As we age, our skin begins losing its luster and shine due to a reduction in collagen, elastin, and fats. As a result, we suffer from sagging skin and a dull complexion and look years older than our actual age. Fortunately, with the skincare and cosmetic industry reaching new heights, there are numerous anti-aging treatments to look youthful.

Earlier surgical facelifts were the only option, but now individuals prefer non-surgical alternatives. A Non-Surgical Face Lift in Dubai is the perfect solution for individuals seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgical facelifts.

Difference between Surgical and Non-surgical Facelift?

The key difference between a surgical and non-surgical facelift is that a surgical facelift uses cuts to tighten the saggy skin while a non-surgical facelift is performed without any large incisions.

A surgical facelift is performed after the administration of general anesthesia, requiring you to stay at the hospital overnight. The procedure may involve the transfer of fat from a body part to the facial area to fill facial volume.

Non-surgical procedure temporarily refreshes and plumps your facial skin. These procedures use minimally invasive and non-surgical techniques to tighten the loose and saggy skin.

The mini facelift is a modified version of a non-surgical facelift that involves smaller incisions and less cutting of underlying tissues.

Dermal Fillers

The treatment involves the use of a soft gel that is injected into the cheeks, lips, temples, and under the eyes to fill up the lost volume.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is the most sought-after Non-Surgical Facelift that can tone and tighten the skin and make it appear youthful and rejuvenated.

A device called Ulthera is used, which emits ultrasonic waves and targets the sagging skin. It works by increasing collagen production, which plumps up the skin and eliminates aging signs.

Non-Ablative Lasers

Another popular treatment for a Non-Surgical Facelift is non-ablative lasers. ND: Yag Lasers have transformed the non-invasive skincare industry. The photo rejuvenation technique helps eliminate the skin’s topmost layer and regenerate a fresh layer. The gentle energy emitted by laser targets fine lines, redness, large pores, and dull-looking skin. As a result, the skin appears tighter, firmer, and younger-looking.

Thread lift

Threading facelift is another non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure to lift sagging skin. The treatment involves the use of medical-grade thread, which is inserted into the affected area. The saggy skin is then tightened by pulling up the thread.

A study in 2017 included viewpoints of 100 people who had undergone thread lift, and they responded that the skin appeared more structured and tighter.

Botox

Botox injection also known as botulinum toxin is an effective treatment option for tightening saggy facial skin. The injections can treat frown lines, forehead creases, and crows feet near the eyes.

Botox temporarily relaxes the forehead muscles, which leads to reduced facial wrinkles.

The results of Botox treatment can last up to three months.

Microdermabrasion

This needleless treatment sands away the top layer of skin with the help of a rough pad. The skin is exfoliated during the procedure which reduces the appearance of fine lines, mild scars, and other skin concerns.

You may need several treatments at regular intervals to get the desired results of a facelift.

Dermabrasion

This treatment involves the use of tiny needles to cause micro punctures in your skin. As a response to this, the body produces more collagen and elastin which tightens the skin.

In a few treatment sessions, you can improve loose skin, large pores, and sun damage.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a non-surgical treatment based on topical solutions. The top layer of skin is removed which exposes a fresh, young, and vibrant skin tone.

Apart from tightening saggy skin, chemical peels can also improve large pores and facial wrinkles.

Laser Treatments

Laser resurfacing is another effective treatment option for a non-surgical facelift. The laser beam targets the facial skin to remove the outer layer.

The heat of the laser also stimulates collagen production which gives you a youthful look.

Micro-needling Radiofrequency

This treatment works on skin texture and refines open pores. Usually, the patients need up to 4 treatment sessions to achieve the desired results.

To achieve better results, your dermatologist may also recommend cocktails of vitamins and antioxidants to maximize the results.

Carboxytherapy

This treatment involves the infusion of CO2 in the middle layer of the skin to reduce the oxygen supply to the affected area. It is called the “State of hypoxia” and it stimulates the brain to send more blood and nutrients to that area.

The increased supply of blood and nutrients leads to the rejuvenation of the skin and increased collagen production, which tightens the skin.

You may need a couple of treatment sessions to achieve the desired results.

Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis is a fat-freezing technique usually performed to get rid of excess fat under the chin. The treated area is held between two paddles of a device which cools down the fat until the fat cells break down. The treatment helps you achieve a defined jawline and get rid of excessive facial fat.

HIFU Technology

High-intensity focused ultrasound is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. Collagen production leads to the tightening of the skin. The treatment is usually performed to reduce the appearance of a double chin.
