Is Higher Thermage Energy Better? 3 Expert Standards to Understand the Relationship Between Thermage Energy and Results

When it comes to Thermage FLX, the popular non-invasive skin tightening treatment, many people wonder:

1

1. How Thermage Energy Affects Your “Beauty Equation”

Thermage energy refers to the intensity or density of RF energy delivered during the treatment. This is not an arbitrary setting—it’s a key factor in treatment results.

Thermage FLX uses patented monopolar RF technology to safely and precisely deliver high-frequency energy into deep skin layers, creating a 3D heating effect. Energy penetrates the dermis up to 4.3mm, producing a gentle warming sensation.

The “level” of RF energy affects:

• Immediate collagen contraction and lifting effect
• Subsequent collagen regeneration

Proper energy levels stimulate collagen production, making skin firmer, more hydrated, and elastic, and significantly enhancing the lifting effect.

Because skin type, degree of laxity, and skin depth vary by individual and by treatment area, the optimal energy level differs for everyone. Only a professional assessment can determine the most suitable energy setting for safe and effective results.

2. Higher Energy = Better Results? The Golden Rule of Thermage Energy

Many assume that higher energy automatically means better results—but this is not true. Safety must always come first.

Balancing Safety and Effectiveness

• Too high: Risk of burns, severe discomfort, and compromised skin safety
• Too low: Insufficient heat effect, poor collagen stimulation, and negligible results

Intelligent Safety with Thermage FLX

Compared to older Thermage CPT, FLX offers the All-Purpose Smart Tip 4.0 with AccuREP™ technology, which:

• Monitors skin response in real-time
• Ensures uniform energy delivery into deep layers
• Maximizes collagen regeneration
• Reduces the risk of over- or under-treatment

Longevity and Individual Factors

Thermage results typically last 12–18 months, influenced not just by energy settings, but also by:

• Skin metabolism
• Collagen regeneration capacity
• Post-treatment care habits

These factors affect how long the lifting effect lasts.

3. How to Find Your Ideal Thermage Energy?

Choosing the right energy level is simple if done correctly:

Professional Assessment is Key

Experienced doctors or therapists determine the optimal energy based on:

• Skin condition (firmness, type)
• Facial contours
• Skin depth
• Desired results

For delicate areas like under the eyes, specialized eye tips and precise settings are essential for refined results.

Different Areas Require Different Settings

• Face (cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds)
• Eye area (fine lines, wrinkles)
• Neck (neck lines)

Each area has varying skin depth and sensitivity, requiring tailored energy and pulse settings.

Thorough Pre-Treatment Consultation

A full consultation ensures:

• Clear understanding of your desired results
• Professional evaluation of skin depth and condition
• Optimal treatment parameters

Some advanced clinics even use ultrasound imaging to analyze the SMAS layer for precision, improving treatment accuracy and results.
