The crease between the lower lip and the chin and the crepey, dimpled skin over the chin are treated with the Precise applicator. The manufacturer describes this smaller handpiece as made for the challenging areas around the eyes, mouth and chin. It carries the Lift applicator's clearances and has no study of its own, which we say plainly. It heats the dermis of the chin with the surface cooled, so the skin contracts and builds collagen over three months. One session, from £799 as part of the face, at Sofwave Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the chin
The crease looks shallower and the skin over the chin smoother as the dermis rebuilds. A crease made by the chin muscle keeps forming with the muscle, and a chin that has lost projection is a volume question; the clinician says at the free consultation which fits. The area under the chin is a separate area with its own clearance, on the under the chin page.
What the evidence covers
The Precise applicator carries the Lift applicator's clearances, to improve facial lines and wrinkles, and no study measures the chin alone. The full-face page sets out the face studies.
The session and the result
Numbing cream for 45 to 60 minutes, then about 10 minutes for the chin within a face session; redness for a few hours and mild swelling up to a day, with work and makeup fine the same day. The change shows from six to eight weeks and peaks at three months, when we take the after photograph, and in our experience it holds for around a year.
