The Non-Surgical Route
How it works
Ultrasound is focused to a point below the surface, where it produces controlled warming in the deeper tissue. That response is studied for its effect on collagen, which is why focused ultrasound is used within skin-tightening programmes here. It is not a substitute for surgery and is not offered as one.
Who it's for
- Noticing laxity along the jaw, cheeks or neck and wanting it assessed
- Comfortable with a gradual approach rather than an immediate change
- Prepared to be told honestly if surgery, or nothing at all, would suit you better
What to expect
Brief prickling or deep heat as each line of energy is delivered — sensation varies a good deal between people and areas. Any change from this kind of treatment is gradual rather than immediate, and review is built into the plan.
Not suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, over active infection, open wounds or inflamed skin in the treatment area, or over metal implants and dermal filler in the same area.
Suitability is decided at consultation after assessment of your skin and medical history, and we will tell you if it is not right for you.
