Overview

What is Thermage FLX?

Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat collagen-rich layers deep in the skin, triggering immediate contraction and long-term remodeling. Unlike Morpheus8 (which uses needles) or Ultherapy (ultrasound), Thermage works entirely on the surface — no penetration, no numbing required for most patients, zero downtime.

The FLX platform is the most advanced generation of Thermage, featuring AccuREP technology that reads skin resistance in real time and auto-calibrates energy delivery for consistency. Available for full face, body, and a dedicated Thermage Eye treatment for hooded or sagging eyelid skin — a unique application that most RF devices cannot treat safely.

Treatment Options

Two treatment options

Thermage FLX Face tightens and contours the full face — smoothing skin, defining the jawline, and improving overall skin texture and firmness.

Thermage FLX Eyes is specifically designed for the upper eyelid and under-eye area — lifting hooded lids and reducing puffiness and crepey skin around the eyes.

We recommend completing Thermage FLX before any Botox or filler treatments. If you have recently had Botox or fillers, please wait at least 2 weeks before your Thermage session.

The Experience

What to expect during your session

A layer of conductive gel is applied to the skin. The Thermage handpiece glides over the treatment area with alternating pulses of heat and cooling. Most patients describe it as a warm, deep sensation — some areas feel more intense than others. The eye treatment uses a specialized smaller tip and takes approximately 30 minutes alone.

No needles. No numbing required for most patients (though it is available). You can apply makeup and return to normal activity immediately after.

Results

When will you see results?

Results are typically visible immediately, with ongoing collagen remodeling improving results further over 4–6 months.

Results typically last 1–2 years — significantly longer than injectable treatments. A single Thermage session per year is a popular maintenance approach for our patients who want tightening without downtime.

FAQ

Common questions

How is Thermage different from Ultherapy or Morpheus8?
Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency on the skin surface — no needles, no penetration. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to target deep tissue layers. Morpheus8 uses needles to deliver RF precisely at depth. Thermage is unique for its no-needle approach, zero downtime, and the dedicated Thermage Eye treatment for eyelid skin. The right choice depends on your goals — we help you decide at your consultation.
How is Thermage different from Ultherapy PRIME®?
Both tighten skin non-surgically but work differently and target different concerns. Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy and heats the skin's surface and deeper layers simultaneously. It covers a broader surface area in a single session, making it ideal for overall skin tightening and texture improvement. It also has a dedicated eye treatment for upper eyelids and under-eye bags. Ultherapy PRIME® uses focused ultrasound energy that penetrates to the SMAS layer — the same deep structural layer targeted in a surgical facelift. It is more focused and precise, making it the better choice for targeted lifting of the brow, jawline, and neck. Many patients benefit from both: Thermage for surface quality and texture, Ultherapy PRIME® for structural lifting. Your provider will recommend the right combination during your free consultation.
Is one session really enough?
For most patients, yes. Thermage FLX is specifically designed as a single-session treatment. Some patients with significant laxity choose to repeat after 12–18 months, but the standard recommendation is one session with annual or biannual maintenance.
Is Thermage FLX safe for Asian skin tones?
Yes. Thermage FLX is safe for all skin types and tones including darker skin (Fitzpatrick types IV–VI). Because it uses radiofrequency rather than light-based energy, there is no risk of hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones — a key advantage for our Queens patient population.
