Frequently Asked Questions in California
Do you offer Thermage treatments for skin tightening and can you tell me how it works?
Thermage is a popular treatment for skin tightening that uses radio frequency technology. It works by heating the deeper layers of your skin, which stimulates collagen production. This helps make skin look firmer and smoother over time. Most people notice gradual improvements, and there's little to no downtime after the procedure. It's commonly used on the face, neck, and other areas where you want tighter, younger-looking skin.
What is the difference between Thermage and Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is specially designed to reduce the discomforts associated with past iterations of Thermage technology. This advancement is achieved through improved energy and vibration distribution, along with a more effective cooling system. The updated Thermage FLX device allows registered nurses like Mimi Bao to deliver precise results with greater efficiency.
What body parts is Thermage FLX best suited for?
One of the many advantages of Thermage FLX technology is its versatility, as it can reliably firm and smooth areas beyond just the face. Common applications include the neck, arms, thighs, and buttocks, though it’s beneficial almost anywhere you want to address skin laxity.
How long do the results of Thermage FLX last?
The visual advantages of Thermage FLX treatments can extend as long as a year, but ultimately will diminish with time unless “maintained” with follow-up sessions in our Pasadena office.
Is Thermage FLX considered painful?
Most people would not describe Thermage FLX as painful, especially considering Thermage has consistently innovated new ways to improve the overall experience. While there will be moments of above-average warmth and vibrations, these are balanced with cooling sensations to ensure your comfort. Moreover, Mimi will be in constant communication with you throughout the entirety of your Thermage FLX treatments. If you ever need to take a break, she will be more than happy to accommodate your request.

"Their service is excellent. I experienced the best thermage eye and face treatment here. I feel my face got lift up a lot right after the treatment. I am their client for 2 years. Definitely love it and will keep continuing coming back. Highly recommended."

"I’ve been getting treatments done here since late 2024 at their West Covina branch and I kept coming back. Mimi did Ultherapy Prime/Morpheus 8/Xeomin for me in the past. And I had Thermage FLX with Kiki early July, great great results. Kiki has the latest Thermage technique that combines super pass and ventral pass, which gives my skin both tightening and lifting. Thank you Kiki, I highly recommend giving it a try. While I’m very happy with my results, their reputable/reliable practice is even more impressive. If you do a little research and shop around different MedSpas, you just can tell Starlit always purchases the best & latest device."

Each service has delivered consistently impressive, natural‑looking results, and the overall quality of care has exceeded my expectations. Sammi, my consultant, is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and supportive throughout every visit. Mimi, my RN, demonstrates excellent skill and refined aesthetic judgment, ensuring balanced and beautiful outcomes each time. The clinic environment is warm, comfortable, and welcoming, creating a truly stress‑free experience from start to finish.

"I recently had a Thermage treatment at Starlit Aesthetics with Kiki, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The staffs were incredibly professional and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The treatment itself was surprisingly comfortable—much more relaxing than I expected. They explained every step clearly and made sure I felt at ease throughout. I’m already seeing some early improvements in skin tightness, and I can’t wait to see the full results. Highly recommend this place for anyone considering non-invasive treatments and top-notch service!"

"I have been getting services from Mimi for years. She is not only honest, professional, friendly, but also she is highly skilled that all her customers see results! My yearly routine includes thermage, ultherapy, Botox, microneedling, laser, and skin boosters from her. I might try her filler some day!"
