1. The no-needle tweakments
THE 20-MINUTE FACELIFT
There’s serious hype in Hollywood about EmFace, a treatment that combines radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation, emitted by electrode pads, to exercise facial muscles, tighten skin and address the loss of volume in the face at the same time. Irina Shayk and Rebel Wilson are fans, and now it’s finally landed on home soil.
With zero pain, just a bit of involuntary twitching, and no downtime you can be in and out in as little as 20 minutes it’s ideal for those who balk at the idea of Botox. Four sessions, one week apart, are recommended for best results. From £3,000 for four sessions at Dr Rita Rakus Clinic, London SW3. Also available at DR Medispa, London W1, and S-Thetics, Beaconsfield
THE SUN-DAMAGE SAVIOUR
Desperate to sort sunspots and pigmentation? NanoFirm has landed from South Korea, where sun protection is a national pastime. Combining laser, ultrasound, and galvanic energy, it stimulates skin cells to produce collagen and elastin, to improve skin tone and texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. A laser sounds scary, but the fact that you can be in and out in your lunch break, with any redness subsiding within an hour, says it all. Three treatments, two weeks apart, are recommended. £490 a session or £1,250 for a course of three at Dr David Jack Clinic, London W1
