THE KNEE & ELBOW LIFT

Radio frequency (intense radio waves to you and me) has been used in hi-tech facials for a while, but now they’re targeting bodies, too. Thermi is the latest treatment to hit the UK and can tighten loose skin anywhere from your chest to your vagina (yes, really). Stars like Demi Moore use it top to toe, but it’s great if you’ve lost weight and have saggy spots around your knees and elbows. HOW IT WORKS A probe conducting radio frequency is passed over an area to heat and tighten loose tissues by shrinking collagen fibres in the skin and encouraging new ones to grow. OUR TESTER SAYS It feels hot, but not painfully so. You need four to six treatments over six to eight weeks to see a lift. The results are permanent but, since we continue to age, a yearly top-up is advised. Thermi is available at Mallucci London (mallucci-london.com); From £400.
