Treatment Overview
Skin Renewal Thermage FLX is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments in Korea for restoring youthful, radiant, and firm skin. Using monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology, Thermage heats the deep dermal layers to trigger collagen contraction and stimulate new collagen production.
Unlike injectables or surgical lifts, Thermage naturally strengthens the skin’s support structure, improving elasticity, smoothness, and overall skin quality. The latest FLX system, widely used in Korean dermatology clinics, enhances comfort, shortens treatment time, and delivers more precise results—making it the gold standard for skin renewal and anti-aging care.
Purpose and Benefits
- Skin Renewal: Revitalizes tired, aging skin for a healthy glow.
- Firming & Tightening: Reduces sagging in cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines and deeper creases.
- Collagen Remodeling: Rebuilds skin structure for long-term firmness.
- Texture Improvement: Makes skin smoother, thicker, and more elastic.
- Non-Invasive: No downtime, cuts, or anesthesia required.
- Lasting Results: Youthful, renewed skin for 12–24 months.

Skin Renewal Thermage is recommended for:
