The goal of a facelift is to reduce the signs of aging in your face so you look younger and revitalized. During this surgical procedure, incisions are made on each side of your face, your skin and the underlying tissues are separated, excess fat is removed, and your skin is repositioned to create a smoother, firmer look.
The results are good, but the surgery requires full anesthesia and months of recovery. You may not even experience complete healing and final results until up to a year later.
What if you could get the same results, but without the surgery and extended recovery time? This is exactly what we offer at Skin Med Spa: a mini-facelift with no surgery. We combine several procedures that lift, tighten, and smooth your face so you drop years from your face.
The exact procedures we do will depend on your individual situation, but here are a few potential techniques:
If you feel like the face staring back at you in the mirror has a lot of sagging, loose skin, PDO threads can help. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads not only help lift and tighten your skin, but they also stimulate your body’s natural healing and immune response, ultimately producing new collagen and elastin to help your skin look young and smooth.
OPUS Plasma is a cutting-edge procedure that rejuvenates your skin using high-frequency unipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology. Tiny metal pins cause minute injuries to your skin, after which RF voltage around the pins produces a plasma-like energy that resurfaces your skin, leaving it looking smooth and young.
Microneedling is a similar process, where tiny injuries caused by small needles stimulate collagen production, leaving your skin firmer and more even in texture, tone, and color. It can also help tighten your sagging skin and fade out other scars and marks on your face.
A couple more services we provide that can be part of a mini-facelift are injectables and fillers. Injectables such as Jeuveau® and Botox®, along with a good dermal filler such as Juvéderm®, help relax your facial muscles, smooth out wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance the contours of your face.
These nonsurgical treatment options give you natural-looking facelift-type results with advanced technology, minimal downtime, reduced cost, and the ability to customize the treatment to exactly what you need.
