Applicator Matters: 3 Tips to Differentiate Between Real and Fake Thermage Applicators!

The best way to rejuvenate your loose skin and even out your fine lines is to undergo Thermage’s aesthetic medical treatment to build up collagen and re-firm your skin. But with so many beauty salons out there, how do you ensure that they use genuine machines for the treatment? Some salons charge very cheaply for Thermage treatments, and is it worth trying?


By and large, you get what you pay for. Many beauty shops out of nowhere claim to offer the latest generation of Thermage treatments and provide very attractive deals that can be as much as half the price of other market providers.


Although the price is low, the quality is not guaranteed. The device manufacturer introduced a single-use applicator, but unscrupulous merchants reuse the applicator or other alternatives to save cost. These “dubious devices” are prone to glitches such as breakage, poor contact and unstable energy output. If the beautician does not have enough training hours or professional training, he/she may not be able to fully grasp the control of the equipment and the adjustment of energy, which may cause burns to the consumer's skin and even leave permanent scars. Never cut any corners when it comes to your aesthetic medical care.


3 tips to identify Thermage’s real applicator

Although it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of an applicator from the naked eye, there are 3 ways to tell a Thermage’s real device from an unreliable one:

Upgraded system label

The original and genuine Thermage® FLX system has now been upgraded to version 1.0.5, providing multiple safeguards for treatment results and safety. A label with the name and a serial number of the approved treatment centre is attached to the front of the upgrade system for identification purposes. You can also scan the QR code on the upgraded system label to connect to the list of approved treatment centres to confirm that they use original and genuine equipment and applicators.


Security label

"Genuine (原廠正貨)" hologram sticker and "Solta Medical Hong Kong Exclusive (Solta Medical 香港專賣)" seal are implemented on Thermage®’s applicator packaging. QR code seal is applied on the bottom of the new packaging for customers to scan and verify the product’s authenticity on site;

Thermage®’s single-use applicator is ready to unpack on-site upon request to ensure it is new and intact.


Original certification

Solta Medical-accredited clinics or centres hold a Thermage® treatment centre certificate to ensure that the relevant instruments and probes are monitored by the original manufacturer and are safe and reliable.
