How Long Does Thermage FLX Last?
Thermage FLX tightens skin gradually as collagen remodels, and changes are tracked over several months. Many patients maintain results with roughly yearly treatment, but how long it lasts varies with your skin, the shot count and how your skin ages.
Timeline
- Right after: temporary redness, warmth, swelling or tenderness
- Several months: elasticity improves as collagen remodels
- Follow-up: review and plan maintenance
What affects duration
- Starting skin laxity and thickness
- Shot count (300, 600 or 900 at our clinic)
- Sun protection and lifestyle
See Thermage FLX.
