When it comes to fighting the signs of aging, Thermage FLX is an increasingly popular treatment option. But like any cosmetic procedure, there are a lot of myths and misunderstandings surrounding the process. To help set the record straight, 

here are 9 common myths about Thermage FLX:

Myth #1 : Thermage FLX will make you look unnatural or overfilled

Thermage FLX is designed to give natural-looking results, not an overfilled or overly tight appearance. As with any skin treatments, it is important to talk to your doctor beforehand so they can recommend the right treatment for you.

Myth #2 : Thermage FLX will cause pain

Although there may be some sensations of heat during the procedure, the amount of discomfort is minimal and most patients are able to tolerate it easily. A topical anesthetic cream can also be applied prior to treatment in order to reduce any potential pain or discomfort.

The treatment is relatively quick and typically takes around one hour to complete, with most people able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Myth #3 : Thermage FLX is only for the face

While it can be used to treat the face, Thermage FLX can also be applied to other areas of the body such as the neck, abdomen, hands and knees.

Myth #4 : Results are immediate

No, Thermage FLX results are not immediate. Although some people may experience some mild tightening after treatment, results usually become noticeable within two months and are best after 6 months. It is important to keep in mind that thermage treatments need to be repeated periodically in order to maintain long-term results.

Myth #5 : Thermage FLX is a perfect treatment with no side effects

Although rare, there are some potential side effects associated with Thermage FLX treatments. These can include redness, swelling or bruising around the treated area. Additionally, some patients may experience a feeling of tightness that can last for several hours after treatment.

Your doctor will discuss any potential risks associated with the procedure prior to treatment. It’s also important to keep in mind that results may vary depending on an individual’s age, lifestyle and skin condition.

Myth #6 : You will only need 1 treatment to see results

The amount of treatments needed can depend on several factors such as your age, lifestyle, skin condition and desired results. Generally speaking, it usually takes between 1-3 sessions to achieve optimal results. Your doctor may recommend additional sessions if you want more dramatic or longer lasting results. Your doctor may also advise multiple modalities of treatment to get better results, such as combining with other complementing treatments such as Fillers, Botulinum Toxin etc.

It’s therefore important to discuss all available options with your doctor so they can advise which treatment plan is right for you.

Myth #7 : Results are permanent

Results from Thermage FLX typically last up to two years, however it is not a permanent solution. To maintain desired results, it is important to follow your doctor’s post-treatment instructions and keep up with regular maintenance sessions as recommended. This will help ensure that you get the most out of your treatments for longer lasting results.

Myth #8 : Thermage FLX can cause scarring

No, Thermage FLX does not typically lead to scarring. Although there may be mild redness or swelling in the treated area after treatment, this should subside within a few days without leaving any lasting marks or scars on the skin. With proper care and attention following treatment, you should see beautiful and natural looking results with no visible signs of scarring.

Conclusion

Overall, Thermage FLX is a cosmetic treatment option for those looking to reduce the signs of aging and restore their youthful complexion. It is important to consult a board-certified doctor or skincare professional before making any decisions regarding health-related treatments or procedures.

By following a good skincare regimen and protecting your skin from sun exposure, you can maximize the effects of Thermage FLX treatment and enjoy natural-looking results that last for years to come.
