Did you know that more than 131,000 people in the United States get a facelift every year? If you are looking for less invasive facelift options, we are here to help you out. This short guide shares types of face lifts that are not as invasive, but will help make your face tighter and give you a more youthful look.
Read on to learn more about these options, including some non-surgical face lifts.
1. Mini Face Lift
This facelift option is a great choice if you prefer surgery with shorter incisions and a quicker recovery time. There might be some light swelling and light bruising, but it is not as noticeable as the bruising and swelling that comes with getting a full facelift.
Only local anesthetic and twilight sedation are needed, vs. needing general anesthesia. Twilight anesthesia helps reduce the side effects that general anesthesia causes, such as vomiting or nausea.
With a mini facelift, the results are a little less dramatic because it is not as invasive. This is a great choice for moderate and light aging of the skin on the face.
2. PDO Thread Lift
Opting for a PDO thread lift offers plenty of benefits. There are fine threads that are created temporarily under the skin to help create a lift or pull the skin upwards. This can really make a huge difference for a sagging jawline.
You will experience minimal pain because the procedure is not as invasive. There is also a low recovery timeframe of only three to five days of slight swelling and reddening disappearing.
Keep in mind that this facelift option is best for treating preliminary signs of aging. It is not as effective in severe aging faces.
3. Ultherapy
This is a non-invasive procedure that will help lift the neck, face, and décolletage area with very little downtime. The technician performing the treatment uses ultrasound energy to help boost the natural production of elastin and collagen.
Ultherapy is a perfect option when you are dealing with sagging along the lower face or when you have lost a lot of your own natural elasticity in your jawline. This can also help improve puffiness around the eyes and help lift the brow area.
This treatment option is best for those going through early skin sagging. It is also a great way to prevent sagging and drooping in the face. Ultherapy uses higher temperatures on the skin, so it is able to give more noticeable results than other non-invasive facelift options.
