Many men and women are concerned about visible signs of aging on their faces. As time passes, facial tissues begin to sag and lose volume as fat and collagen stores begin to deteriorate. While facelift surgery is an option, some potential patients may not want or need to undergo an invasive procedure. Fortunately, there are non-surgical, minimally invasive ways to rejuvenate your face without the need for surgery, general anesthesia, or extended downtime.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic is an injectable composed of poly-L-lactic acid that stimulates your body’s collagen production to add volume to specific areas that have become hollow or gaunt. The treatment is injected deep into the dermis layer of the skin, where it is gradually absorbed by the body. Deep nasolabial folds, chin wrinkles, and marionette lines can all be addressed with Sculptra® Aesthetic.
Benefits
- Subtle, natural-looking results
- Improvement can last for up to two years after treatment
- Enhanced collagen production over time
Silhouette InstaLift™
The Silhouette InstaLift™ uses sutures and cones made of a special bioplastic to lift the midface. The cones help to anchor the thread and lift the facial tissues. A local anesthetic is administered to prevent pain or discomfort during the procedure. A needle is used to create a channel in the skin, and the thread is then inserted. The threads are gently manipulated to provide a youthful appearance without the need for surgery. Patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
Benefits
- Minimally invasive
- Quick recovery
- Stimulates collagen production for prolonged results
PDO Thread Lift
PDO threads are another type of bioabsorbable thread that can be used to lift sagging skin. Threads can be smooth or barbed depending on the needs and preferences of the patient. Thread lifting procedures cost less than a traditional facelift and have a lower risk of complications.
Benefits
- Lower cost than a traditional facelift
- Very low risk of side effects
- Targeted lifting of facial tissues
Is a Non-surgical Facelift Right for Me?
The treatments described above can be performed together or separately for quick, dramatic improvement. Because these options are minimally invasive, there is minimal risk of scarring, and recovery time is very short. Patients who wish to address signs of aging but who do not yet need surgery may be perfect candidates for a non-surgical facelift. If you are experiencing more advanced facial aging, surgical intervention may be more appropriate.
