Nonsurgical FaceliftNonsurgical Facelift Options
There are many noninvasive techniques used to tone and tighten the face, as well as
remove wrinkles,
without open surgery. Some of the most common methods include:* Thermage is a radio wave procedure which can tighten facial skin and conservatively improve skin aesthetics. * Injectable fillers, like
collagen,
can eliminate surface wrinkles and improve skin quality. * Microcurrent lifts utilize electrical energy to improve the tone and quality of the facial skin. Noninvasive Facelift CompromiseIf none of these options will provide you with the results you desire, then there are still minimally invasive options which are surgical in nature, yet not nearly as drastic as a full open facelift. There are many partial lifts and specific area lifts, such as brow lifts, eyelid lifts and neck lifts which can be accomplished endoscopically. There is also the thread facelift option which uses specialized materials to hold up and reinforce the underlying facial structure. However, once again, these procedures are less effective than a full facelift operation. For patients who want the biggest difference made, they should investigate the many options for a full lift, including minimally invasive endoscopic techniques.Nonsurgical Facelift AdviceNone of the nonsurgical options are cheap and most are only effective to a minor or moderate degree. All of these techniques are perfect for patients with minor aging issues and signs of skin degeneration. None are truly appropriate for patients who require open surgery, or at least endoscopic, but comprehensive procedures.
