Thermage Genuine Tip Verification

Thermage genuine tip

How do I know a Thermage tip is genuine?

The short answer

Use the checks the manufacturer's Korean office publishes. Solta Medical Korea describes a silver hologram sticker on the outside of each Thermage FLX tip box. The sticker carries a QR code and a 12-digit authentication number: scanning the code with a phone camera, or entering the number in the authentication section of the official Thermage FLX website in Korea, confirms whether the tip is a genuine product. The same office restricts each tip to a single patient.

Sources: Solta Medical Korea's announcement of its renewed authentication system (June 2024) and Rewind's device documentation, which lists Thermage FLX among the seven lifting devices at the clinic. The page explains a manufacturer's checks for one device and says nothing about any provider.

The tip is the part patients ask about because it is the part that gets used up. It clips onto the handpiece, touches the skin directly and is coded for a fixed number of pulses. A genuine, unused tip is what a Thermage quote pays for.

This page stays with one task: what you can check for yourself, what each check confirms, and what to ask when one of them is missing. How the device works is explained on the Thermage FLX overview.

Running the check

How to verify a Thermage tip with the QR code or the 12-digit number

The verification itself takes a minute. What matters is running it with the sticker from your own tip.

01QR code

Scan with a phone camera

Point the camera at the QR code on the hologram sticker. Solta Medical Korea describes the scan opening a genuine-product check on the phone itself.

02Number

Or type the 12 digits

On a computer, open the authentication category of the official Thermage FLX website in Korea and enter the 12-digit number from the sticker. The site is written in Korean, so a browser translation feature helps.

03Who

Who can run it

The office says any patient who has received a Thermage FLX treatment can run the check. Ask for the sticker, or a photograph of it, at the end of the session so the number is to hand.

04Scope

What the check confirms

A successful check confirms that the number belongs to a genuine Thermage product. It says nothing about how the energy was set or where it was placed, which are clinical questions for the doctor.

Pricing

What a genuine Thermage FLX tip costs at Rewind

Rewind prices each plan by the count of the tip opened for you. The figure and the check therefore point at the same object: the count you pay for is printed on the box you can inspect.

Value-added tax is added to each figure at payment, while any anaesthetic fee is already counted in. The list carries no separate tip charge. The 900-shot plan inside the elasticity package is quoted at consultation.

Recovery

After a Thermage session with a verified tip

Verifying the tip changes nothing about recovery. Rewind's written instructions after Thermage are the same four points for every patient.

An authentic tip does not remove the known hazards of monopolar radiofrequency, among them surface burns, blistering, long-lasting redness, numb or tingling patches and, occasionally, thinning of the fat layer. Settings, placement and whether the face suits the device still decide most of the outcome.
