I had a facelift 4 yrs ago. Now skin is flaccid. I’m considering Thermage FLX. Does it work after facelift?

Question

I was told that FR treatments are not really effective after having a deep tissue facelift. Is this true? If so, Thermage FLX is expensive if only good to help produce collagen. Is this right? Also, is Thermage FLX much more effective then Indiba?

Having a facelift two years ago does not necessarily mean an improvement in your skin quality. To enhance skin quality, collagen-stimulating treatments like Morfeus8, Ulthera, and Thermage FLX are recommended. Liquid facelift treatments such as Lanluma or Radiesse, which stimulate collagen, can also be preferred. These treatments can be combined for increased satisfaction and longer-lasting results post facelift surgery.
Indiba is a radiofrequency system primarily used by physiotherapists to alleviate pain after accidents, a practice also common among veterinarians. Its purpose is not facelift-related but rather to relax muscles, reduce contractions, and soothe tissues after accidents or injuries.
On the other hand, Thermage FLX is also a radiofrequency treatment, but it elevates the skin to 80°, affecting all layers, even reaching the bone. Its goal is facelift, and it's an advanced technology with FDA approval for jaw contouring. Being a monopolar radiofrequency system, it doesn't cause discomfort at the skin level (20°), doesn't disrupt daily life, provides an immediately noticeable facelift effect, progressively improves over six months, and lasts for many years.
