WAYS OF NON SURGICAL FACE LIFT.
1 – High intensity focus ultrasound (HIFU) is a revolutionary alternative to a cosmetic face-lift – without the need of surgery. HIFU lifts and tones the face, neck and eyes resulting in a dramatic yet natural uplift. Read more about HIFU.
2 – DERMAL FILLERS – “Falling cheeks and new jowls are commonly caused by loss of facial volume creating the illusion of sagging skin,” We can restore the volume, without surgery, in just a few minutes and you’ll look like you had a facelift. These procedures are sometimes called “lunchtime facelifts” or “liquid facelift..”
Variety of injectable fillers can be used. Read more about Dermal Fillers.
- Hyaluronic Acid-Based Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Prevelle Silk, Hydrelle, Belotero, Ultra Plus, Voluma, Perlane)
- Collagen-Based Fillers (Cosmoplast, Cosmoderm, Evolence)
- Semi-Permanent Fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse)
- Permanent Fillers (ArteFill)
Hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used filler, being the second most popular non-surgical option with 2,148,326 procedures performed in the United States in 2015.
3 – FAT TRANSFER. An alternative to dermal fillers is fat transfer. Fat can be grafted from other areas of your body, then reinjected into the face to strategically address the volume loss. Fat transfer can be used to address laugh lines, smile lines, crow’s feet, lips, acne scars, skin depressions, concave cheeks, and any other sunken areas of the face. one of the greatest advantages of fat transfer is that it produces very natural-looking long term results, lasting forever after being injected.
And since you are using your own fat, the body accepts it more readily, reducing the chance of allergic reactions or rejections. The only downfall is it can be time consuming to obtain and prepare fat compared to using the prepackaged dermal fillers outlined above.
4 – Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Ultrasound & Laser Treatments
“Correction of pigmentation, fine lines, blotchiness, and redness are done with the right combination of skin care products and powerful light technology such as IPL and lasers,”
These treatments “offer very subtle, but sometimes permanent results that mimic a facelift and can treat the entire face,” Compared with many other options, “these are more cost effective treatments with less downtime,”
5 – Botox – is the most commonly used non surgical treatment with lakhs ofprocedures performed in the US in 2015. “Botox is a neuro-modulator injected into the muscle, which causes it to temporarily relax. The relaxed muscle can no longer contract and therefore cannot create a wrinkle.”
Botox injections effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows, forehead creases, crow’s feet around the eyes, and other wrinkles in the upper face region. And “if you have loose skin creating banding in the neck, sometimes Botox is the answer,” Read more about Botox.
