Look Years Younger with a Nonsurgical Facelift
For more than a century, women have sought looking younger with facelift surgery. But facelift surgery is extremely expensive – and is accompanied by pain, scars, dangerous anesthesia, and weeks of downtime. Additionally, facelift surgery can leave unnatural results, leaving a woman looking like “she’s had work done.”
However, times have finally changed. And thanks to the revolutionary skin tightening treatments available at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, MI, women can now turn back the clock with non-surgical skin tightening. Our non-surgical facelift treatments achieve many of the the same rejuvenating results without the need for invasive surgery or extended recovery periods.
In this article the skin tightening experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids discuss the advanced skin tightening treatments can help you turn back the clock without invasive surgery.
The History of Surgical Facelifts
Many women are surprised to learn that the earliest surgical facelifts, were performed in the early 1900s – more than 100 years ago. These rudimentary procedures primarily involved removing excess skin and pulling it tight, but resulted in a stretched, unnatural appearance. Anesthesia during these early surgeries was minimal, and recovery was challenging, with many complications.
The 1950s saw advancements in facelift techniques. And throughout the latter half of the 20th century and into the 21st century, surgical facelift techniques continued to evolve – with smaller incisions and less downtime. Modern surgical facelifts are much more sophisticated and complicated procedures – often incorporating liposuction, fat grafting, and tissue repositioning to create a harmonious, youthful appearance.
But while surgical facelifts have undergone continuous improvement and refinement, they still cost $10,000 or more, leave scars, and require weeks of unpleasant recovery, with wound drainage, etc.
From Surgery to Non-Surgical Facelifts
Today, the world of aesthetics has evolved, and at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, we’re proud to offer non-invasive med spa treatments that can rejuvenate your face, tighten your skin, and revitalize your appearance, all without the inconvenience, expense and pain of traditional surgical methods.
Forma skin tightening treatments are among our most popular to help patients look years younger! Forma skin tightening is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive, skin treatment that uses radiofrequency to penetrate deep into the skin. The gentle but powerful heat energy causes immediate contraction and tightening of the skin. It also stimulates the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin for improved skin tone, texture, and tightness over time.
Forma can immediately tighten your skin and improve crow’s feet, under eye bags, saggy eyelids, and fine lines around the nose, mouth, forehead, and jawline. All without surgery or downtime.
How Forma Non-Surgical Facelift Works
Forma skin tightening was developed by inMode – a world leader in laser and radiofrequency skin care treatments. Forma skin tightening is sometimes referred to as a “Red Carpet Facelift” or a “Lunchtime Lift” because of its ability to deliver immediate skin tightening results, without surgery and without any downtime.
And, by the way, Forma can also be used to tighten skin on the body, including the abdomen (“belly pooch”), thighs (“saddlebags”), buttocks, and upper arms (“bingo wings”) from the very first procedure.
Forma uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, generated at one million pulses per second, to penetrate deep into the skin’s underlying tissue. The thermal radiofrequency energy not only immediately tightens tissue and skin, but also stimulates natural collagen production that will improve skin elasticity and tone over time, as more collagen is produced.
Forma skin tightening can also be combined with other treatments at our Grand Rapids med spa, such as IPL, Botox and dermal fillers to achieve the best cosmetic results.
Morpheus8 Skin Remodeling
Morpheus8 is another state-of-the-art medical device available at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids to rejuvenate the face. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency to achieve remodeling of the skin on a deeper cellular level. In addition to offering the benefits of microneedling, the Morpheus8 is also a “Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device” (SARD) which uses heat energy to actually melt and mold the fat to create more youthful contours.
This enables Morpheus8 to address more than just superficial skin issues, by contouring away unwanted adipose fat that causes jowls, eye bags, and more. When used on the face, Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling has also been called a “non-surgical facelift” for its ability to tone, lift and contour the skin.
“Liquid Facelifts”
The liquid facelift is another popular choice for women seeking a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery or extensive downtime. This innovative approach harnesses the power of injectable treatments, primarily Botox and dermal fillers, to rejuvenate the face, smooth wrinkles, and restore volume.
A “liquid facelift” is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes a combination of injectable treatments to address various signs of aging. Botox can be employed to relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. And dermal fillers can be used to restore lost volume, plump sagging skin, and fill in static wrinkles and fine lines.
Unlike surgical facelifts, which require incisions and downtime, the liquid facelift involves only injections. There’s no need for anesthesia, and most patients can resume their daily activities right after the procedure. By rejuvenating the face holistically, it creates a refreshed and youthful appearance that can boost self-confidence.
