Anti-agers no one but you need know about
Weightloss has totally ruined my looks
QI RECENTLY lost three stone, which I was over the moon about, except for the fact that my face has really suffered. The skin on my cheeks and jaw looks thinner and now sags. Is there anything I can do about it without putting on weight again?
Acombination of ultrasound treatments, which tighten skin and lift underlying muscle with sound waves, and fillers in the midface to replace lost volume is the gold standard if you want proper results.
Dr Stefanie Williams, of London’s eudelo clinic, recommends Ultherapy MicroFocused Ultrasound with Visualisation (MFU-V) — a particularly precise kind of ultrasound, for which she charges £1,100 per session.
Beware: it is damned painful but one treatment a year could be enough for real results.
Alternatively, London’s PHi Clinic prefers the similar but ‘more comfortable’ Ultraformer MFU device, at £995. Prices vary nationwide.
As for hyaluronic acid cheek fillers, do your research, as not every practitioner has an eye for natural work.
You don’t want to end up with hamster cheeks, so consult at least three different doctors and study their before-andafter results.
expect to pay from £700. You’ll need top-ups every nine months initially, but less and less often over time.
