Thermage FLX Skin Tightening | Navila Aesthetic Lounge, Tustin CA

Heat, contract, rebuild

Thermage delivers monopolar radiofrequency into the dermis while cooling the surface of the skin. The heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract immediately and triggers the production of new collagen over the months that follow. The FLX generation adjusts energy in real time to the resistance of your tissue, which is what makes a single treatment both more comfortable and more consistent than earlier radiofrequency systems.

Why patients choose Thermage

It is the treatment for skin that has lost its firmness — when the texture has gone crepey and finely lined, and you want it tightened without a series of appointments.

One session, done

A full course of energy is delivered in a single visit. There is no package to commit to and no schedule to keep — you come once, and the result builds from there.

Safe around the eyes

FDA-cleared for the eyelid area with a dedicated tip. It is one of the few non-surgical options for crepey upper lids and fine lines beneath the eyes.

Every skin tone

Radiofrequency does not target pigment, so Thermage carries none of the pigmentation risk that light-based devices pose for deeper skin tones.

Face and body

The same technology treats crepey skin on the neck, décolletage, abdomen, arms, and knees — areas where firmness is hard to restore any other way.

What the timeline looks like

Thermage is typically a single treatment, with results that continue improving long after you leave.

DAY 0

Immediate Contraction

Existing collagen tightens during the session, so many patients notice firmer skin the same day.

MONTHS 2–6

New Collagen

The deeper benefit builds gradually as your skin lays down new collagen in the treated layers.

UP TO 2 YEARS

It Holds

Most patients maintain their result for a year or two, then repeat as new laxity develops.

Where Thermage works

Because the tip size and energy are adjustable, Thermage treats delicate areas that many devices cannot.

How many sessions do I need?

Usually one. That is part of what patients like about Thermage — unlike treatments that require a series, a single session delivers the full course of energy, and results build from there.

Does it hurt?

You feel alternating heat and cooling with each pulse. The FLX system is noticeably more comfortable than earlier Thermage generations, and we adjust settings throughout to keep you within a tolerable range.

Is it safe around the eyes?

Yes — Thermage is FDA-cleared for treatment of the eyelid area with a dedicated tip, which is one of the few non-surgical options for crepey upper lids and fine lines beneath the eyes.

Does it work on all skin tones?

Radiofrequency does not target pigment, so Thermage is appropriate across skin types without the pigmentation risk that some light-based devices carry for deeper skin tones.

Is there downtime?

None. Some redness or mild swelling can last a few hours. You can wear makeup and return to normal activity immediately.

Real patients, real results

Thermage is the treatment we reach for when the complaint is skin quality — crepey texture around the eyes, fine lines across the cheeks, a face that has softened without yet dropping. Here is what a single session does, area by area.

Eye Area

The area almost nothing else can treat

Thermage is FDA-cleared for the eyelids with a dedicated tip. Crepey upper lids and fine lines beneath the eyes are the hardest concern to address without surgery — and the one patients notice most in photographs.

Full Face

Firmer skin across the whole face

A full-face Thermage treats the cheeks, jawline, and neck in one session. Skin reads tighter and smoother rather than pulled, and the result keeps building as new collagen forms over the following months.

Single session

Cheeks & Jawline

Definition returns to the lower face

As the skin envelope tightens, the transition from cheek to jaw reads cleaner. Patients often describe it as their face looking “less tired” rather than visibly treated.
