Thermage FLX at Matignon: a radiofrequency facelift—no surgery required

What is Thermage FLX?

Thermage FLX is a monopolar radiofrequency device. It works by delivering controlled heat to the deep layers of the skin—which are rich in collagen—without any skin penetration.

By heating the dermis while protecting the epidermis with a cooling system, Thermage FLX produces two complementary effects: immediate contraction of existing collagen fibers, followed by stimulation of new collagen production (neocollagenesis) over several months. The skin tightens from the inside, gradually and permanently.

Thermage FLX adjusts the energy of each pulse in real time based on tissue impedance. The result is a constant, safe energy delivery suitable for all skin types, including tanned skin, making it a treatment that can be performed during the summer months.

Who is Thermage FLX intended for?

Thermage FLX is intended for women and men who notice mild to moderate skin laxity and wish to tighten their skin without resorting to surgery.

Main contraindications:

• Having a pacemaker or an active electronic implant.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Active skin lesions in the area to be treated.

How does a session at Matignon work?

At Matignon, every Thermage FLX treatment follows a structured protocol:

1. Prior medical consultation.

Our doctors evaluate your skin and your goals and rule out any potential contraindications before developing a personalized treatment plan.

2. Treatment.

After cleansing the skin and applying a grid of markings, the applicator delivers radiofrequency energy in successive passes. With each pulse, vibrations and cryogenic cooling ensure comfort and protect the epidermis. The session lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

3. Immediate return to daily life.

No downtime. Mild redness or temporary swelling may occur, but these symptoms disappear quickly. A single session is usually sufficient.

Which areas can be treated?

Thermage FLX at Matignon targets sagging skin on:

• The facial oval and the jawline
• The neck
• The Eyelids and the Eye Area
• The stomach, arms, thighs, and knees

Specific attachments (for the face, eyes, and body) are designed for each area and body type.

What results can we expect?

The lifting effect develops gradually. Skin firming is often noticeable within the first few weeks, with optimal results appearing between 2 and 6 months—the time it takes for new collagen to form.

The benefits then last for 1 to 2 years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle.

✓ Redesigned facial contours.

✓ A more youthful appearance, smoother eyelids.

✓ Firmer, more radiant skin.

✓ Natural lifting effect, without making facial features look stiff.
