Thermage FLX

For patients noticing early skin laxity who want firmer skin — without surgery, fillers, or downtime.

 

What is Thermage FLX?

Thermage FLX is an advanced radiofrequency treatment designed to tighten skin and stimulate natural collagen production.

By delivering precisely controlled energy into the deeper layers of the skin, Thermage encourages gradual collagen remodelling and improved firmness over time. The result is subtle, progressive tightening that respects your natural facial structure.

This is not a volumising treatment. It is a skin quality and tightening treatment.

 

Who Is It For?

Thermage is particularly well suited to:

•⁠  ⁠Patients in their late 30s to late 40s noticing early collagen loss

•⁠  ⁠Pre-menopausal patients experiencing reduced firmness

•⁠  ⁠Individuals with mild to moderate laxity along the jawline or neck

•⁠  ⁠Patients seeking a non-surgical tightening option

•⁠  ⁠Those looking to maintain results following surgical procedures

The treatment works best when there is still healthy collagen present to stimulate — making early intervention especially effective.

We also see meaningful improvements in older patients when treatment is incorporated into a structured maintenance plan.

How Thermage FLX Works

Thermage delivers controlled radiofrequency energy into the dermis, where collagen fibres are stimulated and remodelled.

The FLX platform represents a significant advancement over earlier systems. Energy is delivered in short, precisely tuned pulses with integrated cryogen cooling. Each pulse is adjusted in real time to optimise safety and consistency.

This refined delivery allows effective collagen stimulation while improving patient comfort.

Treatment Experience

Thermage FLX is designed to be significantly more comfortable than previous generations.

Patients typically describe around 80% of the treatment as entirely comfortable. Brief moments — approximately 20% — may feel warmer or more intense, but these pulses are short-lived and well tolerated.

A full face treatment usually takes 60–90 minutes. There is minimal downtime, and most patients return to normal activity the same day.

Our Approach at Clinetix

At Clinetix, Thermage is not delivered as a standalone “quick fix.”

It forms part of a considered treatment plan based on:

•⁠  ⁠Age

•⁠  ⁠Skin quality

•⁠  ⁠Hormonal stage

•⁠  ⁠Structural anatomy

•⁠  ⁠Long-term aesthetic goals

Our focus is natural-looking rejuvenation, longevity, and skin integrity — not overt change.

A full medical consultation is required to determine suitability.
