How the treatment works
- 1.
The tip is placed on the skin
The treatment tip is seated against the skin.
- 2.
Vibration and cooling begin
As treatment starts, vibration and cooling protect the skin.
- 3.
RF energy penetrates
Radiofrequency thermal energy penetrates deeply and, with vibration, regenerates collagen.
- 4.
Cooling is maintained
The cooling system runs throughout while the RF energy penetrates.
- 5.
Final cooling
Cooling runs once more at the end to protect the skin.
What happens in the skin
Immediately after treatment — collagen fibres within the skin are altered and contract, and the contour of the skin is refined.
From around two months — collagen is produced gradually and wrinkles soften.
Through four to six months — collagen production continues.
The surface of the skin is protected throughout by the epidermal cooling function.
Tips
| Which tip for which area | |
|---|---|
| Total tip (4.0cm²) | Full face — softening facial wrinkles, collagen regeneration |
| Eye tip (0.25cm²) | Around the eyes — softening lines around the eyes, collagen regeneration |
What FLX changed
Faster. Treatment is about 25% faster than the previous generation, with a larger tip covering a wider area.
More even. An algorithm delivers optimised energy, allowing precise treatment area by area.
More comfortable. A vibrating handpiece is fitted, so treatment is easier to sit through.
How your visit runs
- 1.
Skin assessment
Imaging analysis and a one-to-one consultation with the doctor.
- 2.
Cleansing
Carried out by a trained aesthetician.
- 3.
Comfort care
Anaesthetic cream and analgesia, managed individually.
- 4.
Treatment
Carried out at the highest energy that does not damage the skin.
Aftercare
- 1.
Light makeup is possible on the day of treatment, but we recommend leaving it until the following day.
- 2.
Redness can occasionally appear after treatment; this settles within two to three hours.
- 3.
For about a week afterwards, it is better to avoid alcohol and smoking, and anything that raises the skin's temperature — vigorous exercise, saunas and steam rooms.
- 4.
Apply regenerative cream or moisturiser thoroughly so the skin does not become dry.
- 5.
Apply sunscreen carefully whenever you go out, to protect the skin.
