Alternative to full face laser resurfacing during facelift?

I would recommend discussing less aggressive resurfacing options, such as fractional lasers or non-ablative treatments, which tend to have a gentler impact on sensitive skin in combination with growth factors and exosomes. These topicals have amazing healing properties and can be started even before the procedure to prep the skin.

I would suggest a deep facelift layer and muscle rejuvenation performed under local with a one week downtime of swelling and bruising
The deep facial tissues will be lifted, tightened and qualitatively improved.

A full set of facial and neck photographs are required to make a determination about being a candidate for both a surgical facelift, and some type of laser resurfacing. There are many different lasers available. In our practice, the goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove any fat deposits in the neck, which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline.
