Facial Skin Tightening

If you want to tackle sagging skin and developing wrinkles, but don't want a surgical face-lift, there is a way.  While surgery might offer the most dramatic results, it can be very expensive, require a considerable period of recovery time and involve a degree of discomfort many men and women consider unacceptable!

The Brookdale Clinic offers an alternative method of achieving your objectives.  We use Thermaclinic radiofrequency treatment, an effective and comfortable way to achieve facial skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.

After a course of treatments you could enjoy tighter, younger looking skin with improved skin tone and elasiticity.

How does it work? 

A form of energy called Radiofrequency (RF) is applied to the skin on your face and neck using a small hand-held device.  Radiofrequency when applied in this fashion creates heat within the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the production of collagen and tightening existing collagen fibres, both of which serve to restructure and tighten the skin.

Collagen is a naturally occuring product within the skin layers that give it its elasticity and firmness.  Different people produce different amounts of collagen and for most people production generally decreases as we age.  By promoting the production of new collagen we can restore the skin to a more youthful state, so creating facial skin tightening and wrinkle reduction that looks incredibly natural.

What areas can you treat?

Using Thermaclinic we can treat the face, throat and décolletage.

How long does it take?

The time taken for each treatment can vary, but on average takes between 30 and 45 minutes. 

How long does it last?

There is an immediate impression of lift and plumping of the skin.  This effect gradually and progressively increases and after 4 sessions it is noticeably lasting.

A single session top-up is recommended on a six-monthly basis to maintain the benefit.

Results will remain over time, influenced of course by natural aging and lifestyle impacts.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically 6 to 8 treatments are required to achieve the maximum benefit, on a weekly basis.

A single session top-up is recommended every six months to maintain the effect.

Does it hurt?

The treatment is not considered painful.  In fact, the sensation of warmth created by the RF as the hand-piece passes over the skin has been described as very pleasant and relaxing!

Are there any side-effects?

Immediately after the treatment you might experience a slight pinkness of the skin but this soon disappears.  You can go straight back to work and nobody will be any the wiser!  No special after-care is required.

Very occasionally there might be some residual warmth, pinkness and/or mild swelling of the skin treated but this is very rare and will disappear within a few hours. 

Before we commence any treatment we take the time to undertake a detailed consultation with you, making sure that you are comfortable with the process and that you have no pre-existing conditions that could adversely affect it.

Following this initial consultation you can either choose to proceed immediately with treatment, or book your first session for a later date.

How much does it cost?

Should you decide to delay your first treatment session we make a charge of £25 for the initial consultation.  This is  refunded when you undertake your first treatment.
