Women's desire for beauty is a natural desire, and the cosmetology industry offers a wide range of procedures for tightening the skin on the face and neck. If the wrinkles on the face are superficial and do not require surgery, then injection and laser rejuvenation methods are suitable for such women, with which minor skin defects can be eliminated at affordable prices and fewer side effects.
A major benefit of non-surgical facelift procedures is shorter recovery time than surgery.
Non-surgical facelift methods
Injections
This method allows you to get rid of wrinkles with the help of injections. As you fill the subcutaneous soft tissue, the face becomes younger.

SMAS lift with ultrasound
SMAS lifting is the only procedure approved by the FDA to lift and rejuvenate the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as for the correction of wrinkles.
The principle of the procedure is as follows:
- using a safe exposure to a sensor with microfocused ultrasound on different layers of the skin - from superficial to SMAS (musculoaponeurotic system), they are heated point by point;
- after such exposure, new young collagen and elastin are actively produced, allowing you to tighten and tighten the skin of the face, neck and décolleté as well as straighten wrinkles;

- the rehabilitation period is absent or extremely short (depending on the characteristics of the organism)
- virtually painless procedure
- the effect of the procedure is immediately visible and continues to increase for 2-6 months
- the result after the procedure lasts up to 2 years
- one procedure is enough to achieve a visible effect
The system uses ultrasound to tighten and tighten the skin. The initial lift observed immediately after the procedure is due to the increase in tissue density under the influence of temperatures, denaturation (changes) and reduction of collagen in certain areas.
Does the procedure have side effects? Is she safe? These are two very common questions about this procedure. Our short answer is yes, the procedure is generally safe.
This is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure for body and face. It uses highly focused intense ultrasonic energy to tighten and lift the skin by gently warming the tissues and stimulating the body's collagen formation process.
SMAS lift is a type of facelift that lifts flabby skin, cheek fat pads and larger muscles in the middle and under the face and on the neck. Excess skin is also removed during this surgery.

Lipofilling
During lipofilling, own fat is taken and injected into the layers of the skin on the areas to be corrected.
Benefits of lipofilling:
- the result is noticeable and safe because the body's own fat is used
- fat is easily transplanted to other parts of the body, it is surrounded by blood vessels and tissues, therefore skin tissue will be less prone to movement or displacement
- lipids can be stored and reused for injection
Disadvantages:
Due to the use of anesthetics, severe swelling occurs in the first days.
Facelift using strands
Lifting is performed with wires using local anesthesia
Thread lifting

Endoscopic facelift
