Choices offer natural resultNEW GENERATION FACE LIFTS explained with Dr Buddy advertising feature
WHEN it comes to taking a few years off your face, a surgical lift has traditionally been your only option. But with the procedure comes a long list of downsides: they’re expensive, require a general anaesthetic, have a lengthy recovery time and risks including scarring, infection and paralysis, not to mention a chance of looking like the Bride of Frankenstein afterwards.
But a new generation of non-surgical face and neck lifts is promising to change all that. “They use only a topical anaesthetic, there’s no scarring, can be done progressively and are reversible if you don’t like the finished result,” says director of MD Cosmedical Solutions, Dr Buddy Beaini. “They give a natural result without minimal downtime – and the costs are much cheaper than a traditional facelift.”
IF YOU WANT…SKIN LIFTINGIf sagging skin is your main concern, the Astarte Threadlift can help by boosting the skin’s natural scaffolding system. Under local anaesthetic, a series of dissolvable threads are inserted directly under the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, to lift the skin upwards. At the same time, collagen and elastin production is increased, so that when the threads dissolve, a new self-supporting skin structure takes its place. “It gives a natural facelift and the results last up to five years,” says Dr Buddy. Treatments take around an hour and downtime can be just a few days.
IF YOU WANT…SKIN TIGHTENINGWith fans including Madonna, Oprah, Demi Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow, Thermage CPT
is gaining a following for its ability to tighten and smooth the skin. The treatment uses radio frequencies to heat the dermis, tightening existing collagen fibres and stimulating growth. Because only the dermis is affected, there’s no redness and you can return to work straight away. “It’s a lunchtime treatment and you can see the results immediately,” says Dr Buddy. Each treatment takes between 30 and 90 minutes, with results lasting from three to five years.
IF YOU WANT… A COMBINATION LIFT Have some pesky wrinkles or age spots you want to deal with? The Fotona Twinlight treatment uses a combination of lasers to tighten and lift the skin while also treating flaws such as wrinkles, scars and pigmentation. “It offers a combination of skin rejuvenation with laser skin tightening,” says Dr Buddy. Four treatments are required, usually held one to two months apart. “There’s downtime of just a few days and the effects last several years,” says Dr Buddy.
IF YOU WANT…THE BEGINNER’S LIFTJust starting out? The “liquid facelift” promises a gentle way of restoring facial volume lost through age. Dermal fillers are injected into the “pivot points” of the face – usually cheeks, nasolabial lines, lips and along the jawline – to add volume and give a more defined appearance. “It’s a start-up treatment and good for younger age groups,” says Dr Buddy. Better still, results last 12-18 months and you can go back to work straight afterwards.Gone are the days when a surgical lift was the only option to take years off your face.
