Thermage Program

Innovative skin tightening and wrinkle reduction without surgery

Get to know “Thermage FLX program”

Thermage is a skin tightening technology that uses radiofrequency (RF) waves to penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate new collagen production. This results in firmer and tighter skin, such as reducing wrinkles around the eyes, lifting eyebrows, smoothing nasolabial folds, defining the jawline, reducing double chin, and tightening loose skin on the arms, legs, and abdomen. This technology is certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its high safety standards.

Thermage FLX : The Latest Innovation

Currently, the new Thermage technology has been developed into the Thermage FLX Generation 4, which differs from the previous Thermage models as follows:

• Delivers deeper energy penetration with the new Total Tip 4.0, which helps transmit energy deep into the skin up to 4.3 mm for more effective results.
• Adjusts energy levels to suit different skin conditions for each individual through real-time processing, making energy delivery more precise and improving results.
• Saves treatment time with the new handpiece that uses fewer shots than previous models but maintains the same efficiency. It also provides a more comfortable experience due to the reduced number of shots, reducing treatment time by 20-25% or 18 minutes.
• Provides more comfort with a smooth, multi-directional vibrating head that reduces pain during the procedure (the pain is typically tolerable).
• Prevents excessive heat accumulation under the skin with the Pre and Post Cooling system, ensuring skin safety.

Principle of Thermage FLX Operation

Thermage FLX delivers radio frequency (RF) energy deep into the dermis and subcutaneous layers, which are the deepest parts of the skin structure. It stimulates the production of new collagen in these layers and helps to break down fat in areas such as the cheeks and neck (double chin). This results in tighter skin and a more contoured, slim facial shape without the need for surgery.

Look Better in Every Area with 3 TIP Sizes

• EYE TIP (0.25 cm²): Tightens the skin around the eyes, eyelids, and under-eye area, addressing issues like drooping eyelids and sagging eyebrows.
• FACE TIP (4.0 cm²): Reduces wrinkles, smooths and tightens facial skin, lifts cheeks, reduces double chin, defined jawline, and contours the face.
• BODY TIP (16.0 cm²): Tightens areas such as upper arms, thighs, and abdomen.

Results After Thermage FLX Treatment

The treatment results can be observed in two phases. Firstly, there are immediate effects post-treatment, making the face appear firmer. Following this, the continuous process of new collagen production begins, with noticeable results becoming evident approximately 3-6 months after treatment. Immediately after the treatment, you will feel that your facial skin is lifted and smoother, with reduced wrinkles and strengthened skin condition. The smooth and firm skin achieved with Thermage FLX can last for 1-2 years (depending on factors such as age, lifestyle, and post-treatment care). The treatment can be repeated once a year.

Areas Suitable for Thermage FLX Treatment

• Face: Suitable for those with mild to moderate facial sagging, drooping cheeks, double chin, loose skin under the chin, undefined jawline, and wrinkles around the eyes, lips, etc., and those who want a firmer, more contoured face.
• Around the Eyes: Suitable for those with sagging skin around the eyes, wrinkles, and those who want to lift their eyebrows into shape.
• Body: Suitable for those with sagging skin on the upper arms, back of the hands, abdomen, hips, and thighs, as well as those with uneven or wrinkled skin.

Who is the Thermage FLX Program Suitable For?

• Those who want to contour their face to be smaller and more defined, and also wish to tighten sagging facial skin for a more pronounced facial outline.
• Those who want to rejuvenate their face, tighten pores, and achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
• Those who want to address fat accumulation in the cheeks, chin, double chin, and neck.
• Those who want to reduce wrinkles around the eyes or have sagging skin around the eyes, including those with hooded eyelids who want more defined eyelid creases.
• Those who want to address sagging skin on various parts of the body, such as the face, neck, abdomen, or upper arms.
• Those who want to address cellulite and fat accumulation in areas such as the thighs, hips, and buttocks.

Steps of Thermage FLX Procedure

• The doctor will evaluate and determine the number of shots required for the treatment, which depends on the treatment area and each individual’s skin condition.
• Apply a topical anesthetic for about 30-45 minutes before the procedure.
• The doctor will place the Thermage device head close to the skin and administer the shots as determined for each case appropriately. The procedure takes approximately 45-90 minutes (the treatment duration and the number of shots depend on the skin condition and the area to be treated).

During the procedure, the patient will feel “Warm But Tolerable” – a warm sensation on the skin that is not unbearably painful because the energy penetrates all layers of the skin. To achieve optimal results with Thermage, enduring a certain level of discomfort is necessary for clear and worthwhile outcomes.

Preparation Before Undergoing Thermage FLX

• Consult with a doctor, providing clear information about any chronic diseases, surgical history, or any other procedures previously done on the face. This helps the doctor evaluate if the patient is suitable for the procedure and assess facial issues, plan facial contouring, and determine the appropriate number of shots.
• Avoid strong sunlight or outdoor activities that might make the skin sensitive.
• The doctor will recommend applying a topical anesthetic mask for about 30-45 minutes before starting the procedure.
• The doctor will then proceed with administering the shots until the planned number is completed.

Post-Thermage FLX Care

After undergoing Thermage, you may experience redness, a pinkish tint, or slight facial swelling, which will gradually improve in about 1-2 hours. After that, you can resume your daily activities as usual without any downtime. Try to avoid strong sunlight for about a week after the procedure, and always apply sunscreen before going out in the sun. Follow your doctor’s recommendations.

Thermage CPT

A New Innovation for Non-Surgical Face Lifting

Thermage CPT is a technology that helps lift and tighten the skin, reshape the face, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin structure using monopolar capacitively coupled radiofrequency energy. This energy is converted into heat, which penetrates deep into the subcutaneous fat layer, effectively dissolving excess fat on the face and body. It stimulates the contraction of collagen and elastin fibers, which are intertwined in the skin layer like a rope, resulting in a tighter outer skin layer. Additionally, it promotes the creation of new collagen fibers, addressing sagging skin and tightening various loose areas without surgery or stitches.

How Does Thermage CPT Work?

• It works by delivering heat deep into the skin, causing the contraction of the subcutaneous fat layer. This contraction occurs in all dimensions, resulting in tighter skin, a smaller face, reduced sagging, and diminished wrinkles.
• Can it be done only on the face or on other areas as well?
• It can make the face smaller and firmer and can be applied to various areas of the body, such as the neck, upper arms, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, around the eyes, and the back of the hands. It tightens and firms the skin, with lasting results after just one treatment session.

Results After Thermage CPT

• The face becomes lifted and more contoured.
• Wrinkles and nasolabial folds are reduced.
• The facial skin appears brighter and more youthful.
• It helps lift and tighten the skin, reducing wrinkles.
• Addresses issues of drooping eyebrows, sagging eyelids, and wrinkled eyelid skin.
• Reduces problems of wrinkled, sagging skin and enhances smoothness.

Areas Suitable for Thermage CPT Treatment

• Face: Suitable for those with mild to moderate facial sagging, drooping cheeks, double chin, loose skin under the chin, undefined jawline, and wrinkles around the eyes, lips, etc., and those who want a firmer, more contoured face.
• Around the Eyes: Suitable for those with sagging skin around the eyes, wrinkles, and those who want to lift their eyebrows into shape.
• Body: Suitable for those with sagging skin on the upper arms, back of the hands, abdomen, hips, and thighs, as well as those with uneven or wrinkled skin.
• Neck: Suitable for those with sagging skin, wrinkles, and those who want a firmer neck with reduced fine lines.
