What are the Benefits of a Non-Surgical Facelift
You may have begun to show visible signs of aging on your face. A common culprit is the loss of collagen in the tissues. As we get older, collagen production slows, which can lead to weaker facial tissue and volume loss. If this occurs, you can begin to develop sagging skin or a hollow, dull appearance. In the past, it was only thought that a surgical facelift could restore the youthful contours of your face, but this is no longer the case. Dr. Calabria’s revolutionary non-surgical facelift is designed to provide patients with amazing age-reversing results without the negative side effects of a surgical facelift.
What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
Dr. Calabria’s modern non-surgical facelift uses a patient’s own adult stem cells to rejuvenate the face. To achieve these proven, outstanding results, patient fat is harvested via liposuction and preserved in a sterile container. The fat cells are then broken down through an enzymatic process, and the adult stem cells are harvested. The adult stem cells consist of regenerative cells that help create new blood vessels and secrete growth factors.
The final step in a non-surgical facelift is injecting the stem cells into various areas of the face via micro-cannulas. The stem cells stimulate cellular turnover and regeneration. Over time, new cells will form in your facial tissue that tighten skin, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost volume.
Surgical Facelift vs. Non-Surgical Facelift
A surgical facelift creates long incisions in the hairline, and the skin is separated from the muscular layer. The deep facial tissues are then lifted vertically and held in place with internal sutures. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining tissue is draped to highlight the new contours of the face. When this technique is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, it can provide many patients with the results they desire. However, it can leave a long, visible scar, and the procedure has an extensive recovery period.
Non-surgical facelifts are designed to use tiny incisions sparingly, which results in minimal, if any, scarring. The recovery period is significantly shorter following a non-surgical facelift. The largest benefit for many patients is the slimming effect it has on other areas of the body. Since the non-surgical facelift uses patient fat harvested via liposuction, most people gain a noticeable improvement in the contours of their body. Common areas of improvement include the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Your Non-Surgical Facelift Results
It is important to know that not every patient is an ideal candidate for the non-surgical facelift. Achieving beautiful, flawless results is dependent on you being a good patient for the procedure. Candidates with too little fat stores or severe facial sagging are not ideal candidates for a non-surgical facelift. It is important to have a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Calabria to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
