Thank you for this wonderful advice Skin Spa…
The ideal life partner. Check.
Everything is organised, including the photographer and videographer. Check.
The big day looms and yet there is another unwelcomed third party…
The double chin. Or aged or lazy skin elsewhere…
We consulted Skin Spa Medispa in Ashgrove, Brisbane for some insight on their new medical grade technology…
“Forward planning is vital regardless of which aspect of your skin you are trying to correct. Acne, loose skin, blemishes, unwanted hair or scars; TIME is required to enable the skin, collagen or elastin to correct itself.
Often in the complexity of wedding preparation and associated stress, we notice with brides / grooms to be, is that they leave little time to correct something that requires a lot of time!”
In the case of skin tightening with medical grade technology, where collagen and elastin fibres are stimulated over a 6 week treatment duration, real results will not come into effect for some weeks as the collagen and elastin re-models itself… Acne, as a related example, will take even longer to achieve a desirable result regardless of what treatment you choose.
Forward planning is key for optimum results to coincide with your special day.
So how do I tighten that neck, chin or jowell area and what are my options?
Radio frequency treatment is often the best, non-surgical option to contour, define and tighten the neck, chin and jawline. It is also generally the least expensive.
Selecting the right RF treatment technology is the vital first step.
Consumers need to be aware there is aged technology still in use, and, whilst the prices haven’t reduced, it can be ineffective due to low, non-focused and shallow energy delivery to the treated area. Selecting a provider with modern, RF focused and patented medical grade technology is key if you are serious about visible results.
So is choosing a qualified and experienced skin therapist or dermal clinician. Ideally, they must be able to answer your questions with accuracy and inspire confidence with you. A supporting home-care routine, that supports hydrating the treatment area will also enhance results.
RF Technology, depending upon the grade and quality, will also treat areas such as fine lines around the eyes, facial lines, flabby arms and knees.
How many treatments will I need?
Every person and skin type varies greatly, but a course of 6 treatments delivered weekly with each taking 20-35 mins, will engender noticeable differences.
Needless to say, if you are committing to such a programme, then it is important to recognise the effects of diet, lifestyle choices and vitality will have on the end result. A high calorie diet or an increase in calories for instance, will offset gains you are expecting and paying for! No matter which option or technology you choose!
Is there any pain or downtime?
Some brands and types of skin tightening options can and are known to be uncomfortable at times. The latest EndyMed™ technology in use at Skin Spa has no such problem due to its sophisticated design / technology and only slight redness is possible for 1-2 hours after treatments. With no pain experienced, often clients will have the treatment in their lunch hour and speak of how calming the treatment is.
