Skin Tightening Toronto Versus A Facelift

by

skin-tightening-versus-facelift

While a facelift is a surgical procedure, the benefits and results of a facelift are almost immediate and long lasting. Once bruising and swelling has dissipated , the results can be quite impressive. Although most men and women want quick results, the cost and downtime of a facelift, can be a big decision.

A facelift tightens aging facial skin and underlying muscles, however it doesn’t improve skin quality. Bad skin quality can ruin a good facelift result and should be treated as well.

Many people who might have considered a facelift in the past are now opting for laser and/or dermal filler treatments.

As we age, volume is lost and we tend to look hollow and droopy. Dermal fillers, like Juvederm, Perlane and Teosyal, replace the volume that has been lost over the years. By injecting these fillers into the cheeks and the lower face, such as the marionettes and jawline, the skin appears lifted.  This treatment of filling areas of the face with dermal fillers is commonly referred to as a “liquid facelift”. Although a liquid facelift might be an ideal non-surgical treatment for some, again, it doesn’t always address excess skin.

If your problem is wrinkled skin with mild laxity, then skin resurfacing either with laser or chemical peels should be considered. If the issue is gravity, then the answer is surgery to restore the skin & underlying structures to their former position.

One option for skin tightening is radiofrequency. Thermage helps tighten the skin by directly tightening the collagen, which can give you a bit of a lift.  Fraxel can tighten skin as well by reducing wrinkles, resurfacing and improving skin tone and texture of the skin.

Another non-surgical popular treatment among the stars is an focused ultrasound treatment known as Ultherapy . Ultherapy requires no downtime and results are immediate and only improve over time.

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target the same layer known as the smas , which is the underlying deep tissue that is addressed by surgeons in cosmetic surgery.

Ultherapy has the ability to also target the skin as well with a different depth causing new collagen to build as well, which over time will lift and tighten the skin.  Ultherapy bypasses the top surface of the skin to deliver energy at optimal depths, temperature and precision. Patients who are not ready for surgery find that this is a great alternative to a facelift. Ultherapy can also lift your brows and the area under the chin and neck and smooth the décolleté.

Each face is different, and  like all cosmetic treatments, not every procedure is right for every patient. The ideal candidates for skin tightening treatments are those who don’t quite need a facelift, and whose skin hasn’t reached the level of looseness that only a facelift can target. If you are not ready for the cost, or downtime involved with a Facelift procedure; then book a complimentary consultation at Lasting Looks Clinic to discuss your options for rejuvenation.   Visit www.lastinglooks.ca to see if Dermal fillers, Laser or Ultherapy is right for you.

Ultherapy Toronto For Maintaining A Facelift

How Can I Maintain My Facelift Result?
You’ve had your surgical procedure and then wonder,  “How do I maintain my results?”

Whether it’s a face-lift, brow lift, temple lift , neck or eye-lift , surgery cannot stop the aging process.  Eventually the skin and muscles of the face  start to loosen, and begin to drop again.

Depending on the procedure,  and your lifestyle, you can expect anywhere from 5-10 years before it should be redone.

An alternative treatment used to maintain surgical results,  is a procedure called Ultherapy.

Ultherapy reaches down to the same depth your surgeon addresses in your procedure.

Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused Ultrasound energy to reach deep into the skin and smas (muscle) of the face.

Ultherapy may be performed on the entire face, neck or jowls. Ultherapy can also treat smaller localized areas such as the eyes, upper lip and temples to refresh or give extra lift.  It can also be used after a  brow lift or facelift procedure

Ultherapy on average,  can increase collagen production by 42%.  This new collagen building treatment will gradually tighten and lift the skin.

Although some results can be seen immediately, full results are seen within 3 to 4 months.

Ultherapy Toronto -Surgical or Non-surgical Facelift

There are surgical solutions and non-surgical solutions for rejuvenating the face. Which one is best for you?

 During a consultation, there are several questions the surgeon will ask, for example:

  •   What are your goals? Are you looking for something dramatic to take of years off or something more subtle to appear more refreshed 
  •  What is your allowance for recovery time?
  •   Your financial limitations?

These questions and more will help your surgeon offer you the most beneficial options.

There are various non-surgical skin tightening procedures that claim to get the same result as a surgical face-lift , however this is not quite true.  Although there are some benefits to skin tightening with radio-frequency, with surgery, there is tightening of the underlying muscles as well that give support to the face

A lot of research on the various non-surgical face-lift procedures have been made and Ultherapy offers the best results.

Ultherapy is an ultrasound treatment that will address the muscles of the face as well as stimulate new collagen growth. The skin and muscle will tighten gradually over several weeks’ time, seeing the result in 4 months. This is an excellent treatment for the patient that wants a more subtle improvement and can’t afford the downtime that surgery requires.

Ultherapy Toronto , 5 Myths

by

Top 5 MYTHS About ULTHERAPY

Myth #1: It’s painful and many people can’t even finish the procedure
While there is some mild discomfort with the procedure, Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto uses the latest protocol and newest technology from Ultherapy for optimum results. The software has been upgraded in the last year. It is called the New Amplify 800 Treatment for face and neck which delivers less energy and more pulses. The patient feels much more comfortable without decreasing any benefits at the same time.

Myth #2 The results of Ultherapy don’t last very long, and the treatment must be repeated.
The treatment results are gradual and natural looking, with initial improvements
noticed as soon as two weeks after treatment. The improvements will continue
over 3-6 months and even longer for the maximum results. Occasionally, people
will opt for a touch up procedure after a year or 2; however, the results are
permanent in the sense that you will always look better than you otherwise
would have had you not had the procedure due to the creation of new collagen.

Myth #3 Anyone can perform this procedure, and the results are the same.
The results of Ultherapy® are directly related to the skill of the practitioner
performing the treatment, not just the treatment itself. At Lasting Looks Clinic we do not use a cookie- cutter approach and give everyone the same exact treatment.
We do no treat any two faces the same, since they are not. We take into consideration the physical age of the patient as well as the unique laxity of certain areas that may require more extensive treatment in the area.

Myth #4  I should shop around for the best possible price.
We all know cheaper is not necessarily better, and this is especially true when it
comes to cosmetic work on the face and neck. Saving a couple hundred dollars
here and there could cost you in the long run with a less than optimal
result. As explained above, not all Ultherapy® treatments are the same, and the
results can vary based upon how your personal face is evaluated.

Myth #5 Ultherapy can replace a surgical facelift.
While Ultherapy® can provide a very nice improvement, it will never replace the
results of a surgical facelift. A facelift will result in more lifting and tightening
since excess skin is removed. The ideal Ultherapy® candidate falls into four
general categories:
1) Someone who does not “need” a facelift yet.
2) Someone who cannot medically undergo a surgical procedure
3) Someone who does not want a surgical procedure
4) Someone who has had previous surgery and wants a little tuck up
.
