Post-Treatment Care for Thermage FLX: Cost, Results, Applicator Types, and Aftercare

As we age, issues such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of facial definition become increasingly common concerns. One of the most talked-about solutions in recent years is Thermage FLX (also known as Phoenix Thermage)—a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment that effectively stimulates collagen regeneration and tightens skin.

1. Thermage FLX Aftercare: 7 Essential Tips

Although Thermage FLX is non-invasive, the skin still goes through a repair process—from instant tightening to longer-term collagen production. Proper aftercare is crucial to maximise results and comfort.

1. Avoid harsh products for 24 hours

Pause use of acids, brightening agents, or exfoliating scrubs to prevent irritation.

2. Focus on hydration and gentle cleansing

Post-treatment skin may feel dry; use alcohol-free, hypoallergenic moisturisers and mild cleansers.

3. Daily sun protection

Use SPF 30+ sunscreen every day and avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent pigmentation.

4. Avoid high-heat environments and intense exercise

For 3–5 days, skip saunas, hot yoga, steam baths, or hot springs to reduce risk of redness or irritation.

5. Don’t rub or massage treated areas

Especially around the eyes and face, avoid pulling or pressing on skin that is still in repair mode.

6. Soothe redness with short cold compresses

If mild swelling or heat occurs, apply a clean towel-wrapped ice pack for under 10 minutes at a time.

7. Avoid invasive treatments or chemical processes for one week

Delay hair coloring, perming, or other aesthetic treatments such as laser, microneedling, or IPL until your doctor advises.

2. What is Thermage FLX? The Science Behind Phoenix Thermage

Thermage FLX is the 5th generation of Thermage technology from Solta Medical (U.S.), a non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency treatment designed for lifting, tightening, and wrinkle reduction.

By delivering RF energy deep into the dermis and even the SMAS layer, Thermage FLX generates controlled heat, causing instant collagen contraction and stimulating new collagen formation over time. The result: firmer skin, improved contours, and a smoother, more youthful appearance.

The biggest innovation of FLX is its AccuREP™ intelligent energy optimisation system, which adjusts RF delivery in real time for maximum precision and safety. Together with advanced cooling and new-generation applicators (e.g., Eye Tip, Total Tip, Body Tip), Thermage FLX offers tailored treatments for eyes, face, and body.
