When you experience unwelcome changes in your skin and face, a variety of cosmetic treatments are available for every stage of the aging process.

While facelift surgery can yield the greatest benefits for severe signs of aging, it’s not the right option for everyone and you may not need such a major procedure.

There are plenty of great facelift alternatives that can help you achieve phenomenal and natural looking results without the need to undergo the knife.

 The latest in-office procedures are convenient, affordable, and incredibly beneficial, making it easy to rejuvenate and revitalize your appearance. You can find a solution for a range of concerns from the subtle signs of aging like volume loss and fine lines to deeper wrinkles and excess fat beneath the chin.    

If you’re considering facelift alternatives, discover more about the top 3 nonsurgical treatments below:

BOTOX™

Botox ™ is considered the most effective nonsurgical treatment option for reducing the appearance of wrinkles. A safe and virtually painless procedure, it can produce dramatic improvements in your appearance. Botox™ can be used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles in your forehead, frown lines between your eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” or fine lines around the eye area.

One of the main underlying causes of these types of wrinkles is the repeated contraction of the facial muscles over a lifetime as we squint, frown and make facial expressions.

Botox™ works by temporarily reducing the muscle activity that causes wrinkles to appear. Botox™ contains a highly purified botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks the nerve impulses responsible for the muscle contractions. When injected into the area around the wrinkles, Botox™ works to relax the facial muscles and smooth out the skin. The full effect of treatment can be seen within 4-7 days following the procedure and results last up to 4 months.

KYBELLA™

The chin profile is a common area of concern for both men and women. You don’t have to be overweight to find yourself sporting a “double chin.” The appearance of fat or excess fullness under the chin is a condition known as submental fullness.  It can make you feel like you look heavier and older than you really are.

Genetics, aging, and weight gain are all contributing factors that can cause submental fullness. But even with exercise and a healthy diet, the condition may not go away.

If excess fat under the chin causes you to feel self-conscious, KYBELLA™ is a nonsurgical treatment option that can help you get rid of that double chin and improve the contour and appearance of your profile.

KYBELLA™ is injected into the fat beneath the chin where it targets and destroys the fat cells. The result is a dramatic reduction of fullness under the chin.  Because KYBELLA™ effectively destroys these fat cells, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. This means that once you’ve achieved your desired results, further treatment is rarely necessary.

Injectable Fillers

A variety of changes occur in the face and to the skin’s appearance as we age. You may notice deepening wrinkles, smile lines or parentheses that form around the nose and mouth. The skin also loses volume as it’s structure begins to deteriorate, which causes some of the less obvious signs of aging.  This loss of volume can create a more hollow appearance beneath the eye area. Cheeks may start to flatten and lose their contours. The lips may appear thinner.

Injectable fillers restore fullness to these areas and are a simple, affordable option for treating the subtle signs of aging. The injections can be conveniently administered in a lunch hour and the results are immediate. They help to smooth and fill out the skin, creating a soft, natural appearance. The effect is a noticeably refreshed, more youthful look without anyone being able to pinpoint the exact source.
