One of the most important strategies in maintaining a youthful facial appearance aims to improving face contour by lifting a sagging jawline and reducing a double chin. It can be achieved using a combination of different non-surgical cosmetic treatments. At our practice we offer a technique know as a Non – Surgical Face Lift, which provides Transcutaneous Neuromuscular Electro Stimulation of facial muscles. During the treatment the electrodes from the Slim Tone device are positioned on the client’s face in different locations in order to stimulate (“exercise”) certain groups of muscle responsible for a facial lifting effect. Since facial muscles are connected to the skin it allows us to have various facial expressions and therefore, by exercising and toning certain muscles it is possible to lift a sagging jawline and improve overall face contour. This Facial Muscle Toning procedure is non-invasive and doesn’t have any down time – it is a lunch time procedure. It is also very well tolerated by most clients and takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour. It is recommended to perform Facial Muscle Toning in a course of 6 to 12 treatments once or twice a week, or as often as a client’s busy schedule allows. The effect of the treatment is noticeable immediately after each procedure, and a maximum long-term effect is achieved after a course of treatments when certain facial muscles become stronger and more toned.

 

In most cases Facial Muscle Toning treatments may be combined with other aesthetic techniques to obtain the best possible results. Depending on what exactly contributes to a poor facial contour and droopy jawline (e.g., volume loss due to aging and/or fast weight loss, or excessive fat tissue on the face and neck, double chin etc.) the Slim Tone technique can be combined with Skin Tightening and/or Mesotherapy (these procedures are described in the corresponding sections on this website). For example, in cases when excessive fat is present in the lower face and neck area, Facial Muscle Toning can be combined with Skin Tightening that reduces fat volume, firms up and lifts the skin. In clients with volume loss the combination of Muscle toning with a Needle-free Mesotherapy or Microneedling helps to restore the facial volume and sculpt the overall contour of the face. During the consultation appointment the initial assessment of the client’s skin and face is performed, and the best, individualised treatment strategy is discussed with each client, also taking into consideration the budget and the work schedule.
