What is Non-Surgical Face Lift?
Non-surgical face lift refers to cosmetic procedures that tighten and rejuvenate the skin without surgical intervention. These methods are minimally invasive, have a short recovery time, and produce natural results.
Non-Surgical Face Lift Methods
1. HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
It heats the deep layers of the skin with high-intensity focused ultrasound waves. It tightens the skin by increasing collagen production. Results begin to appear within 2-3 months.
2. RF (Radiofrequency) Treatment
Heats the deeper layers of the skin using radiofrequency energy. Stimulates collagen and elastin production. Tightens and rejuvenates the skin.
3. Laser Treatment
Renews the upper layers of the skin using different types of lasers. Options include fractional laser, CO2 laser, and erbium laser.
4. Microneedling
Creates microchannels in the skin with small needles. Stimulates collagen production and rejuvenates the skin.
5. Plasma Treatment
Renews the upper layers of the skin with plasma energy. Effective around the eyes and on the face.
6. Dermaroller/Dermapen
Creates microtrauma in the skin using small needles. Tightens the skin by increasing collagen production.
