Is it possible to tighten the jawline and have some of the effects of a facelift without having surgery? The answer is Yes. I have been lucky enough to have been gifted some treatments at Jeanne Brophy’s salon in Clontarf and I am delighted with the results.
You may have read my post on the Dermalux treatment that I had a few months ago at Jeanne Brophy’s salon. Known as The Red Carpet Facial, I was treated to one the morning of my appearance on Dr. Eva Orsmond’s programme ‘How to Live Better For Longer’, which was aired on RTE1 in May. (I’m pictured below on the RTE set with Eileen Smith, the 80-year old Instagramming Style Queen.)
Thank you for the lovely messages commenting on how well I looked. I, too, was delighted. When I watched the programme, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I looked less lined than usual and firmer around the jawline, which was my particular concern.
It was due to both the Red Carpet Facial and my ongoing Endymed treatments at Jeanne Brophy’s Salon.
ENDYMED
Endymed is a radio frequency treatment where heat from a hand-held device is used by the therapist to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin (working within the epidermis and the dermis) to tighten the skin. You can read more about it HERE.
BEFORE AFTER
The light is completely different in the above photos, I presume, because the sun had moved in the hour I was there. The treatment was completely painless and there was a very slight redness which was gone in about half an hour. I had three treatments, each one a month apart and, as I said, I definitely see a big improvement in my jawline and around the eyes and mouth.
The treatment takes between 30-45 mins and it is recommended you take a course.
Are you looking to lift and tighten the contours of your skin without going under the knife?
Then Endymed is certainly one option.
Jeanne Brophy’s process with treatments is to create tailor-made facial and home care plans for the specific concerns of her clients. She has never believed in one-size-fits-all skincare and has also chosen to mix skincare ranges and machines to get the best results for her clients. These bespoke facials can be anything between €150 and €250 depending on what you and your therapist agree on.
I love a pampering facial, but I need something a little more clinical to tighten up that jawline and increase collagen and elastin in the skin. I will be returning to Jeanne Brophy for more treatments as a paying customer.
I did not pay for my original treatments, but as always I give an honest review. I do not review treatments or products that do not work for me. They may work for others, as our skin concerns are all different. That is why it is good (if you can afford it) to visit a reputable aesthetician or facialist to get expert advice on the best lotions, potions and treatments for your particular skin type. It will be money well spent.
I love how honest Hilda is and it really goes to show that it’s not about getting something for nothing that makes it sound you must try it , or promote it . This is REAL 👏
Thanks Mary. Skincare is so personal and it is great if you can afford the advice to make the right decisions. The first step is to get your skin analysed. And I think the price is reasonable, considering the results. I am happy and I am difficult to please!!!!!
Wow, great results, Hilda. I am going to check into this in the U.S. Thank you!
It is excellent. Going back for more…. xx
Wow! looks like great results. My neck and chin line has been an issue for me for a while. Would love results like that! Thank you for sharing. Love, Peta
Yes Peta very impressed and I am using products that are recommended by my therapist too. Thank you for commenting x
That looks and sounds like a perfect treatment! Who wouldn’t love to look better without having knives and all into your skin! Ha ha, thanks for letting us know!
Absolutely Nancy. It is good when you can see a definite improvement.
Ooo, how nice! You look great! I see the glow! This sounds interesting, as I am trying out a product called Nira, and it is a hand held device that is a laser treatment.. I have to give it a go for 60+ days. Glad your show went well, I know Eileen through Instagram.
Did you go out to dinner later with the hubby? Want to show that treatment!
Come and link up when you get a chance 🙂

Oh Jess dying to hear how your laser experience goes. I think treatments have improved so much and there is such a choice out there. Lokking forward to hearing. Eileen is wonderful.
Hilda,
I read this post and can’t believe how wonderful your skin looks!
I always thought you have a wonderful complexion, to begin with!
Eileen and you look like you got along so well!
Hugs always my friend,
Robin
Thanks Robin. Eileen is a lovely lady and great fun. She plays golf too.
Great results, Hilda! I’m totally curious about this procedure!!!
Thanks Tina…it is amazing.
Great results! Thank you for this information. It’s so hard to keep up on all the new procedures available.
Yes it is…I am really pleased with this.
This is great Hilda! I’m always looking for things to help in that area. I’ve been doing a couple of things, but will check this out! <3

Thanks Melanie. It is amazing. Going for my next on e this week…
You are glowing lady! That looks like an amazing experience.
It works..wish I could have done it years ago
Thank you, Hilda. I have a right budget and have to spend my money on things that really work. When I see photos of before and after in totally different lighting I am warned. This is what they all do. I would love to see your face before and after photographed in the same lighting and surrounding. Otherwise I love your thorough report❤️ I will certainly check this out as you are – Hilda, a woman to trust💋
I tried but the light had changed in the hour I was there…I am going back this week to pay….three months later and I feel it is still good…
Came over to read after you mentioned about Dermalux, Hilda.
I can definitely see me being a convert to trying out more things like this. My aim is to look less knackered if poss … not bothered about looking younger … just fresh will do. I’m happy I’ve reached the age I am and want to embrace it.
You can see a difference in your before and after and I think that’s how felt i looked after my treatment xo
I agree Sharon. I feel I look better and firmer…and fresher.
You look amazing Hilda!
I have always admired your beautiful skin, but I can really see a difference. I going to check this out here in the states.
I have sun damage from Florida lifestyle. And would really love a firmer jaw line.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for reading Rosemary. If we had the access to these treatments ..and the money for them years ago we would look like Jennifer Aniston….x
