Who among us does not wish to have a smooth and firm face full of vitality and freshness?

What are non-surgical facelifts?

Non-surgical facelifts are minimally invasive techniques used to temporarily treat facial sagging. They do not require general anesthesia or making incisions in the skin as happens in surgical operations. The most important candidates for these operations are:

• Ladies and men over the age of 18 who are non-smokers.
• Treating cases of simple and moderate sagging skin only.
• Who does not suffer from outbreaks of sores on the skin, psoriasis, burns, or rashes.
• Who suffers from hollows under the eyes, sunken cheeks, or expression lines on the sides of the mouth and in the corners of the eyes.

Why choose a face lift without surgery?

There are many advantages that make you choose a non-surgical facelift compared to traditional surgical procedures, the most important of which are:

• A very effective method in treating mild to moderate facial sagging.
• A natural way to stimulate both collagen and elastin to increase facial radiance.
• There is no need for complete anesthesia, rather the doctor only administers local anesthesia.
• A non-surgical face lift session does not cause pain at all, as it relies on minimally invasive techniques.
• Discharge from the session on the same day, unlike surgical procedures that require staying in the hospital for follow-up.
• The recovery period is very short and you can return to normal life within a week while adhering to the doctor’s recommendations.
• More natural results than surgical procedures that cause scars and wounds resulting from the surgical incision.
• There are many options that suit various cases, such as Botox injections, HIFU, and cosmetic laser.
• There are no serious complications or severe side effects, but the results appear after a short period of time with good skin care.
• The cost of non-surgical techniques is much lower than surgical lift operations, which gives many different types of cases the opportunity for cosmetic treatment to get rid of facial sagging.

Types of facelift operations without surgery

Let us get to know the most important types of non-surgical tightening operations. Some of them are old and some are modern and advanced techniques. The doctor usually chooses the operation or technique that is most appropriate for the case, and the most important of them are: 

Face lift with threads

Face lift with threads It is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that helps improve the appearance and tightening of facial skin, using a type of absorbable thread that is inserted under the skin to lift damaged tissue and stimulate collagen production. This method requires a long recovery period and its results are not permanent, and the percentage of use of this technique decreased completely after the advent of laser and other techniques.

Face lift with Botox

As for the Botox injection technique, it is a non-surgical session that relies on injecting botulinum toxin into some hollow areas of the face, such as the cheeks, chin, and forehead, to fill the gaps caused by sagging. It also helps to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, which helps in tightening the skin. The results of this technique last from 3 to 6 months.

Face lift with needles 

Acupuncture injections, such as mesotherapy or platelet-rich plasma injections, help stimulate collagen and treat wrinkles temporarily. This technique moisturizes the skin and gives it a more youthful and radiant appearance, but its results do not last more than 6 months. It is a temporary treatment and requires repeated injections.

HIFU face lift

The HIFU device tightens the skin using intense ultrasound waves to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin necessary to renew damaged cells. It penetrates the deep layers of the skin and works to tighten the skin and reduce minor and medium wrinkles without the need for a surgical procedure. The results last without surgery with HIFU for a year or more depending on the care and follow-up of the sessions.

Laser face lift

Laser tightening is one of the best and most successful methods of tightening the skin without surgery, due to the tremendous development in the types of cosmetic laser devices that seek to solve all skin problems such as sagging, wrinkles, pigmentation, darkening, and many others, which makes it a pioneer and distinguished in this field, to the point that cosmetic clinics are now not devoid of advanced cosmetic laser devices.

There are a variety of laser tightening devices, including the Fractional Laser, the Carbon Laser, the Erbium Laser (ER:YAG), and most recently the advanced Endolift device that works with precise laser energy to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, treat and regenerate damaged tissues, which helps tighten skin that suffers from minor and moderate sagging.

How to tighten the face without needles

A face lift can be done without needles through a laser device, as we mentioned above, which works by directing intense laser light energy onto the skin to penetrate the deep layers of the skin, which enhances the regeneration of damaged cells and gives the skin a brighter appearance. Its results also last for more than a year, and it is a safe and effective alternative to injecting needles into the face.
