How does Thermage work?
Thermage FLX is made by Solta Medical, a US company. It uses monopolar radiofrequency, energy that heats the deeper layers of the skin evenly, while the surface is cooled and the handpiece vibrates for comfort. In use since 2002, it was the first monopolar radiofrequency device cleared by the US FDA for treating wrinkles.
The heat tightens existing collagen and prompts your skin to build fresh collagen over the following months, while the system fine-tunes its energy as it works. It firms and smooths; it doesn’t add volume or lift like surgery.
Who shouldn’t have Thermage?
It isn’t suitable with a pacemaker, defibrillator or other electrical implant, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with cold sores in the area. Tell your doctor about fillers, tattoos, diabetes or epilepsy. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Thermage treatment, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your skin and chooses the areas and tips.
- Preparation: the skin is cleansed and marked with a temporary guide grid.
- Treatment: radiofrequency pulses with cooling, taking 30–60 minutes.
- Results: skin can feel tighter at once and improves over 2–6 months.
- Maintenance: many people repeat it once a year.
Results and recovery
Your skin can feel tighter straight after treatment. The main change builds over the next two to six months as new collagen forms, and results can last one to two years, depending on your skin and how it ages.
Mild redness usually fades within 24 hours, and slight swelling can last a few days. Most people go straight back to their day. Burns, blisters or small lumps under the skin are uncommon.
Aftercare
- Back to normal activities straight away
- Keep to gentle, basic skincare
- A cool compress eases any swelling
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
