Thermage FLX Treatment
Want smooth, younger looking skin?
Kick start your body’s natural renewal process with Thermage FLX, the ultimate in skin tightening treatments, available at Vinesse Aesthetics and Cosmetic Clinic soon.
Enjoy natural looking results without surgery or injections in just minutes! This radio frequency (RF) therapy can smooth, tighten and contour the skin on your face, eyes and body for an overall younger looking appearance in a single treatment.
WHAT IS THERMAGE FLX?
Thermage FLX is a premium, non-invasive skin tightening treatment to boost collagen production, using energy focussed radio frequency that tightens, smooths and contours your skin. This energy allows your body to kick start its own natural renewal process within the deepest layers of your skin, effectively treating fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPEXT FROM THERMAGE FLX?
You can expect tightening of collagen, and man patients have reported:
– Tighter smoother skin with less sagging
– Redefined contours under the chin and along the jaw
– Softening of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and forehead
– Brighter looking eyes
– Reduce sagging under the eyes
– Smoother skin on the eyelids
IS THIS PROCEDURE FOR ME?
Thermage FLX can be used on all skin colours and is ideal for anyone who is starting to see the effects of collagen depletion and you feel your skin needs tightening. Generally over the age of 35 is when you may start to experience mild to moderate skin laxity. If you have sun damage, the results will only be effective if it’s moderate.
This treatment is ideal for those who want gradual results of a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime – it is the perfect solution when surgery is too much and and lotions are not enough.
Treatment will be most effective if you are a non-smoker and if you have any tattooed skin, the applicator can not be applied to the area.
To ensure this treatment is right for you, please schedule an appointment for a personalised consultation.
WHY IS THERMAGE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHER TREATMENTS?
There are many laser and radio frequency procedures that will smooth the surface of the skin, however no other treatment will heat as deeply as Thermage. Thermage is the most effective at renewing collagen as it heats the most inner layers of the skin. The results will give you an overall younger looking appearance.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS?
After a single treatment session results will start to develop after a week and will continue to become more noticeable over the course of 2 – 6 months. To maintain your results, a follow up treatment may be required after 12 months. Results can last for one to two years depending on your skin condition and ageing process.
DOES IT HURT?
Thermage FLX is a system which incorporates vibrations on the face and body, this has been shown to provide comfort to patients. You will feel a brief heating sensation when the tip of the treatment device touches your skin, followed by a cooling sensation designed to help protect your skin and reduce any discomfort.
BENEFITS OF THERMAGE FLX
Noticeably reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on many body parts, along with improvement of tone and texture. Your skin will appear plump and tightened. Treatment around the eyes can improve crow’s feet, providing smoother, more awakened eyes. Treat areas including the face, neck, eyelids, tummy, arms, hands, thighs and buttocks.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Results will be delivered just after one treatment. Your results will continue to improve over time. You may need a follow up treatment after 12 months for maintenance.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
After treatment there may be some temporary redness or minor swelling, however this will go away after 24hours.
Before we commence any medical procedure we will always review your history during an initial consultation.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Generally you will start to see gradual, noticeable results within four – six months.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
A single treatment can last for 1 -2 years, depending on the laxity of the skin and ageing process. You will notice gradual, measurable results over a four to six month process.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING THE PROCEDURE?
Thermage is a pain free, non surgical procedure. The treatment involves mild vibration of the face, which can be comforting to patients. Some patients will feel a short heating sensation when the device touches your skin, followed by a cooling sensation that will protect your skin and minimise discomfort.
Throughout the procedure, your clinician will check-in with you regarding the temperature to ensure your comfort. You may take over-the-counter pain medication 2 hours prior to your treatment, however most patients are able to complete treatment without the need of pain relief.
The procedure will take approximately 45 mins for the face, and 90 mins for other body parts. This timing all depends on the size, location and condition of the treated area. You can expect to return to your usual routine straight after a procedure.
AFTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
There is no downtime after using Thermage FLX. Normal activities can be resumed without any special treatments or protocols, aside from basic skin care maintenance and sunscreen application, which is highly recommended.
