A Non-Invasive Laser Facelift Close to Home Can Restore Your Youth and Confidence
Have you noticed increasingly more celebrities who don’t seem to age but swear they’ve never had cosmetic surgery? What’s their secret? They’ve likely benefitted from a non-invasive facelift. At Everglow Medical Spa in Cincinnati, we’re proud to offer this laser skin lift for the face. If you want exceptional results without the complications of a surgical procedure, look at what this anti-aging laser treatment entails and the results you can expect. But first, see how the Fotona4D® facelifting procedure compares with its surgical counterpart.
The Facts About Conventional Facelifts
Some patients opt for traditional facelift surgery for various reasons. For instance, it provides long lasting effects with little (or no) maintenance. However, facial rejuvenation involving surgery requires anesthesia and much recovery time. Surgical patients also must restrict their activities during post-procedure healing.
Moreover, any surgery has downsides, such as the inability to correct damage from sun exposure and aging. There are also incision scars to consider. The surgeon will use the natural hairline and facial contours to hide any scars, but they may become raised after the procedure. There are also slight risks of infection, hair loss at the incision line, possible nerve injury, or hematoma, a collection of blood under the skin.
An Affordable Alternative to Facelifts in the Cincinnati Area
Suppose the side effects and potential risks are too significant to overlook. In that case, you can turn to a laser-based facial treatment in your hometown that delivers equivalent results without surgical complications or downtime. A Fotona4D® Facelifting procedure can target the mouth and other facial areas, using a laser to increase the amount of collagen to tighten your skin, reduce wrinkles, and smooth out the texture.
While other clinics and spas use laser machines that target the skin from the outside, Everglow Medical Spa’s Fotona 4D works from the outside and inside, delivering treatment in four steps:
- Step 1 delivers laser energy inside the mouth and around the jawline to boost collagen production, smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
- Step 2 focuses on the folds, deep-set lines, and areas of hyperpigmentation.
- Step 3 involves a brushing method to deliver heat that firms and lifts the skin.
- Step 4 removes dead skin cells and corrects flaws on the skin’s surface.
One laser facelifting session takes 30-45 minutes, with little to no downtime needed to recover. While the procedure is generally comfortable, some patients may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with topical anesthesia or cooling techniques.
When Will I See the Results?
The Fotona 4D Facelift enhances elasticity, tightens skin, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines. While you may notice some changes right away, the more significant results will occur over the next 2-3 months, with improvements continuing for 9-10 months after your final treatment.
To get noticeable results, you will need more than one non-surgical facelift appointment. Your provider may recommend one session per decade of your life, spaced several weeks apart. For example, if you are 50 years old, you might schedule five treatments. You can also come in for touch-up sessions once or twice a year to maintain your new look.
FAQs About Non-Surgical Facelifts
How is a laser facelift different from a surgical one?
A surgical facelift is more invasive and produces more dramatic results than a non-surgical laser procedure. Surgery involves cutting in the face to tighten the skin of the face and neck. It might even require the transfer of fat to parts of the face. While laser treatment produces more temporary results, it doesn’t come with surgical complications or the need for recovery.
Who makes a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift?
If you notice early signs of aging and they concern you, a non-surgical facelift might be a suitable way to achieve a more youthful look. In particular, this approach can help you if you have thin lips, sagging skin around the jawline, frown lines and other wrinkles, or sunken cheeks.
Even if I’m a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift, what are the risks?
Although a laser facelift is generally safe, it helps to be aware of the potential risks, which are typically minor. Possible side effects include blisters, bruises, itchy or dry skin, peeling, redness, and swelling. In rare cases, bleeding and infection may occur.
What conditions or factors rule out a non-surgical facelift?
You should ask your skincare provider about other options if you have active acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, or skin burns from radiation therapy. Also, you may not get the results you want if you have deep wrinkles or sagging skin that’s extremely loose.
