What
is a non-surgical facelift?
It
is a non-intrusive electrical faradic current treatment that is applied
to the muscles to tone and lift them. The facial skin is different from
everywhere else on the body because it is attached to the muscles. When
people get jowls or sagging of the facial skin, it is because the muscles
have become lazy and tired.
How
does it work?
During
the non-surgical facelift procedure the clinician, who is highly trained
in the knowledge of facial muscles, uses the stimulating treatment to
shorten elongated muscles, lengthen atrophied muscles and to tone all
the muscles of the face. This lifts the skin back to a more youthful appearance.
How
soon am I likely to see a result?
You
can look younger and healthier immediately after the first treatment.
Is
it safe?
The
non-surgical facelift has been around since the mid 1980s in Europe and
the most important factor in a clinician using this process is for them
to have intimate knowledge of the muscles of the face, so all our clinicians
have a biological background. The great thing is that the client doesn't
have to undergo dramatic surgery or anaesthesia which can sometimes be
not only dangerous but traumatic to the nervous system.
Our
philosophy is if you can do a job more naturally, efficiently and effectively,
then that's the first choice a client can be advised to take.
The
non-surgical facelift is also far more affordable than cosmetic surgery
and falls within the budget of the majority of people.
How
often should I have a treatment?
You
will be assessed during your free consultation and we normally recommend
an initial 10 to 12 weekly treatments to lift and tone the face, followed
by a monthly maintenance visit to keep the facial muscles and skin in
great youthful condition.
What
age do I need to be to have a non-surgical facelift?
A
lot of people can benefit from this procedure from their late 20s to those
in their 70s and 80s. For the younger client it is a matter of maintenance
and care to keep your face looking good as you age. For the older client
this can be a rescue procedure and progressively produces dramatic changes
in tired and sagging skin.
Can
I combine it with other treatments?
We
often recommend the use of non-surgical facelift alongside microdermabrasion
treatment that planes off external wrinkles and lines on the outside of
the skin, leaving the surface smoother and younger looking.
