Non-Ablative is an option but will not achieve the same as a face lift

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Alternatives to Thermage for loose skin?

The skin around my jowls is loosening noticebly. I was researching Thermage. Are there better more cost-effective skin treatments for my problem?

There are no superior options merely alternatives such as Titan, Velasmooth, Accent.

However, none of these will achieve the degree of improvement that a facelift can perform. Granted there are more risks to surgery.

Non ablative interventions can achieve an improvement of 1-3 on a scale of 10 versus surgery which can achieve a 7-8.
