Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments continue to rise in popularity as more women and men seek treatments that can effectively take years off their appearance without extensive downtime or recovery. One such treatment is the so-called nonsurgical facelift, which refers to a number of minimally invasive treatments aimed at tightening skin and reducing lines and wrinkles.
Many of Dr. Ezzat’s patients ask, “Do nonsurgical facelifts really work?” Here, Dr. Ezzat provides an in-depth look into what a nonsurgical facelift entails and what kinds of results you can expect.
What Is a Nonsurgical Facelift?
A nonsurgical facelift is a term used to describe minimally invasive treatments designed to address common signs of aging like sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles without the need for surgery. Unlike a traditional facelift, which involves incisions and the repositioning of underlying facial tissues, a nonsurgical facelift uses advanced technologies like radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser treatments to tighten and lift the skin. It may also use injectables like fillers or BOTOX® to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles.
What Are the Best Nonsurgical Facelift Treatments?
There are a number of effective nonsurgical treatment options for signs of facial aging. Some of the latest and most cutting-edge nonsurgical facelift options include:
- Agnes RF is a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that targets sagging skin, fat deposits and wrinkles. This device uses small needles to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Agnes RF is particularly effective for refining the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and lifting the eye area.
- Morpheus8 is another advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with the skin-tightening effects of radiofrequency energy. This treatment can be used on the face and body to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and tighten loose skin.
- FaceTite™ is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to contour and tighten the skin. This procedure involves the insertion of a small probe under the skin, which heats the tissue, stimulating collagen production and causing the skin to contract. FaceTite is often used to treat areas like the lower face and neck, helping to reduce sagging skin and create a more defined jawline.
- AccuTite™ is a smaller, more precise version of FaceTite, designed to treat delicate areas like the brows, under the eyes and around the mouth. This treatment uses the same radiofrequency technology to tighten skin and improve signs of aging.
Do Nonsurgical Facelifts Really Work?
Yes, nonsurgical facelift treatments can be effective at improving skin laxity, jowls, wrinkles and other signs of facial aging. However, it is important to understand that nonsurgical treatments are not going to achieve the same level of results as a surgical procedure like a facelift, neck lift or brow lift would. That said, if you are looking for a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment without extensive downtime or recovery, nonsurgical facelift options like Agnes RF and others can be worth considering.
