Instant facelifts are an effective strategy for skin tightening and improving facial features. This article provides information about non-surgical procedures.
Instant Facelifts and Skin Rejuvenation
Facelifts can always be done surgically if one has the finances, doesn’t fear surgical procedures, and doesn’t have problems with the recovery time necessary. There are, however, non-surgical facelift alternatives that can accomplish skin tightening and improve the facial skin’s appearance. Non-surgical alternatives aren’t as costly and don’t require painful recovery time.
Thermage is popular non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment. Thermage uses heat to stimulate collagen growth in problem facial areas. Thermage treatment usually takes about an hour. Any minor side effects generally disappear in a few days.
Laser facelifts are another popular option because they are non-invasive and effective. With laser technology dermatologists can resurface and tighten the skin’s outer layers, leaving patients with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Another alternative is the Microcurrent facelift. This procedure is effective and cost efficient. During the procedure, gentle electric currents are used to stimulate cellular reaction that produces collagen, exfoliates and rejuvenates the facial skin, tightens the facial muscles and reduces sun damage, giving overall improvement in skin tone.
One of the most popular facial rejuvenation treatments is the injection of Botox. According to the medical experts in an article from MedicinePlus, Botox is drug made from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Dermatologists can inject it in small doses, however, to temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, and the effects last three to four months.
An increasingly popular non-invasive treatment for facial rejuvenation is injectable dermal fillers which plump up the skin from the inside out. Such injections fill in wrinkles, restore facial fullness, and re-contour facial features, improving the appearance of the aging face. Dermal filler options include dermal fillers such Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and others. With the exception of some initial redness and possible slight swelling, recovery time is minimal.
