Thinking about trying Thermage FLX (also known as Thermage 5th Generation)? Wondering whether 900 shots are enough to cover the whole face and neck? How much does Thermage cost? What is the price for 900 shots? And what new technology and benefits does the latest Thermage FLX offer? We’ll break it all down for you in this blog!

1. Is 900 Shots of Thermage FLX Enough for the Full Face?

Yes — 900 shots of Thermage FLX can effectively treat the entire face, and even extend to the upper neck. This higher shot count provides broader coverage and allows doctors to strengthen specific areas for a more comprehensive lifting and tightening effect.

Compared with 450 shots, 900 shots offer more energy coverage, making it ideal for:

• Those with more noticeable facial laxity
• People seeking full-face rejuvenation
• Clients who also want to include the neck area

2. Different Thermage FLX Handpieces & Shot Counts

Thermage FLX uses different tips (handpieces) and shot counts depending on the treatment area and goals:

1. Eye Tip (Green) – 450 shots

• Area: Upper & lower eyelids, eye corners, fine lines
• Depth: ~1.1mm (shallow)
• Benefits: Improves sagging eyelids, eye bags, fine lines, puffiness
• Duration: ~20–30 minutes
• Best for: Early signs of eye aging, frequent digital device users

2. Total Tip 4.0 (Purple) – 600 or 900 shots

• Thermage’s newest generation tip, with 33% larger coverage and 25% faster treatment speed than the previous blue tip
• Area: Face, neck, some body areas
• Depth: ~4.3mm (dermis + SMAS layer)
• Benefits: Full-face tightening, improves smile lines, marionette lines, sagging jawline, neck laxity, large pores, skin texture
600 shots: Suitable for younger clients with mild laxity, or for localized treatment (e.g. mid-lower face, cheeks, jawline) 900 shots: Best for full-face + partial neck coverage, offering more dramatic and longer-lasting results

3. Body Tip (Yellow) – 500 shots

• Area: Abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, above knees
• Depth: ~4.3mm
• Benefits: Improves skin laxity after weight loss or pregnancy, reduces cellulite, sculpts body contours
• Duration: ~60+ minutes depending on area

4. Total Tip 3.0 (Blue, older model) – 1200 shots

• Area: Face, neck, body
• Depth: ~4.3mm
• Similar to the purple tip but smaller coverage & slower speed; requires more shots to achieve similar effects

Choosing the right shot count depends on:

• Treatment area (eyes, face, body)
• Skin laxity (mild, moderate, severe)
• Desired results (localized vs. full-face tightening)
• Budget
• Doctor’s professional assessment

3. Is More Shots Always Better?

Not necessarily. Results depend on the right amount of accumulated heat energy delivered safely — not just having more shots.

The key is to undergo treatment at an official Thermage-certified clinic, performed by experienced doctors, to ensure both safety and results.

5. How to Choose a Safe Thermage FLX Clinic?

When comparing prices, don’t just look at numbers — consider safety, authenticity, and quality. A proper Thermage treatment should include:

• Authentic Thermage FLX tips & devices (factory-sealed, with serial numbers & anti-counterfeit labels)
• Performed by qualified doctors, not technicians
• Pre-treatment consultation & post-treatment care to ensure long-lasting results

Be wary of unusually low prices — they may involve counterfeit or reused tips, which carry risks and produce poor results.
