SKIN
TIGHTENING /
LIFTING
• Non-surgical face lift effect
• Tightening lax skin
Energy-based treatments for facial lifting and
skin tightening are increasingly popular. These
devices commonly use a form of energy such
as radiofrequency or ultrasound waves – to
target deeper levels of the dermis and promote
the production of new collagen formation and
remodelling. This improves skin texture and reduces
sagging skin, as well as improving drooping eyes,
jaw line and neck, and softening wrinkles around the
mouth, eyes and forehead.
Non-surgical skin tightening treatments heat the
skin’s deep dermis and subdermal layers without
damaging the outer layers of the skin.
There may be some swelling and redness that
gradually subside over the next few days but
in general most patients experience little or no
downtime. Results are usually gradual, as the new
collagen forms over the next couple of months,
and are typically long lasting – up to two years in
many cases.
