Stamping delivers energy by placing the tip firmly on one point, reducing energy loss and allowing for stronger effects. Sliding delivers energy while moving the tip and is suitable for curved areas. The Other uses stamping as the primary method and applies minimal sliding only on sensitive areas.
Thermage FLX
Thermage FLX
Thermage FLX is an RF lifting treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the skin.
The Other Dermatology precisely delivers the full power of Thermage FLX through stamping-based treatment and AI shot analysis.
FEATURE
Thermage FLX, Why It Still Remains the Gold Standard
Thermage FLX delivers patented radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the skin, contracting existing collagen and stimulating new collagen regeneration. It is used to care for firmness, facial contour, and skin texture.
How does Thermage FLX work?
Thermage FLX is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment. Its energy is delivered deep into the skin, where it contracts existing collagen and stimulates new collagen to form. The manufacturer describes the technology as one that remodels collagen to help smooth and tighten the skin, and the effect develops gradually after treatment rather than all at once.
At The Other Dermatology in Seoul, the energy is delivered mainly by stamping, with the tip held firmly on each point, and an AI-designed shot map decides where it goes. Whether it suits you is decided at a consultation.
TREATMENT METHOD
The Other’s Stamping + Sliding Combined Treatment Method
The key to Thermage treatment lies in how energy is delivered.
For maximum results, The Other Dermatology uses stamping as the primary method and applies minimal sliding only on delicate areas, allowing the highest possible energy to be delivered into the skin.
Primary Method
Stamping
Stamping Method — Primary Treatment Technique
The tip is placed firmly against the skin, delivering energy point by point. Compared with sliding, this reduces energy loss and allows maximum output to reach deep into the skin. The Other Dermatology uses this as the primary method to maximize treatment efficiency.
Sliding
Sliding Method — Supportive Treatment Technique
This is used only on delicate curved areas such as around the eyes and mouth. The tip moves gently while delivering energy to reduce discomfort in sensitive areas, while still being set to deliver the highest possible energy.
AI-POWERED ANALYSIS
AI-Based Customized Shot Distribution Design
The same shot distribution is not applied to everyone. Through AI analysis, The Other Dermatology identifies the areas with the most advanced current aging and the areas expected to age in the future, then allocates shots intensively according to those findings.
Current Aging Analysis
AI scans the entire face to precisely identify the areas with the most significant current loss of elasticity and sagging.
Future Aging Prediction
By comprehensively analyzing bone structure, fat distribution, and skin type, AI predicts the areas where aging is likely to progress.
Optimal Shot Map Design
Based on the analysis, the optimal energy level and number of shots are assigned to each area to complete a personalized treatment map.
PAIN CONTROL SYSTEM
The Other’s Multi-Step Pain Control System
To deliver maximum energy during Thermage FLX treatment, patient comfort is essential. The Other Dermatology completes the treatment without compromising energy through step-by-step pain control.
STEP 01
Application of Numbing Cream
Before treatment, a high-concentration numbing cream is applied to reduce surface-level skin sensitivity.
STEP 02
Nerve Block Anesthesia
Precise anesthesia is administered to key nerve distribution areas.
STEP 03
Pain-Relief Injection
Area-specific pain-relief injections are used to minimize discomfort during treatment.
STEP 04
Sedation Anesthesia (If Needed)
Safe sedation anesthesia is available for patients who are especially sensitive to pain.
Is Thermage FLX painful?
Comfort during Thermage FLX differs from person to person, so pain control is planned before the treatment starts instead of being handled after discomfort begins. The device itself includes integrated cooling and vibration to help with comfort, according to the manufacturer.
At The Other Dermatology, pain control is added in steps. A high-concentration numbing cream is applied before treatment, nerve block anesthesia is given at key nerve areas, and area-specific pain-relief injections are used. Sedation anesthesia is also available for patients who are especially sensitive to pain.
Which steps are used is decided with the dermatologist at your consultation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the AI analysis performed?
Before treatment, AI scans the entire face to identify current aging areas and areas expected to age in the future. Based on this data, energy intensity and shot count are optimized by area to design a personalized treatment map.
How long do the effects of Thermage FLX last?
The timing of results and how long they last vary from person to person. The treatment plan is decided with the dermatologist during consultation.
Can Ultherapy and Thermage be performed together?
Yes. Ultherapy (ultrasound) and Thermage (RF) work through different mechanisms, so they can create a synergistic effect when combined. Ultherapy works on the SMAS layer, while Thermage works on the dermis. After consultation with a dermatologist, an optimal combination plan can be designed.
