When it comes to the most popular and effective anti-aging technique in the world, we have to think of the legendary American Thermage, an anti-aging magic tool that can allow you to travel through time and fight against the earth’s gravity.
Thermage comes from Solta Medical, the leading American medical beauty technology manufacturer. It was invented by Dr. Edward W. Knowlton in 1995 and has obtained three certifications from the US FDA, EU CE and China CFDA. It is the only device allowed by the FDA to be used for tightening, lifting and wrinkle removal of the upper and lower eyelids, ensuring its safety to the human body. It has 33 authorized patents worldwide and is globally recognized as a top medical beauty device that can achieve significant lifting, tightening and wrinkle removal effects with a single treatment.
Since the launch of the first generation of Thermage Cool System in 2002, with the optimization and iteration of the instrument, it has now developed to the latest fifth generation, which is the Thermage FLX introduced by Ai Beauty. The fourth generation of Thermage CPT was once known in the industry as the “anti-aging magic knife”. Now the new generation of Thermage FLX: F stands for FASTER, L stands for ALGORITHM, and X stands for EXPERIENCE. FLX boasts three major performance improvements. This is an ultimate anti-aging aesthetic treatment about collagen explosion.
The essence of Thermage is actually Radio Frequency, which is a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic wave. The principle can be simply described as follows: Thermage uses a patented treatment probe to directly and accurately act on the dermis, heating the dermis to 65℃~75℃, stimulating the body to start the self-repair mechanism: a large amount of collagen in the dermis is generated, and at the same time, an immediate firming effect is produced, making the skin instantly firm. The configured epidermal cooling system controls the epidermal temperature at 35℃-45℃ to avoid epidermal burns.
As an anti-aging magic weapon, Thermage FLX uses a single-stage capacitively coupled radio frequency system for non-invasive wrinkle and skin tightening procedures. It can integrate tuned pulses into each high-frequency energy pulse (REP). These tuned pulses automatically measure local impedance values and adjust energy output parameters to provide consistent energy to each treatment area, making the skin receive more uniform energy, and the effect is better than the fourth generation.
Compared with the fourth-generation Thermage probe 3.0, the Thermage FLX TOTAL TIP 4.0 has a treatment probe coverage area that is nearly one-third larger, and both the coverage area and treatment speed have been improved. FLX’s core technology, ACCUREP™ technology, can optimize the energy output program and tune each pulse in real time to make the energy output more uniform and the treatment effect more precise. The intermittent radio frequency pulse Pulse RF, injection cooling, and vibration design block the transmission of pain signals to the brain, and can automatically adjust the energy to prevent burns and improve treatment comfort.
In general, Thermage’s radiofrequency technology can stimulate collagen growth, tighten skin, and complete face rejuvenation. It is effective on many parts of our body, such as face, eyelids, hands, neck, and other parts of the body. It can bring the following great effects: Stimulate collagen production, Smoother skin texture, Firmer, tighter skin, Softened lines and wrinkles, Reduction in the appearance of acne and acne scars, Improved jawline definition, Anti-aging, etc.
Compared with Ultherapy, Thermage focuses on rhytidectomy, tightening, and superficial fat removal, and is more suitable for people with slightly sagging skin. If I have to distinguish, I think Ultherapy can thin fat, and is more suitable for young people with high fat content. People with low fat content are prone to sagging after Ultherapy. Therefore, people with less fat can choose Thermage, which is more suitable for people with less fat and sagging skin, such as many young girls who want to fight against early aging, plump up their faces, and stimulate collagen.
