face Contouring
Face contouring treatment is a cosmetic procedure that uses a variety of techniques to reshape the face and create a more youthful and attractive appearance. The most common techniques used in face contouring treatment include:
Reshape Your Face for a More Youthful Appearance
Botox injections: Botox injections can be used to relax the muscles in the face, which can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Filler injections:Filler injections work by adding volume to the face. This can help to plump up the cheeks, lips, and other areas, which can create a more youthful and attractive appearance.
Thread lifting: Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses threads to lift and tighten the skin. The threads are inserted under the skin and then used to lift and support the skin.
Radiofrequency treatment: Radiofrequency treatment uses heat to stimulate collagen production, which can help to improve the appearance of the skin.
Laser treatment: Laser treatment can be used to remove wrinkles, age spots, and other blemishes.
Types of Facial Contouring Procedures
Common facial contouring procedures include the following:
HIFU Treatment: High-Intensity Facial Ultrasound is a non-surgical procedure that makes use of ultrasound energy to produce more collagen & elastin within the skin, thereby tightening it. It is a comparatively newer cosmetic procedure but is considered by many as a non-surgical & pain-free replacement for facelifts. HIFU treatments result in greatly reduced fine lines & wrinkles as well as overall improvement in facial appearance
CoolSculpting: This non-surgical facial contouring technique aims to reduce fat deposition under the skin. This is achieved by freezing fat deposits & fat-producing cells under the skin until they are removed entirely. The overall reduction in fat deposition results in enhanced facial features
Lipodissolve: Lipodissolve is a facial contouring procedure that includes injecting medication into the skin to dissolve fat deposits. The medications that are most commonly used in this treatment are phosphatidylcholine & deoxycholate
Thermalift: Thermalift makes use of a portable device to deliver closely monitored doses of radio waves to the skin. This achieves improved collagen production within the skin. Collagen works to tighten the skin & prevent it from sagging. Before the procedure begins, the doctor may apply an anesthetic cream to the area. It is also common for a cooling spray to be used to soothe the skin during the procedure
Velashape: This is another popular non-surgical skin tightening procedure. During the procedure, the target area is prepared before using the Velashape device to deliver infrared & radio waves to the skin. The infrared waves work to remove subcutaneous fat deposits by destroying fat-producing cells.
How Face Contouring Treatment Works
The specific techniques used in face contouring treatment will vary depending on the individual’s needs and goals. However, all of the techniques work by targeting the underlying causes of aging and facial changes.
Botox injections work by blocking the nerve signals that cause the muscles in the face to contract. This can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Filler injections work by adding volume to the face. This can help to plump up the cheeks, lips, and other areas, which can create a more youthful and attractive appearance. Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses threads to lift and tighten the skin. The threads are inserted under the skin and then used to lift and support the skin.
Radiofrequency treatment uses heat to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that gives the skin its strength and elasticity. When collagen production is stimulated, the skin can appear plumper, smoother, and younger.
Laser treatment can be used to remove wrinkles, age spots, and other blemishes. Lasers work by emitting light that is absorbed by the pigment in the skin. This can help to break up the pigment and remove it from the skin.
