TIGHTENING
Focused ultrasound energy is delivered past the surface to precise depths, including the same fibrous layer that is tightened during a facelift.
One treatment, and then several months of waiting while the collagen builds.
Forty-five minutes to two hours depending on the area, with no downtime. Tightening shows from eight weeks, peaks at six months, and lasts twelve to eighteen months.
Ultrasound is focused at a set depth so the energy passes harmlessly through the surface and deposits heat below it. Those points of coagulation contract immediately and then trigger months of collagen production as they heal.
Because the energy bypasses the epidermis entirely, there is no wound to recover from and no restriction on daylight afterwards.
Jawline and lower face laxity, brow position, the neck, and looser skin on the abdomen and above the knee.
It suits mild to moderate laxity. Significant sagging needs surgery, and we will point you towards a surgeon rather than sell you a course.
We map the area in lines, then deliver the energy shot by shot. You feel heat and short, deep prickles, strongest along the jaw and over bone. Paracetamol beforehand helps.
A full face and neck takes about two hours. You can go straight back to work.
None required. Some tenderness to touch for a few days and, occasionally, mild swelling. Sunscreen as always.
Nothing much happens for the first two months. The result arrives between month three and month six, which is why we photograph carefully and review at twelve weeks.
Most people repeat once every twelve to eighteen months.
