The Benefits of Thermage: Skin Tightening and Skin Lifting in a Single Treatment

March 26, 2021 by aarti.sharma Leave a Comment

Thermage® CPT is a pioneering non-surgical skin treatment that addresses the visible signs of ageing in a matter of minutes. In just one 30-minute treatment session, it helps to smooth, tighten and contour the skin for a completely refreshed and rejuvenated look. It is most well-known for its ability to produce long-lasting and completely natural-looking results without any invasive surgery or downtime. This has made it popular with a wealth of celebrities including Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, who all favour the treatment for its understated yet impactful results.

Thermage: Skin Tightening & Skin Lifting in one

Another key factor that makes the treatment so popular is that it does two transformational actions at once; it both tightens and firms the skin’s texture while also generating a natural three-dimensional lift. This has made it ideal for patients who want to lift loose and sagging areas of skin across their face for example, like sagging skin across the cheeks or jowls, while also tightening up the skin’s texture so that wrinkles, deep crevices and uneven skin tone can be smoothed, firmed and tightened.

Thermage CPT® Treatment Benefits

As one of the world’s leading skin tightening and lifting treatments, Thermage can:

  • Create tighter, smoother looking skin
  • Soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce the appearance of jowls
  • Lift sagging skin
  • Tighten uneven skin
  • Reduce the appearance of deep-set pores
  • Reduce scowl lines
  • Minimise the appearance of crow’s feet
  • Soften forehead lines
  • Reduce acne scars
  • Contour the shape of the jawline


What areas can Thermage lift and tighten?

Thermage stands out against other non-surgical treatments because it can lift and tighten skin across both the face and body. Thermage uses thermal radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep collagen-rich layers of the skin’s dermis. This stimulating energy kickstarts the body’s own cell renewal process, resulting in firmer and more lifted skin that radiates strength, tautness and luminosity. Thermage has been designed to lift and tighten skin around the face, eyes and neck area, but it can also be used to provide a visible lift to areas of the body like the stomach (abdomen), arms, butt and knees. Thermage can lift and tighten skin across:

  • The face (upper and lower)
  • Eyelids (with Thermage Eyes)
  • Undereye area (with Thermage Eyes)
  • Forehead
  • Jowls
  • Jawline
  • Cheeks
  • Neck
  • Décolletage (chest area) – the ‘Turkey Neck’
  • Stomach (abdomen)
  • Arms – ‘Bingo wings’
  • Knees
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Wrinkled hands


How does Thermage tighten the skin? 

The Thermage Skin Tightening process

As we age, collagen proteins in our skin begin to gradually deplete. Collagen is a central component of the connective tissues in our skin, so when it starts to break down over time, our skin loses its elasticity and strength, resulting in sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen works by keeping our skin tissues taut and connected; it acts exactly like a foundational structure, so when it starts to break down, our skin droops and sags with it, as it doesn’t have a well-formed structural skeleton like it had before. This is why deep-set wrinkles start to appear, and our pores appear larger than they once were.

Collagen contraction – immediate skin tightening 

Thermage corrects this process by using radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat up the collagen strands that already exist in the skin’s dermis layer. It uses a cooling tip device to maximise patient comfort while the heating process is occurring. This applied heat energy then separates water molecules from the fibrous collagen, causing a three-dimensional contraction of the collagen protein. This contraction generates an instant tightening of the collagen structures, which immediately restores strength to the skin’s connective tissues. Skin is tightened and firmed immediately, as the collagen layers continually remodel themselves over time for the next stage of the skin renewal process. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out and the appearance of large pores are reduced as the skin tightens up. The lines and crevices that appeared before are reduced as skin laxity is directly treated through this advanced tightening process.


How does Thermage lift the skin?

TheThermage Skin Lifting process

After an initial tightening of the skin, Thermage works in a continuously uplifting way by remodelling collagen tissues and encouraging new ones to build. Once the initial Thermage treatment has taken place, skin will feel firmer and tighter as the existing collagen stores contract. Then, over the following few months, new collagen structures will grow to further tighten and lift the skin over time.

Collagen reproduction – gradual skin lifting

Thermage’s advanced radiofrequency heat energy doesn’t just stimulate collagen contraction while the treatment takes place. The heat energy acts as a catalyst for a new cell regeneration process that replenishes the skin with fresh collagen stores. The body responds to the heat stimulation energy afterwards by activating a secondary healing response that deposits new collagen proteins in the connective skin tissues of the skin. Existing collagen stores are also continually remodelled as part of this process so that they provide greater strength and structural support to the surface layers of the skin.

These gradual processes work to saturate the skin with fresh and renewed collagen stores within 2 to 6 months after the Thermage treatment session. At this time, patients will notice a visible lift to areas of skin that have sagged downwards over time. Jowls will look lifted and replenished and the visible effect of sagging skin will be eradicated as the skin lifts itself back up thanks to the remodelling and reproduction of collagen proteins.

Thermage Skin Lifting and Skin Tightening Results

How soon will I notice results? 

Most patients will experience an immediate visible improvement in their skin quality. This is due to the collagen contraction process which stimulates a rapid tightening and firming of the skin. Over time, the body will naturally rebuild and renew its collagen stores, with optimal skin improvements showing through between 2 to 6 months after a single treatment. Skin will appear brighter, smoother and more luminous by this time, and results can last for years depending on your ageing process and natural skin condition.

How many laser hair removal treatments do I need?

January 4, 2018 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

We’ve written before about the wonders of Laser Hair Removal and how and why it’s considered the top treatment for removing unwanted body hair. We often get asked how many sessions it takes to remove the hair totally. The answer to that needs a little unpacking so we thought we’d write this blog to address it.

Results are not instant so you do need to commit to a course to get the best result possible. The amount of time between each session is about a month to six weeks. You don’t want to leave it much longer than that or you may miss the hair regrowth cycle and risk not getting the best result. Similarly coming in too soon is not helpful and sabotages the possibility of you getting the best outcome.https://www.theprivateclinic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/laser-hair-removal-banner-the-private-clinic.jpg

The average amount of sessions needed is six which is why we sell courses of that length. A course of six catches the full cycle of hair growth.

Your treatment can take anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour depending on the size of the area and part of the body being treated.

A top-up session or two may be needed after the course just to complete the treatment, in some rare cases, another course is needed to ensure permanent reduction. Laser hair removal is especially effective on dark hair as the laser is drawn to the pigment, so lighter hair may need more attention.

If you don’t have much hair in the area you’re having treated or if you’ve had a course before, or even just find it more convenient to pay separately you can, of course, book single sessions.

Laser Hair Removal Prices

So how much does it all cost? Here’s our handy price guide to our most popular areas-

Area Cost – Pay As You Go Cost – Course Cost – Top Up
Underarms £60 £300 £54
Full Back and Shoulders £269 £1,345 £242
Standard Bikini £85 £452 £77
Extensive Bikini £130 £650 £117
Lower Legs £150 £750 £135
Full Legs £280 £1,400 £252
Standard Bikini and Underarms £139 £695 £126
Extensive Bikini and Underarms £180 £900 £162
Hollywood and Underarms £210 £1,050 £189

Why You Should Choose The Private Clinic

In our experience, it is absolutely worth investing in yourself with the very best provider of such services. If you’ve found a cheaper deal elsewhere then we urge you to question why it is so inexpensive, usually, corners are being cut somewhere whether it’s in the experience of the staff or the effectiveness of the machine or perhaps they only do spot treatment whereas we cover every cm of the area. When it comes to your health it doesn’t pay to take risks.

We are the country’s leading non-invasive cosmetic clinic group and have just won the Aesthetics Award for Best Clinic Group 2017. We pride ourselves on working with only the most experienced doctors, surgeons and medical staff who have seen thousands of happy patients for over 30 years.

Do I need implants with my Breast Uplift?

January 2, 2018 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

A breast uplift procedure is a common request for patients who feel their breasts have dropped in position and lack volume in the upper half of the chest. Some common reasons for this include;

  • Pregnancy and Breast Feeding
  • Substantial Weight Loss
  • Ageing Skin

For some breast sagging or dropping is just natural part of ageing but for others who have experienced premature sagging to the breasts it can deeply affect and reduce self-confidence especially when it comes to undressing and even when it comes to choosing outfits to wear.

A breast uplift or a mastopexy as it is medically known is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to raise the position of the breast by tightening the surrounding tissue giving a bit more shape and natural support to the bust.

A common question that is asked at consultations with our surgeons is “Do I have enough breast volume to just get a lift, or do I need a lift with implants?”

The answer to this question depends on how you wish your desired result to look. In a breast uplift procedure the volume of your breast should remain unchanged but they may look smaller due to the change in position of the nipple. Only breast skin tissue is removed during an uplift procedure unlike a breast reduction where fat is removed also with the aim to reduce the volume.  The end result of an uplift procedure is a perkier bust but if you are looking for a slight increase in volume as well then a combined Breast Uplift procedure with Breast Implants would be recommended.

Patient Aysha came to see Mr Adrian Richards at The Private Clinic as she felt that her breasts were looking empty after breast feeding her 2 children.

“My breasts were feeling empty due to loosing volume after breastfeeding two children. I also felt my areolas were a little large anyway and combined with the loss in volume I just felt they looked hideous and it really affected my confidence.”

Aysha decided to have a combined Breast Enlargement and Breast Uplift procedure to firstly restore the volume lost during breastfeeding and tighten up the excess skin resulting in a more lifted and fuller appearance.

“Since having the surgery my life now feels amazing. Physically my breasts are fuller and my areolas are smaller but mentally I just feel much more confident in myself and in what I wear.”

Read Aysha’s patient story here.

So essentially, you don’t ‘need’ implants with breast uplift – it is actually more common for patients that want just breast implants to be suggested to combine it with a lift. An ideal candidate for breast uplift is someone who feels their breasts are sagging and requires them to be lifted to a higher position – whether you need implants as well or not is a personal preference which can be discussed with your surgeon.

How long does Blepharoplasty Eye Lift Surgery last ?

December 27, 2017 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

When it comes to cosmetic surgery it is worth noting that nothing lasts forever and even though surgical procedures will last longer than non-surgical treatments there will come a point where the results of surgery are not quite as strong as they once were?

So how long does a Blepharoplasty / Eyebag / Eyelid Surgery last?

We usually say on average you will be able to reap the awards of eyelid surgery for at least 10-15 years but this does all depend on how you naturally age and your genetics.

A blepharoplasty procedure aims to correct hooded or drooping eyelids by removing excess fat and skin from around the eyes. Depending on what is bothering you, you will have either an upper or lower blepharoplasty (eye bag removal) but some patients who have more severe eye problems may feel they need the combined procedure to restore a youthful and refreshed appearance.

The procedure itself is quite straightforward however it takes the skills of an experienced plastic surgeon to use extreme precision along the natural folds of your eyes to prevent scarring and ensure a recovery that is as quick as possible. Which is why in order to get the best, and most long-lasting results choosing the right and most experienced surgeon is vital.

The results of a blepharoplasty procedure can leave you with a more youthful appearance but it is important to remember that there is nothing that can stop your body ageing and over time the results of the procedure can seem less dramatic.

Having said that, overall the results are generally permanent. The fat removed is not able to grow back and any bags under the eyes or sagging above the eye should not return again once the excess skin is removed and tightened.

The vast majority of patients who have a blepharoplasty will not have to go through it again especially if you have gone to a qualified and experienced surgeon and you are realistic about your results.

We often say to patients to consider regular non-surgical treatments to help preserve their results with our range of skin rejuvenation treatments and injectables that we offer in the majority of our clinics including Anti-wrinkle injections, Profhilo and thread lifts.

What is a vaginal reshaping? – Things You Need To Know about Labiaplasty

December 14, 2017 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

When you choose to go ahead with any type of cosmetic surgery it can be one of the most personal and often private decisions that you make. This is especially the case with labiaplasty procedures where many women feel they have no one to talk to as the subject is very personal and private.

Here at The Private Clinic we know that this can be a very sensitive topic for patients and we assure you that you will be treated with the utmost discretion and professionalism.  We have put together a handy guide to help inform you about the procedure that you can read through from the comfort of your own home.

 

 

What is a labiaplasty?

A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the labia. The procedure aims to create a neater and more symmetrical appearance to the inner and outer labia. The labia are not removed in this procedure as they are needed to protect the delicate inner areas.

Why would you need one?

Around a third of women will undergo a labiaplasty for aesthetic reasons as they may feel distressed by the appearance of their own labia. Other reasons for surgery include discomfort whilst putting a tampon in or inflammation and pain during sex or general chafing whilst performing day to day activities.

How long does the procedure take?

Although the surgical procedure for a labiaplasty is quite complex, it is relatively quick usually taking 15 minutes to an hour. The procedure can take place under local anaesthetic is in some cases but is usually performed under general anaesthetic.

What is the recovery and downtime like?

We tend to advise that you book at least 1 week off work but some patients have been known to take up to 3 weeks but this will depend on your job and recovery rate. You will experience swelling and discomfort for the first week at least after your procedure, with these starting to subside after the second week.

You will be able to bathe or shower after the procedure but you must avoid using tampons, exercise and sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks or until the area is fully healed to avoid any potentially complications. You will also need to refrain from driving for at least a week until you get the all-clear from your surgeon.

How much does a labiaplasty cost?

The price for labiaplasty starts from £4,620. We don’t follow a one-price-fits-all policy and prices are quoted on a case by case basis. You will be given an accurate quote for your requirements following your consultation. A labiaplasty consultation with one of our Senior Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons is £50.

What is the difference between labiaplasty and vaginoplasty?

A common misconception is assuming that a labiaplasty is the same as a vaginoplasty. A labiaplasty is a procedure that aims to reduce the size of the labia whereas vaginoplasty usually refers to tightening of the vagina and is not part of a standard labiaplasty procedure.

What are the risks and complications of labiaplasty surgery?

All surgical procedures come with some level or risk and this usually includes inflammation and infection. Your surgeon will discuss in full all the risks and complications that are associated in particular with this type of surgery. The best way to avoid risks and complications is to choose an experienced and qualified surgeon who performs the procedure on a regular basis. Following the pre and post op care will also minimize the risks of complications.

Why choose The Private Clinic for a Labiaplasty?

  • Highly experienced Cosmetic Surgeons who have years of experience in Labiaplasty procedures.
  • As many post-operative care and appointments with your surgeon and nursing team as required.
  • One year cover for all surgical, hospital and nursing care, in case of any medical issue giving you peace of mind.

Facts on Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) Surgery

October 3, 2017 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of the breast tissue inside the breast glands. One or both breasts can be affected and a rubbery or firm mound of tissue that sits behind the nipple is usually felt.

What can cause gynecomastia?
In most cases gynecomastia is caused by an imbalance between testosterone and oestrogen in the body. Oestrogen causes breast tissue to grow and men usually have a larger amount of testosterone in their bodies which stops the breast tissue from growing.

In other gynecomastia cases it may come down to extra body weight causing the larger appearance of the chest – in this circumstance it is important to rule out that it is not Pseudogynecomastia which is fat accumulation in the chest.

Puberty is another cause of gynecomastia as this is a time where hormone levels can vary. If this is the cause it is likely that as the boy reaches adulthood the hormone levels become more stable and the chest size will decrease.

Opposite to puberty, gynecomastia can also be caused by ageing. As men get older they produce less testosterone and this change in hormone levels again cause breast tissue growth.

In some rare cases gynecomastia can be caused by certain medications, illegal drugs, excessive alcohol and health abnormalities.

What can be done about Gynecomastia?
If you are worried about breast tissue growth then it may be worth visiting your GP who can go through your health and medication history and initially rule out any underlying causes. You may be given medication to adjust your hormone imbalance.

Here at The Private Clinic we have a variety of different surgical options for male chest reduction;

Micro Liposuction – Micro liposuction is a great treatment for smaller cases of gynecomastia. It uses a smaller cannula to remove the fat and is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation if required.

Vaser Liposuction – Vaser liposuction is a walk-in walk-out procedure that is ideal for the standard case of gynecomastia and is very effective at male chest reduction. The procedure again is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation if required. If you prefer a more athletic appearance then we also offer VASER High Definition which is great at creating a more sculpted chest.

Surgical Liposuction – If you have a larger amount of fat to be removed then you will most likely be offered surgical liposuction. This is performed under local anaesthetic and may require a hospital stay.

How much is liposuction for male breast reduction?
Male chest reduction starts from £5,350 but this will vary depending on the type of procedure being performed.

During a consultation with your surgeon they will be able to assess your suitability for treatment and give you a more accurate quote.
