The 4th-generation Thermage FLX has a well-equipped pain-blocking system. When radiofrequency energy is delivered, vibration and cooling gas work simultaneously to disperse discomfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well with topical numbing cream alone, but those who are extremely sensitive to pain may choose sedation after consulting the medical team.

Right after treatment, radiofrequency heat causes collagen to contract immediately, giving a tightening effect. Then, new collagen continues to regenerate over 2–3 months, and firmness reaches its peak. Results vary by individual, but with one treatment per year, they typically last about a year.

Illegally reused tips can deliver energy unevenly, causing burns or no effect at all. Before treatment, you should always confirm that a new, genuine tip box is opened right in front of you. We provide a certificate of authenticity after treatment.

Yes, it works well. Unlike InMode or Ultherapy, which break down fat, it is a tightening treatment that firms the dermis. There is no concern about hollow cheeks from fat loss, and satisfaction is especially high among those with thin, sagging skin and those in their late 20s to early 30s who want to prevent aging early.

Mild swelling or redness may remain for a few days after treatment but will fade naturally. Because radiofrequency heat has been applied beneath the skin, you should avoid ice packs on the face and washing with cold water for one week after treatment to maximize results. Sunscreen is essential whenever you go outside.
