Non-Invasive Face Lift


We live in an era where we want everything at a lightening fast speed and with minimum efforts. Fad diets, losing a few pounds in a week, face lifts. All have become an inevitable part of the twenty first century world. Talking of face lifts, just like you have ready to eat packets, face lifts too have become that easy. Do not want an expansive, elaborate meal with 7 or 10 courses, you have a shorter version of it. Likewise, don't need an out-and-out surgical face lift? You have the weekend face lift or mini facelift, which is a non invasive facelift or there are some other procedures which help you get the same effect.

Non-Invasive Face Surgery

A number of non surgical face lift options await you when you research for it or speak to the concerned specialist. Needless to say this is a comparatively new breed of face lift procedures. Although the technique might be different, the core purpose of the technique is the same, to increase the production of collagen and to remodel to existing collagen. Amongst several such procedures, there are a couple of procedures which stand out. We will take a look at them.

Titan - The Incredible Infrared
This is one of those next generation face lifts which have come to the fore in the last few years. This is a light based technology, heating the deeper layer of the skin. Simply put, this method works on the collagen and reverses the signs of aging through light directed precisely in the concerned problem area. At the same time it protects the surface of the skin with continuous cooling of the skin. This process is believed to bring about decrease in wrinkles, leads to skin tightening and smoothens the skin on the face, neck and body. The appearance of deep lines on the forehead and around the eyes and tightening of sagging skin on the face, neck and jowls is brought about by this procedure.

Thermage - Radiance with Radio Frequency
Approved by the FDA in the early part of the decade of 2000, this method too fundamentally tightens the sagging skin in a non-invasive manner and the facial features are renewed. The tool for doing this is however, different from that used in Titan. In thermage, radio frequency is used for accentuating and enhancing the facial skin. Heat is again used to stimulate collagen and elastin growth on problem areas of the face and reduce wrinkles with this non-surgical facelift.

Other Options

These are the two popular methods when it comes to non surgical face lift. In addition to these you have an array of procedures. You have liquid face lifts, where injectable fillers are used to add volume to the skin and laser face lift is another option. Along with this, there is a micro current face lift procedure, where gentle electric currents are exposed to your face and other skin areas. It firms the facial muscles and rejuvenates the skin. Threadlift is another alternative you can consider but it is not as effective apparently as the others.

The non-invasive face lifts are pretty affordable compared to the proper surgical face lifts. Of course, within these procedures, too, the cost will vary depending on how extensive the process is going to be and which ones amongst these methods is chosen. Depending on that the costs vary between $500 to $5000 or in some cases even more.

Apart from the cost, the best part about the non-invasive face lift is that there are hardly any side effects. The recovery time too is negligible. Sometimes though, redness or swelling or skin blanching can be experienced.
