As you get older your skin starts to produce less collagen and elastin, which is when it begins to show visible signs of ageing.

Radiofrequency skin tightening using the 3DEEP device is the state of the art technology in non-surgical skin rejuvenation.

This treatment is suitable for both men and women who desire a natural lifting with a treatment which is painless and allows them to continue normal work or social activities.  It is designed to penetrate deep into the skin to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production for a significantly smoother and tighter appearance.  A non-surgical procedure, it is quickly growing in popularity because it’s often a more appropriate treatment option than Botox or Dermal Fillers.

What is the Endymed tightening treatment process?

Using a specially-designed EndyMed’s 3DEEP® RF Facial Tightening handpiece and gel, the nurse will move the instrument across your skin in a uniform circular motion to deliver short pulses of electrical energy which stimulate the skin.

As the handpiece moves, the focused heat will penetrate your skin causing it to warm up – similar to the way it does after a hot shower or bath. This slight reddening effect will encourage the collagen to contract, tighten and lift the skin.

Devised by dermatology and radio frequency experts, EndyMed delivers clinically-proven effective treatments across many different areas of the body – shaping and contouring areas affected by skin sagging or cellulite.

It is particularly effective on delicate, sensitive and hard to treat areas such as the eyes, mouth and décolletage.

Usually, the complete treatment takes between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

How does Endymed skin tightening work?

As our skin ages, the collagen fibres it contains break down to become less structured and more elasticated. Unfortunately, our bodies also become less efficient at repairing and replacing these fibres.

Endymed non-surgical skin tightening uses electromagnetic energy to penetrate deep into the skin, heating it up to encourage natural collagen cells to be produced, contract and tighten.

In the long term, stimulating our collagen cells with radio frequency waves improves our underlying skin structure for a firmer, tauter and healthier-looking appearance.

EndyMed Skin Tightening Treatment FAQs

+ What areas can Endymed treat?

Face and neck Décolletage Arms and knees

+ What is radio frequency technology?

Radiofrequency is used by leading physicians around the world for multiple medical and aesthetic uses. This technology allows gentle warming of the deeper layers of skin. A natural warming effect is achieved by rapidly moving water molecules in the skin. This warming effect causes the skin’s own cells to produce new and healthier collagen and elastin fibers.

+ Is 3Deep safe?

Absolutely, 3DEEP technology is RF based, which enables achieving results with the highest level of safety and comfort. You will be able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. 3DEEP is more than clinically tested, it is medically proven.

+ How many treatments will be required?

At Laserase, we recommend a minimum of six treatments over the course of 12 weeks for skin tightening, the first four treatments are weekly, treatments five and six should be approximately two weeks apart. In our experience, it’s important to commit to your bespoke treatment programme because it’s designed to provide you with the optimum long-term results. If you have a special occasion on the horizon, combine with the ZO Stimulator Peel to ensure your skin looks its best for your big event.

+ When will I see the results?

The results are apparent a few days after the first treatment as the contraction of the skin’s collagen results in an instant lift. Although this is a short-term result, repeat treatments will transform this effect into a long-lasting response, as more and more new collagen is produced. It usually takes around three months before the optimum results are seen, following a full course of recommended treatments.

+ How much is the treatment?

EndyMed Tighten prices start from £135 per treatment but an accurate fixed-price quote can be provided after assessment at an initial consultation. All fees include:

  • Preliminary appointment and medical consultation
  • Follow-up appointment and review (if necessary)
  • Out of hours support

+ Is it painful?

EndyMed Skin Tightening usually achieves natural, long-lasting results without any pain. Most patients do not need any recovery time either. For skin tightening, the heat you experience is comparable to a hot stone massage or very hot shower, so you should find the process comfortable and relaxing.

+ Are there any side effects?

Immediately after treatment, you may experience some skin redness which could last 24-48 hours.

+ Who is Endymed not suitable for?

As well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, this treatment is not suitable for people with: • Skin diseases • Skin infections • Epilepsy • Pacemaker • Metal implants • Dental implants • Metal braces If any of the above apply to you, our nurse practitioners can offer a wide range of other non-surgical facelift treatments which may be more suitable.

+ Will I need any specialist aftercare?

Due to the non-surgical nature of the procedure, there is no need for specialist creams and you can continue with your regular skincare regime. Applying a sun lotion with high UV protection can reduce the long-term effects of photo-ageing. An anti-ageing skincare regime which complements your skin type could also enhance the results Endymed achieves. As part of your bespoke treatment plan, our nurse practitioner will advise you about the aftercare best suited to your skin and procedure.
