FLX.
Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep dermis in a single, comfortable session — stimulating new collagen production for gradually firmer, smoother-contoured skin, with no needles and no downtime.

Thermage FLX System
Energy level and tip size — matched to your skin, not applied by default
Thermage FLX settings are adjusted to skin thickness, laxity and treatment area. This page explains how the technology works so you can discuss it accurately in consultation — it is not a substitute for an in-person assessment.
What Is Thermage FLX
Heat That Rebuilds Collagen From Within.
Thermage FLX is BOME's radiofrequency skin-tightening system. A treatment tip delivers monopolar RF energy through the skin's surface to heat the deep dermis and underlying tissue, while integrated cooling protects the outer skin layer during treatment. That controlled heating immediately causes existing collagen fibres to contract, and — more importantly — triggers the body to produce new collagen over the following months, gradually improving skin firmness, texture and contour.
The FLX generation adds real-time monitoring of energy delivery and vibration at the treatment tip, which is designed to make sessions more consistent and more comfortable than earlier Thermage platforms.
Key Benefits
What Thermage FLX May Help With.
Skin Texture
New collagen production can improve overall skin smoothness and refine surface texture over time.
Eye Area
A dedicated eye tip can be used to gently firm the delicate skin around the eyes.
Body Areas
Larger body tips allow treatment of areas like the abdomen, arms or knees for firmer-looking skin.
How It Works
The Thermage FLX Treatment Journey.
01
Assessment & Tip Selection
Dr. Kwon assesses your skin and chooses the appropriate treatment tip and energy level for your goals and treatment area.
02
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and a grid may be applied to guide even coverage across the area.
03
RF Energy Delivery
The tip is passed across the skin, delivering heating pulses with simultaneous surface cooling. Most people feel brief warmth or heat with each pulse.
04
Collagen Remodelling Over Time
You can resume normal activities immediately. Skin may appear slightly firmer right away, but the main improvement builds gradually over 2–6 months as new collagen forms.
Suitability
Is Thermage FLX Right for You?
✓
Mild to moderate skin laxity
Suited to early firmness loss and contour softening rather than significant excess skin.
✓
Want a single-session option
Many people achieve their goals from one session, which can suit a busy or short-visit schedule.
✓
Comfortable with gradual results
Best for those who understand that the main effect builds over months, not overnight.
!
Pregnancy, pacemakers, or certain implants
Please disclose these during consultation, as they may affect candidacy for RF-based treatment.
How It Compares
Thermage FLX vs. Other Options.
| Option | Energy type | Typical sessions | Onset of visible result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermage FLX | Monopolar radiofrequency | Usually 1 | Gradual, over 2–6 months |
| Ultherapy PRIME | Focused ultrasound (HIFU) | Usually 1 | Gradual, over 2–3 months |
| Alltite RF Tightening | Radiofrequency (bipolar/multipolar) | Often a short course | Gradual, over several weeks |
Thermage FLX FAQ
Common Questions.
Is Thermage FLX painful?
Most people feel a brief warm or heat sensation with each pulse, made more comfortable by the FLX generation's vibration and integrated cooling. Comfort level is discussed and can be adjusted during your session.
How many sessions do I need?
Thermage FLX is typically designed around a single, more intensive session, unlike treatments built around a multi-session course — though your exact plan is confirmed after assessment.
When will I see results?
Some initial tightening can be visible soon after treatment, but the main firming effect from new collagen builds gradually over roughly 2–6 months.
How long do results last?
Many people see benefits lasting around a year, though this varies with skin quality, age and lifestyle — ongoing skin ageing continues regardless of treatment.
Can Thermage FLX be combined with other treatments?
It's often discussed alongside treatments like Ultherapy PRIME or EMFACE for a broader lifting and tightening plan — Dr. Kwon can advise on combining treatments for your goals.
Can international patients fit this into a short Seoul visit?
Yes — with no downtime and typically one session, Thermage FLX fits well into most Seoul visit lengths. Please share your travel dates when booking your consultation.
