More people are wanting to refresh their appearance and stay looking younger for longer.
But where once invasive surgery was the only option, the increase in non-surgical skin treatments means that you no longer have to go under the knife to rejuvenate your face.
The non-surgical facelift or facial harmonisation is growing in popularity and for good reason.
It is a custom treatment that uses both dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment to lift, sculpt and improve the proportions of your face.
If you are still deciding between a traditional facelift and a nonsurgical facelift, maybe we can help.
Minimal downtime and natural-looking results are just two of the benefits of a non-surgical facelift.
But there are many other reasons why this minimally invasive alternative is becoming the go-to choice for those wanting to achieve a more youthful appearance.
We break down the what’s, why’s and how’s behind a non-surgical facelift.
If you want to ask us a question in-person, why not get in touch below.
What is a non-surgical facelift?
In simple terms, a non-surgical facelift is the best way to see lifted, plump and more youthful skin without going under the knife.
It is a non-invasive treatment that helps to enhance facial contours and sculpt your face while also embracing your natural beauty
. What’s more, you get all this without the long recovery times and risk of scarring.
At Derma Aesthetics London, we combine dermal filler treatments with anti-wrinkle treatment.
This is because they work well together to help tackle different cosmetic concerns.
For example, fillers help to add volume to sunken areas and anti-wrinkle treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
We recommend a non-surgical facelift to:
· Restore lost volume in the cheeks, under eye area and jawline
· Minimise fine lines and deep wrinkles in many areas of the face such as nasolabial folds or crow’s feet
· To sharpen or soften facial contours including the chin and jawline
· Improve skin texture and skin tone (increased hydration)
Our skin loses elasticity as we get older, so another benefit of facial harmonisation treatment is that it can kick-start collagen production.
More specifically, dermal fillers can help to lift and firm sagging skin or loose skin over time.
Five benefits of a non-surgical facelift (and why you should choose it over a surgical procedure)
There is no denying that a traditional surgical facelift can give you dramatic results.
But what if you do not want a drastic change or something that is more permanent and hard to reverse?
This is where a non-surgical facelift has its advantages.
Here are 5 reasons to choose a nonsurgical facelift for facial rejuvenation:
- Minimal downtime
A surgical facelift treatment requires a few weeks of healing and time off work.
If you want to see visible results and get back to your normal activities immediately, non-surgical treatments are a better option.
- Less risks and complications
A non-surgical option does not require a general anaesthetic or the need for incisions.
This means there are fewer risks (when performed by an aesthetic doctor).
- You can customise non-surgical treatments
We can tailor every treatment to your facial features and facial anatomy.
This means it will complement your natural beauty and give you subtle improvements to your face.
- More affordable
Unless you have extra money saved for a surgical procedure, minimally invasive procedures cost less, but still provide amazing results.
- No scarring
Need we say more? Because we use a fine needle to inject your treatments, there will be no incisions or stitches.
This means no ugly scars afterwards, just a fresh and youthful appearance.
What happens during non-surgical facial rejuvenation?
The first step is to come in for an initial consultation.
This is where Dr Raja will assess your skin condition and skin quality, your medical history, and talk to you about your goals.
From this appointment, we will develop a personalised treatment plan to help you look and feel your best.
Facial harmonisation treatment
Here is a step-by-step guide on how we perform this non-surgical treatment.
1. Administer anti-wrinkle injections
This helps to relax your facial muscles and smooth out fine lines around the eyes, forehead and eyebrows.
These take up to two weeks for the results to show.
At this point we will move onto the dermal fillers part of the treatment.
2. Dermal fillers
Depending on where you are having your anti-wrinkle injections, we may not be able to do your dermal fillers treatment in the same session.
This is because we want the anti-wrinkle treatment to do its job.
But by relaxing the muscles, we can also see the full extent at which you have lost volume in your face.
We use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.
These help to restore volume and lift areas where you have moderate skin laxity issues. This includes the cheeks, chin, jawline and under eyes.
3. Additional treatments
This is an optional part of the treatment and will depend on your current skin issues and desired goals.
You will need to wait at least two weeks before having any other treatments.
Following the injections portion of the non-surgical facelift, we may also recommend laser skin resurfacing (CO2 laser).
This will help boost skin tightening and improve your overall skin health and skin texture.
Who is a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift?
You may be a good candidate for a nonsurgical facelift if you:
· Are starting to notice loose skin, wrinkles and volume loss
· You want a minimally invasive treatment that provides great results
· You want a subtle and more natural enhancement
· You do not want to undergo surgery
Most of our patients see immediate improvements in their skin after a non-surgical facelift.
However, your results will continue to get better over the next few weeks as your skin responds to the treatments.
