Also, how long after Juvederm injections (on my cheeks and nasolabial folds) do I have to wait before I can have a Microcurrent Facelift?
Answer: Does "microcurrent facelift" work? I doubt that you will find a definitive answer to this, because it probably hasn't been studied to know how this combination affects the filler. Without data from studies, you won't really know. For that matter, it is fair to ask whether such a thing as "microcurrent facelift" actually works; there don't seem to be many scientific studies (if any) supporting that concept. Laser skin tightening or Thermage, on the other hand, have been thoroughly evaluated.

Answer: Juvederm, Facelift, Microcurrent and other Potions Lotions and Myths
There are no worthwhile studies on microcurrent nor micro current and Juvederm. I have consulted with many patients who unfortunately wasted money on microcurrent treatments and other "home shopping type" procedures performed in salons with little if any results. Microcurrent treatments do not have the scientific data and results behind them like Exilis and Thermage. These two procedures can give effective results. While a surgical facelift will give the best results, for those who do not want surgery, research Exilis and Thermage before microcurrents. IF you were to move forward with microcurrent I would have the juvederm placed after such a procedure.

Answer: Microcurrent Facial Great question. I don't think you will find any surgeon who would claim that a facial can accomplish the same thing as a facelift. A facelift surgically lifts all the tissue of the face in a direction that is directly opposed to gravity which is something that cannot be recreated non-surgically. However, there are many non-surgical adjuncts that can make impactful changes to the quality of the skin such as tightening or rejuvenating the tissue. These are often great options for those that are not ready for surgery or even used in addition to surgery at times. Hope this helps!

Answer: Microcurrent Facial vs Facelift There is value, for the right patients, in the numerous non surgical options that exist to treat the aging face. A facelift is unique from any non surgical option in that it lifts and repositions the facial tissue upward, back to the position and shape of the face in our youth. Our practice prefers a Deep Plane Facelift that lifts and elevates the sagging facial skin, muscle and deeper fat pads. This technique restores the heart shaped face of youth, with wider and more prominent cheek bones and a slender, tapered jawline. While the numerous non surgical devices can tighten, I have not encountered one that can actually lift the face.

Answer: Microcurrent vs Facelift Thank you for your question. While microcurrent facials can help stimulate collagen and provide a bit of tightening, a facelift can 100% correct hanging skin, sagging midfaces and jowling for long-lasting results. A microlift procedure can not be compared to a facelift procedure, as it does not address signs of aging in such an effective fashion. Please consult with an experienced, trustworthy and board certified plastic surgeon with knowledge and experience in facial rejuvenation techniques.
