This discussion will help ensure that you achieve the best possible results tailored to your specific needs.

2. What products are used in non-surgical facelifts?

The 5-Points and 8-Point Lifts, as well as MD Codes, typically use hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm, Restylane or Profhilo to enhance volume, contour, and lift specific areas of the face. The Y Lift often utilizes Juvederm Voluma or Radiesse to lift and define the under-eye area, cheeks, and jawline. Sculptra Aesthetic works differently by stimulating natural collagen production with Poly-L-lactic acid, gradually restoring volume and reducing wrinkles. Each of these treatments provides natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

3. How long does it take to see my results?

You can generally see initial results immediately after the procedure. However, final results may take a few days to a couple of weeks to fully develop as any swelling or bruising subsides and the filler settles into place. With Sculptra, initial results may be visible within a few weeks, but the full effects typically take 6 to 12 weeks to fully develop.

4. Will the treatment boost my skin's collagen levels?

Depends on the products, like those used in the Sculptra Aesthetic treatment, are designed to stimulate the skin's natural collagen production over time. Also, Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. It not only hydrates the skin but also stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture and firmness.

5. what is the down time for the non-surgical facelift treatment?

The downtime for non-surgical facelift treatments is generally minimal. Most people experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. You can typically resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and makeup application for 24 to 48 hours to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications.

6. For optimal results from the treatment, how many sessions are recommended?

5-points Facelift: typically 2 sessions are recommended, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule helps achieve optimal skin hydration and collagen stimulation. Your practitioner may adjust the number of sessions based on your individual needs and goals. Many patients opt for maintenance treatments after six months to a year.

8-Point Lift, MD Codes, and Y Lift: Typically, one session is enough. Some individuals may choose to have follow-up sessions for maintenance or to enhance results, typically every 6 to 12 months.

Sculptra Aesthetic: Usually requires 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
