Sponsored news: Thermage FLX: The 4th generation of radiofrequency skin-tightening devices from Solta Medical

Radiofrequency skin-tightening treatments have never been more popular, and patients are opting for them either as standalone treatments or as combination therapies within a full treatment plan to tighten and smooth the skin on face, eyes and body.

Thermage from Solta Medical has been a pioneer in non-invasive radiofrequency skin-tightening treatments for over 18 years. Thermage FLX is the 4^th generation of radiofrequency-based skin tightening treatments from Solta Medical and was made available in Europe in 2019.

Thermage FLX is a monopolar radiofrequency system for a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that stimulates the production of new collagen³ to help tone and tighten the skin on the face, under eyes, eyelids and body² for a more youthful appearance in a single session¹ with little or no downtime.²

Unlike many aesthetic procedures requiring multiple sessions, Thermage FLX delivers results after a single treatment¹, with results continuing to improve over time.^1,2

The Thermage FLX procedure involves sending radiofrequency energy waves to skin’s deeper layers. The produced heat causes existing collagen to contract, which causes a tightening effect and stimulates the production and growth of new collagen³ over a period of four to six months.⁴

After more than 18 years of expertise and innovation, Thermage has become one of the most trusted skin-tightening devices, with 2.5 million Thermage treatments performed worldwide.*

Thermage has demonstrated a good safety profile over the years and high patient satisfaction levels with 94% patient declaring the results met their extectations.⁵ Thermage FLX was also awarded Skin Tightening Treatment of the Year 2020 in the UK.⁶ (My Face My Body, UK).

Thermage FLX is suitable for both men and women of all skin types. Thermage FLX is FDA-cleared and CE-marked (CE 0344).

Thermage FLX key features:

• 25% faster treatments compared to the previous Thermage CPT version: allows to treat multiple areas ina one-hour session
• AccuREP Technology: the automatic calibration allows for optimised energy delivery to provide consistent output
• Improved patient comfort:⁷ the multidirectional vibration helps aid in patient comfort
• Versatility of the system: one handpiece to treat the face, eyes and body without the need to interchange any handpieces
• Enhanced touchscreen navigation: the updated interface is user-friendly and modern for a better user experience.
