Thermage FLX Skin Tightening Treatment
Are you experiencing signs of ageing? Shiro Aesthetic Clinic can help to target fine lines and loose skin through our Thermage skin tightening treatment. This non-invasive skin treatment goes deep into the skin to penetrate collagen-rich layers, essential to the skin’s elasticity and hydration. With the Thermage FLX, problems with ageing skin can be addressed.
Your Skin is A Priority
Our skin is the largest organ in the human body. Approximately 2 millimetres thick, the skin covers the whole body and makes up about 16 percent of your overall body mass.
The function of your skin is to:
✔ Protect your body from environmental stressors like germs, pollution, radiation from the sun
✔ Regulate your body temperature
✔ Receive sensory information
✔ Store water, fat, and vitamin D
As we age, collagen in our skin breaks down, which leads to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging, and loosening increases. Taking good care of our skin ensures that our body’s first layer of protection is healthy and well-protected. Whether it’s for our overall well-being or for aesthetic purposes, treatments such as the Thermage FLX from Shiro Aesthetic Clinic can provide an effective solution for concerns about ageing skin and other skin-related issues.
What Is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is an effective skin tightening aesthetic treatment in Singapore that combats skin elasticity loss to efficiently treat wrinkles, lines, and loose or saggy skin around the eyes, face, neck, and body area. Developed from Thermage treatment, it is a non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) to induce skin tightness.
Thermage FLX Skin Tightening Procedures utilise the patented Mono-polar Capacitive Radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver heat safely and uniformly into the skin layers and renew the collagen, resulting in immediate skin tightening and a well-defined three-dimensional skin contour.
How Does Thermage FLX Work?
Thermage FLX features an optimised energy delivery algorithm, known as AccuREP™ technology, which automatically measures and precisely tunes the amount of radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered to the patient and treatment area. The precision of this iteration is better as compared to previous Thermage treatments as it goes deeper into the skin’s layers to promote new collagen growth.
The system also features a vibrating handpiece to help enhance patient comfort and a new, larger treatment tip that reduces treatment time by 25%. Since prolonged treatment is among the concerns typically raised from the previous versions, a larger treatment tip that produces more heat and energy is introduced, allowing for faster treatment and greater client comfort.

Address Ageing Concerns and Enhance your Face, Skin and Body
Ever since 2002, Thermage FLX treatment has been around to provide non-surgical skin tightening solutions. Through time, this procedure was able to enhance its technology to provide wider solutions for targeting the outer skin layers. Using a unique patented monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology with a 4.0 cm tip rather than the 3.0 cm tip of previous versions, it can cover more areas at once which makes the procedure shorter.
Thermage FLX stimulates collagen and uses deep RF radiofrequency to treat the skin from the outside into the inside. With just one session, results can be visible showing off a youthful appearance. Over the next six months after the treatment, the collagen will continue to rebuild and enhance the quality of the skin. After undergoing the Thermage skin tightening treatment, your skin may feel and look more youthful, healthy, and hydrated.

What can I expect during the Thermage FLX Procedure?
The duration of your Thermage FLX skin tightening treatment procedure will vary depending on how many target areas you want to tackle, and the size of these areas. The Thermage FLX machine comes with interchangeable tips to better suit different areas of your skin, and deliver more consistent and visible results.
When you first arrive for your procedure, you may be offered an optional numbing cream. There is no pain associated with the treatment; however if you are sensitive to hot or cold temperatures, you might feel comfortable having numbing cream applied. You will initially feel a cool sensation on your skin when the Thermage FLX tip first makes contact. This will then turn into a warm heat with some vibrations as the tip is moved across your skin. The overall feeling is warm but not extremely hot, and is comfortable for patients.
