Thermage FLX in Fresno, CA

Thermage FLX is designed to improve skin laxity, wrinkles, and changes in skin firmness across the face and body. At Revay Aesthetics, Thermage can be used to improve:

Face + Neck

• Mild to moderate skin laxity
• Loss of jawline definition
• Early jowling
• Loose skin beneath the chin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Nasolabial folds and lower face creasing
• Overall facial skin firmness

Eyes

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Crepey upper and lower eyelid skin
• Mild eyelid hooding
• Loss of firmness around the eye area

Body

• Loose or crepey skin on the abdomen
• Skin laxity on the arms and thighs
• Wrinkled or uneven skin texture
• Changes in skin firmness following weight fluctuations or aging
• The appearance of cellulite

Because Thermage focuses on collagen remodeling, it is particularly valuable for patients who want to improve skin firmness and definition without adding volume or significantly changing their natural facial features.

Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver controlled heat into the deeper, collagen rich layers of the skin while protecting the surface with integrated cooling.

As the tissue reaches a therapeutic temperature, existing collagen fibres begin to contract, creating an initial tightening response. The controlled heating also triggers the body's natural healing processes, encouraging collagen remodeling and the formation of new collagen over the following months.

Unlike fractional lasers or resurfacing treatments, Thermage works beneath the skin's surface without removing the outer layers. This allows us to improve skin firmness and wrinkles without the peeling or visible healing period associated with ablative resurfacing.

Thermage FLX also incorporates AccuREP technology, which automatically adjusts radiofrequency energy delivery with each pulse to support consistent, personalized treatment.

Specialized treatment tips allow us to address different areas of the face and body, including delicate skin around the eyes.

At Revay Aesthetics, Thermage treatments are customized based on your anatomy, degree of skin laxity, and the areas where collagen support has begun to change.

Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin laxity, facial or body contours, and overall treatment goals.

During treatment, a specialized Thermage handpiece is placed against the skin, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy into the underlying tissue.

Each pulse creates a brief heating sensation followed by cooling to help protect the skin's surface. Thermage FLX also incorporates vibration during applicable face and body treatments to improve patient comfort.

Most patients describe the sensation as alternating warmth and cooling, with occasional moments of more intense heat.

Treatment time varies depending on the size and number of areas being addressed. Smaller areas may take approximately 30–60 minutes, while comprehensive facial or body treatments can require additional time.

No incisions or injections are required, and patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately afterward.

Thermage results develop gradually as the skin responds to radiofrequency treatment.

Some patients notice an initial improvement in firmness shortly after their appointment due to collagen contraction. However, the more significant changes happen over the following 2–6 months as collagen remodeling continues.

As the skin's underlying collagen structure improves, patients may notice smoother wrinkles, firmer skin, and better definition through areas such as the jawline and lower face.

One of the biggest advantages of Thermage is that many patients can achieve visible improvement with a single treatment session, rather than requiring an initial series of appointments.

Individual results vary depending on age, skin quality, the degree of laxity, and the body's natural collagen response.

Thermage FLX results can last approximately 1–2 years, depending on your skin condition, lifestyle, and natural aging process.

While the treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, the skin continues to age, and collagen production naturally changes over time.

Many patients choose to incorporate Thermage into an annual skin maintenance plan to help preserve firmness and support long term skin quality.

Your Revay Aesthetics provider can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule based on your response to treatment and overall aesthetic goals.

One of the biggest advantages of Thermage is that it requires little to no downtime. Following treatment, you may experience:

• Mild redness
• Temporary warmth
• Slight swelling
• Mild tenderness or sensitivity in the treated area
  

These effects are generally temporary, with most patients returning to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.

Unlike laser resurfacing, Thermage does not typically cause peeling, flaking, or visible disruption of the skin's surface.

Your provider will review any necessary aftercare instructions, including maintaining a consistent skincare routine and daily broad-spectrum SPF.

Thermage may be ideal for patients who:

• Are noticing mild to moderate skin laxity
• Want to improve jawline definition without surgery
• Have fine lines or wrinkles related to collagen loss
• Are experiencing crepey skin around the eyes
• Want to improve firmness through the face, neck, or body
• Prefer a treatment with minimal downtime
• Want to maintain skin firmness as part of a long term aging strategy
• Are interested in collagen stimulation without adding facial volume

Thermage is particularly well suited for patients experiencing early to moderate changes in skin firmness who want gradual, natural looking improvement.

For patients with more advanced laxity or significant tissue descent, surgical procedures may provide more substantial lifting. Thermage is also not appropriate for everyone, including patients with certain implanted electronic devices.

A consultation at Revay Aesthetics will help determine whether Thermage is the right treatment for your skin and goals.
