How to Maximize the Benefits of Thermage FLX with Proper Aftercare
Thermage FLX is the state-of-art, the newest generation system for non-invasive skin tightening from Solta Medical. It optimizes the use of radiofrequency energy to induce skin tightening and new collagen formation.
So, should you find yourself going for a treatment session soon, here’s a quick look at how to ensure good results!
Are there any special preparations needed for Thermage?
There’s not much to prepare prior to your session compared with surgery, but here are important reminders.
Inform us if you have any metal implants and piercings.
Disclose any active skin infections.
Remove metal jewelry before your treatment.
Do not wear contact lenses if you plan to have eye Thermage procedure.
Be well hydrated before your Thermage treatment.
Post-Thermage Reminders
There may be no special protocols to follow, but there are some ways to boost results.
1. Skin Care
The skin can be sensitive and dry after treatment. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Use hydrating masks or moisturizer to the treatment area. Also, daily use of good skin care products, such as topical Vitamin C is recommended to achieve and maintain optimal results.
2. Rest
Good night’s rest will complement the collagen renewal triggered by Thermage because it helps release human growth hormone – a key ingredient for collagen production.
3. Bathing
Skip the hot showers and baths, and go for lukewarm water instead.
4. Diet
Take 1000mg of Vitamin C (orally) daily for the duration of your treatments and for at least 3 months after. Studies have shown that new collagen is produced by the body in the presence of Vitamin C.
