    What does Thermage body treatment involve?

    Thermage FLX is a non-invasive, non-ablative device that uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat the underlying skin while protecting the epidermis to produce skin tightening. It is the most advanced version of Thermage body treatment, with improvements in speed, comfort and effectiveness.

    Dr Adriana Ribe follows a specific protocol and defines personalised firming tension lines for each patient. It can be used on any skin colour and at any time of year.

    How does Thermage body radiofrequency work?

    • Thermage body radiofrequency generates heat at different levels and at different intensities beneath the skin.
    • The contraction and denaturation of collagen due to temperature increase the likelihood of achieving the desired rejuvenating and tightening effects.
    • The temperature reached by body radiofrequency treatment depends on the frequency and power of the devices used and on the characteristics of the treatment tips.
    • It uses AccuRE technologyTM which automatically adjusts the energy according to the skin’s resistance, while vibration pulses and cooling make the treatment more tolerable.
    sessions

    Number of Thermage sessions

    The number of Thermage body radiofrequency sessions required is one session lasting approximately one and a half hours without anaesthesia. The body-firming benefits may last around 2 years depending on the type and condition of the skin.

    An annual maintenance session is recommended.

    sessions

    Recommendations after a Thermage body treatment session

    After the session, you may notice mild warmth and redness, which usually subside within a few hours; soothe the area with cool compresses (without applying ice directly) and use a gentle repairing cream.

    Price of a Thermage FLX body treatment session

    The price of Thermage FLX for the body ranges from €1,800 to €3,500 (guideline price).

    It varies according to the size of the areas treated, the tip and number of pulses (coverage), the degree of skin laxity and the treatment time.

    indications

    Results

    Thermage body treatment provides a subtle immediate tightening effect and progressive improvement in firmness and texture. The changes become established between week 6 and months 3–6, with results that usually last for up to 18–24 months after a single session and without significant social downtime.

    Frequently asked questions about Thermage

    For many years, surgery has been the reference treatment for the aesthetic effects of ageing and skin laxity, but non-surgical methods have always been an attractive option because they are minimally invasive and recovery time is shorter.

    Radiofrequency (RF) tissue tightening was developed to create thermal effects in the dermis without external skin injury. Tissue tightening was one of the first dermatological uses of radiofrequency, as an alternative or complement to non-ablative laser technologies.

    Thermal contraction of collagen can be applied to the skin for aesthetic rejuvenation and to improve skin laxity and signs of ageing.

    When the skin begins to lose firmness and appears lax, from around the age of 35–40, and we want to firm it. It is not as effective at very advanced ages when skin laxity is very pronounced. This is why it is important to have body radiofrequency treatment at an earlier age as a preventive measure.

    No, anaesthesia is not required before a Thermage body treatment session.

    If the skin feels comfortable, make-up can be used on the same day; reintroduce potent active ingredients (retinoids or acids) gradually from days 3–7. Do not have chemical peels, laser or other energy-based treatments on the area until advised.

    Yes, normal social activities can be resumed immediately.

    Thermage body treatment is useful when the aim is to tighten and improve skin quality without surgery, in cases of mild to moderate skin laxity and with realistic expectations of progressive results.

    Suitable candidate profile

    • Mild to moderate skin laxity on the abdomen, arms, buttocks and thighs, with little fat and good muscle tone.
    • Any skin phototype and any time of year (with appropriate sun protection).
    • Prefers a single session with little downtime and improvement that increases over the following weeks (neocollagenesis).
    • Willing to maintain appropriate habits (sun protection, moisturising) and, where appropriate, have annual maintenance sessions.

    Cases where it works particularly well

    • Mild skin laxity on the abdomen, knees, inner arms, thighs and buttocks, with good muscle tone and little subcutaneous fat
    • Prejuvenation: maintaining collagen in the skin from the age of 30–35.

    Limitations or when it is not ideal

    • It is not a surgical lift and, although it tightens the skin, it will not match the results of lifting surgery
    • Results depend considerably on each person’s biology (how much collagen they can regenerate, their rate of ageing, lifestyle habits, etc.)

    Thermage body treatment firms the body (abdomen, buttocks, knees, inner arms and thighs) without leaving any marks or bruising. It has no side effects and the patient can resume social activities immediately.

    Expected and temporary effects, which are virtually absent but should be mentioned in some patients:

    • Redness and warmth in the area (minutes to hours).
    • Mild oedema/tenderness 24 hours.
    • Tightness or a stiff feeling for 24 hours

    Uncommon

    • Small areas of burning or blistering if the energy is not distributed correctly.
    • Localised bruising due to pressure from the tip.
    • Pigment changes (hypo-/hyperpigmentation) in very reactive skin or following inappropriate sun exposure after treatment.
    • Asymmetry or a less visible result than expected (the collagen response varies from person to person).

    Contraindications and precautions:

    • Pregnancy and breastfeeding (subject to medical assessment).
    • Pacemakers/ICDs or other implanted electronic devices: not candidates for monopolar RF.
    • Metal implants or permanent threads in the treatment area: risks/alternatives should be assessed.
    • Active skin infections, severe dermatitis or recent wounds.
    • Recent fillers in the area (hyaluronic acid or biostimulators): to be assessed by the doctor (timing/areas should be adjusted).
