For individuals in their 30s and upward who want to turn back the clock on facial aging without undergoing surgery, our non-surgical facelift procedures can deliver noticeable results. They can tighten loose skin, increase elastin and collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Unlike creams, these treatments leave no puncture wound or incision and work to lift the skin from the inside out. They are often referred to as lifting lasers.
Silhouette Thread Lift
Silhouette Thread Lift is a non-surgical option for lifting sagging skin, defining contours and restoring volume to the face. It uses a fine needle to place re-absorbable suture threads in targeted areas of the face, creating immediate tightening and contouring. It also stimulates collagen production for ongoing facial rejuvenation.
A topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area before the sutures are inserted. The cone-shaped sutures grab onto fatty tissue and muscle, giving an instant lift. The treatment can correct nasolabial folds, moderate facial skin laxity, and a drooping chin.
The threads used in Silhouette are made from biocompatible synthetic polymers. These are a combination of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). They’re absorbed and metabolised by the body, leaving no permanent particles in the skin. As a result, the threads provide a natural appearance that will last for 18 months to 2 years.
NovaThreads
NovaThreads is a less invasive alternative to surgical facelift treatments. The procedure uses smooth, twisted and barbed PDO threads to lift facial skin and stimulate collagen production for lasting results. The threads can be inserted into the skin using a needle or cannula, which allows for quick and painless treatment. The procedure can be completed in 30 to 45 minutes, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.삼성동피부과
Novathreads are made from polydioxanone, a material that is often used in biomedical applications and has been proven to be safe for human use. During the procedure, the skin is numb and a thin needle or cannula is used to insert the NovaThreads beneath the skin.
The barbs on the NovaThreads lift sagging facial tissues and recreate the natural scaffolding of collagen, which helps keep the skin firm and tight. Once the NovaThreads dissolve, the body’s natural healing process will take over and produce new collagen strands to maintain the lifting effects.온다리프팅
S-Lift
The S-Lift is a minimally invasive facelift that provides a more natural facial contour, a tighter jaw line and improved neck definition. It is also a less expensive option than traditional facelift techniques.
The procedure is performed under twilight anesthesia. An arrow S-shaped incision is made in the area just in front of the ears and a strip of skin is lifted along with underlying muscles and tissues. The excess fat is removed or repositioned and the skin incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
Patients who may benefit from the S-Lift include women and men in their 40s with early signs of aging and mild to moderate sagging of the lower face or neck. This procedure can delay the need for a full facelift and provide natural-looking results that last several years.
The S-lift is performed through a small incision hidden within the natural creases of the ears and around the hairline, which minimizes scarring. It is a great alternative to traditional facelifts and can be combined with other procedures, such as a corset platysmaplasty, skin resurfacing, or fat augmentation.
Mini-Lift
The Mini-Lift is a surgical procedure that tightens the muscles and skin around the jawline, chin and neck to reduce loose aging facial features. It’s a good option for people who want subtle improvements to their face and neck that are more cost-effective and less invasive than a traditional full facelift.
This minimally invasive outpatient facelift at Contour Dermatology’s AAAASF accredited surgical suite under twilight anesthesia lifts and reverses early signs of aging, such as jowling and sagging of the skin. It also defines the jawline and removes excess fat, leaving the patient with a youthful appearance.
The mini-facelift is best for light to moderate aging of the cheeks and jowls. However, it’s important to note that a full facelift is required to address more severe aging symptoms, such as a deep crease and fully formed jowls. In addition, if the neck area is affected by prominent aging folds, a neck lift (also known as platysmal plication) might be necessary to complete the freshening process.
