Why does Thermage keep getting better after you leave the clinic? Spoiler: it’s collagen interest 💸
Ever looked in the mirror and met a stranger? 😳 Your cheeks slid south, your smile lines look highlighted with a marker, and gravity seems to have a personal grudge against you.
Today we’re decoding Thermage FLX, a popular skin-tightening treatment, and the mystery behind why people say it improves over time. It’s not a savings account. It’s collagen.
🧱 Step 1: Your skin is a mattress
The dermis is the springy layer. Collagen is the springs and elastin is the bounce. In your 20s, it’s a brand-new hotel bed. Collagen declines roughly 1% a year after your mid-20s, so
eventually your mattress sags like a 10-year-old dorm bed.
🔥 Step 2: Radiofrequency is a microwave for your skin
Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper dermis from the inside out. The surface is cooled during treatment, so it’s iced coffee on top and warm soup underneath.
Delivers high-frequency energy deep into the skin with a vibration and cooling system to provide a comfortable and safe treatment.
