Legend has that Helen of Troy had a face that launched a thousand ships. Probably she
went in for a face lift every once in a while. A face lift is akin to a restoration job
performed on a face, ravaged by time, weather elements or an unhealthy lifestyle. You
have the surgical facelift, involving incisions and the painless face lift non surgical
lift. The latter is gaining popularity by the day.
These days, many types of face lift non surgical lifts have been devised to lift the
sagging face muscles, erase fine lines, wrinkles and scars and impart elasticity to the
face. All these methods do not involve any pain or lengthy recuperation period and it can
be carried on with other treatments.
Thermage facelift is the current rage amongst the beauty brigade. Relatively inexpensive
compared to its surgical counterparts like derma abrasion and chemical peel, this face
lift method involves only local anesthesia and is over within an hour, so that you can
return to your daily routine without any grogginess or hideous bandages across your face.
The Thermage facelift method uses radiofrequency force to tighten the face and is suited
for everybody except those fitted with a pacemaker. It guarantees results within a few
days to five months. However, this facelift method is not much effective in treating the
severely battered face. Extreme cases merit drastic surgical procedures like CO2 laser
therapy.
The Microcurrent facelift is another non-surgical procedure fast gaining ground. Working
at the cellular level, this face lift method whets up the body’s natural chemical
processes to turn back the hands of time and give you a face to die for.
Over within an hour, the Microcurrent facelift will tone the face and neck muscles, lift
the jaw line and the eyebrows, decrease pigmentation and erase fine lines and wrinkles.
This facelift process is quite painless; you might only feel a slight tingle when mild
electric currents are sent to your face.
Have pins and needles stuck on your arms, legs and face you can emerge with a younger,
firmer looking face. That’s acupuncture for you, a face lift non surgical lift procedure
that is very safe and inexpensive. A huge hit amongst the hoi polloi and the stars alike,
its detractors however raise questions about its ability to provide enduring results.
