Lifting: Thermage Prime (Thermage FLX)

If all procedures use the same number of shots, those with smaller faces have the biggest advantage — the same energy delivered to a smaller area is naturally more effective. Conversely, if the shot count is fixed, it can be said that delivering higher energy intensity is more beneficial.

At our clinic, we typically perform around 600 shots: 100 for the forehead, 400 for the mid-to-lower face, and 100 for under the chin and neck. For a larger facial area, we recommend around 900 shots. For the eyelids and area directly under the eyes, we recommend approximately 450 shots; if cost is a concern, 225 shots can be performed.

Thermage FLX is the 4th generation Thermage, featuring vibration technology and an improved cooling system that provides a much more comfortable experience than previous models. Energy delivery efficiency has also improved, producing more uniform results in the same treatment time.

Improvements in elasticity due to collagen regeneration begin to appear 1–2 months after the procedure, with peak effect reached around the 1-month mark. You can feel a slight firmness right after the procedure, and after one month you will see much more significant results.

Yes, Thermage regenerates collagen in the dermal layer to improve skin elasticity, making it effective for enlarged pores. It works particularly well on vertically drooping pores and pores on the cheek area. However, it is more effective for pores that have sagged due to aging than for congenitally large pores.

Thermage FLX has significantly reduced pain compared to previous Thermage models thanks to Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) and vibration system. However, we acknowledge it remains one of the most painful procedures available.

That said, since we apply pain-reducing pretreatments such as topical cream, nitrous oxide (gas), local, or IV sedation anesthesia, proper preparation and delivering strong energy is far more effective than lowering the energy level.

Yes, they can be performed together on the same day as the 'Ulthermage' combination treatment. Ultherapy handles deep lifting of the SMAS layer, while Thermage handles collagen regeneration and tightening of the dermal layer, creating synergistic effects layer by layer. This is ReYeonK's signature combination program.

Only hospitals that are official certified partners of Solta Medical can perform genuine Thermage FLX. Before the procedure, the doctor should open the genuine tip packaging in front of the patient and verify the certification number. ReYeonK uses only genuine tips and can provide a certification certificate.

Partial Thermage targeting specific areas like eye corners, mouth area, or neck is also available. The number of shots and cost will vary depending on the area, so it's best to decide after consultation.

The main reasons include using non-genuine equipment or tips, treating with insufficient energy, and inexperienced practitioners. The effect is maximized when genuine equipment, sufficient energy, and a skilled doctor perform the procedure directly.

Additionally, if Thermage was not the right treatment for a patient in the first place and the procedure was performed based on an incorrect treatment plan, the patient may feel it had no effect.

Thermage is not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, it's best to decide after consulting with a doctor. Please inform us during consultation if you are pregnant or planning to breastfeed.

Since Thermage's RF energy can affect filler, we perform the filler procedure immediately after the Thermage session, so there is no need to worry. Of course, this can all be done on the same day.

Pricing depends on the promotion currently running, the number of shots, the area treated, and whether it is combined with another procedure. Please check our monthly promotion page or message us for current pricing. Every session uses genuine tips, is performed by the director in person, and the output is set individually. The tip is unsealed in front of you and its authentication number verified before treatment.

Collagen regeneration from Thermage FLX progresses over 3–6 months post-treatment, with results typically lasting 10~12 months. Repeat sessions every 12–18 months are recommended for maintenance, depending on skin condition and age.

Yes. Thermage FLX has a dedicated EYE tip for eyelids and crow's feet. It's ideal for non-surgical hooded eyelid improvement and fine line reduction around the eyes. An EYE treatment is booked separately from the full-face session.

Thermage FLX uses RF energy to improve overall collagen, texture, pores, and elasticity throughout the dermis. Shurink uses HIFU to target the SMAS layer for lifting sagging skin. If your main concern is elasticity and texture, choose Thermage; for visible sagging and lifting, choose Shurink or Ultherapy.

ReYeonK is a Solta Medical officially certified clinic with a certified physician. You can inspect the device's authentication label and sealed tip packaging before your procedure. We transparently share the shot count and energy settings used during your treatment.

Day of treatment: cleansing and makeup are fine; avoid intense exercise, sauna, and alcohol for 2–3 days. First week: apply sunscreen diligently. Month 1: consult the doctor before combining with ablative laser procedures. Combining with Rejuran Healer or Skin Booster enhances collagen regeneration.

At ReYeonK, energy levels are adjusted in real time based on your skin thickness, elasticity, and pain tolerance. The goal is not maximum power but optimal power—maximizing results while minimizing risks. Sixteen years of clinical experience inform this precise calibration.
