I’m 62 but people think I look 40 after I had the same non-surgical face lift as Karren Brady

A woman who had a non-surgical ‘lunch hour’ face lift has revealed how she ‘cried with happiness’ after seeing the results.

Quraisha, 62, from Kensington, London, was conscious of her sagging jawline and drooping eyelids.

After researching, she began to look for treatments to restore her confidence and decided on the EndoliftX, a treatment popular with celebrities including Baroness Karren Brady.

The non-invasive process uses a laser-emitting wire to tighten the skin – promising collagen regeneration with a 95 per cent success rate in skin tightening.

‘I considered having Endolift after doing some research for a treatment which would help me feel more like myself again after I felt like I had aged drastically,’  Quraisha told Femail.

‘I saw some amazing before and after photos of people who used the treatment and decided to just go for it.’

The £1,500 EndoliftX treatment does not require a traditional surgery and produces results which can last for up to five years.

Quraisha underwent the procedure four years ago and says it ‘completely changed her life’. 

‘It was so simple. You don’t feel anything at all and it only took around half an hour,’ she said.

‘When I looked in the mirror afterwards I was so impressed, I cried with happiness. The results were immediate.

‘And it just got better and better as the months passed. 

‘After six months, I couldn’t believe it. 

‘The results were great.

‘To this day, my jawline is still very chiselled, I don’t have a double chin.

‘People think I’m 40 years old. They say: “Every time I see you, you look younger”‘.

The television personality wanted to expel her ‘dreaded jowls’ and address the lower part of her face, which had started to ‘drag’.

And not only is she ‘delighted’ with the results, but less than 24 hours later, Karren went out for lunch. 

‘I was home straight after the treatment, and went out for lunch the next day, no bruising and just slight swelling that went down really quickly,’ she said. 

The minimally invasive procedure employs a unique laser fibre, thinner than a strand of hair, to tighten, lift and add definition to the skin – treating various signs of ageing across the whole body, including the lower face and neck. 

Karren made the decision to undergo a EndoliftX procedure after she noticed signs of ageing on jaw and neck. 

‘As a woman of a certain age, I noticed the lower part of my face was starting to sag and I was starting to get the dreaded jowls people talk about,’ she said.

‘That was really my main concern when I went to see Dr Rakus and she recommended EndoliftX.

‘Before having the treatment I feared it would be quite invasive, but it’s not at all. I was home straight after the treatment, and went out for lunch the next day, no bruising and just slight swelling that went down really quickly.

‘The most unexpected part of the treatment was that it didn’t hurt, it didn’t take very long, there wasn’t any downtime, and it gave the sort of result that you’d usually only get by going in to have proper surgery. 

‘Just a few weeks post treatment and I feel great and I am really delighted with my results.’

Dr Rita Rakus explained: ‘The results are both immediate and long-term, with the area continuing to improve for several months following the ENDOLIFTX® procedure as additional collagen builds in the deep layers of the skin over time. 

‘The procedure lasts for under an hour, and the patient can usually return to their daily activities almost immediately with instantly tighter and lifted skin. 

‘The results improve over the following nine months and last up to five years.’

Dr Luke Simmonds, Aesthetic Doctor at Nova Aesthetic Clinic explained the process in further detail.

‘We inject a local anaesthetic into the area of skin being treated, and most people report feeling nothing during the laser treatment itself, and it has much less downtime than the surgical alternative,’ he said. 

Luke added: ‘Of course, with any procedure like this, there is some minor swelling and flushing, but usually this is very tolerable and lasts around 48 hours; however this depends on the individual’s skin type and condition and patients can resume their daily activity immediately.

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK? 

 

‘EndoliftX is the closest non-surgical alternative to a surgical face-lift and liposuction. 

It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser fibre that is thinner than a strand of hair to tighten, lift, and add definition back to the skin. 

It can be used to both tighten the skin whilst simultaneously addressing excess fat whether that be on the chin or jowls to contour the jawline, or on the arms to rid bingo wings. 

Inserted within the skin into the deep dermis, laser energy is applied through the wire, delivering heat into the skin which then responds by remodelling and boosting collagen production, without causing any damage to the outside skin.

‘ Patients begin to see improvements to their skin from around four weeks after treatment, but the settled results take between three and six months to show, with some people’s results continuing to improve for up to 12 months. 

‘We often recommend checking in every 12 months to see if you require a repeat session, but I have some patients who can go two to three years maintaining their results from just a single session.’

While EndoliftX is an FDA-approved procedure, it is crucial to ensure that the original EndoliftX device is used. 

Instances of counterfeit devices branded similarly to EndoliftX have been reported, and these have caused severe medical complications.
