How Does Thermage FLX Work?
Monopolar Radiofrequency Delivers Controlled Heating Through the Skin
Thermage FLX delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy through the skin surface to create controlled heating within selected deeper layers of the skin. This thermal response supports gradual collagen remodelling and firmer-looking skin over time.
How the Doctor Maps and Distributes Energy Across the Face
Treatment planning considers both how energy is delivered through the skin and how treatment passes are mapped across the treatment area. Coverage, overlap, direction and pacing are adjusted according to anatomy and laxity pattern.
AccuREP™ Supports Calibrated Energy Delivery
Thermage FLX uses AccuREP™ technology to automatically calibrate energy delivery during treatment. Integrated cooling and vibration are designed to help protect the skin surface and support patient comfort during appropriate face and body treatments.
Results Develop in Stages
Some patients may notice an early feeling or appearance of firmness. The main visible changes generally develop gradually as collagen remodelling progresses.
What Concerns May Thermage FLX Improve?
Thermage FLX may be considered for selected concerns related to skin laxity, loose texture and early contour change. Suitability depends on the cause and degree of the concern.
What Happens During The Consultation?
A Thermage FLX treatment begins with a personalised consultation with Dr. Yoonseok Oh, who evaluates your skin condition, laxity, facial structure, previous aesthetic procedures and treatment goals. Based on this assessment, a tailored treatment plan is created according to your individual needs and suitability.
During the procedure, monopolar radiofrequency energy is delivered precisely across the selected treatment areas using controlled pacing to support collagen stimulation and skin tightening. The treatment approach is customised according to facial anatomy, skin condition and desired outcomes.
Following treatment, patients receive personalised aftercare guidance, including recommendations for hydration, sun protection and managing temperature exposure. Results develop gradually as collagen remodelling progresses, with follow-up recommendations based on individual response, skin condition and treatment goals.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thermage FLX a surgical facelift?
No. Thermage FLX is a non-surgical radiofrequency treatment and does not replace surgery for advanced sagging.
When will I see results?
Some patients may notice early firmness, while measurable changes generally develop gradually over approximately two to six months. Individual timing varies.
How long do results last?
Duration varies according to age, skin quality, degree of laxity, lifestyle and maintenance planning.
Is Thermage FLX painful?
Patients may feel heat, pressure or brief discomfort during energy delivery. Sensation varies by area and individual sensitivity.
Does Thermage FLX require downtime?
Many patients return to normal daily activities quickly. Temporary redness, warmth, swelling or tenderness may occur.
Can Thermage FLX improve the jawline?
It may support jawline definition when mild to moderate skin laxity is the main concern.
Can Thermage FLX be used around the eyes?
Selected eye-area concerns may be treated when suitable after careful assessment.
Can Thermage FLX be combined with Ultherapy or other treatments?
Combination planning depends on the layer and degree of laxity, skin condition and treatment goals.
What side effects can occur?
Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, bruising or altered sensation may occur. Less common complications are possible, so risks and expected recovery should be discussed during consultation.
How many Thermage FLX treatments will I need?
A single treatment may be appropriate for many selected patients. Maintenance planning depends on skin condition, degree of laxity, age, previous procedures and individual response.
What is the difference between Thermage FLX and Ultherapy?
Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency to support skin tightening, texture improvement and collagen remodelling across selected treatment areas. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound at selected tissue depths and may be considered when deeper structural lifting is a greater priority. The technologies are not interchangeable, and treatment selection depends on anatomy, skin quality, facial volume and the cause of laxity.
Who may not be suitable for Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is not suitable for patients with an implanted pacemaker, defibrillator or another implanted electrical device. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, previous fillers, active skin concerns, relevant medical conditions, permanent makeup, tattoos and previous procedures should be discussed during consultation before suitability is confirmed.
