Thermage FLX Blue Tip: What Is the 3.0 cm² Total Tip?
The Thermage® FLX Blue Tip is a genuine, single-patient Total Tip with a 3.0 cm² treatment surface. It uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat targeted tissue and support gradual collagen remodeling. It is a treatment tip for the Thermage FLX system—not a separate machine.
Compared with the larger Purple Tip, the Blue Tip gives the physician more control when treating smaller or more contoured facial areas. The appropriate tip, energy settings, and number of pulses should be selected after a dermatologist evaluates your facial anatomy, skin laxity, and treatment goals.
At ProDerma Clinic Bangkok, Thermage FLX treatment is planned and performed by board-certified dermatologists using genuine Thermage FLX technology. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or altered sensation may occur. Results develop gradually and vary between individuals.
📌 Key Highlights
- Thermage® FLX Blue Tip features a 3.0 cm² treatment tip that allows greater precision when treating smaller or more contoured facial areas.
- The treatment uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate the body’s natural collagen remodeling process while keeping the skin surface intact.
- The Blue Tip is not intended to replace other Thermage® FLX tips. The most appropriate tip is selected by the physician according to the treatment area, facial anatomy, and clinical goals.
- Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness may occur but usually resolves within a short period.
- Skin tightening and collagen remodeling develop gradually over the following months, with results varying according to each individual’s natural collagen response.
- At ProDerma Clinic Bangkok, all Thermage® FLX procedures are performed using genuine Thermage® FLX technology by board-certified dermatologists. Every treatment plan is customized to achieve natural-looking results. Individual results may vary.
