Next month ‘Choosing the
Correct Chemical Peel’.
Radio-Frequency is a
great non-invasive way of creating a non-surgical face lift and has no
associated downtime. The results are seen after just one treatment and you get
the added benefit of getting a cumulative effect with subsequent treatments,
meaning that the results get better and last longer with each visit.
The best way to maximise
the results are by hydrating the skin with a good emollient, as recommended by
your skin specialist. The product will help to strengthen your skin barrier and
promote collagen and elasticity to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness
and dark circles. The best products are also non-comedogenic i.e. they do not
clog pores and they reduce redness, inflammation and optimise cell renewal. You
may also find that your skin will benefit from a more concentrated formulation
during the cooler months and possibly a very mild retinoid based product during
the warmer months that has no associated irritation of skin-thinning side
effects.
Most people find that
after a non-surgical face lift the main areas to focus your home based
treatment regime are periocular wrinkling (i.e. apply a suitable serum around
the delicate eye area), loose skin around the upper neck and forehead furrows.
Ask your clinician what
product(s) will give you maximum anti-oxidant properties with additional
firming and toning characteristics, typically these will come from natural
vitamins (not synthetic) and will extend the effects of the treatment by up to
6-8 weeks.
