Lunchtime Facelift
Skin specialists and doctors predicted that 2021 was going to be the year of the skin! It turns out that 2022 is set to go the same way. Helen Coates explains some of the latest pioneering new anti-ageing treatments
Helen Coates and her team have been undertaking extensive training with the Lynton Clinic to broaden the treatments on offer at her salon – so if you’ve never heard of the HIFU facial, remember you heard it here first!
The medical-grade Lynton Focus Dual is CE certified indicating conformity with European directives including health, safety and environmental requirements.
As one of the first salons in the region to introduce the Lynton Focus Dual, Helen explains why HIFU is the buzz word in the beauty industry and why it’s known as the ‘lunchtime facelift’: “HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. The Focus Dual is known as the lunchtime facelift because it can be exactly that – one of the most sought-after lifting, firming and tightening treatments for the face and neck.
“Deep in the skin lies the SMAS layer, this is the layer a surgeon physically lifts but as it lies so deep it’s difficult to target with other non-surgical procedures. HIFU focuses on this layer which immediately contracts without damage to the skin surface or surrounding areas.
“HIFU can be adjusted to target the upper and lower dermis too and can lift and tighten jawlines, enhance cheekbones and reduce lines, wrinkles and crepiness – all completely pain free.”
Helen explains that microneedling and radio frequency can also help improve lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, particularly around the neck and jowls and help those who have uneven skin texture or scarring.
“The magic word here is collagen which is the main protein responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. The Focus Dual Device works to reverse the signs of ageing by giving the skin back it’s snap!
“Tiny microneedles penetrate the skin to reach deep into the dermis layer. This results in micro-injuries which create a healing response within the skin which in turn stimulates new supplies of collagen.
“Radio frequency is then delivered to heal the dermis layer and further speed up the collagen production process.”
Because the state-of-the-art Focus Dual device uses two technologies, ultra-fine needles and a unique vacuum-suction technology, those who undergo treatment might experience a tingling sensation and the skin can feel a little warm but there is little or no downtime – hence the lunchtime facelift!
