What is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment using monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy, an exclusive technology from Solta Medical (USA). The 4th-generation FLX version reduces treatment time by 25% and features AccuREP™ technology that measures skin impedance with every pulse to automatically optimize energy delivery.
How It Works
Thermage FLX delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis while cooling the epidermis (Cryogen Cooling). This energy immediately contracts collagen in the dermal layer (Immediate Collagen Contraction), followed by months of new collagen remodeling that gradually restores skin elasticity.

Book a ConsultationUltherapy specializes in 'lifting' by pulling deep layers, while Thermage specializes in 'tightening' the outer skin. Depending on your skin thickness and sagging level, combining both ('Ulthermage') may be most effective, so we recommend visiting for a direct diagnosis.
Book a ConsultationThermage is a non-invasive procedure that rarely causes scabbing or bruising. There may be slight redness immediately after treatment, but it subsides within a few hours, and you can apply makeup and return to daily activities right away.
