All solutions, from the mildest to the most radical, to delay and “pimp” the face. Without forgetting that only an aesthetic doctor will be able to diagnose and guide you to the treatment that suits you.
More toned skin with hifu
Technique: Ultrasound energy heats the tissues point by point, at different depths, to clear fat tissue and/or restart collagen production.
How is it going? Contact gel is applied to the lower third of the face and neck, and then the doctor sends a series of ultrasounds from deep within the skin (muscle or fat layer) to the surface. Small electrical shocks are felt with each stroke. After the session, which lasts forty minutes, the skin has some redness, slight swelling and sensitivity for several hours.
The result: It appears gradually, after two months. A second session may then be scheduled to reinforce the results. An annual service session is then recommended.
For whom: They are looking for a gentle treatment without injecting foreign bodies under the skin and without side effects that require cessation of activity. Please note: best results are achieved in patients with thick skin.
How much does it cost? From 450 euros per session.
Highlight the oval with hyaluronic acid
Technique: It consists of injecting a filling product in the areas of the oval where the relief is missing.
How is it going? The doctor chooses a volume agent, which he places along the entire length jaw line improve its definition. On the other hand, if the latter is already well defined, but the stalks are starting to form, then a touch of hyaluronic acid upstream and downstream is enough to blur it. Redness, swelling and bruising are possible.
The result: It is visible instantly and lasts for one year.
For whom: Those who want a more structured lower face and/or reduce the appearance of wrinkles. “Besides these two cases, be careful, the injection of hyaluronic acid can have a weighting effect. This is not an indication in the case of marked relaxation,” warns Dr: Robin Mukherjee, plastic surgeon.
How much does it cost? From €350.
Lighten the neck with cryolipolysis
Technique: The controlled cooling system freezes the fat cells in the double chin, causing them to be destroyed. The waste is then excreted from the body over the following weeks. In one session, we get a 25% reduction in the fat layer.
How is it going? The treatment is carried out without anesthesia. The mini-applicator catches the bulge under the neck and freezes it for thirty minutes. A massage is then performed to warm the skin. Redness, swelling, bruising, and numbness of the treated area may occur, but they disappear quickly.
The result: It appears within three months after the session. If it is incomplete, a second session can be held. The results are sustainable if you control your lifestyle.
For whom: A patient with a clearly visible double chin and still toned skin.
How much does it cost? From 350 euros per area.
Tighten tissues with a collagen inducer
Technique: It uses an injectable product derived from a synthetic material delivered by an aqueous gel that stimulates the skin’s ability to produce its own collagen for denser and toned tissue. But unlike hyaluronic acid, the product does not affect the volume of the face. It does not blow again. It just provides a nice pulling effect.
How is it going? The product is injected in a fan pattern into the fatty layer along the cheek and neck. This is followed by redness, swelling, sometimes small bruises, which, however, can be stronger than after the injection of hyaluronic acid. Most often only one session is needed, but it all depends on the product used (there are several on the market).
The result: It is visible after the first month and optimally after three. The product has a shelf life of twelve to twenty-four months, depending on the specialty.
For whom: “A 35/40-year-old patient with thick skin who does not primarily want to transform, but is looking for a natural tightening effect to emphasize the contour of the face,” adds D.D: Isabel Rousseau, dermatologist.
How much does it cost? From €350 to €600 depending on the product being injected.
Transform everything with micro-needle radio frequency
Technique: It combines radiofrequency heat with needles that microperforate the skin through its full thickness. Treats double chins, large chins, stimulates collagen for a more toned oval and smooth skin.
How is it going? After applying anesthetic cream, the doctor moves the tip of his device over the cheeks, oval or even the neck for thirty minutes. It feels like small electric shocks. On withdrawal, the skin is red for one to two days, slightly swollen for a few weeks, and feels rough. The protocol is three to four sessions, one month apart.
The result: Collagen remodeling occurs over the next two to three months and persists for at least a year.
For whom: Those looking for a total result on the oval and neck: a lifting effect, a delicate lower face and beautiful skin. All without introducing foreign bodies. But you don’t have to be phobic about needles.
How much does it cost? From 350 euros per session.
Treat the loosening with tensor threads
Technique: It consists of absorbable, notched surgical sutures that slide under the skin to restore tension in weakened tissues, improving tissue quality.
How is it going? There are several techniques. One of them uses a single thread 25 cm long, placed on a double needle. The doctor inserts two needles in front of the ear. One comes out at the corner of the mouth, the other at the level of the cheekbones. By pulling the skin back, the threads are put under tension. The faces are opened in the tissue and hold the threads, the oval is raised. The pose lasts fifteen minutes.
The result: “The lifting effect is immediate but optimal after one to two months and continues after the threads are absorbed, with a collagen-inducing effect caused by the nature of the thread itself,” explains esthetician Dr. Michael Margulies. It then gradually decreases over twelve and eighteen months.
For whom: A 45- to 55-year-old woman who is not yet a candidate for facial surgery but wants to work on facial sagging. Its bone volume jaw line satisfactory, but rashes are beginning to appear. Second indication: patients who are more pronounced but refuse surgery. The outcome of the themes, however, is less durable. Please note that in order for them not to be visible on thin skin, we simply use finer threads.
How much does it cost? About 1000 euros.
Delay the scalpel, with endolifting
The technique. An optical fiber delivering laser energy is inserted under the skin. During contact, the water contained in the tissues is absorbed and the tissues are stretched. Machines for surgeons also affect the fat on the double chin.
How is it going? Under local anesthesia, the doctor inserts a fiber in front of the ear, under the dermis, and moves it back and forth in a fan-shaped path. The session lasts one hour. When leaving, the face is slightly swollen and remains for a short week. “Ideally, the treatment should be carried out using ultrasound. Then we perfectly visualize the nerves and vessels, which avoids bruising and paresthesia, numbness of the area, which is quite common with this technique, which can last for several weeks,” says D.D: Nabila Merniz, pain and aesthetic doctor.
The result: It is optimal within two months and lasts at least two or three years.
For whom: Women aged 45 years and older, regardless of their skin type, complain of more pronounced sagging of the face and lower neck. this is a treatment just before the face is removed.
How much does it cost? Between €1000 and €1500 per session.
