Thermage FLX
Non-surgical tightening that reorganizes collagen beneath the skin with radiofrequency heat energy
ABOUT
What is Thermage FLX?
-
01
Thermage FLX delivers monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy into the skin to stimulate collagen contraction and remodeling.
-
02
It is often chosen by those who want to naturally improve skin laxity and fine lines across the face.
-
03
The key is to first assess where the face has lost firmness and at what depth, then select the energy needed, rather than focusing on the device name.
HOW IT WORKS
How does it work?
It protects the skin surface while tightening the dermis and subcutaneous FSN layer in three dimensions.
Monopolar radiofrequency at 6.78MHz delivers thermal energy in three dimensions through the dermis and along the fibrous septa (FSN) of the subcutaneous tissue.
Vertical contraction tightens the underlying skin structures, while gradual collagen regeneration creates firmer contours.
WHERE IT WORKS
Cooling Protection
Epidermis
Surface protection & real-time cooling,
with cooling pulses to minimize surface irritation and discomfort
Dermal Collagen
Dermis
Collagen & elastin regeneration,
with contraction of aging collagen to restore density and elasticity
Fibrous Septa
Subcutaneous Tissue & FSN
3D contraction of the FSN (fibrous septa),
with vertical contraction to tighten facial contours in three dimensions
RECOMMENDED FOR
Who is it for?
- 01
Those with overall skin laxity and reduced elasticity
- 02
Those seeking natural tightening without a dramatic change to their facial contours
- 03
Those concerned about fine lines around the eyes and across the face
- 04
Those who want gradual changes after a single treatment
TREATMENT AREAS
Common treatment areas
- Full face
- Eye area
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Neck
The actual treatment area is determined during consultation based on facial structure, skin condition, and the product used.
The illustration above is provided to help explain treatment areas and does not represent individual treatment results.
BENEFITS
Changes you can expect
- 01Improved firmness in lax skin
- 02Smoother fine lines and skin texture
- 03Tightening that gives facial contours a firmer appearance
- 04Gradual, natural collagen remodeling over time
KEY POINTS
Key treatment features
- 01Monopolar radiofrequency heats skin tissue broadly and evenly
- 02Cooling before and after energy delivery protects the skin surface
- 03Addresses elasticity, fine lines, and skin texture across the face in one treatment
RESULT JOURNEY
How results develop over time
Your skin may feel slightly firmer immediately after treatment.
As collagen remodeling continues over the following weeks, facial contours and firmness improve naturally, with changes settling in around 2–3 months.
INEE APPROACH
Our approach at INEE
- 01
We assess both skin elasticity and facial structure to identify the areas that need the most attention.
- 02
We tailor each treatment area to the individual, considering the device's characteristics and depth of action.
- 03
We aim to bring out the natural balance of your face rather than create a dramatic change.
RECOVERY & CARE
What to know before and after treatment
Before treatment
During your consultation, tell us about any recent fillers, thread lifts, or energy-based treatments, as well as the facial areas that concern you most. The number of shots and focus areas are determined by your face size and skin elasticity.
Immediately after & recovery
Most people can return to their usual activities immediately after treatment. Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling may occur, but these usually subside quickly.
Aftercare
On the day of treatment, avoid vigorous rubbing and hot saunas, and keep your skin well moisturized. Use sun protection consistently and discuss the timing of your next maintenance treatment based on your skin condition.
NEXT STEP
Confirm a treatment plan that fits you through consultation
The right treatment direction may vary with your current skin condition and desired change. Start with a comfortable consultation.
