ABOUT THE TREATMENT
What Is Thermage FLX Body?
Thermage FLX Body is the body application of the Thermage FLX radiofrequency platform — one of the most clinically established non-surgical skin tightening technologies available. Using monopolar radiofrequency technology, the body tip delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue — stimulating collagen remodelling, improving skin firmness, and smoothing the appearance of skin laxity and crepiness across larger surface areas.
The treatment is particularly well suited to clients who have noticed a loss of skin firmness following pregnancy, weight changes, or natural ageing — and who are looking for a non-surgical approach to improving skin quality on the body.
TREATMENT AREAS
Body Areas Thermage FLX Can Address.
Abdomen
Loss of skin firmness and crepiness following pregnancy, weight changes, or ageing — particularly the lower abdomen.
Arms
Loose or crepey skin on the upper and inner arms — an area where skin laxity is often resistant to exercise alone.
Thighs
Inner and outer thigh laxity, and skin texture and firmness changes associated with cellulite and skin ageing.
Buttocks
Skin laxity and loss of tone in the gluteal area — addressed with targeted body tip application.
Décolletage
Fine lines, crepiness, and loss of skin quality on the chest — treated with the body or face tip depending on the specific presentation.
Suitability for each area is confirmed at consultation. Not all areas are appropriate for all individuals.

HOW IT WORKS
Radiofrequency Energy. Working From Within the Skin.
Thermage FLX Body delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy through a large surface-area body tip, heating the dermis and underlying connective tissue to a precise therapeutic temperature. The AccuREP™ system automatically calibrates the energy delivered with each pulse based on real-time feedback — improving precision and consistency across the treatment area.
01
Consultation
Your practitioner assesses your skin, discusses your concerns and goals, and confirms whether Thermage FLX Body is appropriate for your presentation and the areas you’d like to address.
02
Preparation
A treatment grid is applied to the skin to guide handpiece placement. A return pad is positioned. No anaesthesia is required for most clients.
03
45–90 minutes per area
Treatment
The Thermage FLX body handpiece delivers controlled RF pulses systematically across the treatment area. AccuREP™ calibrates each pulse in real time while the integrated cooling system supports comfort throughout.
04
Results
Some tightening may be noticeable within a few weeks. Collagen remodelling continues over 2–6 months, with progressive improvement in skin firmness and texture. Results typically last 1–2 years.

SUITABILITY
Who Is Thermage FLX Body Suited To?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thermage FLX Body a weight loss or fat reduction treatment?
No — Thermage FLX Body targets skin laxity and firmness, not subcutaneous fat. It is most appropriate for clients at or near their goal weight who are looking to improve skin quality in specific areas. For fat reduction, treatments such as Lipocel or MiniFx may be more appropriate — your practitioner will advise.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see meaningful improvement from a single session. Maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 1–2 years depending on individual response and ongoing skin ageing. Your practitioner will outline the recommended programme at consultation.
Is Thermage FLX Body painful?
During treatment, clients may feel brief sensations of heat with each RF pulse. The built-in cooling system helps manage heat at the skin surface throughout. Most clients find the treatment well tolerated. Tolerance varies between individuals and areas.
How soon will I see results?
Some clients notice initial improvements in skin texture within a few weeks of treatment. Collagen remodelling continues for 2–6 months post-treatment, with results developing progressively over this period. Individual outcomes vary.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients return to normal activities immediately following treatment. Temporary redness or mild swelling in the treated area may occur and typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
Is Thermage FLX Body suitable after pregnancy?
Thermage FLX Body is a popular option for clients looking to address abdominal skin laxity following pregnancy and breastfeeding. Treatment is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding — your practitioner will advise on appropriate timing post-partum.
Can Thermage FLX Body be combined with other treatments?
Yes — Thermage FLX Body is frequently combined with fat reduction treatments such as Lipocel, or with Morpheus8 Body for a more comprehensive body remodelling result. Your practitioner will recommend appropriate combinations at consultation.
