Thermage FLX Sydney
Skin tightening and contouring with the new Thermage FLX.
No surgery. No needles. No downtime.
Thermage FLX, the new generation. Thermage is, and always has been, the gold standard in non-surgical rejuvenation and it just gets better and better!
I believe the best measure of Thermage FLX, and indeed all Thermage, is the loyalty of our clients. We have clients returning every year or two for their Thermage treatments because they are happy with their outcomes. When existing patients heard about the development of Thermage FLX they were eager for the new technology as there was an inherent trust in the brand Thermage. With the shorter treatment times and improved immediately visible results, these returning patients are thrilled with the new FLX, as are we.

Discover the key benefits of Thermage FLX
Whether you’re looking to refresh your appearance or target specific bodily areas that are prone to sagging, our Thermage FLX skin tightening treatment in Balmain offers a range of benefits:
- Non-invasive and quick — Thermage FLX is faster and more comfortable, with instantly visible results to make you look fresher with a more youthful appearance. The ideal non-surgical, no downtime option for skin tightening.
- Versatile treatment areas — It is a non-invasive treatment that smooths, tightens and contours the skin in a single treatment. This skin tightening treatment in Balmain offers a versatile solution for multiple areas of concern. Thermage FLX can be performed all over the body, including the face and neck, eye area, tummy, arms, knees and buttocks.
- Long-lasting results — The tightening effects of Thermage FLX are present immediately and continue to develop over time as collagen and elastin production naturally increase. Most patients can see the benefits of their treatment for up to a few years, depending on their skin condition. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain these results, making Thermage FLX a suitable option for ongoing skin rejuvenation, lifting and tightening.
Suitable candidates for Thermage FLX in Balmain
Thermage FLX in Balmain can be suitable for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who are interested in improving signs of ageing. For those in their early 30s, Thermage FLX can act as a preventative treatment. For clients in their 40s and beyond, Thermage FLX provides a powerful solution for addressing and combatting fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Renu offers personalised consultations to ensure the Thermage FLX treatment is the best choice for your skin concerns. Our team of cosmetic doctors and nurses will assess your skin and discuss your desired outcomes before recommending the best course of treatment.
What to expect during and after your Thermage FLX treatment
Depending on the target area, the treatment typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, making it a manageable option for even the busiest schedules. To ensure the best results, we recommend coming well-hydrated on the day of your treatment, as the radiofrequency energy used in our skin tightening treatment in Balmain works more effectively on hydrated skin.
During a Thermage FLX session, you may experience a warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy penetrates the skin, which indicates that collagen is being targeted effectively.
The advanced cooling system keeps the skin surface comfortable, meaning most clients find the treatment highly tolerable and pain-free. Results are noticeable instantly, with continued improvement over the next three to six months as new collagen and elastin form.
Following your treatment, you can resume your daily activities immediately, with no downtime or recovery needed. Any redness or mild swelling typically subsides within 48 hours, making it a convenient choice for those seeking a non-invasive skin tightening treatment in Balmain.
The safety and efficacy of Thermage FLX
Our clinic offers Thermage FLX as a powerful, non-invasive skin-tightening treatment in Balmain. It does not disrupt the outer layers of the skin and any post-treatment redness or swelling is typically mild and short-lived.
While results are visible and long-lasting, it’s important to maintain realistic expectations — Thermage FLX provides natural enhancements rather than dramatic changes, focusing on gradual improvements over time.
No guarantees can be made, as individual results may vary, but our extensive experience and commitment to excellence provide a strong foundation for achieving your skincare goals.

What is Thermage FLX?
Skin Renu opened its doors over ten years ago with Thermage as our premier treatment. Over the years we have been proud of quickly adopting the Thermage updates and improvements on offer. We are now one of the first clinics to introduce the new Thermage FLX.
With a larger treatment tip, offering biofeedback at every pulse, AccuREP™, treatments are quicker, more comfortable and most importantly tailored to deliver exact energy deep where it is needed with every pulse. The multidirectional vibration hand piece and the improved cryogen cooling system both ensuring even greater comfort.
How does Thermage FLX work?
It works by tightening your existing collagen and stimulating the production of new collagen. By delivering energy to the layer of skin where collagen is formed (the dermis), the Thermage FLX harnesses the body’s own renewal processes to build new collagen while tightening existing collagen. To ensure patient comfort while energy is delivered to the dermis, cooling cryogen is simultaneously delivered to cool the uppermost layer of the skin while the handpiece vibrates multidirectionally.
What does a Thermage FLX treatment feel like?
When the pulse is activated, you feel the energy applied as a deep, but brief, warming sensation, an indication that collagen is reaching an effective temperature for tightening and remodelling. The improved cooling system ensures that the surface of the skin remains cool as it is activated before and during each application of energy. During the treatment your feedback is used to ensure your comfort.
What results can I expect?
With the AccuREP™ technology you will see an immediate visual improvement as the existing collagen is tightened. New collagen, however, does take time to grow. Continuing improvements are visible from around three months and continue to improve for up to six months. Your skin will appear smoother and fresher as the new collagen grows. Fine lines will appear softer.
What age is best suited for a Thermage FLX treatment?
We recommend Thermage FLX from mid to late 30’s as a prevention treatment and from 45 onwards for those serious about preserving and building on their skin’s appearance. Thermage has always been the Gold Standard for those seeking to improve their skin’s laxity. It contours and tightens by harnessing your body’s own responses to stimulate the formation of collagen, the skin’s support structure.
How many treatments will I need and what is the downtime?
Only one treatment is needed with Thermage and there is no downtime. Many clients enjoy the benefits of Thermage yearly or bi-annually to maintain their skin health. We recommend regular yearly Thermage FLX treatments.
What should I do to ensure the best possible outcome? Do I need special products before or after?
Thermage FLX is non-invasive and there is very little to do to prepare for a treatment. The best preparation is to come well hydrated on the day of your treatment. RF, the energy modality of Thermage FLX, works better on well hydrated patients. Ensure you have had your minimum eight glass of water for a couple of days prior at least. Also come with realistic expectations. Thermage FLX is a treatment to tighten your existing collagen and to stimulate new collagen. The results are subtle, Thermage FLX is not a facelift.
After treatment you can return to your usual activities, apply makeup. We always recommend the use of a sunscreen post treatment and one will be applied for you.
Are there any risks with Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is non-invasive and does not act on the outer layers of the skin. At the end of the treatment your face may appear flushed but this will settle within hours. A mild swelling can be detected but this resolves within 48 hours.
While adverse reactions are rare, listening to your body is important. If you experience any unusual or prolonged symptoms following your treatment, please contact our clinic immediately. Our team at Skin Renu is here to provide support and guidance to ensure your comfort and safety throughout your Thermage FLX journey.
How long does a Thermage FLX treatment take?
Each session of Thermage FLX in Balmain takes approximately 90 minutes.
Do I need a consultation prior to booking my Thermage FLX?
We always recommend a consultation to see if a Thermage FLX is a suitable treatment for you. The process is explained in detail and your expectations are gauged.
While Thermage FLX and past Thermages have demonstrated their ability to give excellent results over the years, no guarantees are made nor implied.

How does Thermage FLX compare to other skin-tightening treatments?
Unlike laser treatments or surgical procedures — which often require extensive recovery — Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production without affecting the outer surface or surrounding areas. This results in minimal downtime and a more comfortable treatment experience. Some patients may only need one Thermage FLX session to achieve noticeable results, whereas others might need multiple sessions depending on the severity of their skin concerns.
Can Thermage FLX be combined with other treatments in Balmain?
Yes, Thermage FLX can often be combined with other non-invasive treatments to enhance the overall results. Combining treatments can address multiple skin concerns, such as fine lines, volume loss and skin texture, providing a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. However, it’s essential to consult with our team to determine the best combination of treatments based on your skin type, goals and medical history.
