LOUAVE Thermage FLX
Thermage FLX neck treatment, planned for firmness and definition.
Explore consultation-led Thermage FLX neck treatment in Seoul at LOUAVE Dermatology Clinic. Treatment planning considers neck-skin firmness, fine lines, texture, under-chin continuity, medical history and previous aesthetic procedures.
Thermage FLX is a non-surgical radiofrequency treatment. It does not remove substantial under-chin fat or reproduce the degree of tissue repositioning achieved through surgical neck lifting.

Treatment Overview

Radiofrequency treatment supporting neck-skin collagen remodelling.
Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar radiofrequency energy to selected skin layers. The generated heat is used to support collagen contraction and a gradual remodelling response.
LOUAVE lists the face and neck among its Thermage FLX treatment areas. Neck coverage and energy settings are selected after assessing skin thickness, laxity, lines, anatomy and individual treatment priorities.
Controlled radiofrequency
Energy is delivered through selected treatment areas according to skin response and the individual design.
Progressive skin response
Firmness and texture changes may continue developing gradually as collagen remodelling progresses.
Concerns Discussed During Consultation
Neck ageing involves more than one visible change.
Thermage FLX may be considered for selected firmness and skin-quality concerns. Loose skin, horizontal lines, muscle bands and under-chin fullness require separate assessment.
Reduced Neck Firmness
Treatment may be discussed when the neck skin appears less firm because of collagen-related ageing changes.
Fine Neck Lines
Fine lines may involve reduced collagen support, dryness, movement, sun exposure and other skin-quality factors.
Crepey-Looking Texture
Consultation may review whether radiofrequency tightening is suitable for selected thin or textured neck skin.
Jaw-to-Neck Transition
Selected treatment coverage may consider the visual connection between the jawline and upper neck.
Early Skin Laxity
Some patients discuss non-surgical tightening before neck laxity becomes more advanced.
Uneven Skin Quality
Dryness, pigmentation and surface texture may require additional skincare or laser-based treatment planning.
Neck Assessment

Similar neck concerns may require different treatment approaches.
Skin firmness, fat distribution, muscle activity, horizontal lines, neck anatomy and previous procedures are reviewed before Thermage FLX is recommended.
Skin Thickness
Skin thickness and sensitivity influence treatment coverage, energy selection and comfort planning.
Energy planningDegree of Laxity
Mild or moderate firmness concerns are distinguished from advanced tissue descent requiring other options.
Suitability assessmentUnder-Chin Fullness
Fullness caused mainly by fat may require a contouring treatment rather than radiofrequency tightening alone.
Different treatment priorityMuscle Bands
Prominent vertical neck bands may require an injectable or alternative treatment discussion.
Alternative option possibleNeck Lines
Horizontal lines may involve movement, skin quality, posture and volume-related factors.
Combination may applyPrevious Procedures
Fillers, threads, surgery and previous energy treatments should be disclosed before treatment.
Medical history required Thermage FLX Treatment Process
From neck assessment to post-treatment care.
This sequence adapts LOUAVE’s general Thermage FLX process. Preparation, coverage, energy and total appointment time vary according to individual assessment.
Individual Consultation
Neck firmness, lines, skin thickness, medical history and previous procedures are reviewed.
Cleansing & Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and device-specific preparation, including return-pad placement, is completed.
Treatment Mapping
Selected neck and jaw-to-neck areas are marked to guide systematic energy placement.
Radiofrequency Treatment
Controlled RF energy is delivered according to the treatment design and individual skin response.
Review & Calming Care
The neck is reviewed after treatment and suitable calming or moisturising care may be provided.
Recovery & Result Timeline
Neck-skin changes generally develop progressively.
Recovery and result timing vary. This timeline provides general guidance and does not guarantee the amount or duration of an individual response.
Treatment Day
Temporary warmth, redness, tenderness or swelling may occur in the treated neck area.
Early Recovery
Many patients return to regular daily activities quickly, although individual sensitivity varies.
From One Month
Gradual firmness or texture changes may become more noticeable as collagen remodelling develops.
Continued Development
Collagen-related changes may continue developing during the following months according to individual response.
Planning neck treatment during international travel
Share important events, photography sessions and departure dates with the clinic. Temporary redness, tenderness or swelling may occur even when normal activity is possible.
Treatment Suitability
Appropriate for selected neck-firmness concerns.
Treatment suitability cannot be confirmed from age or photographs alone. Neck anatomy, skin condition, implants and previous procedures require individual assessment.
Thermage FLX may be discussed when you:
- Have mild or moderate reduction in neck-skin firmness.
- Are concerned about fine lines or crepey-looking texture.
- 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 energy treatment.
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a medical condition.
- Expect surgical-level correction or substantial fat reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions before Thermage FLX neck treatment.
These answers provide general information. Final treatment details should be confirmed by LOUAVE following consultation.
What is Thermage FLX neck treatment?
Thermage FLX is a non-surgical radiofrequency treatment.
Controlled energy is delivered to selected neck areas
to support collagen contraction and gradual remodelling.
What neck concerns may be discussed?
Consultation may consider reduced skin firmness, fine
lines, crepey-looking texture and selected jaw-to-neck
continuity concerns. Suitability depends on the underlying cause.
Can Thermage FLX reduce a double chin?
Thermage FLX is primarily a skin-tightening treatment.
It should not be presented as substantial under-chin
fat removal. A contouring treatment may be discussed
when localised fat is the main concern.
How is Thermage Neck different from Ultherapy Neck?
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency and may be discussed
for skin firmness, density and texture. Ultherapy uses
focused ultrasound and may be discussed for selected
deeper lifting concerns.
How long does treatment take?
LOUAVE provides a general Thermage FLX procedure window
of approximately 40 minutes to one hour for its face and
neck treatment. Total visit time varies with consultation,
preparation and treatment coverage.
What does treatment feel like?
Patients may experience brief heating sensations followed
by cooling. Device vibration may also be used. Comfort
differs according to settings, treatment area and individual sensitivity.
When may results become noticeable?
Some patients may notice an early tightening sensation,
while collagen-related changes generally develop gradually.
LOUAVE notes more visible effects from around one month.
Is there downtime?
Many patients return to normal daily activities quickly.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or pain may occur,
and individual recovery experiences vary.
Can Thermage FLX replace a surgical neck lift?
No. Thermage FLX cannot reproduce the tissue removal
or repositioning achieved through surgery. Advanced
laxity may require discussion of other options.
Can international patients book before arriving?
International patients can contact LOUAVE before travelling
and share their neck concerns, previous treatments,
preferred dates and travel schedule. Final suitability
is confirmed after consultation.
