Facelift methods: which one to choose?

facelift methods

Women's desire for beauty is a natural desire, and the cosmetology industry offers a wide range of procedures for firming the skin of the face and neck. If the wrinkles on the face are shallow and do not require surgery, then laser injection and rejuvenation methods are suitable for these women, with which you can get rid of small skin defects at affordable prices and fewer side effects.

A significant advantage of non-surgical facelift procedures is the shorter recovery time compared to surgery.

Non-surgical facelift methods

Injections

This method allows you to get rid of wrinkles with the help of injections. When the subcutaneous soft tissues are filled, the face becomes younger. The substance that enters the skin by injecting fat or filler are natural substances that the skin needs. The presence of collagen and elastin allows to obtain elasticity and strength of the skin.

SMAS-lifting with ultrasound

smas-lifting for rejuvenation

The SMAS facelift is the only FDA-approved procedure for lifting and rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as for wrinkle correction.

The principle of the procedure is as follows:

  • with the help of safe exposure to a sensor with microfocused ultrasound on various layers of the skin - from the superficial to the SMAS (musculoaponeurotic system), they are heated in a timely manner;
  • after this exposure, new collagen and young elastin are actively produced, which allows for firming and firming the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as correcting wrinkles;

while the skin surface is not damaged and you can immediately return to your usual lifestyle.

Peculiarities:

  • clinically proven efficacy and safety
  • Patented technology allows you to perform the procedure with jewelry precision
  • combined with other cosmetic rejuvenation procedures
  • the possibility of affecting areas of the skin that are difficult to reach
  • lack of seasonality of the procedure
  • noticeable lifting effect without surgery
  • the rehabilitation period is absent or extremely short (depending on the characteristics of the organism)
  • practically painless procedure
  • the effect of the procedure is immediately visible and continues to increase for 2-6 months
  • the result after the procedure lasts up to 2 years
  • one procedure is sufficient to obtain a visible effect

The system uses ultrasound to tighten and firm the skin. The initial lifting observed immediately after the procedure is due to the increase in tissue density under the influence of temperatures, denaturation (changes) and reduction of collagen in some areas.

Does the procedure have any side effects? Is it safe? These are two very frequently asked questions about this procedure. Our short answer is yes, the procedure is generally safe.

This is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure for the body and face. It uses intense, highly focused ultrasonic energy to firm and lift the skin by gently heating the tissues and stimulating the body's collagen formation process.

The SMAS facelift is a type of facelift surgery that lifts sagging skin, fat pads in the cheeks, and major muscles in the middle and lower parts of the face and neck. Excess skin is also removed during this operation.

Surgical methods of skin tightening

During rhytidectomy, excess skin is removed, muscles and facial tissues are strengthened. This method removes deep wrinkles as effectively as possible.

Disadvantages of a surgical facelift:

  • the procedure is performed using anesthesia, which has its side effects
  • the recovery period is longer than with other methods and can take up to two weeks, during which time the skin has swelling, bruising, and stitches

Lipofilling

During lipofilling, the own fat is taken and injected into the skin layers of those areas that need correction.

Advantages of lipofilling:

  • the result is obvious and safe, because body fat is used
  • fat transplants easily to other parts of the body, is surrounded by blood vessels and tissues, so skin tissues will be less subject to movement or displacement
  • lipids can be stored and reused for injection

Disadvantages:

Due to the use of anesthetic substances, severe swelling occurs in the first days.

Facelift using threads

Lifting is performed with threads under local anesthesia
