Ultherapy
There are many ultrasound devices out there but they are essentially divided into the superficial ones that may give some immediate lifting benefits but less long term benefits and the deep ones that excel in really changing the way the skin ages in the long run. Ultherapy falls into the latter as it uses microfocused ultrasound that can target the deep layers of the skin to activate skin contraction and lifting. Because of its deep reaching effects, it continues to improve the shape and lift of your face for 3 months and results maintaining for a year after.
Why you should invest: Tighter skin, more sculpted jawline, diminishing double chin— these are the benefits that ultherapy will confer.

Nefertiti Lift
Much overlooked by many, the Nefertiti Lift is a special technique of using Botox microinjections to relax the downward pull of platysmal neck bands which reside at the base of your jawline and neck. By doing so, your neck will look younger and slimmer (like the queen Nefertiti, hence its name). Secondly, relaxing this pull means that the lower jawline will be left lifted and more defined. As we age, we are frequently competing with the passage of time and gravitational forces, over which we have no control. By reducing the downward pull of our neck and jawline muscles, we can over time ensure that our face not only looks lifted, we can also influence how our lower jawline sags with age.
Why you should invest: A slender neck, more defined and lifted jawline—- that’s why everyone loves Nefertiti Lift.
