What would be viable non-surgical facelift options?

1. Dermal Fillers:

- Injections add volume to the face, filling in wrinkles and lifting sagging skin.

- Common fillers include hyaluronic acid (Juvéderm, Restylane), calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), and poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra).

2. Neurotoxin Injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin):

- Relax muscles that contribute to wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles.

- Can also be used to lift the brow and improve the appearance of the jawline.

3. Thermage:

- Radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin.

- Can be used on the face, neck, and body.

4. Ultherapy:

- Uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin.

- Common treatment areas include the face, neck, brow, and décolletage.

5. Laser Skin Resurfacing:

- Fractional lasers create tiny controlled injuries that trigger collagen production and skin tightening.

- Can improve wrinkles, fine lines, texture, and discoloration.

6. Chemical Peels:

- Controlled application of chemicals removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and revealing smoother, younger-looking skin.

7. Microneedling with Radiofrequency (Morpheus8, Fractora, Vivace):

- Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

- Can improve skin texture, laxity, and overall rejuvenation.

8. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:

- Involves injecting a concentration of platelets from your own blood into the skin.

- Growth factors in the platelets promote skin healing, regeneration, and rejuvenation.

9. Silhouette InstaLift:

- Sutures with tiny cones are inserted under the skin to lift sagging facial tissues.

- Provides immediate lifting and gradual collagen stimulation.

10. PDO Thread Lift:

- Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are inserted into the skin to create a scaffolding that lifts and tightens the tissues.

- Threads dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production.
