Quick answer

Thermage is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment that heats deep skin layers to tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen, improving sagging jawline, early jowls, neck laxity and fine lines. A full-face session takes about 40–60 minutes with cooling for comfort, and most men return to daily activities immediately. Some tightening is visible right away, full improvement develops over 2–3 months, and results typically last 12–18 months.

What is Thermage?

Thermage (Thermage FLX) uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat the deeper dermis uniformly while the surface is protected by cooling. The heat causes immediate collagen contraction and triggers new collagen production over the following months, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.

Because male skin is typically thicker and denser, treatment parameters are adjusted accordingly.

Who is it for?

  • Sagging jawline and early jowls
  • Mild to moderate neck laxity
  • Lower-face heaviness and mid-face softening
  • Fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes
  • Loose or textured skin

It suits men from their 30s onwards with early to moderate laxity. Significant sagging may need combination treatment or a surgical opinion.
