Non Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

Many face-lift candidates should seriously consider alternatives to surgery. Over the age of 50, men and women are more likely to experience longer recovery times, higher risks and added pain. As we age, the skin grows thinner and the immune system may grow weaker. This combination has made many face-lift candidates consider less-invasive solutions for firmer-looking skin.

Advanced technology has allowed aestheticians and certified technicians to perform non-invasive cosmetic procedures without the pain, risk and recovery time associated with plastic surgery. Laser energy plays an important part in the face-lift alternatives available today. RF and infrared light are easy to control and enable the technician to reach pinpoint accuracy levels in all his or her treatments.

Collagen-Building Face-Lift Alternatives

At the core of most new face-lift alternatives is the concept that tighter, firmer and healthier-looking skin comes from within. Of course, it's a good idea to drink plenty of water, eat fruits and vegetables, and exercise, but it's as important to rebuild the connective tissues found just under the epidermal layer.

In alternative skin-care treatments like Titan and Thermage, laser energy is used to heat up the dermis, found several layers under the epidermal surface. At the same time, the epidermis is protected using a cooling spray or hand-held device. When the connective tissues are exposed to heat, they contract. This causes the surface area to tighten, and it stimulates the growth of healthy new collagen and elastin underneath. Many people see results immediately, while others see results in around six weeks as the tissues continue to grow.
