Facial volume and fat loss
We check whether hollowing or reduced facial support is contributing to what you see. If volume loss is your main concern, tightening alone may give a limited or unbalanced result.

Thermage FLX for eyes, face, jawline and neck
At Medical Aesthetics 360, we start by understanding what you would like to improve. We assess your skin, facial volume and tissue position, talk through your comfort preferences and goals, and help you decide whether Thermage FLX is right for you.
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to support firmer, smoother-looking skin without surgery. We tailor your treatment to the area you would like to address, from the delicate skin around your eyes to your face, jawline and neck.

Doctor-led assessment
Hurstville and Chatswood clinics
Suitability first
We assess your skin, goals and medical history to understand whether Thermage FLX is suitable for you.
Volume matters
We check for facial volume and fat loss, as tightening alone may not address hollowing or reduced support.
Skin quality matters
We look at your skin texture, thickness and areas of laxity, then explain what treatment may realistically achieve.
Comfort is planned
We discuss your comfort preferences and use positioning, pacing, cooling and your feedback to guide treatment.
Our suitability assessment
Is Thermage FLX right for you?
We take time to understand the changes you have noticed in your skin and what you hope to achieve. We examine how your skin and underlying tissues sit and respond to gentle support, then discuss whether the likely benefits match your goals.
Loose skin, facial fat loss and changes in tissue position can look similar in the mirror. We help you understand what is contributing to your concern so we can recommend a suitable approach.
Laxity and tissue position
We examine where your skin and tissues have softened or moved downwards, how much they move and how the area looks with gentle support.
Crepiness and skin quality
We assess fine wrinkles, skin thickness, sun damage and skin quality to identify which areas may respond and explain the gradual changes you might see.
Your comfort level
We talk with you about heat sensitivity, any concerns and your previous treatment experiences. This helps us plan the pace, communication and comfort measures around you.
Your goals and expectations
Thermage is intended to provide gradual, non-surgical firming. We explain what it may achieve for you and whether that matches the degree of change you want.
Other suitable options
We discuss other options that may suit you, including ultrasound, other radiofrequency treatments, treatments for skin quality or facial support, and surgical referral where appropriate.
Doctor-led planning
Your treatment starts with your skin.
Your eye area needs a different approach from your face and neck. The skin around your eyelids is thin and delicate. For your lower face and neck, we also consider broader areas of loose skin, skin quality, facial support and any changes in volume.
At Medical Aesthetics 360, we consider your skin thickness, areas of laxity and crepiness, facial volume, tissue position, eye health and medical history. We also discuss your comfort preferences and how much recovery time fits your routine. We explain whether Thermage FLX may suit you, whether another option may help more, or whether a combination of treatments over time may be appropriate.
Your eye area
Thermage FLX for eyes
If you have noticed fine wrinkles, crepey skin or early laxity around your upper eyelids, lower eyelids or outer eye area, we can assess whether Thermage FLX may help. We use specialised Thermage eye tips designed for smaller, delicate areas around the eyes, with careful assessment before treatment.
If you would like to refresh your eye area without surgery, we will explain the changes you may realistically expect. Thermage does not replace eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and concerns such as hollowing or pigmentation may need a different approach.
What we assess around your eyes
- Crepey skin and fine wrinkles on your upper eyelids
- Fine lines or mild crepey texture on your lower eyelids
- Fine lines around the outer corners of your eyes
- Your brow position and whether it contributes to eyelid hooding
- Under-eye hollowing, pigmentation or fluid-related puffiness that may need a different treatment

Your face and neck
Thermage FLX for face, jawline and neck
If you have noticed mild to moderate loose skin, reduced firmness, early jawline softening or crepey skin on your neck, Thermage FLX may be an option. We can help you explore whether non-invasive tightening suits your skin and your preference for gradual change.
We will also explain when Thermage alone is unlikely to meet your goals. If you have more pronounced jowling, significant neck laxity, volume loss or downward movement of facial tissues, we may discuss a different approach or treatment in stages. Depending on your assessment, this may include other skin tightening options, cheek support, jawline definition or other doctor-led care.
Treatment areas
Which areas would you like to address?
We assess each area separately to understand where Thermage FLX may help with skin firmness and quality. If your main concern is significant volume loss or loose skin that needs surgical assessment, we will discuss those options with you.
Eyes and eyelids
We assess fine wrinkles, crepey skin and early laxity around your upper and lower eyelids.
Face and cheeks
We discuss whether Thermage may help you achieve firmer-looking facial skin through gradual collagen remodelling.
Jawline and lower face
If your jawline has started to soften, we assess whether tightening may help improve the appearance of lower-face definition.
Neck
We assess loose skin, crepey texture and reduced firmness on your neck to see whether radiofrequency treatment is suitable.
Body areas
If you are concerned about loose skin on your body, we can assess whether firmness or fat volume is the main issue.
Combining treatments
We may discuss combining treatments if your goals involve skin firmness, texture, resurfacing or facial support.
How it works
How Thermage FLX works beneath your skin
Thermage FLX delivers controlled radiofrequency energy into collagen-rich tissue beneath your skin, while cooling helps protect the surface. This heat is intended to encourage collagen contraction and gradual collagen remodelling. You may notice some early firmness, with further changes developing over time.
You can expect any visible changes to develop gradually, and the extent of improvement varies. A systematic review indexed on PubMed found that monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency devices can produce measurable improvements in facial and body skin laxity, while outcomes and treatment suitability still vary between patients. We discuss whether this approach can support your goal of firmer, smoother-looking skin.
Timeline
When do Thermage FLX results appear?
You may notice some early firmness, with visible improvement often developing over two to six months as collagen remodelling progresses. How long your results last depends on factors such as your age, starting skin laxity, skin quality, lifestyle and sun exposure. We will discuss maintenance with you during your consultation.
If you prefer gradual change, this timeline may suit you. We will help you understand what is realistic for your skin and goals.
Technique and comfort
How we plan your treatment and comfort
During your assessment, we look at how your skin and soft tissues sit, where they have become looser and how the area changes with gentle support. These findings help us plan the treatment direction and pattern around your anatomy.
Where appropriate, we gently support or reposition the treatment area to help maintain consistent contact. We also use careful pacing, cooling and your feedback to guide treatment. We tailor our approach to you, while recognising that comfort and results vary.
Compare options
Thermage FLX versus other tightening treatments
The right treatment for you depends on your anatomy, the area you want to address, your skin texture and how much recovery time fits your routine. We help you compare options and explain whether your main concern is loose skin, volume loss or skin quality.
| Treatment | May be considered for | Key difference |
|---|---|---|
| Thermage FLX | Mild to moderate laxity, skin firmness, collagen support and selected eye-area wrinkles. | Uses non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency, with specialised eye tips for suitable concerns around your upper and lower eyelids. |
| Ultherapy PRIME | Brow, lower-face, under-chin and neck support when ultrasound treatment suits your assessment. | Uses focused ultrasound rather than radiofrequency. Compare with Thermage vs Ultherapy PRIME. |
| Sofwave | Skin firmness, fine lines and mild to moderate laxity in suitable treatment areas. | Uses synchronous ultrasound technology. See Sofwave Sydney. |
| XERF | Skin firmness and lower-face support using radiofrequency treatment tailored to you. | Uses radiofrequency energy. Read our comparison of XERF vs Thermage. |
| Morpheus8 | Skin texture, acne scarring, pores and tightening when microneedling radiofrequency is suitable for you. | Uses microneedling radiofrequency, which treats the skin surface differently from non-invasive Thermage FLX. |

FAQ
Your Thermage FLX questions
These answers offer a starting point. During your consultation, we will discuss your suitability, treatment areas, risks, recovery and the results you may realistically expect.
What are Thermage eye tips?
Thermage eye tips are specialised treatment tips designed for the smaller, delicate areas around your eyes. We assess whether they are suitable for your upper or lower eyelid concerns before recommending treatment.
Can Thermage FLX treat upper eyelids?
It may be an option for wrinkles around your upper eyelids. We assess your eyelid anatomy, the degree of hooding, your eye health history and brow position to determine whether treatment is suitable for you.
Can Thermage FLX treat lower eyelids?
We may consider Thermage for fine wrinkles or crepey skin on your lower eyelids. If you are mainly concerned about hollowing, tear trough shadows or significant volume loss under your eyes, we will discuss whether another treatment may be more suitable.
Is Thermage good for crepey eye skin?
It may help with crepey skin around your eyes if radiofrequency treatment is appropriate for you. We will assess your skin and explain the likely limits. If you have significant excess skin, eyelid surgery may be a more suitable option to discuss.
Does Thermage FLX lift the brow?
You may notice a more supported appearance around your brow or upper eyelids. Thermage aims to improve skin firmness through collagen support; it does not provide the same result as a surgical brow lift.
How many Thermage FLX sessions will I need?
We commonly plan a single session for a selected treatment area. We will discuss your treatment and maintenance timing based on your skin quality, age, degree of laxity and goals.
How much does Thermage FLX cost at MA360?
Contact us for current Thermage FLX treatment pricing. We will explain your proposed cost and what it includes before you proceed.
When will I see Thermage results?
You may notice some early firmness, while visible improvement usually develops gradually over two to six months as collagen remodelling continues. Results vary from person to person.
Is there downtime after Thermage?
You may be able to return to your usual daily activities soon after treatment. Temporary redness, swelling or tenderness can occur. We will explain what to expect and discuss recovery with you before treatment.
Is Thermage painful?
You may feel cycles of heat, cooling and vibration. How this feels varies with the treatment area, settings and your sensitivity. We discuss your comfort preferences beforehand and use your feedback, pacing, cooling and appropriate tissue support or positioning to guide treatment.
How will you assess whether Thermage FLX is right for me?
We start with what you would like to improve, then assess your skin laxity, crepiness, facial volume and tissue position. We also discuss your medical history and comfort preferences before explaining whether Thermage FLX or another option may suit you better.
Why does tissue positioning matter during treatment planning?
How your skin and tissues sit and respond to gentle support helps us plan treatment direction and contact. Where appropriate, gentle positioning may support precision and comfort. If you have significant volume loss or laxity, we will explain whether you need a different treatment or surgical assessment.
Is Thermage better than Sofwave or Ultherapy PRIME?
The most suitable option depends on your anatomy and goals. These treatments use different forms of energy, and we will help you compare them. Thermage may be relevant if you are considering radiofrequency tightening or treatment around your eyes.
Is Thermage better than Morpheus8?
The right choice depends on what you would like to improve. Thermage FLX uses non-invasive radiofrequency. Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency through microneedles and may be more relevant if your concerns include texture, pores, acne scars and certain tightening goals. We can discuss which approach suits your skin.
