Is There Such a Thing As a Non-surgical Face Lift?

What is usually involved in a "non-surgical" face lift?

Tags:

Non- Surgical Facelift

Two of the causes of facial aging are the loss of facial volume and the loss of skin texture and turgor. Non-surgical rejuvenation includes many techniques to address these problems Fillers such as Radiesse, Juvederm, or fat are used to increase volume and imrove contour. Skin care by our aesthetician and/or more aggressive treatments such as peels or laser resurfacing are used to improve skin quality. Botox injections help to reduce unwanted lines of animation. .

Non-surgical facelifts or "liquid facelifts"

A subtle non-surgical facelift can be achieved for the YOUNGER PATIENT WITH EARLY CHANGES by using a combination of Botox and voulme enhancement and wrinkle reduction with injectable fillers. The results are temporary but can by very nice in the properly selected patient. Patients who really need a real facelift but don't want one or who don't think they need one will not get very much from a liquid facelift.

Liquid Face lifts and/or the Non-surgical Face lift

A Liquid face lift or non-surgical face lift are popular names that refer to techniques using botulinum toxin (Dysport, etc), fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Prevelle Silk, Radiesse, Artefill, Aquamid, etc) and resurfacing modalities (IPL, Laser, radiofrequency). Using these interventions are realistic for accomplishing subtle and commonly temporary corrections. However, the mainstay of dramatic and sustainable correction remains surgery.

You can get some improvement

"Non-surgical facelift" is a term used to describe a series of treatments designed to improve the appearance of an aged face. It involves skin care, Botox, injectable fillers and volumizers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvaderm, Radiesse, and Sculptra),Lasers for skin tightening (Refirme, Titan, Thermage), and IPL for removal of pigment irregularity. The key to this is proper evaluation by your physician and understanding about the complexity of facial aging. A non-surgical approach may... more

It is a trendy term

Non-surgical face lift refers to the use of injectables in key places to lift the jowls and mouth corners, eyebrows, and cheeks, nasolabial folds. It is accomplished with Botox and injectable fillers combined for optimal results. Often, Titan, Thermage, Repair and Active/Deep FX are also added. While they will not give you the same result as facelift, in the right candidate in need of volume replacement, the effect can be even better.

Non-Surgical/Liquid Facelift Best When Combined with Laser

There are a lot of skin rejuvenation techniques today that don’t involve cutting. Facial fillers, Sculptra® in particular has been used effectively in revoluminizing the face with results that can give a lifting appearance. Other fillers can achieve similar results, but this does involve a significant volume to be injected into the face. This is what is typically meant by a non-surgical or “liquid facelift.” I also recommend that fillers be used in combination... more

A non-surgical facelift is not a facelift at all

A non-surgical facelift is a misnomer. In reality, it is not a facelift at all at least in the conventional sense. It does not involve any skin removal or actual lifting. Rather it is a facial rejuvenation procedure that uses injectable fillers to plump up areas and some mild forms of skin tightening. It is best suited for younger patients who have early signs of facial aging. For patients with more advanced aging that has saggy neck and jowls, more conventional forms of facelifting... more

Non Surgical Facelift with fillers

Fillers may be used to augment cheek bones, add volume to the cheeks, strengthen the jawline, and fill hollows under the eyes. All of these things can add up to a rejuvenated and fresher face. One of the early signs of aging is to lose volume in the face. Many of the wrinkles and sagging skin are caused by this loss of volume. In many ways fillers can give results superior to surgery for rejuvenating the face. Take some time to review our photo gallery and... more

Non-surgical options for face-lifting

Ulthera is the only FDA approved device for non-surgical lifting of the facial tissue. This device uses ultrasound technology to stimulate your body's own restorative properties to help generate new collagen and lift and tighten the facial tissues. This device was approved in September of 2009 by the FDA but has been used in Europe and in Asia for several years with good results. This is an excellent option for patients under 60 years old who do not have excessive... more

The needle wins for facial rejuvenation

Injections with Botox (or Dysport) and fillers (hyaluronic acids, Sculptra or Radiesse) can achieve surprisingly natural results without surgery in facial rejuvenation, especially when combined with nonsurgical tightening treatments such as Thermage. Softening wrinkles of facial expression with Botox or Dysport combined with filling folds and restoring sagging areas to lift jowls is very achievable by experienced physicians. Laser resurfacing such as Fraxel... more

Non-surgical facelift is not a Facelift

A "non-surgical Facelift" is not really a Facelift, but a marketing term used to describe facial rejuvenation with fillers and/or Botox. Fillers and Botox are wonderful tools in addressing specific aging changes, but do not achieve the same results as a Facelift. The general rule of thumb is that in a patient seeking facial rejuvenation, more extensive aging changes require more aggressive procedures in order to provide a significant result. Fillers and Botox... more

The elusive non surgical face lift

Mostly this is a marketing term used in the promotion of Radiofrequency skin tightening or the use of collagen stimulators and fillers (and Botox). No nonsurgical treatment will take the place of a face lift if you really need one. However, the expert use of Sculptra -- and sometimes fillers and Botox -- can give some excellent results in lifting the jowls, the brow, creating more cheek prominence and volume and rebalancing the face to the more youthful inverted triangle shape. Thermage or... more

Non-Surgical (or Liquid ) FaceLift - is NOT a FaceLift

Facial aging is gradual process in which facial bone absorption and loss of volume under the skin produce facial sagging and the wrinkles of aging. In EARLY facial aging, a significant improvement can be achieved with the use of large volume of filler placement (Fat, Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane etc) which fills fine lines, restore cheek volume and improves the texture and appearance of the skin. Botox is often used to erase active lines, raise the inner and outer portions of the brow... more

Non-Surgical Facelifts: Treating Loss and Shifts of Facial Volume

Yes, there is absolutely such as thing as a non-surgical (sometimes spelled non-surgical) Facelift, a procedure (or more correctly a set of techniques) that have resulted from a dramatic change only in the past few years in our way of thinking about what actually happens during facial aging. Until quite recently, the knee jerk response by both the medical and lay communities to the problem of facial aging was the Rhytidectomy, the facelift, an aggressive, invasive surgical procedure... more

Non surgical facelift procedures are performed regularly in Los Angeles

Non surgical facelift procedures are routinely performed in plastic surgery saturated areas such as Los Angeles. The goal of a non-surgical facelift is to reestablish volume and fullness of the face using safe facial fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, and Radiesse. I usually perform these procedures when volume, rather than facial support, is the main problem.
