Thermage FLX Radiofrequency Tightening

Thermage® FLX is a US FDA-cleared non-invasive skin-tightening treatment. It uses patented monopolar radiofrequency technology together with the AccuREP™ real-time regulation system to deliver heat in a 3D volumetric manner to the dermis, helping stimulate progressive collagen production, improve skin laxity and refine contour lines. No surgery is required, and there is generally no specific downtime.

Treatment principle: 3D volumetric heating

Combining monopolar radiofrequency with intelligent micro-adjustment technology, energy is delivered evenly from the outside in to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

AccuREP™ real-time regulation technology: a fifth-generation exclusive technology that measures local skin impedance before each energy pulse and micro-adjusts the radiofrequency output in real time, ensuring energy is delivered evenly.

3D volumetric heating mechanism: radiofrequency energy heats collagen-rich tissue over a three-dimensional, large-area field, helping stimulate collagen contraction and initiate subsequent remodelling.

All-round vibration and soothing cryogen: the tip features Comfort Pulse Technology and cryogen spray, protecting the epidermis while heat is delivered and reducing discomfort during treatment.

Site-specific treatment tips

A range of dedicated intelligent tips is available. The physician selects the appropriate tip according to the client’s skin condition and contour needs.

Face and jawline (Purple Diamond tip): the signature fifth-generation Purple Diamond tip, with a larger coverage area than the previous generation, helping treat cheek laxity and jawline contour more evenly.

• Helps shorten treatment time
• Improves the appearance of the apple cheeks and nasolabial folds
• Refines the definition of the jawline

Delicate periocular skin (Jade Eye tip): designed for the thinner skin around the eyes, with a shallower heating depth, helping gently tighten the upper and lower eyelid skin. FDA-cleared for use on the upper and lower eyelids.

• FDA-cleared for use on the upper and lower eyelids
• Helps soften the appearance of periocular fine lines
• Improves periocular skin laxity

Large body areas (Imperial Jade tip): the largest tip surface area, suitable for treating larger areas of lax body skin, such as the abdomen or arms.

• Improves abdominal skin laxity
• Firms the arms (Bye-bye arms) and thigh contour
• Helps smooth the surface texture of body skin

Five key benefits

• Immediate skin tightening and lifting: improves nasolabial folds, double chin and jawline laxity
• Stimulates collagen production
• Improves wrinkles and rough skin texture
• Firms the periocular skin (the only treatment FDA-cleared for the upper eyelid)
• Improves neck, jawline and body skin laxity

Treatment frequency and precautions

• Results may last about 12 months; a further session every 9 months to 1 year is recommended
• Non-invasive, with no downtime; normal activity can resume immediately
• After treatment, increase hydration and sun protection, and pause products containing acids, exfoliants or brightening actives for 7 days
