Overview of Thermage FLX at UNI Plastic Surgery

Thermage FLX by Solta Medical is a non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency (RF) system used at UNI Plastic Surgery for skin tightening and facial lifting. By delivering controlled thermal energy into the dermal collagen layer while cooling the epidermis, Thermage FLX supports skin firmness and surface elasticity without surgical incisions. Every treatment plan is designed through a direct 1:1 consultation with Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee.
