Buttock facial
Similar to the standard facial, a buttock facial
cleanses and exfoliates the skin of the buttocks to
remove clogged pores, clear impurities and reduce
textural irregularities. This is usually followed by a
cream mask and massage to nourish, rejuvenate
and beautify the buttocks’ complexion. (And yes, this
treatment really exists.)
Neck lifting
Hot!
The saying “you can tell a woman’s real age by the
appearance of her neck” is no longer valid. A neck lift is
a surgical procedure designed to lift the sagging skin of
the neck and jowl area. This can reduce the appearance
of a “turkey neck” and, when combined with liposuction,
can create a thinner, more youthful-looking contour.
The procedure is often combined with a facelift for more
universal, anti-ageing results.
Surgery aside, skin tightening in the neck and jowl area
can also be achieved using less invasive methods such
as ultrasound and radio frequency technology. Laser and
light therapies are also commonly used to improve the
appearance of the skin on the neck and décolletage. This
can help remove sunspots and textural irregularities for a
smoother, more youthful-looking surface.
Cryolipolysis
Hot!
Freeze your fat off, literally! Cryolipolysis is a method of
killing fat cells through the skin, without surgery, by freezing
them. Devices such as CoolSculpting and CoolShape in
Australia deliver controlled cooling to localised areas of
stubborn fatty tissue – for example, the lower abdomen
or love handles. Importantly, the frosty temperatures
are only targeted to the fatty layer, so the skin’s surface
remains undamaged.
The treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen) at treatment,
and will die soon after. In the weeks following the procedure,
the dead fat cells are flushed from the site via the body’s
natural processes. Thankfully, the results are there to stay,
as, once treated, the fat is gone for good.
