Quick answer · What is Body Thermage?
Body Thermage uses the Thermage FLX system, an FDA-cleared monopolar radiofrequency device, with a large body tip to heat the deep dermis on the body. The heat contracts existing collagen and stimulates new collagen over two to six months, firming loose or crepey skin. A session typically takes 60–90 minutes with no downtime, and most patients need a single session, repeated every 12–18 months.

How it works
Radiofrequency heat across a large area, in a single visit
Thermage FLX spreads radiofrequency energy evenly through a broad volume of skin. Its AccuREP technology reads the tissue before each pulse and adjusts the energy, while built-in cooling protects the surface. The large body tip covers wide areas such as the abdomen and thighs efficiently in one session.
-
Mapping
Your doctor marks a treatment grid on the cleansed area and plans the number of shots for each zone.
-
Radiofrequency pulses
The cooled tip delivers short pulses of deep warmth, square by square, with energy adjusted to your comfort.
-
Collagen remodelling
Skin may feel firmer the same day. Tightening continues as new collagen forms, peaking around three to six months.
Before & after
Firmer, smoother skin on the body
