How long does an non surgical facelift last and do I need to keep getting it done?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

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​​​​

The term "non surgical facelift" can mean a lot of things. The reasons someone would look for such a treatment mix are many and unique to every person. So, things to consider:AgeVolume LossSkin ConditionSkin Elasticity / LaxityUnderlying Tissue SupportCranial ShrinkageFat PresenceDepending on all these factors (and more), a person may or may not be a reasonable candidate for nonsurgical procedures.Aging never stops; so no matter if you have surgery or not, your skin and underlying tissue support will continue to change. Surgical procedures create much more substantial changes by lifting muscle, cutting away tissue and re-positioning skin. You can't do those things outside of a surgical procedure.Non surgical intervention can include ultrasound (Ultherapy), radio frequency (Profound and Fractora), fillers and collagen stimulators, PRP, fractional laser and more. Understanding that there are limitations; that fillers have limited longevity and that your skin's ability to produce new collagen will all factor into how "successful" a non surgical treatment combination can be for you.Seeing a board certified plastic surgeon and/or dermatologist in person will help you understand your potential success. Often plastic surgery is now augmented with non surgical elements, especially fillers and relaxers and skin texture improvement.

Hello,Thank you for your question. There area several components to a "Liquid" or non-surgical face lift. Some volumizers like Sculptra will last up to two years. Where as fillers around the mouth last 6-8 months. So you will need to freshen up certain areas more regularly. Make sure you consult in person with an experienced physician to determine the best course of treatment!

The answer to your question about how long a nonsurgical facelift lasts will depend on what procedures you have done. Each patient has different needs, depending on what stage of aging they are in, the quality of their skin, and the degree of sagging. If you have a nonsurgical necklift and lower facelift with ThermiTight, for instance, your results should last a year or two before you need another laser treatment. If you build up your cheekbones and midface with Voluma and/or Sculptra, you would need another round of fillers in a year or two. If you smooth out dynamic wrinkles with Botox, these must be retreated every 3 to 4 months. Creating more volume in your lips or filling out nasolabial folds, perioral lines, and marionette lines with hyaluronic-acid based fillers such as Juvederm, Volbella, Belotero, and Restylane means you will need re-treatment in anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who can work with you over the long-term to prescribe great skin care, sun protection and anti-aging treatments that will help you look young and vibrant for as long as possible.

The term "nonsurgical facelift" is another way of describing minimally invasive options such as neurotoxins or fillers to address specific concerns and make improvements on aging changes.  Therefore, the definition will vary depending on who you see.  Longer lasting volumizers such as Sculptra can last 2 years or more and certain fillers will last for 9-18 months (Radiesse).  If a patient does not wish to have the downtime or like the idea or surgery and if use of these nonsurgical options is appropriate, the likelihood of satisfaction is higher.  However, if  a patient seeks a surgical result from a nonsurgical option, chances for success are far lower.  

Thank you for your questions! A non-surgical facelift usually includes the combination of injections of fillers and botulinum toxin (Botox/Dysport) in specific areas of the face to improve the facial contour and give you a "lifting" effect. How long it will last depends on what kind of product is used and also on your particular facial shape and areas that need treatment. Botulinum toxin results last for about 4 months and filler results vary from 6 months to up to 2 years. Skin care is also very important for improvement and maintenance of results. That may include topical home cosmeceuticals, facial peels, lasers....An experienced plastic surgeon will be able to help you define your treatment plan and the long term maintenance routine. Hope this helps! Best, Dr Miotto.

Results fro a non surgical face lift will vary depending on the type of procedure selected. You will continue to age naturally and your skin will continue to be influenced by factors such as genetics, skin care, weight fluctuations, etc. Treatments such as Botox and fillers can last a few months to a couple of years. More in depth procedures such as Morpheus8, FaceTite or lasers can last longer.

It all depends on what treatment was done and factors like your metabolism. A thread lift lasts around 1-2 years, depending on which threads and how many threads were used. Fillers last up to 1-2 years, depending on the type of filler. High-intensity exercise and a lot of sun exposure could shorten the longevity of your results. Your results are not permanent. Aging, loss of collagen, and gravity contribute to losing your results as well. Maintaining your treatments is recommended to keep the results.

Thank you for your question. 
There are many great products for creating a beautiful result. Longevity depends on products used for your non surgical facelift.  Juvederm products such as a Juvederm Voluma for cheek augmentation and Juvederm Vollure for nasolabial folds and marionette lines would be a great choice with a 18-24 month longevity. 
Bellafill would require more syringes than Juvederm products but would give a beautiful result lasting more than 5 years. 
There are many great products for lip lines. Juvederm Volbella is the newest FDA approved filler for lip lines.  It does a great job at softening lip lines without the bulky or puffy appearance with a one year longevity. For restoring lip volume Juvederm Ultra or restylane would be good choices. 
Botox or Dysport maybe good choices also for softening forehead lines, glabellar lines, and crows feet. The longevity is 4-6 months. 
IPL or BBL may be a good choice for evening out skin tone and improving skin texture and integrity. 
Facial fat transfer can add more volume than filler and may have greater longevity if done with platelet rich plasma and stem cells. 
And to maintain results you may have to repeat some of the procedures used to create your non surgical facelift. The results are beautiful and so worth it. 
Please consult a local board certified facial plastic surgeon for more information and a comprehensive consultation
