A non-surgical facelift is a procedure that makes a person look younger. There are many non-surgical options for facelifts. You can choose from Botox or dermal fillers. These methods can be used to remove jowling or hollowness from the skin.
Dermal fillers
The dermal fillers can be used as an alternative to facelift surgery. This type of treatment can be performed in a single treatment or over multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. The effects of dermal filler treatments are not as permanent than those from a facial lift. After treatment, patients will need to abstain from all strenuous activities for 48-hours.
Fillers for the skin work by filling in the space between the skin and the tissue. They were traditionally injected in the face with needles. However, today's technology has made it possible to inject dermal fillers using a cannula to create a more natural look. This allows for the skin to look more like the contours and fat areas of the face. VIDA sells popular dermalfillers such as Restylane, Juvederm or Belafill.
Fat injections
Fat injections are also known as fat transfers and can be used in place of surgical facelifts. This involves extracting fat cells from different parts of the body, and then transferring them to your face. The most common uses are to increase volume in sunken cheeks, enhance thin lips, and fix hollows below the eye. The procedure takes only a few minutes and fat cells can be injected directly into facial tissues. No special care or bandages are required after the procedure.
Fat injections can be done at a very affordable price and results are often visible within a few weeks. A facial surgeon injects fat from another part of your body into the targeted area. The fat is then transferred into the targeted area to give the skin a more smooth and tighter appearance.
Botox
Nonsurgical facelifts are a great way to enhance the look of your facial features and avoid having to go under the knife. Botox can be used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. This procedure may not be permanent for everyone. Your doctor will answer all your questions and show you before/after pictures.
Nonsurgical facelifts are more beneficial than surgical. This type of facelift does not require general anesthesia or large incisions. It also takes a very short recovery time. You can return to normal activities almost immediately.
Radiofrequency energy
A combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling can deliver exceptional results for facial rejuvenation. The microneedles open tiny pores in the skin to allow radiofrequency energy to be delivered to the new area. Using both techniques together can deliver exceptional results and minimal downtime.
The process heats the collagen underneath the skin. Collagen, a protein, is important for maintaining a youthful and firm skin. As we age, collagen production slows. RF treatments can increase collagen production by increasing the contraction and realignment. This process encourages the creation of new collagen.
Liquid Facelifts
Liquid facelifts offer a non-surgical, safe alternative to surgery. These procedures can only be performed by facial plastic surgeons. There is minimal risk of complications. Some patients do experience slight side effects, such as tenderness and swelling. These side effects are easily managed with nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs. Your surgeon will offer you specific instructions following your procedure. Avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise within two days of your surgery.
A liquid facelift can rejuvenate the skin and facial features. Unlike surgical facelifts, liquid facelifts have a minimal recovery time. During the procedure, a plastic surgeon will tighten loose facial tissues, which reduces tension on the skin and makes the procedure last longer. A plastic surgeon can also trim the sagging skin to give you a more streamlined look.
