What Does Thermage FLX Feel Like During the Treatment?
During a Thermage FLX session, you may notice:
- A brief heating sensation when the radiofrequency energy targets the deeper layers of your skin.
- A cooling effect immediately after each pulse, which protects your skin’s surface and minimizes discomfort.
- Occasional tingling or mild stinging, depending on the targeted area and your individual sensitivity.
Most patients describe the feeling as warm and slightly prickly, but not unbearable. The device’s vibration feature also helps distract the nerves and reduce any potential discomfort.
How Will I Feel After My Thermage FLX Session?
After your appointment, it’s common to experience mild redness or swelling, which will fade within a few hours. Slight tenderness or a sunburn-like sensation might linger for a day or two as well.
Most people return to their normal activities immediately. Any post-session sensitivity is generally mild and temporary.
Bonus Tips for Extra Comfort
To feel more at ease during and after Thermage FLX, stay well-hydrated and communicate openly with your provider about sensitivity levels.
After treatment, use gentle skincare products, avoid excessive sun exposure, and apply cool compresses if needed. Resting and keeping the skin moisturized can also help.
