Thermage FLX in Seoul

QUICK ANSWER

Thermage FLX is a monopolar radiofrequency treatment that tightens skin and smooths texture on the face, eyelids and neck. One session takes 45–90 minutes with no downtime. Collagen remodelling shows over 2–6 months, and results commonly last 1–2 years. At The Heal, shot count and energy are customised to each area.

How it works

Thermage FLX heats the deep dermis evenly with monopolar radiofrequency while cooling the surface. Existing collagen contracts at once and new collagen forms over the following months.

The FLX tip measures skin contact and adjusts energy pass by pass (AccuREP), giving even heating across the face.

Custom Thermage at The Heal: shot counts (for example 600 or 900) and distribution are set by area: more over the jawline and cheeks, lighter around the eyes.

Frequently asked questions

How many Thermage shots do I need?

Face-only treatments often use 600 shots; face plus neck or eyes may need 900 or more. Dr. Yang recommends a count after examining skin laxity.

When will I see results?

Some patients notice firmer skin immediately; the main improvement develops over 2–6 months.

Thermage or Ultherapy?

Thermage tightens skin texture; Ultherapy lifts deeper tissue. Many patients do both.
