Body tightening in St John’s Wood is increasingly being sought by customers who have experienced rapid weight loss, customers looking to firm up post pregnancy excess skin and customers who are experiencing skin laxity due to ageing.
Although the majority of our customers simply want to sort out unsightly sagging areas and need only minor corrective treatment, extreme cases of excess skin can occur. In the news last month, an Australian woman, who paid thousands of pounds to have surgery, hit the headlines. After dropping from size 24 to size 6, she claimed her rolls of excess skin made her look like a shar-pei dog.
The sheer amount of useless skin that she found herself carrying around with her, following a diet consisting of protein shakes, meant that she couldn’t exercise to tone her body. If you’re struggling to shift stubborn pockets of resistant fat or excess skin with diet and exercise alone, we can help.
Whether you have a double chin you’d like firmed up to look more youthful, or you’d like to get rid of the swinging skin under your upper arms, we can help by offering you a couple of non-invasive options. Our radio frequency treatment and acoustic wave therapy involves no surgery, no stitches, no scarring and no downtime. To find out which treatment is most likely to tighten the area you’re looking to firm up, please get in touch to book a free consultation at our St John’s Wood practice.
The treatment provided by the Elite Exilis handheld device, which we use here at the Aesthetics Lab has a success rate of 95% according to a 2013 survey, which was reported on in the Aesthetics Guide publication. It can reduce fat by up to 2cm in relatively fewer sessions than the devices that came before it, but what does radiofrequency treatment involve?
The device is held next to the skin and causes a warming sensation that isn’t unpleasant and certainly not painful. Under the skin, ultrasound energy is deposited in order to stimulate the growth of new collagen, a key ingredient of your new tighter skin tissue.
Again a handheld device is held close to the skin and a warming sensation will be experienced. Again the body’s natural repair system will be triggered to stimulate new collagen and rebuild tighter, fresher skin. Fat cells will be broken down and lymphatic drainage will occur. This process is called lipolysis. Improved drainage in the lymphatic system means fat cells can be flushed away more efficiently and your metabolic rate will increase.
If you’re looking to firm up the skin on your lower face and tighten your jawline, or you’d like the sagging parts of your body contoured, please get in touch to discuss your options. One of our highly qualified therapists will be happy to book you in for a free consultation to answer all your questions and show you what’s possible.
