People often say that they feel younger than they look. If your aging face has started to have a negative impact on your self-esteem, it might be time to consider a facelift. A professional facelift can help you appear younger, so you get back the confidence you deserve.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure that aims to give the patient a more youthful appearance. The procedure focuses on both the face and the neck and can reduce:
- Sagging skin in the face
- The fat that has disappeared or fallen
- Deep lines around the nose and mouth
- Jowls
- Double chins or sagging necks
There are usually two types of facelifts: a full facelift or a “mini” facelift. The mini facelift offers less dramatic results but can be an excellent choice for people who have minor issues or don’t want to commit to more extensive surgery.
What Are the Benefits of a Facelift?
A facelift has several benefits, including lifting and tightening skin, removing excess fat, and minimizing deep lines. Overall, the procedure will leave the patient with a natural, youthful appearance. Unfortunately, the results of a facelift are not permanent, as nothing can stop the natural aging process or prevent future damage from occurring.
Your doctor will recommend that you eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and avoid direct sun exposure to maintain your facelift results as long as possible. However, there are non-surgical treatments that patients who receive a facelift can consider solutions that will prolong their facelift results.
Can Microneedling Prolong My Facelift Results?
Yes, microneedling treatments can prolong your facelift results. Microneedling is a treatment that focuses on improving fine lines and reducing deep wrinkles. As a result, getting this treatment after a facelift can only benefit you and extend the life of your results.
Bridges to Beauty uses the Dermapen® for its microneedling treatment. This medical device is FDA-approved and works to rejuvenate the skin. The painless treatment creates micro-injuries in the deep layers of the skin, stimulating new collagen growth in those areas.
The Dermapen® requires minimal downtime, causes minimal swelling, and works on all skin types. It also gets to the deeper layers of skin that many skin treatments simply cannot reach.
Dozens of studies have verified microneedling as offering impressive results for skin rejuvenation.
