LESS HASTE, MORE SPEED
You may be doing everything right by your skin—from eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water to diligently applying moisturiser as well as a sunscreen with good SPF and PA ratings—but still suffer a lacklustre complexion and a slackness that lifting skincare products just cannot seem to fully address.
ICON Aesthetics lends a helping hand with its ICONIC 4D Facelift, a shaping and tightening treatment designed to redefine your facial contours so you can show off a more sculpted, youthful visage.
SHAPE UP FROM THE INSIDE OUT
The first thing you need to understand is that loose skin is the result of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors: The natural ageing process brings with it a reduction in the body’s production of collagen, while environmental aggressors and free radicals degrade the existing fibres. And since collagen provides structure to the skin, the loss and degradation of the protein naturally result in sagginess, wrinkles and folds that will only become more pronounced over time.
What the ICONIC 4D Facelift does is initiate collagen remodelling as well as stimulate the natural production of collagen. Utilising radiofrequency energy, it delivers heat into the deeper layers of the skin to denature older and stretched-out collagen strands, encouraging a contraction and realignment of the fibres for a tightening effect.
The heat also triggers the body’s natural healing response, including the production of new collagen. This helps improve the skin’s support structure, giving you tighter, firmer skin down the road.
It’s natural you’d want to look your best in the shortest time possible, but don’t rush it when it comes to the ICONIC 4D Facelift. While there is zero downtime (any redness usually dissipates by the end of the 60-minute facial), it’s best to leave at least four weeks between sessions, so the skin has enough time to rest and recover before you stimulate it again.
And don’t be disappointed if you don’t notice a remarkable lift immediately post-session. It typically takes a few weeks for the full results to show, so be patient. Before you know it, you’ll be flaunting tauter, shapelier facial contours coupled with a new-found radiance that’ll not just shave years off your look but also give you a huge confidence boost.
