How Much Does the Soft Lift Procedure Usually Cost? I am 35 years old and very interested in the soft lift (botox/juvederm combination). I have crows feet and under eye wrinkles, which are my main concern. Would this be the best option as botox only works on the crows feet? And what would be the approximate price? How long does it generally last? Are there side effects? I am a bit nervous about a lot of this stuff, so any suggestions would be helpful.

A: Botox and Fillers for soft lift correction.

Treatment for crows feet is usually done with Botox. Also, a fractionated CO2 laser treatment would help. Fillers can be used for the tear drop grove and also for injection cheek implants. The latter stretches the skin around the crow's feet. The amount of Botox and filler needed is highly variable based on how deep the wrinkles are. Beware of pricing per zone. There is no standard nomenclature for what a zone is and will likely underdose you.

Who Is Familiar With The Non-Surgical Facelift Wrap Shown on TV? I'm interested in getting a non-surgical facelift wrap that I saw on the Doctors Show are you familiar with it and how do you get one? Ellie

A: The Face Wrap (The Face Bra) for facial rejuvenation

The Face Wrap has some mild benefits but not more than other cosmoceuticals. I am familiar with it- my wife purchased one. It appears to work in 2 ways. First, it compresses the lymphatics (fluid drainage pathways) in the neck and face causing temporary plumping of the non-compressed face and squeezing of the compressed neck. The changes are short lived and is certainly not a non-surgical facelift. Secondly, it restores moisture and cleanses the skin. There are many options out there and this is certainly not the best.

The are truly non-surgical facelifts but they typically include Botox, Fillers, and Laser treatment. So, if it sounds to good to be true......
