Face lifting is divided into two categories: non-surgical and surgical methods

1. Non-surgical methods include: photoelectric, thread-embedding, and injection.

2. Surgery includes: traditional incision, small incision, endoscope, etc.

What are the more popular non-surgical methods?

1. Ultrasonic scalpel

Also known as focused ultrasound, it originated in the United States. It entered mainland China in 2014 and has become widely popular. It uses the energy of ultrasound to act on the deep fascia to tighten the tissue and skin. This method is minimally invasive and painless, with no skin damage and no obvious swelling after treatment. You can live and work normally. The treatment time is about one hour. The skin tissue tightening effect is obvious after one treatment, and the maintenance time is about 18 months. Treatment can be repeated every 2 years.

2. Thread lifting

Thread lifting has become more popular in recent years. This wire is made of PDO material and absorbs in 6-12 months. There are jagged lines, smooth lines, spiral lines, etc. Zigzag lines can lift and tighten the skin, and smooth lines can make the skin smooth and tight. The two lines are often used in combination as needed. This method relies on thread-based lifting for a short period of time. After a few weeks, the thread begins to be absorbed. Theoretically, the scar formed locally has a certain tightening and lifting effect on the tissue. At present, the maintenance time of buried thread lifting is about one year. Redness, swelling, thread protrusion, rejection and infection caused by buried threads also frequently occur. The long-term effects of thread lifting still need to be observed and studied. Many beauty salons exaggerate the effect of thread embedding, or frequently perform thread embedding, which increases facial damage and is not worth promoting.

Surgical method

1. Gold micro-carving, also known as Bodytite, originated from Israel and has been used in Europe and the United States for many years. It uses radiofrequency technology to act on fat and skin tissue. It can shape fat and tighten the skin at the same time. It can solve fat sagging and skin laxity at once, killing two birds with one stone! This method is a minimally invasive surgery that needs to be completed in the operating room. It will cause slight swelling, fast postoperative recovery, and obvious skin tightening effects. Lasts about 5-6 years. It is currently the most effective minimally invasive surgery and treatment. Suitable for all ages.

2. Small incision face lift

Small incision face lift means making 3-5 small incisions in the hairline of the forehead or temple, and then surgically separates and lifts the tissue. . With the help of endoscopic minimally invasive technology, trauma can be reduced and surgical safety improved. It has now become the main method of facial rejuvenation in Europe and the United States. This method has less surgical trauma and less obvious scars, and is suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity on the face.
