Traditional surgical facelifts can be very expensive and scary for people afraid of being “put under.” Non-surgical facelifts provide the same results at half the cost and requires no anesthesia.
Non-surgical facelifts are alternatives for removing the signs of facial aging without the risks of dangerous side effects associated with facelift surgery.
Below are a few options to consider when researching non-surgical facelifts:
Thermage– Thermage is a new non-surgical procedure that involves the application of radio frequency energy to your face. This energy strategically heats collagen and in response, strengthens, tightens, and organizes your skin. Thermage provides the following benefits: tighter skin, tightened jawline, higher eyebrows, softer forehead lines, crows feet and scowl lines, reduced active acne, and smoother acne scars.
Dermal Fillers– Skin fillers offer temporary and permanent solutions through injections of various kinds of man-made and synthetic materials, like collagen, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite. Most common products include Juvéderm, Radiesse, and Restylane. These facial fillers make your skin fuller and less wrinkled.
BOTOX® Cosmetic-Is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States. BOTOX® reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by overactive muscles in the face. By relaxing these muscles, BOTOX® Cosmetic reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Results lasts between three and six months.
Chemical peels– Skin peels can reduce skin sagging by removing the outer layers of damaged skin and stimulating a healing response to increase the amount of collagen and elastin in facial skin.
