Non-Surgical Facelift Explained
A non-surgical facelift refers to various minimally- and non-invasive aesthetic treatments that address the effects of aging without the need for a traditional facelift, leaving patients with a refreshed and more youthful aesthetic. For those seeking skin rejuvenation without the risks and lengthy recovery times associated with a traditional facelift, a non-surgical facelift can be an excellent alternative.
It can tackle multiple skin concerns simultaneously without the need for invasive surgery. It’s highly effective, quick, and convenient, with very little to no downtime.
What are the Different Types of Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is tailored to meet each individual’s unique concerns, and can include the following options:
Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that counteract the signs of aging. They replenish lost volume, define contours, and smooth out lines and wrinkles, restoring the skin’s natural, youthful complexion.
Some, such as poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers, stimulate natural collagen production, providing gradual, natural-looking, and lasting skin improvement. Others, like hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, attract and retain water molecules, hydrating and plumping the skin.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing uses powerful beams of light energy to target skin imperfections, including lines, wrinkles, age spots, loose skin, rough patches, and scars.
The laser beam delivers heat energy to the skin, removing the damaged outer layer. This initiates the body’s natural healing response, increasing cell turnover.
At the same time, the heat energy penetrates the skin to activate new collagen production and remodel existing collagen. The creation of new skin cells and the remodeling and production of collagen result in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
FaceTite
FaceTite is a procedure that uses controlled radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to target stubborn fat cells, lifting and tightening the skin for a more youthful profile. It works by delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy to the skin’s subdermal layer.
The heat produced by RF energy melts fat, contracts collagen fibers, and encourages new collagen production. In turn, this process sculpts the face, firming the skin and reducing fat in unwanted areas, like the neck, jowls, and chin, for a more defined facial contour.
Biostimulators
Biostimulators are injectable substances that stimulate fibroblast cells to produce new collagen, restoring youthful plumpness and enhancing skin firmness and overall quality.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy targets wrinkles, skin sagging, and other signs of aging on the neck, face, and chest. It employs ultrasound technology to promote collagen production.
As collagen increases, skin becomes firmer and more youthful in appearance.
Nefertiti Lift with Botox
The Nefertiti Lift is a procedure that uses Botox to reduce the constant muscle tension that drags skin downward, contributing to wrinkles and sagging skin. Botox is injected in the jaw, along the lower part of the face, and neck to relax the platysma muscle and muscles in the lower face for a more defined neck and facial profile.
