Alternative Treatments to Mini Facelift?

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

One good option to a facelift or mini facelift is the Ulthera procedure, which can treat the underlying loose fascia and tighten the face and neck without surgery. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Many people assume they wouldn’t be able to afford a mini facelift (or other plastic surgery), but I would caution you about jumping to conclusions. A large part of the cost of cosmetic surgery is the general anesthesia and the operating room fees. Some mini facelifts, like the one I developed and have been performing for 20 years, can be performed in-office using local anesthesia instead, eliminating those extra costs. I encourage you to meet with some board-certified plastic surgeons in your area to find out what they recommend and what their prices would be.
If in fact you can’t afford a mini facelift, there are plenty of other options. Nonsurgical skin tightening uses directed energy to rebuild your natural collagen, and laser treatments can add skin firmness while also reducing fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, scars, and more. Both of these are more affordable options than a mini facelift, but it’s important for you to be seen by a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine which procedures are and are not appropriate for your needs.
