This month in my Evening Standard Column, where I am the resident cosmetic medical expert, I discussed treatments for facial sagging.

A large number of patients who visit my Moorgate Clinic do so to improve the “pulled down” look of their face and jowls or their neck sagging.

Over time, as gravity and collagen loss take their toll, the skin's underlying structure descends leaving dropping undesired jowls, a saggy neck and a less taught appearance of the skin. Often my female patients will report that they have noticed this “drop” of the face happened at an accelerated level around the time of menopause and this is attributed to a sharp decline in the amount of oestrogen which is inherently linked to collagen production. 

I am well known as a “Anti-wrinkle injection Doctor” performing thousands of Anti-wrinkle injection treatments per year at my London Cosmetic Clinic, I do also spend a large percentage of my time now specialising in non-surgical facelift treatments for the face and neck. As one of the UK experts in Silhouette Soft Thread Lifts I have performed more thread lift treatments than most UK doctors this year, I presented at the National Conference for Silhouette Soft in June and attended the international World Expert meeting for Silhouette Soft thread lift in Barcelona in October. I have had fantastic results with patients travelling from as far as South America to undergo this non surgical facelift treatment at my London clinic.

Silhouette Soft Thread Lift, also known as the “one stitch lift” or ‘puppet lift’ takes approximately 1 hour to perform, with local anaesthetic and gives minimal downtime and subtle but impressive lifting results. Treatment is also suitable to lift brows and neck. Results last approximately 18 months. The standard number of threads needed for face is 4 threads at a cost of £1520. 

At Dr Leah Clinic we believe that subtle natural looking results are key with little or no downtime are the key.

Shirley's Story

One of the patients I treated recently is Shirley (67), a mother of five, who had a silhouette soft thread lift procedure done by myself  recently for her daughter’s wedding what she thought about the treatment and the results.

  “I could see the lifting results immediately! My face felt tighter, and slightly tender for the next couple of days, but not painful”

 “I didn’t tell my daughter I had had the treatment, but on the day of the wedding she kept saying ‘”Wow mum, you look amazing!’ My niece who hasn’t seen me in several years commented that she ‘hoped to look as well as I do when she is my age, as I never seem to look any older!’”

“I am very happy with my Silhouette Soft treatment. I knew I could trust Dr Leah to do a great job; she’s brilliant! I feel really good about myself at the minute, I look forward to enjoying the new lease of life my refreshed image has given me."

If you are wanting to leave your make up bag behind and bare all with glowing skin this summer then I recommend the award winning Dr Leah Bespoke Facial. The Dr Leah Bespoke facial uses a combination of innovative technologies to brighten, firm and rehydrate your skin. A routine facial should be part of everyone’s skin care management. Dependant on what your skin care goals and needs actually are will depend on the type of facial you should choose and how regularly you should have them.  

You may not realise but the skin is the largest organ in the human body and has a daily battle against environmental factors such as pollution, UV and weather not to mention hormones that weaken our skins ability to protect us. Lifestyle choices we make such as smoking, diet, make-up and incorrect product use all have a negative impact on the appearance of your skin.

So what can you do to get the most out of your skin and restore its natural glow? Ensure to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise and protect with SPF daily. Look out for ingredients such as Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid and Papaya which will keep your skin fresh and of course follow that healthy life style.

Here at Dr Leah’s Cosmetic Skin Clinics London we are here to help, we offer a free skin analysis during which our experienced skin specialists will consult, scan and assess your skin needs. We will then design a bespoke treatment and home care plan and educate you on skin health. We will work with you to achieve smooth, healthy, flawless skin.

Investing in your skin now will not only give you instant results but long term benefits and remember prevention is always better than cure.
