How to tighten, lift and rejuvenate facial skin naturally and safely
Facial skin ageing and skin laxity
Facial skin looseness is quite common after weight loss or simply as the result of normal ageing, especially in people with genetically thinner/looser skin.
Facial skin ageing can be the result of smoking, drinking, unhealthy nutrition, stress or simply as the result of normal ageing.
There are many treatments suggested for non-surgical facial skin tightening and facial skin rejuvenation, the vast majority of which either have a very light or very superficial action, and thereby do not work, or they have a high rate of adverse reactions.
Fillers attempt to “correct” skin ageing / laxity by filling up the skin from inside but they quite often result in adverse reactions and even more often they result in a ‘fake’, artificial look. On the other hand, botox injections attempt to “correct” skin ageing by relaxing facial muscles, which in turn reduces wrinkle depth.
However, none of those techniques correct the thinness and the laxity/weakness of the skin itself, especially that of the dermis, the skin’s middle layer, where the majority of fibroblasts (collagen and elastin producing cells) is found.
RF microneedling and HIFU attempt to harden (not tighten) the facial structures by burning the skin inside, including the SMAS*, at 60-90ºC and producing scar tissue-like collagen. If they are too light they produce no results; if they are too strong they can produce horrible adverse reactions (check the links above for examples); and if they are ‘just right’ they are simply no better than safer and better techniques such high-power radiofrequency.
(* Due to ignorance of basic facial anatomy, many RF microneedling and HIFU practitioners think it is a good idea to target the SMAS for deep skin tightening. However, the SMAS is enveloped by layers of facial fat and it is impossible to pinpoint it without affecting facial fat compartments and targeting it with HIFU and RF microneedling quite often leads to the loss of facial fat (again, check the links above for examples). To ensure maximum safety and effectiveness, we do not target the SMAS and focus solely on the dermis.)
The most effective SAFE technology to tighten and lift skin is high-power radiofrequency: deep acting radiofrequency for the body and medium-deep acting radiofrequency for the face.
High-power radiofrequency is well researched for its stimulation of:
new collagen and elastin synthesis
existing collagen contraction
blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
overall tissue metabolism
…for an overall tightening, lifting** and rejuvenating effect on the face (or anywhere else on the body).
(** Skin tightening and skin lifting are two different phrases that refer to the exact same process: skin lifting occurs as a result of skin tightening and skin tightening always results in skin lifting. When skin tightens it better resists the force of gravity, thereby leading to skin lifting. Of course, the ultimate skin lifting occurs with a surgical face lift but not many people want to undergo surgery, especially when skin laxity is not extreme. Hence the need to effective and safe non-surgical skin tightening/lifting treatments.)
Indeed, if provided by an experienced, well trained therapist, proper high-power radiofrequency is not just very effective but also has an excellent safety record (99.5%+ at our clinic).
Another effective and extremely safe technology, high-power phototherapy, in the red and infrared wavelengths, is well known and well-researched for its anti-ageing, skin healing and rejuvenating effects, as long as it is applied at the right intensity and right frequencies.
Furthermore, if provided right after radiofrequency, red and infrared light therapy helps maximise the effects of radiofrequency, by stimulating energy production in the cells’ mitochondria and therefore improved results from the radiofrequency treatment - in addition to its own effects on the skin.
The combination of high-power, medium-deep radiofrequency and high-power red and infrared light therapy comprises an effective, safe and pleasant treatment that addresses skin laxity and skin ageing with almost no adverse reactions and in a relaxing way.
The result it tighter, more lifted, younger-looking skin naturally, with an overall comfortable, relaxing treatment.

Advanced facial skin tightening and anti-ageing treatments, at LipoTherapeia (London)
Our Radiofrequency/Phototherapy Facial treatments are based on LipoTherapeia® Plus, the strongest SAFE skin tightening treatment available today, skilfully applied without compromises or cut corners, for maximum results, naturally.
LipoTherapeia® Plus comprises 4 exclusive elements:
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, the most effective SAFE skin tightening technology, with the best equipment currently available
High-power LED phototherapy, to maximise and enhance the effects of our high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and ultrasound, with the best equipment currently available
Advanced treatment protocols, based on actual Physics and the Anatomy & Physiology of skin tightening, in order to make the most of these technologies (this is in contrast to the usual one-day training on some basics of how to use the machine, which is the norm at almost all salons and clinics that offer skin tightening treatments - including cosmetic surgery practises)
Two decades of experience, study and research in skin tightening, with more than 23,000+ treatments and 4,100+ cases (including 14+ years and 13,000+ high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and cavitation treatments)
A PAINLESS, realistically priced and effective technology, LipoTherapeia® Plus has a 99.5%+ safety rate at our clinic, as it is based on naturally stimulating collagen and elastin production, collagen contraction and circulation/lymphatic drainage - not on burning the skin inside, as some procedures mentioned above aim.
In addition to skin tightening and lifting, the technologies comprising LipoTherapeia® Plus also have a profound effect on overall skin quality as well as a beneficial effect on acne and pore size / skin pore tightening. So you get a combined benefit by the use of these technologies.
In most cases of skin laxity we recommend 6-12 sessions for best results (there are no miracle treatments that tighten skin in 1-4 sessions).
(Please note: Our Radiofrequency/Phototherapy Facial does not replace face lift surgery, it is not an acne treatment per se and cannot be used on facial areas with fillers, botox or severe acne.)
A deeply relaxing facial but with the added benefits of deep tissue radiofrequency and high-power red/infrared light therapy
The Radiofrequency/Phototherapy Facial at LipoTherapeia is ideal for the whole face (from underchin to forehead) and can be received:
As a course of 12x weekly sessions, for an intensive anti-ageing / non-surgical face lifting effect after 12 weeks
As a regular facial (weekly, monthly, bimonthly) to maintain skin tightness and youthful appearance, by focusing on skin tightening, lifting and anti-ageing, as opposed to the usual facials that only focus on exfoliating and applying pointless short-acting serums and massaging
As an occasional treat before an important event or a holiday
What to expect on your first treatment:
Accurate assessment, based on experience with thousands of cases
Consultation and advice based on science, honesty and integrity
Advanced, super-intensive, super-safe treatment, based on the best machines in the world, and exclusive treatment protocols to make the most of these machines, based on science and more than two decades of experience
After the assessment and consultation your therapist will decide on the protocol of your radiofrequency / light therapy treatment. This may be updated during your course of treatment.
During treatment a special product medium will be applied and the equipment handpiece will continuously be glided over the treatment area.
With radiofrequency you will just feel intense heat - but never any burning or pain
With phototherapy you may feel some very mild heat and you will experience very bright light, with your eyes being protected by special, certified glasses or goggles
After the end of your radiofrequency/phototherapy treatment your therapist will offer you a soothing deep tissue facial massage, to relax all facial tension and further boost circulation
You will leave the room with your skin - and your mind - looking and feeling fresher, relaxed and rejuvenated
And that’s it. No injections, no downtime, no anaesthetic creams, no microneedling, no bruises, NO PAIN, no drama. And 99.5%+ safety, with only minor/temporary irritation in 0.5%- of cases.
And, of course, friendly, polite, caring, professional contact with a smile, throughout your course of treatments

The only aesthetic practice in London that specialises 100% in skin tightening & cellulite removal
Most aesthetic clinics offer 20, 30, even 50 different treatments, from laser hair removal to fillers to chemical peels to skin tightening and cellulite, and thereby lose specialisation and expertise.
A jack of all trades therapist or clinic cannot possibly be experts in 20, 30 or 50 different treatments. It is physically impossible to follow the science and all the latest developments in 50, 30 or even 20 fields.
And it is impossible to be an expert in an aesthetic condition, if you never study and practise with focus and depth the science of that aesthetic condition.
So at LipoTherapeia we only focus 100% on skin tightening and cellulite reduction - nothing else.
We do not do botox, fillers, chemical peels, dermablading, microdermabrasion, waxing, nails, fluffy facials, laser hair removal and the like: just skin tightening and cellulite reduction with the best ultrasound, radiofrequency and LED phototherapy technologies in the world (no exaggeration).
