The one to have if you don’t want Botox: EMFACE at Young LDN

 (EMFACE)

Botox isn’t for everyone — for a multitude of reasons — so perhaps EMFACE could be a happy halfway house if you feel like you want some heavier duty assistance in banishing signs of ageing. Non-invasive but noticeably tightening and firming, it’s one of the most in-demand treatments in the capital. It works to lift and improve muscle tone by using radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation via pads that are strategically places on cheekbones and the forehead. It’s intense, a touch umcomfortable but never painful. Results (and the compliments from friends, colleagues and passersby) are immediate but, pleasingly, continue to improve from three months after the final treatment. The facial that keeps on giving.

One-off EMFACE session for 35 minutes (£575), One -off session
