How to achieve an Instant Facelift?

For those not wishing to undergo the major surgery involved in a full Facelift, or even the minimally invasive procedures such as One Stitch or Mini Facelifts, there are numerous alternatives available to give you and immediate, if temporary 'lift'.

'High-tech' Solutions

If you are prepared to invest in a longer lasting treatment, 'Thermage' is a procedure which uses radio frequency technology to target the mid to lower layers of skin. The clinician uses a hand piece, holding two electrodes, to deliver radio frequency energy to the targeted area, heating the existing collagen contained in the skin cells and stimulating the production of new. The results of the procedure become increasingly visible over time with the skin becoming firmer and more toned, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles being greatly diminished. Prices for the 'Thermage' treatment start from £2,800 with possible associated fees for consultation and a Patch Test. The effects, however may last for up to 2 years, which makes the investment a little more bearable.

Another possibility is a 'Fluid Facelift', offered by 'The Private Clinic' in Harley Street. They use a combination of non-invasive procedures, Dermal Fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, Voluma and other Hyaluronic Acid based products, with muscle relaxing injections, to leave the skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated. The combination of products used can be tailor made to suit the individual client's particular needs, and to target specific areas of concern. Depending on the products used, costs for the 'Fluid Facelift' start from £1,200.

Anything for home use?

'Faradic Facial Toning' uses EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) technology and has been available for use in Beauty Salons for over 40 years. Tiny electrical impulses are applied to the target area, causing the facial muscles to relax and contract, gently lifting the skin and leaving the area tightened and toned. The process also stimulates circulation, oxygenating the skin cells and dispersing toxins from under the skin, leaving the face looking clearer and more youthful. This technique can also be used in combination with Iontophoresis Infusion, which takes collagen and retinol and infuses them deep into the skin to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The 'Faradic Toner' is available from a variety of stockists priced from £48.

Described as the 'Cinderella' serum because of its amazing transforming properties, 'Skin Tight Face Serum' contains the most concentrated formulation of anti- ageing ingredients available. It is claimed to give an immediate 'Botox like' effect, firming the skin and diminishing wrinkles, as well as delivering long-term hydrating benefits from the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid. It also contains 'super ingredients', Argireline and Pullalan which work on double chins and sagging jowls to dramatically improve contouring and definition. This 'wonder' serum is available from the USA priced from $32.95 (£20) excluding shipping costs.

Anything for a night out?

If you only need a very quick, very inexpensive solution try the 'Instant Facelift' from the USA. Surgical grade adhesive tabs connected to elastic cords, which you attach to the target points at either side of the face and lift, creating an instant facelift effect. Perfect for a night out, and even available in a choice of colours to blend with your hair and skin tone. Priced from $26.99 (£16) to suit every pocket.
