Thermage FLX

What is Thermage FLX Treatment?

As we age, collagen production gradually decreases, which may contribute to skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, sagging eyelids and reduced facial definition.

Thermage FLX treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis while cooling the skin’s surface. This causes existing collagen fibres to contract and supports new collagen formation.

Changes in skin firmness, texture and facial definition may develop over eight to 12 weeks as collagen remodelling takes place. Results and treatment suitability vary between individuals.

How Does Thermage FLX Work?

The treatment tip delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin while providing surface cooling for comfort.

Each energy pulse creates heat within the selected tissue, affecting existing collagen and triggering a gradual collagen response. Vibration may also be used during treatment to help manage discomfort.

Changes in skin firmness and texture may become noticeable over the following weeks and months.

Treatment Areas

Thermage FLX is highly versatile and can treat multiple areas of the face and body:

With Thermage treatment Singapore, these areas can be treated safely to achieve natural-looking lifting and skin tightening without surgery.

Who Is Thermage FLX Treatment For?

Thermage FLX treatment may be considered for men and women with:

  • Mild to moderate skin laxity.
  • Early sagging around the eyelids, cheeks, jawline or neck.
  • Fine lines, wrinkles or uneven skin tone.
  • Concerns about skin firmness or texture.
  • A preference for a non-surgical procedure with limited disruption to daily activities.

A consultation allows the doctor to assess the patient’s skin condition, treatment goals and suitability. An alternative treatment may be recommended where Thermage FLX is not appropriate.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

The doctor evaluates skin laxity, texture, and aging concerns to design a personalised treatment plan.

Step 2: Skin Preparation

Numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. Conductive gel aids RF delivery and maintains skin surface cooling.

Step 3: RF Energy Delivery

Thermage FLX delivers energy in carefully timed pulses, heating the dermis to stimulate collagen contraction and regeneration while simultaneously cooling the surface to prevent discomfort.

Step 4: Targeted Treatment by Area

Energy is applied strategically to the eyelids, cheeks, jawline, neck, or other areas with sagging skin to achieve natural lifting and firming effects.

Step 5: Collagen Remodelling

The body gradually produces new collagen, tightening the skin and improving texture over 8–12 weeks.

Step 6: Follow-Up & Maintenance

Follow-up reviews monitor results and guide potential maintenance sessions to sustain skin tightening effects.
