Thermage FLX is a skin rejuvenation technology that has been used by many customers and highly appreciated over the past decade. So how long does this technology last on the face? Let’s find out with Dr. To Lan Phuong in the article below!
1. How Long Does Thermage Last?
Dr.To Lan Phuong shared: “Usually, Thermage FLX will be effective for 24 months from the time the customer performs the treatment. The duration may increase or decrease depending on the aging rate and skin care regimen of each person.”
2. What Is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation and lifting technology that uses high frequency radio waves (RF) at high temperatures to heat under the skin, stimulating collagen production to help tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles naturally.
Currently, the two most popular types of Thermage on the market are Thermage CPT and Thermage FLX. Compared to the old Thermage CPT, the new FLX line has the following improvements:
- Processing time reduced by almost half: Thanks to the improved 4.0 tips (contact area increased by 25%).
- Treatment feeling: Less painful than old CPT technology. Only a slight stinging sensation.
- Treatment effectiveness: Because the tip is more advanced, the treatment area will receive more even energy, helping the effectiveness last longer (about 2 years).
- Personalized: Improved automated technology to target energy levels to each point on the skin.
- Smart cooling technology (Comfort Pulse Technology), reduces the risk of skin heat.

3. Durability of Thermage FLX Results. Is Thermage Permanent?
Dr. To Lan Phuong shared: “There is no technology that can be done once and be beautiful forever. Even if you intervene with cosmetic surgery (high risk rate), there will be an expiration date for each intervention area.”
Typically, Thermage FLX will last for 2 years on the skin. This durability can increase or decrease depending on the following 4 main factors:
- Doctor’s skills: A skilled doctor will accurately hit the vector points with the appropriate energy level to help the skin receive the right amount of energy in each area, making the maintenance time longer.
- Skin aging rate (the older the person, the faster the aging rate).
- Skincare regimen.
- Daily lifestyle.
4. Measures To Help Prolong The Duration Of Thermage FLX
- Best sun protection possible: Cover up with hats, jackets, and apply sunscreen daily.
- Healthy lifestyle: Drink enough water, get enough sleep, don’t stay up late,…
- Scientific skincare regimen: Skin must maintain adequate moisture.
- Limit strong impact on the skin: Do not use a face washing machine or strong massage.

6. Principle Of Operation
Thermage FLX has the ability to stimulate the body’s self-regeneration process through the application of concentrated energy of RF capacitive radio frequency waves. This is a process that harmoniously combines heat energy and cooling effects, thereby deeply affecting the skin. The special feature of Thermage FLX is the AccuREPTM technique (Optimizing treatment energy) that brings firming effects while protecting the skin from heat damage, creating a comfortable feeling for customers.
7. Who Is Suitable?
Customers suitable for Thermage FLX are usually 25 years old and above, customers who are experiencing the following problems:
- Wrinkles and crow’s feet appear at the corners of the eyes.
- Sagging skin or after weight loss.
- Saggy eyebrows, big eye bags.
8. When Will I See Thermage FLX Results?
Immediately after treatment, customers will feel their skin is tighter. However, the rejuvenating and wrinkle-removing effects of Thermage FLX are most evident after 3-6 months of treatment. The reason the effect is slow is because the mechanism of Thermage FLX technology is to increase collagen and elastin from deep within.
9. How Often Should Thermage FLX Be Repeated?
Normally, after about 1.5 – 2 years, you can repeat the Thermage FLX treatment to maintain your natural beauty. If you do not continue to repeat the treatment, your skin will return to its original state and will not be worse than before like surgical or invasive methods.
10. Is Thermage FLX Potentially Dangerous?
Thermage FLX is a completely safe, non-invasive skin rejuvenation technology approved by the US FDA, so you can rest assured. Some overly sensitive skin may experience some conditions such as: redness, soreness, etc. after treatment, but these side effects will disappear after a few hours or the next day, so you can rest assured.
11. How Much Does Thermage Cost?
Typically, a full-face Thermage FLX treatment costs between $3,500 and $4,500. Prices will vary depending on a few factors:
- Doctor’s skills.
- Number of lines executed.
- Implementation basis.
- Pre and post service care.
12. What Not To Do After Thermage FLX
- Limit strenuous physical activity and avoid sweating.
- Limit makeup and touching your face too much.
- Minimize sauna and massage for the first 2 weeks after treatment.
- Limit the use of harmful foods, foods and drinks that can cause skin irritation.
- Limit the use of stimulants and alcohol to prolong the treatment effect.
13. Can Thermage FLX Be Performed In Combination With Other Procedures?
Usually, customers will have many problems so the doctor will treat them with Thermage FLX in a multi-effect manner with a number of other methods such as Ultherapy, botox, filler,..
14. Thermage Or Ultherapy, Which Method Has Longer Lasting Effects?
Typically, Thermage FLX will last about 1 year longer than Ultherapy. Here is a detailed comparison table of the two technologies Ultherapy and Thermage FLX:
| Evaluation criteria | Ultherapy | Thermage FLX |
| Impact depth |
Thermal impact on 5 layers of the skin (4.5mm) is especially strong in the muscles, stimulating collagen proliferation, thereby helping to tighten and firm the skin effectively
Usually treated muscle layer
|
Does not penetrate deep into the skin layer (maximum 3mm), but through the impact on collagen fibers, helps to improve collagen quality for youthful, smooth and bright skin
Usually treated on the skin surface, reduces wrinkles |
| Technology | Micro Focused Ultrasound (MFUV) Helps Increase Collagen Long-Term | High frequency RF waves temporarily tighten loose, flabby collagen fibers |
| Temperature | 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, helps increase the quantity and quality of collagen, eliminating old and weak collagen | Maximum is 50 degrees Celsius, helps collagen fibers become firmer but cannot eliminate old and weak collagen fibers |
