A laser facelift may be performed to tighten moderate to light sagging of facial skin. The laser facelift procedure is very different from a full surgical facelift because it is a non surgical procedure that does not involve cutting or repositioning the skin.
A laser facelift is performed using a laser to vaporize the outer layers of damaged skin, encouraging new cells to form. It may also involve using a radiofrequency device, such as Thermage, to achieve skin tightening.
Although the laser facelift treatment does not "lift" the face in the same manner as a surgical facelift, it may minimize the appearance of fine lines in wrinkle-prone areas, such as around the eyes and mouth, and stimulate collagen production
