From lifting without fillers to skin rejuvenation, the FQ team are taking the latest beauty treatments for a spin to see if they deliver on that elusive lift and glow.

In the never-ending quest for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin, the FQ team have become intrepid beauty editors of late to research some of the season’s most intriguing beauty treatments. With a range of choices from minimal to more intense, our line-up promises something for everyone seeking a refreshed look. Whether you’re after a non-surgical lift, a deep refresh, or even something unexpected, these treatments offer a way to hit the reset button — and may be just what you’ve been looking for.

Profhilo Structura

What it is

This unique treatment lifts without adding volume. During your session, the practitioner will determine if you’re more of a “sinker” (thin skin, lacking density) or a “sagger” (thicker skin, with heaviness towards the lower face). Profhilo Structura targets adipose tissue to restore facial structure while enhancing collagen, elastin, and fat cells in the superficial layer of the face.

Last thoughts

A little sore but fast. This is ideal for a non-surgical subtle lift that lets you skip the fillers (and surgery!).

Moxi & BBL

What it is

The Moxi fractional laser treatment rejuvenates skin, tackling sun damage, age spots, fine lines, and uneven tone. Paired with BBL, an intense pulsed light therapy that targets pigmentation, redness, and acne, this duo works wonders. Together, they enhance results and boost collagen and elastin, improving texture and tone.

Last thoughts

A great choice for those looking to rejuvenate and even out skin tone, especially for a post- summer glow reset.
