How the cost of Thermage FLX is built up
The cost of Thermage FLX is not a single fixed price. It varies with the number of shots, the treatment area, the type of tip and how the sessions are structured. An accurate quote is given at a consultation, after a skin diagnosis before treatment.
Four factors that set the cost — check them in order
-
STEP 1 — Choose the number of shots
Thermage FLX is generally offered in packages such as 600, 900 or 1,200 shots. The recommended number of shots depends on the degree of sagging and the treatment range, and the more shots, the higher the cost. Even with the same 600 shots, results can differ depending on which areas receive them and at what intensity.
-
STEP 2 — Check the type of tip
Thermage FLX uses different tips for different areas, such as a face tip and an eye (around the eyes) tip. To address fine lines around the eyes or sagging under the eyes at the same time, the eye tip is often added, and the cost structure changes with the combination of tips.
- STEP 3 — Decide the treatment area
The final cost depends on whether you treat only the face, include the neck, or add the eye area separately.
-
STEP 4 — Compare a single session with a package
A single session and a multi-session package may have different per-session prices. Thermage FLX results generally last 1 to 2 years, so sessions are often spaced apart rather than repeated every time. It is reasonable to first confirm your skin condition and care cycle at the consultation.
What is Design Thermage?
Repic Clinic in Gangnam runs a Design Thermage protocol that differs from standard Thermage. Before treatment, Meta View (skin surface analysis) and Mark-Vu (deep structure analysis) diagnostics measure areas with dense pores, areas with reduced elasticity and sensitive areas, and then intensity and shot numbers are designed differently for each area. Intensity is increased in areas with many pores and lowered in sensitive areas. Even with the same 600 shots, delivering them uniformly and distributing them based on a design are different treatment plans. The cost of Design Thermage depends on the diagnosis results, so a quote is given after a consultation.
Thermage FLX vs. Ulthera — comparing selection criteria
The two treatments work on different principles, so the choice depends on your goal.
| Item | Thermage FLX | Ulthera lifting |
|---|---|---|
| Energy type | Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) | Focused ultrasound (HIFU) |
| Main target layer | Dermis (collagen regeneration) | Fascia (SMAS) layer |
| Main effects | Firmness, fine lines, pore improvement | Improvement of sagging in the jawline, cheeks and cheekbones |
| Cost | Provided at consultation | Provided at consultation |
| Typical duration of effect | About 1 to 2 years | Varies with treatment range and the individual |
| Suited to | Overall loss of firmness, pores, fine lines | Contour sagging, cheeks, jawline |
Similar criteria apply when comparing Thermage FLX with InMode. Thermage FLX heats the full thickness of the skin evenly, so a single session covers a wide area and lasts longer, while InMode specializes in tightening specific areas (jawline, cheeks) and may suit regular maintenance better in some cases.
Sorting this out first can shorten your consultation
If you organize your priorities in advance in this order — number of shots, type of tip, treatment area, single session or package — the quote and treatment plan you receive can be more specific.
