Real Housewives of Cheshire Lauren Simon undergoes non-invasive facelift and feels great

'The Real Housewives of Cheshire' star Lauren Simon has undergone a non-invasive facelift in order to get rid of of her "double chin, eye bags and old neck".

The 45-year-old reality TV star decided to get the anti-ageing treatments following her divorce from her ex-husband, property investor Paul Simon, to rejuvenate her appearance.

Lauren visited Dr Judy Todd at the Re-Enhance Clinic in Hale, which is run by Dr Martin Kinsella, and had a combined therapy of FaceTite radio-frequency (RF) assisted liposuction contouring and Morpheus8 RF micro-needling skin resurfacing.

Lauren - who used the dame doctor, Todd, that 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Judy Murray opted for earlier this year - is delighted with the results which have "taken years" off her.

She said: "In the last couple of years I could see a big double chin on every picture taken of me and it was really starting to bother me. You could really see it, especially from the sides.

"I also had jowls, my skin was looking dull, and I felt I was really ageing on my neck. It’s sagging slightly which is causing the double chin.

I just feel my neck needed lifting because I’m looking closer to 50 than 40 and also underneath my eyes, they looked bit tired, and needed to be refreshed.

“I just felt like I needed a little tweak, but I didn’t want a full face lift. I’ve had FaceTite which burns away the fat in your neck and gives you a tighter jawline, and I also had Ellevate underneath that is a thread under your jaw which basically lifts and tightens everything, which also emphasises your jawline. After that I had Morpheus8 which rejuvenates the skin surface and gives you a more youthful look, a nice dewy fresh face look, so I no longer look tired.

“I’m really happy with the result I think it’s taken years off me, and it’s rejuvenated my skin and I wake up in the morning and I haven’t got big bags under my eyes.”

Dr Todd is one of the leading aesthetic doctors in the UK and is based at Clinica Medica in Glasgow but also practices from clinics in London and Cheshire. She is a specialist aesthetic doctor with years of experience as well as a consultant anaesthetist with many years of NHS hospital experience. She specialises in the latest non-surgical technology and achieves amazing anti-ageing results, with very little downtime.

Dr Todd opted for a combined treatment of FaceTite and NeckTite followed by Morpheu8 micro-needling and Ellevate Neck Defining Suture. This combined therapy has been called Embrace RF in the USA.

All three treatments were conducted at the clinic on the same day and the total treatment time was just a little over two hours. Lauren was conscious the whole time and only needed local anaesthesia.

There are no scars, no pain, and down-time is just a few days, which is much less than a surgical facelift, which can be up to three weeks. Lauren said: “I had the treatments on Friday afternoon, and I was able to go out with friends for Sunday lunch at a pub, I had to wear a compression stocking for a couple of days and that was it. The effects could be seen after a couple of weeks and by a month later you could really see the difference.”

Post treatment, Lauren was given G Herbal Body and Skin supplements to help speed the repair and rejuvenate the skin. The natural Balinese supplements contain high concentrations of anti-inflammatories including Centella Asiatica and anti-oxidant Javanese Turmeric both of which reduce swelling and down-time, and maximise the effects from treatments. The Skin supplement also contains anti-bacterial compounds that reduce potential break-outs and redness.

Treatment prices for Morpheus8 start at £1,500 and FaceTite £3,500.
