These new non surgical procedures are a result of recent advances in technology to tighten the skin. Thermage and laser face lifts are currently the most popular non surgical face lift procedures.

Thermage is a process that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin. The heat stimulates collagen growth in problem areas helping to reduce lines and wrinkles on the face. The procedure takes about an hour and after effects can include redness and tenderness on the areas treated. These side effects usually last only one or two days.

A laser face lift is another type of non surgical procedure that eliminates cutting, scaring and anesthesia. The laser technology is able to tighten portions of the skin resulting in fewer wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.

Keep in mind although these procedures are effective, the results are not as dramatic as a surgical face lift. The reduction in healing time and discomfort generally lead most patients to be pleased with the results from a face lift without surgery.
