Get to know Thermage FLX, skin tightening technology
Sagging or loose skin, including wrinkles, is mostly caused by the age of people. This causes the loss of collagen fibers under the skin, followed by the loss of skin elasticity. The care for sagging skin includes applying creams to tighten or massaging to tighten, which in some cases may not be enough to restore sagging skin to be smooth and firm as before it sagged. Because the methods mentioned cannot restore from deep skin layers, it is considered a solution to the problem at the end rather than the root cause.
The solution to this problem on the face is exercise and Thermage FLX program. For exercise, sometimes it is not possible to solve the problem of sagging deeply and specifically. But if there is a specific problem, using a treatment machine like Thermage FLX program seems to be more accurate.
Thermage FLX (skin tightening) program
Results depend on each individual’s skin condition.
Thermage FLX program is a medical innovation that is considered a beauty technology used to lift and tighten the skin by using heat energy from a single-polar radio wave with a frequency or Monopolar RF by releasing heat energy from the machine into the deep skin layer, including the dermis layer, which is the deepest layer of the skin structure, to the subcutaneous fat layer, or Subcutaneous fat. The subcutaneous fat layer is considered the skin layer with a high collagen content. The Thermage FLX program will cause the collagen under the skin to shrink and stimulate the creation of new collagen under the skin.
Therefore, it is very suitable for use in people with sagging, loose skin, and excess fat accumulated in various areas such as cheeks, chin, double chin, cheeks, or people with cellulite, excess fat accumulated, and people with orange peel skin.
By using Thermage FLX, the skin will be healthier, the face will be slimmer, the skin will be smoother, wrinkles will be reduced, it will be firmer, and the proportions will be more proportionate without surgery, no recovery time, and no scars.
The Thermage FLX program is a reliable technology because the Thermage FLX program has been certified by the US-FDA or the Food and Drug Administration of the United States. Importantly, it has also been certified by the Food and Drug Administration or the FDA of Thailand. Therefore, it is considered a beauty innovation in lifting that is highly safe and reliable.
Thermage FLX system was awarded Best new technology of the year (2017 Thermage® FLX system) by The Aesthetic Guide and has been a pioneer in non-surgical skin tightening innovation since 2002. Thermage FLX is backed by more than 50 medical studies on treatment results and safety and is the most popular skin tightening treatment with more than 2 million treatments performed worldwide.

The working principle of Thermage FLX program
As we age, the collagen beneath the skin that helps keep it firm begins to deteriorate. Our skin begins to sag and eventually wrinkles appear.
The Thermage FLX program uses Radiofrequency Technology. When it is shot into the skin layer, the heat and vibration from the machine will go deep under the skin layer. It will go into the skin layer to separate the water molecules under the skin layer from the collagen fibers, causing the collagen that has accumulated under the skin layer to immediately shrink. As a result, the skin area where the Thermage FLX program is shot will shrink and tighten.
The vibration is used to relieve pain when Thermage FLX delivers heat to the deep skin layer. In addition, cold waves are sent out alternately during the procedure to create relaxation and reduce skin burns.
During the period of approximately 2-3 months after the Thermage FLX program, the body will continuously respond, including increasing collagen under the skin and arranging collagen under the skin to be more beautiful and better, causing the skin to gradually become firmer and tighter when doing the Thermage FLX program.
Within 6 months, you will see visible changes. Your skin will be smoother and firmer after just one Thermage FLX treatment. Results will gradually become clearer and will be most noticeable after 6 months.

How much energy does Thermage FLX have and how much treatment should be used?
In all energy settings and treatment machine applications, including Thermage FLX programs, the energy is set by the physician, and is adjusted appropriately for each individual and the area to be treated.
The energy value will be divided into 0-4 levels.
• Level 0-1 is the level where the recipient will feel that the skin will tremble, but will not feel anything else. This level will have the least effect on the treatment.
• Level 2-2.5 is the level where the service recipient will feel the heat at a tolerable level. At this level, the results will start to be seen according to the doctor’s wishes.
• Level 3-4 is a level that some people who receive the service will feel that it is too hot, but will give the most obvious results. It is also a level that requires caution in preventing skin injury.
For every energy level adjustment, the doctor will ask the patient periodically if it is hot or painful to prevent injury and to achieve the best results.

The difference between Ulthera and Thermage FLX programs
The Thermage FLX program is a MONOPOLAR RF radio wave heat device that sends energy waves to 3 layers of skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fat layer, causing the skin layer to produce collagen and elastin. When more collagen is produced, the skin becomes firmer, which helps reduce wrinkles, smoothes the skin, and helps break down excess fat that accumulates under the skin. It emphasizes stimulating collagen under the skin to make the skin firmer. It is very suitable for those who have fat or thick fat layers that are not firm, sagging, or wrinkled, or those who have a double chin. The Thermage FLX program can maintain the results for about 1-2 years, depending on the care of each person.
The Ulthera program uses Focus ULTRASOUND waves, which are high-frequency machines that are specifically used to send energy directly to the lower skin layer, such as the SMAS layer, which is the layer used in lifting surgery to solve sagging problems. The Ulthera program is therefore very suitable for those who receive the service who have little accumulated fat under the skin. The Ulthera program can maintain results for approximately 1 year.
Can the Ulthera and Thermage FLX programs be used together?
Both programs mentioned above can be used together because the Ulthera and Thermage FLX programs can be used. The principle is to use energy waves to send currents to different layers of skin. The Ulthera program sends Focus ULTRASOUND waves to the SMAS layer of skin, but the Thermage FLX program sends heating from radio waves called MONOPOLAR RF to 3 layers of skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fat layer.
Therefore, when doing both programs, Ulthera and Thermage FLX, together, it is considered a full skin tightening. It is a more complete skin tightening throughout every layer of the skin. If the service recipient has problems with both skin and fat layers, using both programs will result in even better results. It can also maintain the skin that is firm and not sagging even better.
The Thermage FLX program is very suitable for those with loose, wrinkled, sagging skin who want to solve the problem and regain their youth to look beautiful like they were young again. Treatment can be done on the entire face and body with results lasting up to 1 year. Therefore, it is very suitable for those who do not have time to take care of themselves or those who do not like to exercise. The Thermage FLX program can solve sagging skin problems equivalent to surgical surgery but does not require surgery and does not require recovery.
But what should be taken into consideration is the expertise of the doctor providing the service and the reliability of the machine, which must be genuine only. In addition, the service provider should be a reliable beauty clinic.
Rassapoom Clinic is another option for those who want to tighten their skin on both the face and body. We have standard machines that are guaranteed to be genuine.
