Delivering controlled heat to a targeted layer of tissue can prompt your body to produce more collagen exactly where you need it. Collagen is our own natural fountain of youth, but our bodies make less of it as we get older. Thermage FLX has the precision to treat even the most delicate areas (around the eyes), giving you the option of delaying surgical skin-tightening procedures for years, such as a facelift or an eyelid lift.
Since establishing RefinedMD in 2012, Dr. Swengel has earned a reputation throughout the South Bay as one of the area’s top cosmetic and medical dermatologists. He is sought out for his expertise as a Mohs micrographic surgeon and laser treatment specialist, as well as his warm, attentive style of patient care.

In just a single treatment, you can enjoy a reduction in skin laxity that lasts approximately one year. Annual Thermage FLX treatments can help you sustain results and fall in love with your skin all over again. This technology works by delivering bulk heat to the skin’s surface without visibly damaging the skin. There is minimal downtime or recovery period, though it is common for skin to look a bit pink and sun-kissed immediately after the treatment. You will start to notice results about one month after your Thermage FLX session and those results will continue to improve in the following weeks.
Collagen production is not automatic, whether produced naturally as a teen or through collagen induction treatments like Thermage FLX and Ultherapy. It takes time, which is why non-surgical skin tightening treatments require a little patience. However, you will start to see results a few weeks after the treatment as collagen production begins to surge. The latest Thermage FLX device also includes a vibrating, cooling tip on the applicator for enhanced comfort and results. You can sit back and enjoy this lunchtime procedure as the heat separates the water molecules from fibrous collagen, which does lead to immediate contraction—in other words, skin tightening. This means that you will leave your appointment with tauter skin, but rest assured that the real, full results are yet to come.
