As we age, we can lose facial structure to a decrease in collagen production, shift in resting muscle tone, and wrinkles.
Though facial surgery is often thought of as the first solution, an extensive, invasive procedure isn’t right for everyone. At InterveneMD, we offer a non-surgical face lift in Mt. Pleasant, SC, in the form of facial contouring.
Keep reading our blog to see how non-surgical facial contouring compares to a traditional face lift. Visit our website or give us a call to create your treatment plan.
The Face Lift Comparison
Our facial contouring treatments can give you the sharper facial features you’ve been looking for without the pain and recovery of a surgical procedure.
No Pain No Gain
For the average face lift procedure, you can expect to experience moderate pain throughout the recovery period. Many patients also note drainage from incisions, swelling, bruising, and numbness following their procedure.
This is a vast contrast from the pain level of non-surgical facial contouring.
With Emface facial contouring, many patients describe the sensation of the treatment as a slight warming sensation with slight muscle contractions. They often compare the procedure to that of a relaxing facial massage.
For RF Microneedling, the discomfort is very mild because of topical numbing creams. Though there may be some slight skin irritation following the procedure, most patients report minimal discomfort.
Recovery
Most face lift procedures require patients to take anywhere from 5 to 21 days off from work to allow for maximum recovery.
Recovery from a face lift involves the continuous application of ointments, creams, gauze, and clean towels to the treatment area. Additionally, this recovery period includes follow-up appointments and prescriptions for pain medication.
On the other hand, with non-surgical approaches, there is no downtime or recovery associated with Emface facial contouring. Because this procedure does not involve any needles or incisions, you can get back to your busy lifestyle immediately after treatment.
There is also minimal downtime involved with RF Microneedling. While patients should avoid sun exposure and regularly apply SPF to give their skin the best support throughout the healing process, you can return to work and other activities shortly after treatment.
