Suddenly you notice you look older, wrinkles are apparent and your skin has aged. You have been considering a face lift but you are not ready to undergo a surgery. Fortunately, there are a number of non-surgical face lift alternatives that you can choose, and these alternatives also give the same results as the traditional face lift surgery. Some are done in a Texas face lift surgery center while some can be done as a quick facelift in the home.
Alternatives/Non Surgical Face Lift
Laser face lift. This procedure, as the name suggests, uses laser beams to take out the outer layer of the skin to surface a smooth and fresh looking new skin. Laser is also used to target areas where collagen concentration is needed for a firmer and strong skin. This is known as collagen matrix.
Micro current face lift. The surgeon employs the use of a device to send weak electric current to the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin for firming. Also, a very notable advantage of this procedure is that all skin types and skin color can avail of this non-invasive face lift procedure.
Thermage or thermal face lift. The procedure uses extreme heat from radio frequency to loosen the skin and disturb the collagen matrix of the skin. This process will strengthen as well as firm up your skin. Moreover, this procedure is also very effective in removing wrinkles and yields poor results on those deep creases in your face.
Liquid Fillers. This involves injecting one or more types of liquid fillers into the determined problem areas. Wrinkles on the forehead, surrounding the eyes and the mouth are the usual wrinkle location targets for injection. Usually, this type of face lift alternative is only for the less severe problems. Some examples of liquid fillers are Botox, Restylane and Sculptra. Sculptra is expected to last up to two years and was proven in studies to help in the production of collagen in the skin.
Face lift Creams. There are a number of facial creams that may remedy your problem. Well known brands such as Johnson & Johnson, Clinique and many others offer these creams. You may also surf the Internet for these products.
Volumetric facelift. This treats skin laxity and loss of volume. This procedure replaces fat in specific areas, removing fat and then tightening the skin to reverse the signs of aging. This technique is a relatively simple surgical procedure and can provide more natural results to certain patients.
Vitamins and Nutritional Supplements. Similar to beauty creams and other facial creams, there are also a lot of nutritional supplements and vitamins in the market today. Most of these are also termed as anti-oxidants that will remove or free up free radicals in the body particularly the skin. Certain vitamins such as Vitamin A and E are the most commonly recommended.
