All right
2
so many questions about how to tighten your skin we are
3
going to do a long video just breaking down the options
4
that are out there
5
so what we're talking about here are skin tightening devices some
6
of them tighten not just your skin some actually go deeper
7
and tighten your smasks and even tighten muscle
8
and they do for the most part lead to the increased
9
production of collagen making more collagen the problem is is depending
10
on you how much collagen you make how good your skin is at responding, the results with all of these devices can be unpredictable and that can be quite frustrating for individuals.
11
So let's break it down device by device.
12
Devices on the market that are considered skin tightening are Ultherapy, Thermage, Softwave, Exilis, and Emphase.
13
So starting with Ultherapy.
14
Ultherapy is micro-focused ultrasound.
15
It targets the dermis, so that's the second layer of your skin as well as the smaz.
16
It can penetrate quite deep into the skin and because of
17
that it can be really painful and there are rare case reports of dividine
18
or indentations that can be developed because it actually is destroying fat from the deep heat.
19
It's very painful because it penetrates so deeply
20
and typically people get topical numbing as well as pain medication orally when they have the treatment.
21
What's great about it is it's usually a one and done treatment, meaning you don't have to do a series.
22
People, if they get a nice result, might do it once a year to sort of lift and maintain a raised forehead, eyebrows.
23
What it's known for is lifting.
24
This is not going to help with fine lines, wrinkles, crepiness.
25
This is more of a lifting device to build collagen and really tighten things up.
26
It is not like a brow lift, but it does, and the individuals that respond well to it, does do a nice lifting.
27
The biggest complaint I get about it is that it hurts a lot and that the results are unpredictable.
28
Thermage is another option.
29
This is monopolar radiofrequency.
30
It only affects the dermis of the skin
31
and it is less painful than Ultherapy but when it works well it doesn't work as well as Ultherapy.
32
It oftentimes needs to be done multiple times.
33
You might do it every three to six months.
34
You might do it once a year.
35
What's lovely about it is it does have multiple hand pieces so it can be done on your body.
36
It can be done around your eyes.
37
It can be done on your full face.
38
It is time consuming but is not as painful as Ultherapy.
39
One of the newer kids on the block is Softwave.
40
This is high frequency focused ultrasound and it's in these parallel beams.
41
I've experienced it and for me it hurts more than Thermage
42
but less than L-therapy and it is going to build collagen in your dermis similar to Thermage.
43
I think the results with it are better than Thermage.
44
I think it hurts more than Thermage.
45
It is one of these things where people sometimes do one, they sometimes do three to really maximize their results.
46
It's a relatively quick treatment.
47
It doesn't take as long as Thermage, but it is uncomfortable.
48
Exilis is probably the most tolerable of the treatment options, but you have to do it in a series and you have to do it in a series of at least four.
49
It combines radio frequency with ultrasound and it's a wand that can really be done anywhere.
50
You can do it around your eyes, on your lips, on your face, on your neck and it does build collagen
51
but building collagen doesn't necessarily lead to a visible lifting
52
and tightening and I would say that that is sort of the complaint
53
of axillus of thermage and even soft wave if you really want
54
that lifting all therapy and M-phase are the two
55
that they're going to really get
56
that for you lastly another new one on the market is M-phase M-phase is different than the others
57
because not only does it have radiofrequency it also has high intensity focused electrostimulation
58
so they're going after your dermis by heating it
59
but they're also going after your muscle and building muscle by actually stimulating your muscles to contract
60
So what's nice about M-Face is that you see the muscle building results faster.
61
The collagen building for all of these takes at least three months.
62
The downside of M-Face doesn't hurt very much, but it is like Excellus in regards that you need to do at least a series of four.
63
There is a maintenance component where you might do your series of four
64
and then do it every sort of four to six months to maintain that muscle mass that you've built with the M-FACE, as well as continuing to build collagen.
65
Of the options out there, M-FACE is probably the most expensive and then Ultherapy.
66
And of the options out there, I think those are the two that are going to get you the best results, although the results, as I've already said, are unpredictable.
67
I find M-FACE the least unpredictable.
68
And what they showed in the study is when people do a series of four of M-Face,
69
they will see an increased lift in their cheeks with a building of their cheeks about one
70
and a half cc's per side, and then a decrease in their jowl by one cc per side.
71
And that's a pretty nice improvement.
72
They are able to lift your eyebrows, able to lift your cheeks, and they have a newer attachment that works on the fat underneath your chin.
73
All of these technologies don't have any downtime, meaning you can have them and immediately go out to dinner
74
or go back to work and you are not going to have changes to the top layers of your skin, except for your skin might look a little flushed.
75
Your results for them really comes down to your skin
76
and your ability to build collagen some of us are just not very good at
77
that it doesn't mean that you shouldn't do the treatment just know
78
that you're not going to get as good a result as
79
a 25 year old with big thick skin really able to
80
build collagen I'm a fan of them I feel like they're some of the safer options
81
that are out there I do M-Face on myself twice a year
82
and it really comes down to are you okay spending a lot of money for a subtle result
83
but the nice thing is they don't have significant risk profiles.
84
That doesn't mean that nothing can go wrong but things rarely go wrong
85
when you see a capable provider and they are typically safe for all skin types.

Perché praticare parlando con questo video?

La pratica di conversazione in inglese è fondamentale per migliorare le proprie abilità linguistiche. Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per ascoltare un esperto che discute di vari trattamenti di sollevamento cutaneo, approfondendo dettagli tecnici e terminologie specifiche. Attraverso la ripetizione delle frasi chiave e delle espressioni usate, gli studenti possono affinare la loro capacità di parlare fluentemente. Inoltre, assistere a discussioni pratiche su argomenti reali aumenta la fiducia nel parlato e consente di affrontare conversazioni quotidiane con maggiore sicurezza.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Nel video, l'oratore utilizza diverse strutture grammaticali che sono essenziali per chi desidera migliorare in inglese. Ecco alcune delle principali:

  • Frasi condizionali: L'uso di “If” per descrivere situazioni ipotetiche è presente, come ad esempio “If they get a nice result, might do it once a year.” Queste strutture aiutano a formulare pensieri complessi e condizioni.
  • Descrittori comparativi: Frasi come “less painful than Ultherapy” permettono di esprimere differenze e comparazioni. Queste sono utili per arricchire il vocabolario descriptive.
  • Verbi modali: L’utilizzo di verbi come “can” e “might” esprime possibilità e capacità, rendendo il discorso più fluido e naturale.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

All'interno del video ci sono alcune parole e frasi che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare per gli studenti di inglese. Ecco alcuni esempi:

  • Ultherapy: Spesso questa parola può confondere gli studenti. La pronuncia corretta è fondamentale per la chiarezza e la comprensione.
  • Radiofrequency: Questa parola lunga e complessa richiede attenzione per evitare errori di pronuncia.
  • Collagen: La pronuncia di "collagen" è un'altra trappola comune; è importante accentare correttamente le sillabe per migliorare la pronuncia inglese.

Incorporando queste abilità di shadow speech e praticando attraverso questo video, gli studenti possono amplificare la loro capacità di parlare fluentemente in inglese. Trovare un shadowing site adeguato o utilizzare risorse dedicate può ulteriormente supportare questo processo di apprendimento, rendendo la pratica più efficace e coinvolgente.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
