What is a Surgical Face Lift?

Known by the medical term rhytidectomy, a surgical face lift is designed to alter the face through reshaping tissue and muscle and addressing some of the signs of ageing, such as nasolabial folds wrinkles.

A traditional face lift involves a surgeon making an incision on either side of the face and peeling back the skin. Tissue is altered, changing the contours of the face and then the incisions are stitched back up.

Generally speaking, surgical face lifts are expensive procedures that may not be within everyone’s budget however there are other options to explore such as a non-surgical face lift.

Wrinkle reduction & Face lift without surgery

A non-surgical face lift helps to combat the effects of ageing and sagging skin by regenerating and providing an uplifting effect to the face. More importantly, a younger-looking appearance can be achieved without any surgical treatments and almost no side effects. In other words, a face lift without surgery is a less invasive procedure that can give you natural looking results with minimal downtime and it is one of the safest and most effective choices for those who wish to address skin laxity.

How Does a Non-surgical Face Lift Work?

During the non-surgical face lift procedure a suture is placed under the skin using a needle and is held in place with bidirectional absorbable cones. This is then followed up by a slight pressure being applied to reshape the area.

The lifting effect of a non-surgical face lift is immediate, and the skin is regenerated overtime through new collagen production.
