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.
