As we get older, we lose volume in our faces, specifically around the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and lips. Fortunately, restoring a youthful freshness can be achieved with a non-surgical face-lift. Here’s a closer look at the procedure and its valuable benefits.

What Does a Non-Surgical Face-Lift Entail?

Minimally invasive face-lifts require a combination of dermal filler injections, laser resurfacing, and ultrasound energy treatments. They can be scheduled all at once for a more dramatic, noticeable change but can be quite painful. Many choose to have the procedure administered in multiple treatments that are more comfortable so they can enjoy results that add up over time.

Botox

Botox is a common “brow-lift” method used on frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. The method takes a week or two to show results and lasts for about three months.

Filler Injections

Fat fillers are considered invasive because they require surgery to attain fat from another area of the body. However, gel fillers are an effective noninvasive alternative. These injections are usually composed of hyaluronic acid and are key to restoring volume, smoothing lines, and enhancing the contours of the face.

Laser Resurfacing

This is also considered a chemical peel or dermabrasion, in which facial wrinkles are targeted. Redness can occur after treatment but generally calms down within a few hours.

Ultrasound Energy

Radiofrequency energy is used to tighten the foundational, supportive layers of the skin. It primarily focuses on the eyebrows, neck, and under the chin.

How Does It Differ From a Surgical Face-Lift?

Minimally invasive procedures like facial injections and chemical peels are quick procedures that can be done without anesthesia and don’t require large incisions. They produce moderate results that add up as you get more treatments.

This aspect is less dramatic in comparison to a surgical face-lift that requires hospitalization and recovery time. Noninvasive procedures last between one and two years, while surgical face-lifts can be effective for up to a decade.
