Your Thermage FLX Experience at BodyLase

Thermage FLX is a single-session treatment with results that build over months. Here’s what you can expect, from consultation to follow-up.

Step 1

Consultation

Your provider will review your medical history and skin concerns, confirm no contraindications are present, and discuss what Thermage can realistically achieve for your specific skin laxity and goals.

Step 2

Treatment Preparation

On the day of your appointment, your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a temporary grid on the area being treated. ProNox® is available throughout the session for your comfort, and a squeezy ball or vibration distractor tool is offered for additional comfort management.

Step 3

Your Thermage Treatment

Once you’re ready, your provider will deliver across the treatment area. Settings begin at level 3.0 and are adjusted based on your feedback. The sensation should feel hot but tolerable.

Step 4

Follow-Up & Results

Post-treatment, the marking grid is removed and your skin is cleaned. You’ll be seen for follow-up appointments at 3 months and 6 months after your Thermage FLX session to assess collagen remodeling progress and take comparison photos. While initial tightening may be visible immediately after treatment; the most significant results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months.

Is Thermage FLX Right for You?

Thermage delivers the best outcomes for clients with mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking visible improvement without surgery. It’s most effective when there is still meaningful collagen present for the RF energy to act on—clients with significant, advanced laxity may find surgical consultation more appropriate for their goals. Thermage FLX is also a strong fit for clients who have lost weight (including through use of GLP-1s), and want to address skin quality changes without a surgical procedure. If you’re looking for additional support, Thermage pairs seamlessly with Clear + Brilliant Laser or Fraxel.

Thermage FLX Tightens More Than Skin

Clients start using Thermage FLX for skin firming—but many find other positive effects post-session.

A Non-Surgical Alternative with Real Results
For clients who have been told they're surgical candidates for a facelift, neck lift, or brow lift but aren't ready for that commitment, Thermage FLX offers a meaningful, medically grounded alternative.
Reversing Post-Weight-Loss Skin Changes
Clients who have lost significant weight—whether through lifestyle changes or GLP-1s—often find that the skin doesn't fully snap back on its own. Thermage FLX stimulates the collagen production needed to firm and tighten skin that has lost its structural support, complementing the weight loss results, diet, and exercise shifts.
The Confidence of Investing Once
Unlike treatments that require a series of sessions to see results, Thermage FLX works from a single appointment with progressive improvement over months. For clients with busy schedules who want a high-impact, low-frequency treatment option, the once-a-year or once-every-two-years Thermage FLX model fits naturally.

FAQs About Thermage

Below are the most common questions from clients considering Thermage FLX in Raleigh.

Thermage FLX is designed as a single treatment that produces results over 3 to 6 months—it’s not a series like microneedling or laser. Some clients choose to come back around the 6-month mark to bank additional collagen while the skin is still in an active remodeling phase. From there, retreating every 1 to 2 years helps maintain and build on results as the natural aging process continues to break down collagen over time. Your BodyLase provider will assess your outcomes at follow-up and discuss timing for any future sessions based on how your skin responded.

Results from a single Thermage session typically last 1 to 2 years for most clients, with the collagen remodeling response peaking around the 6-month mark. Because the underlying aging process continues, most clients plan a follow-up treatment every 12 to 24 months to sustain their results. Consistent sun protection and a quality skincare routine help preserve the improvement between sessions.

Thermage FLX produces a significant heating sensation during treatment—settings should feel hot but tolerable, and your provider adjusts the energy level based on your real-time feedback throughout the session. BodyLase offers ProNox (nitrous oxide) as a comfort add-on for Thermage clients, which makes the heat sensations significantly more manageable for most people. A vibration distractor tool is also available throughout the session to reduce perceived discomfort.

Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency delivered through a surface tip with no needles, targeting deeper tissue layers for tightening and volumetric lifting. Morpheus8 uses RF energy delivered through microneedles, which remodel both the dermis and superficial fat layer while also improving surface skin quality and texture. Thermage tends to excel for broader lifting and tightening effects, while Morpheus8 is better for skin texture, fine lines, and targeted facial remodeling. Your BodyLase provider can help you determine the best approach for your specific concerns.

Some clients notice a subtle tightening effect immediately after treatment as existing collagen contracts in response to the heat. The more significant and lasting results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as new collagen is produced. BodyLase schedules follow-up appointments at 3 and 6 months specifically to document and compare progress during this window—so you can see the change objectively through before-and-after photography.

Yes—Thermage FLX is used for both facial and body applications, with different treatment tips selected based on the area. Body applications include the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, knees, buttocks, and decolletage. It’s also a popular option for clients dealing with post-weight-loss laxity or post-pregnancy skin changes who want to improve skin quality without surgery. Your provider will assess the specific area and determine the appropriate tip and energy settings during your consultation.
