Jaw and Neck Line Improvement
If you post pictures, I could probably tell you if this would be worthwhile for you. Any degree of tissue ptosis will be better treated with face and neck lift. The device will not treat the platysma, the SMAS or the fatty deposits. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Laser Face Lift
Thank you for your question about using the Alma Laser ClearLift for a face lift.
This laser is a Q-switched 1064 nm non-ablative laser. It can tighten loose skin - not loose muscle or deep tissue - in a series of 6 or more treatments.
It is best for very thin skin. Poor for thick skin. You need 6 or more.
Unless your only problem is skin wrinkling, a surgical face lift is better.
For all the marketing, I found NO research about how long it lasts. For...

62 year-old face neck jawline
The aging process in the neck includes jowling and inelastic skin in both the face and the neck area. Fatty deposits are also present in the neck above and below the platysma muscle. The anterior platysmal muscle cords also start to become more prominent. A comprehensive face neck lift can address tightening skin, neck muscles and removal of the fatty deposits in the neck to improve the jawline. A laser or tightening device will not be able to accomplish what a facelift can do.

Non-invasive Procedures Not Yet As Effective as Surgery
The neck and jawline is one of the most challengin areas of the face to address. Non-invasive treatments such as the alma laser are unlikely to give you a result that you desire. You are better off saving for a surgical procedure.
All the best.

Laser clear lift??
The short answer is no. ... The longer answer is that if you post a picture, I can let you know what will work for you.

The answer is subjective.
In part the answer also depends on price point. You are likely to have some help. Will you feel like it was worthwhile? This may depend on what you paid and your expectations. These treatments are not facelifts. On the other hand there is minimal down time. It is good to remember that the very best results end up in the before and after marketing pictures. A very modest improvement is realistic.

Lasers do not really "lift" but they can "shrink"
I have used lasers for over 30 years including all the varieties of very invasive types. I continue to work with them including the new fractionated lasers.
If there is really excess skin and displaced underlying fat, they do not give the effect of a face lift.
However they can be combined with fillers and liposuction to create results that in some patients do approach a facelift.
Your best answer is to see a plastic surgeon that has skills in all the surgical options as...

Clear lift
Never heard of the clear lift, so you can be sure there is nothing so revolutionary or fantastic about it. Stick with a surgeon who has a good reputation and go with the tried and true, otherwise, you are setting yourself up for a dissappointment.
