If you are looking for a non-surgical facelift or Calgary laser hair removal, we can help. A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the skin of your face and neck, removing wrinkles and restoring a more youthful appearance.
It may be performed on the face, neck, or both. A facelift can be performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon in one session or over several sessions.
What is a non-surgical facelift?
Non-surgical facelifts are a combination of procedures that can help you achieve a refreshed and energized look without undergoing surgery. Filler injections are one of the most common non-surgical procedures used to rejuvenate your face and have been popular for decades.
A patient receives injections of hyaluronic acid, a natural ingredient in the body, which adds volume to facial structures such as cheeks, lips, and under-eye area to improve lost elasticity due to aging. Fillers are usually combined with laser skin resurfacing treatments or chemical peels which promote collagen production resulting in skin that is smooth and firm.
How does a non-surgical facelift work?
The non-surgical facelift utilizes radiofrequency energy to heat and tightens the underlying tissue of the face. Radiofrequency energy penetrates deeply into the skin, heating both fat and collagen (the main component of connective tissue).
This process stimulates new collagen production and causes existing collagen fibers to contract, resulting in a smoother texture and tighter skin on the face. The heat generated by radiofrequency energy also helps stimulate blood flow to promote healing and reduce inflammation in treated areas.
Advantages of non-surgical facelifts
There are many advantages of non-surgical facelifts. Here are just some:
- No downtime: You can return to your normal activities right away after the procedure. There is no significant pain involved with this treatment and there is no need to take time off from work or school.
- Affordable: You can receive the results of a surgical facelift without undergoing surgery or having any incisions made into your face. This makes it an affordable option compared to other treatments that require incisions or surgery.
- No incisions: This means no scars, which can make the procedure even more appealing to those who are self-conscious about their skin.
- No pain: The procedure involves no cutting and minimal discomfort because it's performed without incisions or stitches. You may feel slight pressure during the procedure as the doctor applies a numbing cream to your face, but it feels similar to when dentists apply Novocain before administering dental care.
Types of non-surgical facelift
- Botox: This is the most common type of treatment, and Botox is used to relax facial muscles and smooth wrinkle lines. It can also help to lift the brow line and reduce forehead wrinkles.
- Fillers: Fillers are injected into the skin to add volume and create a more youthful appearance. They can be used around the mouth, cheeks, and chin to give you a fuller look, as well as around the eyes to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Radiofrequency treatment: Radiofrequency energy is delivered through a small wand that's held against your face. This helps stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. The results are usually permanent, but they may take several months to fully appear.
- Chemical peels: A chemical peel uses an acid that causes layers of the outermost skin to fall away, revealing fresh new skin beneath it. The procedure can be performed on its own or as part of another treatment such as RF energy therapy. The effects of chemical peels can last anywhere from three days to several weeks depending on the strength of the solution used during the procedure.
