What Is a Nonsurgical Facelift?
A nonsurgical facelift is a noninvasive or minimally invasive procedure used to refresh, firm, or plump the skin on the face without the need for large incisions, general anesthesia, or an overnight hospital stay.
A typical cosmetic surgery facelift — also known as a rhytidectomy — involves making cuts to tighten the skin on your face and neck. Sometimes excess skin, fat, and muscles need to be moved around for a successful facelift surgery. Most often, general anesthesia and an overnight hospital stay are needed.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Nonsurgical Facelift?
Many men and women are perfect candidates for a nonsurgical facelift. If you want to feel better about yourself and have certain aesthetic goals you want to achieve or concerns you’d like to address, consider a nonsurgical facelift treatment.
Speaking with the providers at Renew Aesthetic & Laser Clinic is the best way to know if a nonsurgical facelift is right for you. If you have deep wrinkles, extremely loose skin, or some medical conditions, our team of professionals can help point you in the direction of a treatment that might be a better fit.
Benefits of Nonsurgical Facelifts
A major and obvious benefit of nonsurgical facelifts is avoiding the big cosmetic surgery (with an even bigger price tag) that is a traditional facelift. However, nonsurgical facelifts offer even more perks, including:
- Firming the skin
- Stimulating new collagen and elastin growth
- Enhancing volume
- Improving skin tone and texture
- Reducing wrinkles, creases, and lines
- Lifting sagging skin
- Creating a more youthful look
- A quick recovery
3 Nonsurgical Facelift Options
There is not one singular one-size-fits-all nonsurgical facelift procedure on the market. Instead, because every person’s skin is different and they have different goals and concerns, there are a handful of great nonsurgical facelift options available.
Renew’s award-winning team is up-to-date on the latest technologies and offers the most state-of-the-art equipment — from the only Lutronic Center for Excellence in the PNW — to perform many procedures successfully. If you’re unsure which nonsurgical facelift option might be best for you, schedule a consultation with our team.
#1: Injectables
Injectables are a great way to achieve similar results as a facelift without going through an invasive procedure.
At Renew, we offer a handful of injectable options:
- Neurotoxins: This treatment option relaxes targeted muscles to prevent and treat dynamic wrinkles through three FDA-approved brands — Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. The results depend on efficacy and dose, which will be determined by your injector at your initial consultation.
- HA Dermal Fillers: This treatment option is used to achieve facial contouring, restore lost facial volume, and improve the look of static wrinkles through three FDA-approved brands — Juvederm, Restylane, and Ravenesse Versa. Your goals will help determine which brand is best for you.
- Biostimulatory: This is another hyaluronic acid dermal filler option used for facial contouring, replacing lost facial volume, and improving static wrinkles. Biostimulatory injections are similar to HA dermal fillers and, depending on the target area, different brands are used.
#2: Lasers and Devices
A handful of treatments using lasers and devices can help achieve smooth, radiant skin without undergoing invasive cosmetic surgery.
At Renew, we offer a handful of laser treatment options, including:
- Hollywood Spectra: This laser peel option is designed to create lightened, fresh, and glowing skin that appears smooth and radiant.
- Clarity II: This treatment removes hair, pigment, and vascular lesions using light and heat energy. It produces new skin cells and removes damaged cells by increasing collagen production and encouraging skin cell turnover.
- LaseMD Ultra: This FDA-approved treatment option helps with sun damage, fine lines, rough or irregular skin texture, hyperpigmentation, freckles, signs of aging, and actinic keratosis.
- Sofwave: This ultrasound device works on fine lines, wrinkles, tightening, and lifting using high-frequency beams that propagate through the tissue of the skin.
- IntraCel RF Microneedling: This treatment delivers radiofrequency energy to selective skin depths to treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne, laxity, stretch marks, and scars by stimulating collagen production.
- DermaLight: This treatment is best for treating vascular lesions and pigmented lesions, all while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
- LaseMD Pro: This FDA-approved therapy option uses targeted heat to treat sun damage, age spots, freckles, actinic keratosis, pigmented lesions, and freckles.
#3: Esthetician Services
Don’t write off our many popular esthetician services to achieve similar results as a surgical facelift.
At Renew, we offer:
- Microdermabrasion: This treatment exfoliates the outermost layer of skin to remove dead skin cells and impurities. It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and pores while enhancing skin radiance. The stimulation of collagen production results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
- Dermaplaning: This treatment uses a surgical scalpel to exfoliate the skin’s surface and remove dead skin cells and fine hair. The painless procedure is a great option for improving the texture and appearance of the skin.
- Chemical Peel: A chemical solution is applied during this treatment to remove damaged skin and dead skin cells. As a result, clients experience improved skin texture and tone, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion.
