<\/span><\/h3>\nThermage 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Thermage FLX : The Latest Innovation<\/span><\/h3>\nCurrently, the new Thermage technology has been developed into the Thermage FLX Generation 4, which differs from the previous Thermage models as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- 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.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Adjusts energy levels to suit different skin conditions for each individual through real-time processing, making energy delivery more precise and improving results.<\/span><\/li>\n
- 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.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Provides more comfort with a smooth, multi-directional vibrating head that reduces pain during the procedure (the pain is typically tolerable).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Prevents excessive heat accumulation under the skin with the Pre and Post Cooling system, ensuring skin safety.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/h1>\n<\/span>Principle of Thermage FLX Operation<\/span><\/h3>\nThermage 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.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pruksaclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/system-Thermage-FLX.webp\")

Look Better in Every Area with 3 TIP Sizes<\/b><\/p>\n\n- EYE TIP (0.25 cm\u00b2)<\/b>: Tightens the skin around the eyes, eyelids, and under-eye area, addressing issues like drooping eyelids and sagging eyebrows.<\/span><\/li>\n
- FACE TIP (4.0 cm\u00b2)<\/b>: Reduces wrinkles, smooths and tightens facial skin, lifts cheeks, reduces double chin, defined jawline, and contours the face.<\/span><\/li>\n
- BODY TIP (16.0 cm\u00b2)<\/b>: Tightens areas such as upper arms, thighs, and abdomen.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Results After Thermage FLX Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\nThe 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Areas Suitable for Thermage FLX Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Face<\/b>: 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.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Around the Eyes<\/b>: Suitable for those with sagging skin around the eyes, wrinkles, and those who want to lift their eyebrows into shape.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Body<\/b>: 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.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/span>Steps of Thermage FLX Procedure<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- 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.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Apply a topical anesthetic for about 30-45 minutes before the procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n
- 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).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
During the procedure, the patient will feel “Warm But Tolerable” \u2013 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Preparation Before Undergoing Thermage FLX<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- 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.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Avoid strong sunlight or outdoor activities that might make the skin sensitive.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The doctor will recommend applying a topical anesthetic mask for about 30-45 minutes before starting the procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The doctor will then proceed with administering the shots until the planned number is completed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Post-Thermage FLX Care<\/span><\/h3>\nAfter 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.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pruksaclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/44.png\")
