Treatment Overview

Radiofrequency energy supporting collagen remodelling.
Thermage FLX delivers controlled radiofrequency energy into selected skin layers. The generated heat is used to support collagen contraction and a longer-term collagen remodelling response.
LOUAVE presents Thermage FLX for the face and neck, with consultation-led selection of treatment coverage and energy according to skin condition, facial anatomy and individual priorities.
Comfort-support features
Treatment may involve vibration, brief heating sensations and cooling at the skin surface.
Gradual skin response
Firmness and texture changes may develop progressively as collagen remodelling continues after treatment.
Concerns Discussed During Consultation
Treatment designed around firmness, texture and facial balance.
Thermage FLX may be discussed for several ageing-related concerns, but treatment coverage should follow assessment rather than one standard full-face pattern.
Reduced Firmness
Treatment may be considered when facial skin appears less firm because of collagen-related ageing changes.
Fine Facial Lines
Selected fine lines may be discussed, although expression, volume loss and sun damage can also influence their appearance.
Rough Skin Texture
Consultation may review whether radiofrequency tightening is appropriate for selected texture and density concerns.
Enlarged-Looking Pores
Pore appearance may be influenced by skin quality, oil production, scarring and collagen support.
Lower-Face Softness
Selected lower-face and jawline areas may be considered when reduced skin firmness affects visible definition.
Thin or Dry-Looking Skin
Skin density and dryness are assessed separately because energy treatment may not address every underlying cause.
How Thermage FLX Works
Meet the LOUAVE Doctors →
Controlled energy supporting the skin’s collagen structure.
Treatment planning balances energy delivery, skin response and comfort. The exact pattern is selected according to the facial areas and consultation findings.
Energy Delivery
Monopolar radiofrequency energy is delivered through the treatment tip to selected facial areas.
Controlled Heating
Heat is generated within targeted skin layers while surface-cooling features support skin protection.
Immediate Tissue Response
Existing collagen may contract in response to heat, although visible immediate change varies.
Gradual Remodelling
Collagen-related firmness and texture changes may develop progressively during the following months.
Thermage FLX Treatment Process
From consultation to post-treatment calming care.
The process below adapts LOUAVE’s Thermage FLX procedure. Exact treatment time and coverage depend on individual assessment and selected facial areas.
Individual Consultation
Skin firmness, texture, facial laxity, previous procedures and treatment priorities are reviewed.
Cleansing & Return Pad
The skin is cleansed and a return pad is positioned according to the device-treatment protocol.
Treatment Grid
A treatment grid or marker may be applied to guide systematic and even placement across selected areas.
Radiofrequency Treatment
Energy is delivered according to the customised design, skin response and selected treatment settings.
Review & Calming Care
The skin is reviewed after treatment and calming or moisturising care may be provided when suitable.
Recovery & Result Timeline
Skin changes generally continue developing gradually.
Visible response and recovery vary. The timeline below is general guidance and does not guarantee when or how much change an individual patient will experience.
Treatment Day
Temporary warmth, redness, tenderness or mild swelling may occur following radiofrequency treatment.
Early Recovery
Many patients return to regular daily activities quickly, although individual skin sensitivity varies.
From One Month
LOUAVE notes that more noticeable treatment effects may begin developing from approximately one month.
Continued Development
Collagen-related firmness and texture changes may continue developing progressively over the following months.
Planning Thermage FLX during a Seoul visit
Share important events, professional photography and departure dates with the clinic. Although many patients resume normal activity quickly, temporary redness, tenderness or swelling may still occur.
Treatment Suitability
Appropriate for selected firmness and texture concerns.
Suitability cannot be confirmed from age or photographs alone. Skin condition, medical history and previous procedures should be assessed before treatment.
Thermage FLX may be discussed when you:
- Have mild or moderate facial skin laxity.
- Are concerned about reduced firmness or skin density.
- Want to discuss a non-surgical tightening approach.
- Prefer gradual rather than surgical-style change.
- Understand that individual treatment response varies.
Additional review may be needed when you:
- Have a pacemaker, defibrillator or another electrical implant.
- Have active infection, irritation or open skin.
- Recently received fillers, threads or other energy treatments.
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a medical condition.
- Expect the same correction as surgical facial lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions before Thermage FLX face treatment.
These answers provide general information. Final treatment details should be confirmed by LOUAVE following individual consultation.
What is Thermage FLX face treatment?
Thermage FLX is a non-surgical radiofrequency treatment.
Controlled energy is delivered to selected facial areas
to support collagen contraction and gradual collagen
remodelling.
How is Thermage different from Ultherapy?
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency and is commonly
discussed for firmness, skin density and texture.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound and may be discussed
for selected deeper lifting concerns. Suitability varies.
How long does the treatment take?
LOUAVE provides a general Thermage FLX procedure window
of approximately 40 minutes to one hour. Consultation,
cleansing, preparation and post-treatment care may add
to the total appointment time.
Is numbing cream used?
LOUAVE lists topical numbing cream as part of treatment
preparation. Comfort varies, and patients may feel
alternating warmth, vibration and cooling.
When may results become noticeable?
Some patients may notice an early tightening sensation,
while more noticeable collagen-related changes generally
develop gradually. LOUAVE notes effects developing from
around one month.
Is there downtime?
Many patients return to regular activities quickly.
Temporary redness, tenderness or swelling may occur,
and less common effects are possible. Recovery varies.
Can Thermage FLX improve pores and texture?
Thermage FLX may be discussed when reduced collagen
support contributes to rough texture or enlarged-looking
pores. Other causes, including oil production or acne
scarring, may require different treatment.
Can Thermage FLX replace a facelift?
No. Thermage FLX cannot reproduce the tissue removal
or repositioning achieved through surgery. Patients with
advanced laxity may need to discuss other options.
Can I receive Thermage over facial fillers?
Previous fillers and their treatment dates should be
disclosed during consultation. Treatment timing and
coverage should be selected by the clinic after reviewing
the relevant history.
Can international patients book before arriving?
International patients can contact LOUAVE before
travelling and share their skin concerns, previous
procedures, preferred dates and travel schedule.
Final suitability is confirmed after consultation.
