Treatment Overview
Jawline Contouring with Thermage FLX is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) procedure performed in Korea to define and tighten the jawline. Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar RF energy deep into the dermis and superficial fascia, stimulating collagen remodeling and contraction to improve jawline definition and reduce sagging.
Unlike surgical jawline lifts or invasive procedures, Thermage FLX offers natural contouring with no incisions or downtime. When combined with Juvelook skin boosters, the treatment enhances elasticity, hydration, and firmness, resulting in a more sculpted, youthful lower face.
Purpose & Benefits
- Jawline Definition: Tightens sagging skin and enhances lower-face contour.
- Skin Firming: Stimulates collagen for long-lasting firmness.
- Double Chin Reduction: Reduces submental laxity as part of overall contouring.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines along the jaw and lower face.
- Non-Invasive: No surgery, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery.
- Synergy-Ready: Can be combined with Juvelook or threads for enhanced lifting and hydration.
