The covid epidemic changed the way we work for many people. Working from home is now a lot more common and acceptable and with it the online calls have become part of our regular routine.
One of the worst things about video conferencing is the way you can see your own face and this really came as a shock for many the first few times.
The ‘zoom face’ phenomenon has not gone away – in fact, it seems to have started a wave of self-consciousness. We all want to look healthy, vibrant, glowing and youthful whether we’re seen in person or on a screen!
Skin laxity – loose skin
One of the more noticeable features on a call is that of loose skin, also referred to as ‘skin laxity’.
Non-surgical skin tightening treatments can a lot to improve this issue and through cell regeneration, improve the appearance of the skin so that it looks smoother, fresher and younger too, with fewer visible lines and less general ‘sag’.
Non-surgical skin tightening devices rely on energy-based technology to firm the skin from within. The two main sources used are ultrasound and radio frequency. Both produce heat that can be delivered deeper into the skin than laser light, and they have none of the same skin tone restrictions. Both energy types don’t affect the epidermis, which means no downtime or sun sensitivity.
The ideal candidate for non-surgical skin tightening
The best candidates for any of these non-surgical skin tightening devices are those who have mild to moderate laxity. Generally speaking, if you are somewhere between your thirties and fifties, then this could be for you. It is time to give it a try and scale the preventative ladder, or stroll along the reduction and rejuvenation walkway. Whichever sounds good to you. Naturally, there are larger rejuvenation protocols that include laser, injectable and perhaps surgical interventions, but we are not focusing on those today.
The good news: there are plenty of options to choose from to get your skin toned and looking your best at our high tech skin treatments clinic in Redland, Bristol. A few options to consider are:.
- Sublime radiofrequency
This clever device works wonders to contour your jawline, lift and contour your cheekbones and smooth any fine lines. The treatment is gently directing heat deep into the tissue stimulating elastin and collagen production, leaving your face toned and tight after just one session. The treatment experience is pleasant, similar to a hot stone massage, with no “downtime”. It combines beautifully with HydraFacial as the aptly named “HydraTite”. - Laser genesis
The only laser treatment offering an array of instant results alongside reduced pore size, reduced redness, improvement in fine lines & wrinkles and reduction of light acne scarring. This laser is suitable for all ethnic groups and is entirely painless. What’s not to love?! For best results, genesis is a course of 3 to 6 treatments. You may also consider combining laser genesis with HydraFacial in a procedure we’ve developed “HydraGenesis“ - Ultherapy
Ultherapy employs advanced microfocused ultrasound imaging to deliver energy to specific layers of the face and neck. It uses ultrasound to visualise the patients’ unique anatomy and thus allows the treatment to be customised for each individual patient. Ultherapy is the only treatment that delivers energy precisely to the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), which is the layer you would lift if you were doing a facelift. It is a powerful device and treatment can be uncomfortable and may cause slight swelling and bruising as short term side effects. As a single treatment, there is more effective nonsurgical modality, in our opinion. Loved by celebrities, such as Tess Daly, this tends to be popular in ladies and men in their 40s and 50s - Morpheus8
A true blockbuster treatment, morpheus8 achieved huge publicity last year, when a famous tennis players mother shared her before and after results, which went viral in the UK. This is a highly effective treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency to introduce heat deep under the skin. Delivered as a course of 3 sessions, over at least as many months, as well as tightening, morpheus8 can also help to remodel fat under the chin, improve acne scarring and skin surface texture. This one hurts a bit and requires topical anaesthetic. It may also have some downtime.
For those with mild to moderate skin laxity who aren’t ready to go under the knife or for those who are looking to maintain skin firmness after surgery, non-surgical skin tightening is a safe and effective solution for most skin types. Depending on your skin condition and requirements, our trained clinicians can guide you to the most appropriate option for you. We are delighted to offer *the* most comprehensive range of treatments outside of London. We can’t wait to help you!
