Treatment Overview
Forehead Smoothing with Thermage FLX is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) procedure performed in Korea to tighten the forehead skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar RF energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen remodeling and contraction without surgery.
This treatment improves forehead contour, softens horizontal lines and frown lines, and enhances overall skin texture. When combined with Juvelook skin boosters, the therapy provides additional hydration and elasticity, creating a smoother, youthful, and natural-looking forehead.
Purpose & Benefits

- Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen production for firmer forehead skin.
- Contour Improvement: Enhances smoothness and evenness of forehead surface.
- Natural Results: Gradual improvement without altering facial expression.
- Non-Invasive: No surgery, incisions, or downtime.
- Synergy-Ready: Can be combined with Juvelook or other skin boosters for hydration and elasticity.
