Thermage FLX

How it works

Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat the deeper layers of the skin while the surface is cooled. The heating is intended to tighten existing collagen and encourage new collagen over time. Treatment is delivered through a disposable tip that has a set number of pulses. Results develop gradually and vary by person.

Good to know

• Ask which tip size is planned for the face, eyes, or body and how many pulses are intended.
• Because tips have a limited pulse count, ask whether a new tip is used for your session and whether it can be shown to you.
• Discuss any metal implants, pacemakers, or prior fillers, which can affect eligibility.
• Temporary redness, swelling, and tenderness are common; burns and uneven contour changes are uncommon but possible.

Checking a Thermage FLX treatment before you book

This brand is among the most copied terms on Korean menus, and similar-sounding radiofrequency treatments are often described as Thermage-type. Ask whether the original system is used, then ask for the pulse count to be written on your quote.

It is reasonable to request the sealed tip before it is attached, and to ask for the on-screen counter to be shown. A calm, specific reply is a healthy sign of how the clinic handles its consumables.
