Forehead Lift

Forehead lines & wrinkles and Frown lines & wrinkles, including Frown lines between the eyes

Forehead lines, also referred to as worry lines are the horizontal wrinkles that span your forehead above the eyebrows,
Forehead wrinkles are typically considered to be dynamic as they result from repeated facial expressions, such as frowns, over the course of a lifetime. Other contributory causes are exposure to the sun, smoking and sleeping with your face pressed into the pillow. Over time, forehead wrinkles can become static and appear without any such facial movement.
Frown lines, also referred to as glabellar lines.or worry lines, are vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows. They are the result of your forehead muscles squeezing inward as you furrow your brows. Frown lines usually occur due to thinning skin, sun damage, and repeated movements of the muscles on your face. They are essentially forehead wrinkles.

Eye Lift

Brow lift, eye lid lift, Crow’s feet & wrinkles, Under eye lines & wrinkles, Under eye bags & Under eye dark circles.

Crow's feet are fine lines and wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes, primarily caused by facial movements such as smiling, squinting & laughing and environmental factors such as long-term exposure to the sun, smoking and ageing. Crow’s Feet result from loss of skin elasticity, collagen and hormonal change. These lines are also referred to as dynamic facial lines because they become more pronounced with repeated facial expressions.
Under eye lines & wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. The skin in the area under the eyes is particularly susceptible to the aging process because it is thin. External factors such as sun damage or smoking can accelerate their formation.
Under eye bags & dark circles are really common and significantly age the face. Sleep deprivation or even oversleeping can enhance the darkness under the eyes.

Cheek & Nose Lift

Smoothes fine line & wrinkles, firms cheeks, Cheek shaping to the mouth & reduces Nasolabial folds

Before a cheek lift, the mid-face area may show signs of sagging skin, deep lines, and a loss of youthful volume. The cheek lift will appear to elevate the cheeks and the face appears more defined and sculpted, with a better overall facial balance. Together with reducing and smoothing Nasolabial folds, the overall facial rejuvenation leads to a more youthful and vibrant look.
Nasolabial folds named from the Latin words nasus for “nose” and labium for “lip.” Their more common name is Laugh Lines. The key word is “fold” because they are not wrinkles. A nasolabial fold is just that- the fold of skin between the nose and mouth that is underneath the cheek. They are perfectly normal and natural – and everyone has them. But can become deeper, longer and more pronounced as we get older. As we get older, we lose fat which can make the face look saggy. If our cheeks become flat and hollow, the lines beneath them will also look more pronounced.
Bunny lines are wrinkles and tiny creases on both sides of the nose, right below the bridge. They are Dynamic wrinkles and become more pronounced when you smile or laugh. As with other wrinkles, they will deepen over time and become static.

Mouth Lift

Upper and Lower Perioral lines & wrinkles and Marionette lines & wrinkles

Perioral lines, also known as vertical lip lines, lipstick lines, or smoker’s lines, are the fine lines that form on and around the mouth and lips beyond the vermillion border. These lines can be more prominent around the lips, on the upper lip, or down the lower jaw. They are created through the activity of the underlying orbicularis orris muscle and the natural process of aging with a loss of volume and elasticity in the skin around the mouth.
Marionette lines, also known as melomental folds, are vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin. They are often associated with aging and can make the face appear downturned or saggy. The formation of marionette lines is primarily due to intrinsic aging, influenced by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental damage.

Jawline & Chin Lift*

Jaw line definition & shaping & V face Shaping, Lifts and tightens sagging skin, reduces double chin*.

Double chin - Please note that this is a lifting & tightening procedure only. Depending upon the size of your double chin you may need a Body Sculpting treatment to achieve your desired result.
A V-shaped face is characterised by a slim and contoured jawline that narrows to a point, complemented by a subtly rounded chin. Volume loss in the cheeks and jowls creates skin sagging and a squaring of the jawline. In combination with a cheek lift (which reshapes and elevates the cheeks and removes sagging skin) a jawline lift can help deliver your perfect V shape.

Neck Lift

Lifts and tightens sagging skin, removing fine lines & wrinkles, and smoothing Turkey Neck

Neck Lines are lines or wrinkles that appear on your neck and can show up in two slightly different ways. There are horizontal lines, which look like lines or creases, also called necklace lines, and there are vertical lines; these look like vertical bands
Turkey neck refers to the saggy or wrinkled skin on the neck. It can also affect the jawline and include a loss of definition, a double chin and wrinkles across the décolletage. As well as sagging skin due to the loss of elasticity, there can also be a weakening of neck muscles including the platysma muscles which will detach and loosen with age resulting in vertical bands from the chin to collarbone.

Décolletage

Smoothes fine lines & wrinkles and reduces and tightens loose sagging skin between the neck and breast

Décolletage refers to the shoulders and chest of a woman's body shown by the low top edge of a dress. This is a critical cosmetic area that often gets overlooked. Like the face, this part of the body is prone to sun exposure and premature ageing.

Anti-wrinkle

Fine lines and wrinkles can appear anywhere on the face and body and are caused by decreased collagen and elastin, which can occur with age and UV exposure. Wrinkles are a by-product of the aging process. As people age, skin cells divide more slowly, and the middle layer of your skin — the dermis — begins to thin. The dermis has a network of elastin and collagen fibres, which offer support and elasticity. As this network loosens and unravels with time, depressions form on your skin’s surface. Aging skin is also less able to retain moisture, less efficient in secreting oil and slower to heal. All of these factors contribute to the development of wrinkles.

Sun damage & sun spots

In response to the Sun, skin produces melanin, a dark pigment. The tan affords protection. If the skin becomes “sun-damaged” the production of melanin becomes irregular. Instead of an even tan which declines over time, irregular localised dark pigmentation occurs

Pitted skin & acne scarring

Acne scars, not to be confused with the dark marks left behind after an acne inflammation, are textural irregularities that form when the skin does not heal. They manifest as enduring depressions on the skin because acne inflammation has damaged the surrounding skin and tissue. There are different types of acne scars, from rolling scars to ice pick and boxcar scars. Whilst these are mainly superficial, larger scars can go into the mid and even lower layers of the skin. Depending upon the severity, the acne scarring can be removed, or significantly reduced

Dull skin tone

Dullness is a common skin concern leading to an overall lacklustre complexion that makes you look tired and older. There are several factors that contribute to dull skin, such as dead skin cell buildup, dehydration, and environmental damage and they all result in a lack of radiance due to poor light reflection. Once you identify why the skin looks dull, it’s often quite easy to restore its glow.

Pigmentation & melasma

Melasma is a skin pigmentation disorder characterised by dark spots and patches on skin often exposed to the sun. Specifically, it is a disorder of skin cells called melanocytes, which affect pigmentation. Melanocytes produce and store melanin, a brown pigment that gives skin its pigmentation. When these cells are hyperactive, they cause spotting & discoloration and melasma

Dry / sensitive skin

Dry, sensitive skin on the face can be caused by a combination of factors, including;

Lipid Deficit: Dry skin is often linked to a lack of lipids, which are essential for maintaining the skin's moisture barrier.
Weakened Skin Barrier: The skin's protective barrier can be compromised by factors like harsh cleansers, frequent washing, or environmental stressors, leading to increased sensitivity and dryness.
Environmental Factors: Exposure to dry climates, harsh temperatures, or UV rays can exacerbate dryness and sensitivity.
Skincare Products: Certain ingredients, like sulphates, alcohol, or fragrances can irritate sensitive skin and worsen dryness.

Redness & rosacea

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition, ranging from mild to severe, which mainly affects the skin of the face, but can also show itself in other places such as the neck. Rosacea is characterised by localised areas of redness, from prolonged and excessive blushing in the face and neck to unsightly facial inflammation

Stretch marks

There are 6 different types of Stretch marks, which are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-colour hue caused by extreme stretching of the skin (during periods of rapid growth of the body) which in turn affects the dermis by preventing the fibroblasts from forming collagen and elastin fibres necessary to keep rapidly growing skin taut; this can create a lack of supportive material as the skin is stretched, and lead to dermal and epidermal tearing, which in turn can produce scarring in the form of stretch marks. Stretch marks predominantly occur where larger amounts of fat are stored; on the abdomen (especially near the navel), breasts, upper arms, under arms, back, thighs (both inner and outer), hips, lower back, buttocks and double chin. Over time, they tend to atrophy and lose pigmentation.

Unwanted freckles

Freckles are small brown spots on your skin, often in areas that get sun exposure. They form as a result of over production of melanin, which is responsible for skin pigmentation.

Uneven skin tone

An uneven skin tone is an examples of pigmentation issue, which is caused by sun-damage, melasma, or other medical conditions. All pigmentation issues arise from the production of the dark pigment melanin in the skin

Enlarged pores

Enlarged facial pores are visible openings on the skin that allow sweat and sebum (oil) to exit from glands onto the surface. Their size is primarily determined by genetics, but several factors make them appear larger:

Excess sebum oil production
Aging – Loss of collagen and elastin reduces skin firmness, making pores appear wider.
Sun damage – UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to less skin elasticity.

Sagging skin

Lifting, tightening and firming. Do you find yourself gently pulling back skin on your face when you look in the mirror and wishing it would stay there? Does the jiggle in your upper arms bother you? And you definitely want to avoid a surgical lift due to cost, invasiveness and health risk. There are lots of aesthetic treatments available to you.
