Skin Lifting & Tightening
From our thirties, collagen quietly declines: the jawline softens before a single wrinkle appears. Energy devices rebuild support at the depth it was lost, without surgery.
Sound familiar?
Which of these are you seeing?
Early jowling is deep support weakening: the SMAS layer and ligaments that hold the lower face. Creams work far above the problem; focused energy can reach it.
Jawline softeningLaxity and wrinkles are different things. Loose, lax skin is collagen thinning through the dermis, and it responds to collagen-stimulating energy rather than injectables.
Skin laxityUnder-chin fullness is usually a small, stubborn fat compartment. Focused ultrasound can reduce it precisely, no needles, no surgery.
Under-chin fullnessCollagen banking is real: stimulating collagen in your thirties and forties keeps support ahead of the decline, smaller, earlier treatments instead of bigger, later ones.
PreventionWhy depth matters
Same face. Different layer.
Fine lines, looseness and loss of elasticity in the dermis, where collagen is present.
Thermage FLX, Sofwave and Oligio deliver radiofrequency or ultrasound energy into the dermis to stimulate collagen, and BBL SkinTyte uses infrared light to firm sagging skin.
Jowls, blurred jawline and heaviness in the lower face, as the SMAS (muscle fascia) layer loses its hold.
Ultherapy PRIME uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to lift the SMAS layer, improving sagging skin and elasticity.
Double chin, fullness along the jawline and small, stubborn areas of excess fat.
InMode Define and Mini-FX use radiofrequency and deep tissue heating to reduce fat volume and tighten the skin, and Ultherapy PRIME can also improve a double chin.
“Combination protocol and bespoke design carried out by an experienced consultant dermatologist, tailored to each patient's skin ageing rate and progress.”
Where lifting works
Every layer, targeted.
Our skin tightening procedures utilise a multi-care system that combines the characteristics of various skin tightening technologies, ensuring every layer of the skin is effectively targeted. We offer programmes tailored to each patient's skin condition, ageing rate and overall progress, ensuring treatments that suit all skin types.
How we treat
The right energy for every layer.
We offer a range of specially developed procedures aimed at addressing the signs of ageing, using ultrasound, radiofrequency and infrared light. Programmes are tailored to each patient's skin condition, ageing rate and overall progress, and can combine several devices.
BBL SkinTyte
Uses advanced infrared light technology to target loose skin, promoting smoother skin and improving overall skin tone. It reduces sagging skin and enhances skin firmness with minimal recovery time, with a brightening, tightening and slimming effect.
Ultherapy PRIME
Uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to lift the SMAS layer (muscle fascia layer), improving fine lines, wrinkles, double chin, sagging skin, skin elasticity and fat reduction.
Thermage FLX
Delivers high-frequency thermal energy to the dermis layer where collagen is present, promoting collagen regeneration, improving wrinkles and elasticity, and achieving firmer skin. Also improves skin texture, tone and enlarged pores.
Sofwave
Uses proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology to target the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production to lift and tighten the skin, improving double chin, wrinkles, sagging and elasticity.
Oligio
Uses RF high-frequency waves to activate collagen in the dermis layer of the skin, improving fine lines, pores, skin texture, double chin and tightness. A session can be completed in less than 20 minutes.
InMode Define
A hands-free headset delivering bipolar radiofrequency energy to the cheeks and jawline. Maintaining a constant temperature, it treats the dermis and subdermal tissue, reducing fat volume in the jowls, double chin and smile lines without surgery or downtime.
InMode Mini-FX
Uses radiofrequency energy and deep tissue heating to target small, stubborn areas of sagging skin and excess fat on the face and neck, promoting collagen production for a firmer, smoother contour without surgery.
InMode Forma
A non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and improve skin elasticity. With precise temperature control, it suits all skin types and is used on the face, neck and smaller body areas, with gradual tightening and lifting.

Your journey, visit by visit
What actually happens.
Consultation & treatment plan
Your skin is assessed by an experienced consultant dermatologist, and a programme is designed around your skin condition, ageing rate and goals, combining devices where that suits you.
You commit to nothing at this stageThe tightening sessions
The number of sessions depends on the device: one Thermage FLX or Sofwave session a year, one to two Ultherapy PRIME sessions a year, three Oligio sessions a year, three to five BBL SkinTyte sessions two to four weeks apart, or three to six InMode Define sessions two weeks apart.
You can resume your daily activities straight awayAftercare
Avoid high-temperature saunas and swimming pools for one week to prevent irritation to the treated area. Refrain from alcohol and smoking, as they may interfere with recovery, and avoid applying pressure to or rubbing the treated area.
Maintaining your results
Results can last for up to a year or more, depending on your skin condition and maintenance; Thermage FLX results last one to two years. Maintenance follows each device's schedule.
Honest expectations
What to expect, and what not to.
Designed for those with limited time: many procedures can be done quickly, fitting into a lunch break. An Oligio session takes less than 20 minutes.
Immediate recovery, allowing you to resume your daily activities with minimal interruption.
Results can be seen after just one treatment, and results can last for up to a year or more, depending on your skin condition and maintenance.
A facelift without surgery. These treatments suit mild to moderate skin laxity; if your laxity is beyond what they can deliver, we will tell you so at your consultation.

Questions
Asked before booking.
Skin tightening treatments are a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery. While surgery may involve incisions, downtime and a more intensive recovery process, these treatments offer a way to treat sagging skin with minimal downtime and discomfort, without the risks associated with surgery.
The dermatologist will use advanced skin tightening technology to target the deep layers of your skin. The goal is to stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, improve its texture and address common concerns such as sagging skin, uneven skin texture and loss of elasticity.
Our treatment technology is designed to accommodate various skin types, including darker skin tones. The advanced settings allow us to customise treatments safely for different skin tones while improving skin texture and firmness.
Results from a skin tightening treatment can last for up to a year or more, depending on the individual's skin condition and maintenance.
Non-surgical skin tightening uses technologies such as radiofrequency, ultrasound or infrared light to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. These treatments lift loose skin for a firmer, more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
It depends on your specific needs and goals. For overall lifting and firmness, Ultherapy PRIME, which uses ultrasound, or Thermage FLX, a radiofrequency-based treatment, are options with minimal downtime.
Yes. Radiofrequency treatments such as InMode Forma and Thermage FLX can be used on the neck. They stimulate collagen production in the dermis, reducing sagging and improving skin elasticity for a smoother, firmer neck.
Different technologies target different skin concerns and layers. This range of options allows treatment to be tailored to individual needs.
