Non invasive treatments for Face and Neck
A combination of energy treatments and injectables is likely to achieve a superior result, compared to using only one modality.
For example, if your aim is jawline definition, possible combination could be LemonBottle fat dissolving, followed by HIFU energy treatment for skin tightening purposes, followed by a dermal filler for further definition. And possibly masseter muscle relaxing injections. Another energy treatment could be Microneedling Fractional Radiofrequency if HIFU is not appropriate.
Another example is under the eye area. Possible combination of modalities could be radiofrequency energy treatments and Lumi Eyes skin booster to achieve natural rejuvenation of the area.
For deeply set frown lines between the brows, modalities that can be used are neuromodulating toxin to relax the muscles and microneedling to start filling out the lines.
Our highly qualified and experienced aesthetic practitioners will select and discuss most appropriate options for your individual case.
