Are your good looks beginning to show the common signs of aging?   

Sagging cheeks, deep crow’s feet, or even a neck ‘wattle’  can add decades to your appearance, and your skin won’t ‘bounce back’ like it used to as you age. Face lift surgery is one option for restoring your youthful looks, but now doctors and anti-aging specialists are finding new ways to restructure the face so you don’t have to go under the knife.   

James Zins, MD and author of a study on the results and benefits of a neck lift states; "Not every patient who seeks to correct facial aging wants or requires a facelift. Today's patients are extremely active and may not want to undergo invasive surgery where they are unable to work or play for several weeks. With this alternative, many patients look younger without the financial cost and downtime associated with a standard facelift." (Source: MedicalNewsToday) 

From the liquid facelift to microcurrent facials here are some of the best options for getting a face lift without surgery:  

Liquid Facelifts:  The ‘Liquid Facelift’ is becoming a popular treatment option for many people who want to join the growing trend of BOTOX and Restylane injections for facial rejuvenation.  These ‘facelifts’ are actually a series of dermal fillers and collagen injections that can reshape and contour the face.  Plastic and cosmetic surgeons can target key areas of the face to create a smooth and contoured appearance.  

Thermage: Thermage skin tightening treatments are becoming a popular alternative to surgery for several reasons. First, Thermage works by improving the texture and tone of the skin without any downtime. Secondly, Thermage helps the body naturally rebuild collagen – the essential fiber needed for healthy, supple and youthful-looking skin – and the body will continue to build fresh collagen at a rapid rate for weeks after the initial treatment. Finally, Thermage uses innovative technology to treat specific areas of the face, creating a natural, contoured appearance.  

Microcurrent Facials: Microcurrent technology offers antoher solution for stimulating the facial muscles and improving the tone and texture of the skin overall. Microcurrent facial treatments make use of electric energy waves to reach deep within the skin’s layers; these cause the facial muscles to contract while increasing blood flow to key areas of the face. A series of microcurrent facials may be an effective way to freshen up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and patches of sagging skin.  

Laser Resurfacing Treatments: Laser resurfacing is commonly used as a facial rejuvenation technique as it helps remove the top layer of skin and stimulates collagen production underneath. A series of laser resurfacing treatments can help improve the texture and tone of the skin overall, and may reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the process. 

Laser resurfacing treatments are particularly effective for reducing crow’s feet, nasolabial folds and may even treat frown lines. Nonsurgical facelifts are a valuable option for people who want to avoid the pain and costs of extensive surgery. 

While the conventional facelift offers several benefits, the downtime and healing process involved may be incompatible with your busy schedule.
