Facelifts Without Surgery? Yes, They Really Exist!

FACELIFTS WITHOUT SURGERY

Everyone wants to look young and refreshed - but few people relish the thought of undergoing surgery. The risks of going under general anesthesia, and the recovery time involving several weeks of looking bruised and swollen, are a major deterrent for people who are considering a face lift.

Thanks to advances in medical technology, there are now many safe, non-invasive methods of achieving a much more youthful appearance.

Injectable fillers are one very popular way to achieve dramatic results.

In the old days, only collagen was available. It didn't work well for deep hollows or nasio-labal folds or anywhere that needs a lot of volume. And it generally vanished within weeks, requiring frequent, expensive, painful touch-ups. No wonder medical experts sought to develop better, more effective alternatives.

Now there are a number of longer-lasting injectable facial fillers which can fill in hollowed out areas, and even raise cheekbones. These fillers can plump thinning lips, fill in acne scars, and provide marvelous results for patients. Restylane and Juvenal are two of these; there are many more available.

Advanced facial peels are also a newer alternative that can strip away fine lines and sun-blotched skin, leaving skin smooth, line-free, and soft and supple rather than dull.

Laser facial resurfacing and phenol peels both will require local anesthesia and will leave skin looking sunburned for a few weeks, but the results are quite dramatic and noticeable. There is some minor risk of scarring or skin pigmentation changes, so be sure to have the procedure done by a qualified doctor, dermatologist, or anesthesiologist who is board certified and has done the procedure many times.

These are just a few of the low-risk alternatives to facelifts that are available to today's seeker of youthful, dramatic appearances. Dramatic results can be achieved without surgery!
