Thermage flx
What Is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is an FDA-approved, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and lift sagging skin.
It helps smooth wrinkles, define facial contours, and restore youthful firmness — all without surgery or downtime.
At R&J Medspa in Koreatown, Los Angeles, we offer the latest Thermage FLX technology to deliver safe, effective, and natural-looking lifting results.
How Thermage FLX Works
Thermage FLX delivers controlled radiofrequency heat deep into the dermal layer of your skin.
This heat energy tightens existing collagen fibers and triggers the regeneration of new collagen and elastin over time.
The latest AccuREP™ technology ensures each pulse delivers precise energy for maximum comfort and consistent results.
As collagen rebuilds naturally, your skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted.

oligio(k-thermage)
What is OLIGIO?
Oligo is a high-frequency lifting device that uses a frequency of 6.78 MHz. It is a skin tightening device that applies strong heat to the dermal layer of the skin to promote new collagen synthesis and increase skin elasticity.
Oligio lifting laser is a procedure that activates collagen in the dermal layer using Radiofrequency (RF) high frequency. By applying heat to the dermal collagen, it helps to contract collagen and stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen fibers. As a result, it has the effect of remodeling the dermis and regenerating collagen in the long term through a natural healing process.
OLIGIO Lifting Effect
Once the heat is transferred deep into the skin, immediately after the procedure patients will feel lifting and tightening effects, and collagen is gradually regenerated over two to three months to restore skin elasticity and improve fine wrinkles and skin texture. The skin elasticity and treatment effect are maintained within a period of about one year.
Oligio not only enhances the overall skin elasticity, but also if you have large pores or have a lot of fine lines, you can see your skin improvement through Oligio Lifting procedure. Although you can see the result with just a single treatment, it is often performed in combination with other treatments to solve other skin problems.
secret rf
_edited.png)
A new innovative, safe, and effective procedure has recently gained popularity in the local cosmetic and plastic surgery market here. Secret MFR provides women with painless, non-surgical facelifts.
“Secret MFR is a new generation of skin rejuvenation technology that utilizes Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency (MFR) rather than laser,” “Secret not only builds up collagen to tighten up the skin, but also improves dermal volume and elastin to improve skin elasticity, texture and turgor resulting in perceptible skin improvement.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using a small hand piece that contains 25 golden microneedles, the microneedles of Secret MFR penetrate under the skin to deliver Radiofrequency at the target location, without harming the outer skin surface. The depth of penetration, intensity, and speed of delivery of energy are controllable for best results.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SECRET MFR OVER LASERS?
Secret MFR delivers energy under the skin, exactly where you need it for rejuvenation and tightening without harming the skin surface (epidermis). Therefore, you expect minimal downtime of few hours compared to the downtime of few days with traditional lasers. In addition, Secret MFR is gentler on your skin (laser is more traumatic), so the possibility of scarring or burn is lesser. Secret MFR, unlike laser, does not interact with melanin, so it is relatively safe for all skin types with minimal side-effects of hyper or hypopigmentation.
WHAT MAKES SECRET MFR DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RADIOFREQUENCY MACHINES?
First, Secret MFR uses bipolar radiofrequency, which gives more focused energy than monopolar radiofrequency, so better results are delivered. Second, Secret MFR uses golden needles, which provide better distribution of energy, and therefore more rejuvenation than regular needles. In addition, Secret MFR uses 2 MHZ that penetrate better on wet and dry skin. In summary, best technical specifications have been provided in Secret MFR.
WHAT IS IT USEFUL FOR?
Secret MFR is most effective for skin rejuvenation, skin tightening and pore minimization. Therefore it improves wrinkles and texture elasticity. It is also effective for acne, acne scars, stretch marks and hyperhidrosis.
DO I NEED TO MAKE ANY PREPARATIONS BEFORE UNDERGOING THE PROCEDURE?
Unlike lasers, Secret MFR does not require any specific preparations. Simply we clean the skin before doing the session and apply a layer of anesthetic cream for 30 minutes.
It is very simple and safe. Usually, you should expect some redness of the skin for a few hours. Minimal swelling or dryness could occur.
.jpg)
WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
After the second session, you will see a general improvement in the quality of your skin. More glow, less wrinkles, minimization of pores, more tightness and elasticity are a few positive changes you will notice.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?
Usually for skin rejuvenation, you need to do one session per month, and a total of 3-5 sessions. After that, a maintenance program is recommended. For other conditions, please consult your doctor.
CAN I COMBINE SECRET RF WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Depending on your skin condition, Secret RF can be combined with Platelet rich Plasma PRP, stem cells or mesotherapy for better results. Many women call it the miracle facelift, which does not cause pain but has a lot of gain.

dark spot removal
LASER SPOT REMOVAL
Spots on the skin, including age spots, sunspots, freckles, and birthmarks, are a very common skin condition. Many people may wish to remove these spots to create a more even and pleasing skin tone. If you just have a small number of spots, it may be more efficient to just treat the spots instead of trying to treat an entire area. Spots can be removed anywhere on the body.
WHEN TO USE LASER SPOT REMOVAL
Lasers can be used to treat benign (harmless) pigmented lesions including freckles, sunspots, angiomas, seborrheic keratosis, pigmented nevi, and cafe-au-lait birthmarks. Lasers are not used to treat moles or malignant (cancerous or pre-cancerous) lesions. After treatment, the outline of a spot may still be visible, but the color will be lighter to blend in with the surrounding skin. We usually recommend two laser sessions, the first removes half or more of the pigment and the second removes the rest.
BENEFIT FROM SUCCESSFUL AGE SPOT REMOVAL AND MORE
Using laser spot removal treatments, you’ll be able to remove liver spots, sunspots, and more through a procedure that has provided many patients with the results they want. You don’t have to live with blemishes and other types of imperfections on the skin with this treatment.
The procedure is safe and unlikely to cause any side effects that you might otherwise experience with other inferior treatments. Your skin will look great while helping you avoid the need for repeat treatments over a long period of time. You’ll leave our offices looking and feeling your best with every treatment, whether you’re getting laser spot removal or another procedure that we offer.
