesting to its safety and efficacy, and more than 70 patents issued.
Thermage FLX uses monopolar RF to heat the deeper, collagen-rich layers of skin. This stimulates existing collagen and promotes new collagen growth, tightening and toning skin for a natural-looking, more youthful and contoured appearance.
The treatment itself involves a handpiece that delivers RF energy at a specific temperature to the targeted area, which produces both immediate and longer-term effects. You should be able to see an immediate noticeable improvement in the texture and tone of your skin, with a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging, as the existing collagen fibres tighten and contract. However, the most significant and long-lasting results from Thermage come from the stimulation of new collagen production. Over the next several months, as new collagen is produced, the skin continues to become tighter and smoother. Results can last for years, depending on your skin condition and natural ageing process.
One of the best things about Thermage is that it’s a customisable treatment. Your provider can adjust the intensity and duration of the treatment to meet your individual needs and goals. Whether you want to tighten the skin on your face, eyes or other areas of your body, Thermage can help you achieve the long-lasting results you’re looking for.
Thermage FLX treatment has an excellent safety profile and a long history of efficacy, making it a popular choice for patients who want to improve skin laxity and tone without undergoing surgery or more invasive procedures.
What does Thermage FLX treat?
In one treatment, Thermage FLX helps to smooth and tighten skin for a younger looking appearance, without surgery or injections, and works on all skin types and colours any time of the year.
More specifically, Thermage FLX tightens the skin to help improve the contours of the face and/or body, softening the look of lines and wrinkles, smoothing the appearance of crepey skin and improving facial and skin laxity.
Treatment areas include:
FACE

EYES
Reduces wrinkles, improves look of crow’s feet; decreases “hooding” for a more awake and refreshed look; eyes appear more open and lifted; under eye bags are reduced.
BODY
Improves skin laxity on areas such as the abdomen and legs; smooths appearance of crepey skin.
Before and After treatment with Thermage FLX
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Thermage FLX treatment feel like?
Thermage FLX is typically well tolerated. You’ll feel a brief heating sensation when the treatment device’s tip touches your skin, followed by a cooling sensation to help minimise any discomfort. If you feel it is too hot at certain points, the treatment level can be adjusted to enhance comfort while still ensuring efficacy. Additionally, vibration is available for face and body treatments to relieve any discomfort using the distraction technique. This vibration level can also be adjusted to minimise discomfort.
Thermage vs Thermage FLX: what’s the difference?
Thermage FLX is the latest version of the original Thermage system, which was introduced in the early 2000s. Thermage FLX boasts enhanced patient comfort and experience, improved customisation for each person’s unique needs. Thermage FLX can utilise a 4cm2 tip making treatments up to 25% faster than the smaller tip on previous generations.
How long will results last?
For most patients, measurable results appear gradually in the two to six months following a single treatment session and can last for 1-2 years depending on your skin condition and natural ageing process.
How many treatments will I need?
Unlike many cosmetic procedures requiring multiple sessions, Thermage FLX can deliver results after a single treatment. Treatment time is between 25 and 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Is there any downtime with Thermage FLX?
There is typical little to no downtime after Thermage FLX treatment and you can usually resume your everyday activities immediately after.
What about side effects?
You may experience temporary redness or minor swelling after treatment, but this usually goes away within 24 hours.
