The Thermage FLX technology
As we age, the collagen that keeps our skin firm breaks down resulting in ageing skin that contains fine lines and wrinkles
Thermage FLX heats the deeper collagen-rich layers of the skin. The applied heat causes collagen to contract and stimulates new collagen to start growing
- Each pulse of the Thermage FLX machine delivers customised radiofrequency to every inch of the treatment area, followed by a double cryogen cooling effect
- Thermage FLX uses AccuREPTM technology that automatically fine-tune each energy pulse to provide more effective radiofrequency energy
- The Thermage FLX has a multi-directional vibrating mechanism allowing for patient’s comfort during treatment
- The Thermage FLX treatment tip is large to generate more heat and energy and can heat more deeply within the skin for better results
The Thermage FLX treatment procedure
