Thermage FLX Skin Tightening in Myeongdong Seoul
The gold standard in non-surgical skin tightening. Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency to deliver volumetric heating deep into the dermis, triggering immediate collagen contraction and long-term neocollagenesis. Single session, lasting results at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
What Is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses patented monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat the deep dermis and subdermal tissue. The controlled volumetric heating causes immediate collagen fiber contraction and stimulates new collagen production (neocollagenesis) over 3-6 months. A single 600-shot session treats the full face with no downtime.
Developed by Solta Medical (now part of Bausch Health), Thermage has been the reference standard in non-surgical skin tightening since 2002. The latest FLX generation features AccuREP technology, which measures tissue impedance in real-time and automatically adjusts energy delivery to optimize heating while protecting the epidermis with integrated cooling. Unlike bipolar RF devices that heat superficially, Thermage’s monopolar configuration penetrates deeper into the reticular dermis and subcutaneous fat, producing volumetric tissue remodeling that translates to visible tightening, contouring, and texture improvement.

How Thermage FLX Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A structured four-step protocol for optimal skin tightening results.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Dr. Baek evaluates skin laxity, tissue quality, and treatment goals. Facial mapping determines optimal treatment zones and shot distribution across the face.
Grid Application & Preparation
A temporary treatment grid is applied to the face to guide precise RF energy delivery. Coupling fluid is applied to ensure uniform contact between the handpiece and skin.
RF Energy Delivery
600 pulses of monopolar RF energy are delivered through the Total Tip 4.0 handpiece. AccuREP technology optimizes each pulse in real-time. Treatment takes 45-60 minutes.
Post-Treatment & Recovery
Cooling serum applied. No downtime — mild redness may last a few hours. Collagen remodeling continues for 3-6 months after treatment.

The Science Behind Thermage FLX
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting monopolar radiofrequency for skin tightening and collagen remodeling.
Monopolar RF and Volumetric Heating
Thermage FLX utilizes monopolar radiofrequency at 6.78 MHz to generate controlled volumetric heating in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Unlike bipolar RF systems where current flows between two electrodes on the skin surface (limiting penetration to 1-2mm), monopolar RF drives current from the treatment tip through the tissue to a large grounding pad, enabling deep uniform heating to depths of 4-5mm. This volumetric approach heats the entire dermal matrix, causing immediate collagen triple-helix contraction and initiating a wound-healing cascade that produces new type I and III collagen.
AccuREP Technology
The FLX generation features AccuREP (Accurate REPeat) technology, which measures tissue impedance at the beginning of each RF pulse and adjusts energy delivery parameters in real-time. This ensures consistent, optimized heating regardless of tissue density variations across different facial zones. The system also incorporates vibration-based comfort enhancement (similar to gate control theory of pain) and an advanced cryogen cooling spray to protect the epidermis during deep tissue heating.
Clinical Evidence for Skin Tightening
Fitzpatrick et al. (2003) demonstrated significant tissue tightening in 87% of patients at 6 months post-treatment. Dover et al. (2007) reported 92% patient satisfaction and measurable dermal thickening on ultrasound. Histological studies by Zelickson et al. (2004) confirmed new collagen deposition at 3 months persisting to 6 months, with organized collagen fiber bundles replacing the damaged dermal matrix.
