About Thermage
Thermage FLX is a non-invasive procedure that’s clinically proven to help tighten and contour the skin for an overall younger looking appearance. It is used on the face and all areas of the body and a treatment takes around just one hour, with no downtime.
The Problem
As we age we lose volume in the face especially the cheek area and there is a reduction in the elasticity of the skin. An analogy is that of a cushion that has lost some of it’s stuffing and the cushion cover stretched. The results are sagging skin and wrinkles giving an aged appearance especially in the lower face, jowl and neck areas.
How It Works
A Thermage treatment is carried out using a handpiece with a smooth, flat tip that delivers Themage FLX’s unique radio frequency (RF) technology, safely heating up the deep, collagen rich layers of your skin.
The heat helps tighten existing Collagen and stimulates the formation of new collagen. This reduces sagging, renews contours, and improves the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can Thermage FLX be used?
What results can I expect from Thermage treatment?
Thermage FLX is used as a preventative measure as well as to treat specific areas.
- Face – jowls, nasolabial lines, marionette lines, smokers lines and for general skin tightening.
- Eyes – under eye wrinkles and skin laxity as well as heavy, hooded eyelids.
- Lips – smokers lines and area of ‘lipstick bleeding’.
- Tummy – skin laxity post baby or due to excess sun exposure.
- Arms – skin laxity especially the inner upper arm area.
- Thighs and knee areas – skin laxity due to age and sun exposure.
- Buttocks – Skin laxity due to ageing and loss of volume.
A Thermage FLX procedure is a single treatment with immediately visible results for most clients. Measurable tightening and contouring gradually appear in the two to six months in the course of your body’s natural collagen rebuilding process.
Results can last years depending on your skin condition and ageing process. Most clients, however, have yearly treatments with lesser collagen stimulating treatments every month, such as Hydrafacial, Indiba, IPL laser and Peels.
We advise the use of Retinol and antioxidant-containing products from the ZO range as well as Skinade collagen drink. They will be discussed at your consultation as they significantly enhance the results.
