The temples, the thin skin beside the outer eye that supports the tail of the brow, were treated with the forehead as the first zone in the 80-patient study behind the brow clearance. No clearance names them on their own, which we say plainly. The Lift applicator heats the dermis of the temple about 1.5 mm below the surface with the surface cooled, so the skin contracts and builds collagen over three months, and the outer brow and the crow's feet beside it tighten. 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 at the temples
In our experience, tightening the temple lifts the tail of the brow and softens the lines that fan from the outer eye. A hollow temple is a volume question, which the ultrasound does not change, and the clinician says so at the free consultation. Because the heat stays in the dermis, the manufacturer states it does not cause fat loss.
What the study covered
Eighty patients were treated twice on the forehead and temples, the cheeks, and under the chin and the neck. At the brow, the measured endpoint, blinded reviewers picked the after photograph correctly in 79% of cases and the treating physicians rated 80% as improved. The brow page sets it out.
The session and the result
Numbing cream for 45 to 60 minutes, then about 10 minutes for both temples 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.
