NON-SURGICAL FACELIFTS: 7 OF THE BEST

THREAD LIFT

THREE or four filaments are threaded through the skin from the temples down across the cheeks.

Your skin is then lifted by nudging it along the threads, which have little cones on them to stop the skin sliding back down.

RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING

CLINICAL microneedling creates thousands of tiny wounds, to stimulate the healing process and give you a tighter complexion.

Combine it with radiofrequency — the energy is delivered deep into the skin via microneedles — and the results are impressive.

Judy Murray had this done last year.

MOISTURE JABS

HYDRATING gels such as Profhilo, Volite or Skinboosters encourage the skin to remodel itself. The injections can make dry, post-menopausal skin glow.

LASER & INTENSE PULSED LIGHT

INTENSE pulsed light zaps away age spots or red thread veins, while more intense laser treatment, which also uses light energy, can tighten and clear pigmentation.

ULTRASOUND

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can tighten the skin at a deeper level than other treatments. The bestknown brands are Ultherapy (Kirsty Gallagher is its ambassador) and Ultracel.

RADIOFREQUENCY

THIS uses heat to stimulate collagen. The FaceTite system uses a probe that delivers radiofrequency inside the skin for impressive tightening and fat-busting.

FILLERS

INJECTABLE fillers can be used in a liquid face lift. Our faces start off full of fat pads which deflate over the years, leaving our cheeks and even our temples looking hollow.

Stiffer fillers can improve the structure of the face, while softer ones can replace lost volume.
