Treatment Overview
Skin Lifting Program with Thermage FLX is a comprehensive non-invasive facial and neck rejuvenation protocol performed in Korea, designed to lift, firm, and tighten sagging skin. Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the dermis and superficial fascia, stimulating collagen remodeling and neocollagenesis to improve elasticity, restore contours, and enhance overall skin quality.
Unlike isolated treatments, this program combines full-face, midface, jawline, brow, eye, and neck RF sessions (and optionally Juvelook skin boosters) into a coordinated plan for optimal lifting and long-term skin rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Comprehensive Lifting: Addresses sagging across the face, neck, jawline, brows, and eyes.
- Collagen Stimulation: Promotes long-term improvement in skin elasticity and firmness.
- Contour Enhancement: Refines jawline, midface, and brow positions.
- Wrinkle & Fine Line Reduction: Smooths nasolabial folds, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
- Hydration & Skin Quality: Enhanced when combined with Juvelook skin boosters.
- Non-Invasive & Synergy-Ready: Safe, minimal discomfort, and compatible with other aesthetic treatments.
Ideal Candidates
- Men and women in their 30s–60s seeking overall facial and neck lifting.
- Individuals with sagging cheeks, jowls, brows, eyelids, or neck skin.
- Patients seeking natural, gradual lifting without surgery.
