Thermage FLX is the 4th generation model of the Thermage system, and it comes with several key differences compared to its previous versions. The main differences are as follows:
Technological Advancements: Thermage FLX offers improved performance through technological advancements. It incorporates upgraded technology to deliver more precise and effective thermal energy to the skin compared to the previous model.
Faster Treatment Time: Thermage FLX features capabilities that reduce treatment time. It can deliver shots at a faster speed than the previous model, allowing for shorter treatment sessions.
Enhanced Convenience: Thermage FLX has been designed with user convenience in mind. It provides a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easier to operate.
Increased Safety: Thermage FLX has also been enhanced in terms of safety. The skin protection mechanism and temperature control system have been improved to ensure safe operation and minimize the possibility of side effects.
Thermage FLX offers faster shot delivery, improved skin protection mechanisms, and enhanced temperature control compared to the previous model. As a result, some patients can experience a more comfortable treatment experience compared to the previous model.
ThermoG FLX can be used for various treatments, primarily laser skin rejuvenation, touch-up laser procedures, and laser hair removal. During the treatment, heat is generated, which may cause a slight tingling or sensitivity in the skin. However, ThermoG FLX rapidly cools the skin surface, minimizing discomfort.
This device is particularly helpful in minimizing post-treatment inflammation, redness, and swelling of the skin. The cooling function is applied directly to the treatment area, providing continuous cooling throughout the procedure.
While Thermage FLX’s cooling function helps reduce skin discomfort, individual pain tolerance may vary. Additionally, the degree of pain can vary depending on the type and method of treatment. Therefore, while Thermage FLX cannot completely eliminate pain, it can help minimize discomfort and provide a more comfortable treatment experience.
Managing Pain during Thermage Treatment
The level of pain experienced during Thermage treatment can vary depending on an individual’s sensitivity. Generally, Thermage treatment works by delivering low-level heat energy to the skin, which heats the skin tissue. As a result, some patients may feel mild warmth or slight discomfort.
The use of numbing cream should be determined through consultation with a doctor or a dermatology specialist to ensure pain management and comfort for the patient. Some patients may prefer using numbing cream for their Thermage treatment.
For Thermage FLX, which has a cooling feature, sufficient pain relief can be achieved without the use of numbing cream.
Furthermore, not using numbing cream can reduce the time required for cream absorption, which can shorten the overall treatment time.
However, when choosing not to use numbing cream, the degree of pain may vary depending on individual pain sensitivity and the type of procedure. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with medical professionals to make a decision based on individual circumstances.
For pain management using Thermage FLX, it is recommended to consult with a medical professional to determine the most suitable treatment method and whether to use Thermage FLX.
