How does ThermageX Skin Tightening work?
ThermageX Skin Tightening uses high-frequency RF energy of 6.78MHz to gently heat the skin 45-60℃. This allows immediate collagen contraction and stimulates new collagen production, addressing the collagen loss from the ageing process and improving the appearance of fine lines, dull skin, nasolabial folds, sagging skin, droopy eyelids, and eye bags. An intelligent cryogen cooling system with surface temperature monitoring maintains comfort and safety, allowing for a comfortable treatment process.
ThermageX Treatment Principles
Benefits of ThermageX Skin Tightening Treatment with Elite Spa
- Skin tightening and firming: ThermageX stimulates collagen production, reinforcing the skin’s structure and elasticity, leading to a firmer, lifted, and tightened appearance.
- Wrinkle reduction: ThermageX effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin tone and elasticity.
- Improved Skin Texture: ThermageX can help refine pores and enhance skin texture, resulting in a smoother complexion.
- Long-lasting and natural-looking results: many patients experience sustained skin tone and texture improvements for several months. Additionally, ThermageX stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, allowing for natural-looking, long-term skin rejuvenation.
- Non-invasive with minimal downtime: a less invasive option for skin rejuvenation than traditional surgical procedures. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment, with minimal discomfort or recovery time.
In this process, you won’t see any instant results. Our professionals would help you through the process and give you a roundabout of the procedure.
What conditions can ThermageX Skin Tightening treat?
ThermageX Skin Tightening is a versatile treatment addressing skin laxity, wrinkles, and fine lines. It improves skin texture, tone, and contour through collagen remodelling. ThermageX Skin Tightening can be used in the following areas:
- Face, such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline
- Neck
- Eye areas such as the upper and lower eyelid
What can I expect with ThermageX Skin Tightening treatment?
At Elite Spa, your comfort is our priority. Your face will be cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. This step ensures that the treatment is as effective as possible and that the RF energy can penetrate your skin evenly. Next, a numbing cream will be applied and left on for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This ensures that you experience no discomfort during the ThermageX treatment.
Depending on the targeted area, the ThermageX treatment lasts 30 to 45 minutes. A handheld device will be used to deliver controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of your skin. This energy stimulates collagen production and tightens existing collagen fibres, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Once your treatment is over, you can immediately return to your normal activities as there is no downtime with ThermageX treatment.
These recommendations ensure that the treatment is thorough and effective, targeting all the areas that can benefit from skin tightening and rejuvenation.

ThermageX and Ultherapy use different technologies to achieve the common goal of skin tightening and lifting. ThermageX employs monopolar RF, while Ultherapy utilises microfocused ultrasound waves. Monopolar RF generates bulk heating in the superficial skin layers at 1-2 mm depth, whereas focused ultrasound creates discrete thermal coagulation points at depths of 1.5 mm, 3 mm, and 4.5 mm.

Why ThermageX?
Radiofrequency Technology: This treatment uses RF energy to warm the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein essential for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity.
Heat Application: By focusing on the dermal layers, the heat helps tighten existing collagen fibers and stimulates the production of new collagen.
Treatment areas: Full face, Neck, Eyelids
