Treatment Overview
Neck Tightening with Thermage FLX is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) procedure performed in Korea to firm and lift loose or sagging neck skin. Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar RF energy deep into the dermis and superficial fascia, stimulating collagen production and remodeling to improve elasticity, tighten skin, and reduce the appearance of horizontal neck lines and mild jowling.
Unlike surgical neck lifts, this treatment achieves natural-looking results without incisions or downtime. When combined with Juvelook skin boosters, it enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin quality for a smoother, youthful neck contour.
Purpose & Benefits
- Neck Skin Firming: Tightens loose, sagging skin on the neck and submental area.
- Wrinkle & Line Reduction: Softens horizontal neck lines and mild platysmal bands.
- Collagen Stimulation: Promotes long-term improvement in elasticity and resilience.
- Natural Rejuvenation: Subtle, gradual lifting with natural contour enhancement.
- Non-Invasive: Safe, minimally uncomfortable, and no recovery downtime.
- Synergy-Ready: Can be combined with Juvelook, thread lifts, or RF microneedling for enhanced results.
