How long after Thermage FLX can I do Solwave? (Photo)

Question

My main concern is double chin and needing overall lifting. I noticed gravity going downward as I've turned 41. My double chin only appears when I talk or when I bend my head downward slightly. It wasn't there a few years ago and I haven't gained any significant weight. Which is the best course of action or can I do both procedures and how long in between procedures should I wait? I plan to get full face, eyes and neck for both.

Thank you for your question. While photos of your full face would be needed to make a more precise assessment, here are some solutions based on your description. 
There’s no need to pause your skincare routine after Thermage FLX&mdash;it’s a gentle treatment with no visible aftereffects. Tools like Solvave can be integrated shortly after without disrupting results.
While Thermage FLX is not an invasive procedure and may offer mild tightening, it often falls short of delivering satisfying results for double chin reduction on its own&mdash;especially when there is deeper fat tissue involved.
For a more sculpted neck and jawline, you might want to consider Vaser liposuction. It’s a targeted procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin efficiently, often with just one session needed for a noticeable improvement.
Face lift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery are procedures we commonly perform together. Combining them in a single session is often both safe and effective, assuming you’re in good health and working with a surgeon experienced in full facial rejuvenation.There are several benefits to a combined approach: • A single recovery period • More balanced and harmonious results • Shorter total downtime compared to staging procedures separatelySince you haven’t experienced significant weight change, the fullness under the chin may be due to age-related changes in skin elasticity and soft tissue descent, both of which can be addressed through this combination.A comprehensive consultation would help determine the best surgical plan tailored to your anatomy, expectations, and timeline.Warm regards,Op.

Hello; Solvave is a sort of home care device. Since Thermage FLX does not cause any peeling, bruising, edema or redness on your skin, you can apply it even the next day. There would be no problem. I recommend for Vaser liposuction; for your double chin. You can easily get rid of from your double chin in a single session; on average in half an hour, in a clinic platform; without any anesthesia, without pain or suffering. Vaser effect is permanent. Fat cells are permanently destroyed. Tightening and stretching affects appear on your skin, and thus, your chin contour becomes much clearer. Whether you gain or lose weight, you will never have a double chin again. Since you are 41 years old; I definitely give an advise about it; because collagen loss in women is very high at this age period and precautions need to be taken. Have a nice day.
