What Is a MiniFaceLift™?
Put simply, the MiniFaceLift™ is a single treatment that can provide a multitude of rejuvenating benefits for the face. The minimally invasive strategy contours the face for a more youthful appearance, tightens the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and stimulates collagen production for long-lasting results that provide a firmer look and feel—all without surgery!
How Is a MiniFaceLift† Different from a Surgical Facelift?
A traditional surgical facelift involves a plastic surgeon making incisions in key areas around the ears and hairline, adjusting muscles and fat below the skin, pulling the skin tighter, removing excess skin, and suturing everything into place for a smoother look with more youthful contours. This approach is effective, but can give patients an unwanted “windswept” look—especially if the plastic surgeon does not have the training and experience to provide natural-looking results. Furthermore, this strategy demands a longer recovery period as swelling resolves, incisions heal, sutures dissolve or are removed, and other side effects fade. Patients typically find that they have to take up to six weeks off from life—staying home from work, missing time from family, and being unable to participate in day-to-day activities.
Note that facelift surgery often typically requires sedation, with many surgeons using general anesthesia to relax the patient into a sleep-like state. This approach carries its own set of risks and side effects, including post-procedure grogginess, nausea, and more.
A MiniFaceLift™ does away with the risks and challenges of surgery by using bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) energy to generate beautiful improvements.
The main device used at Aesthetic Medicine is FaceTite™, which delivers the RF energy to where it is needed most below the surface. A thin tube, known as a cannula, is inserted through a very small incision. The tube then emits radiofrequency energy, which liquefies fat cells, contracts and tightens the skin, and creates a toned and more youthful appearance that continues to improve as collagen and elastin levels rise in the skin.
FaceTite™ is used on and above the jawline, focusing primarily on the jaw, cheekbones, and mid-face. Because this process is minimally invasive, only a local anesthetic is needed. That means no sedation, no post-wake-up-grogginess, and no general anesthetic-related nausea.
Other strategies are used below the jawline, with non-surgical treatments firming lax skin under the chin and on the neck for an overall rejuvenated look. Since the process relies on the body’s own collagen-building abilities and inherent healing processes, the results appear especially natural.
What Areas Can a MiniFaceLift™ Target?
As the procedure’s name implies, this strategy focuses entirely on the face. Many patients may not realize, however, that this includes the neck! Signs of aging often appear on the neck earlier rather than later, so the below-the-chin area is known for significantly contributing to a more aged appearance.
The Aesthetic Medicine team also makes a point of improving the appearance of the neck so that it matches the youthfulness of the face above. Surgeons who perform only facelifts may give their patients rejuvenated facial contours, but a loose and sagging neck can give away the passage of time. Dr. Jerry Darm and Dr. Amie Zawacki approach treatments from every angle so that the results look truly natural and holistic.
What Happens Before a MiniFaceLift™?
Safety, comfort, and patient education are the foundation of every effective treatment at Aesthetic Medicine. Every procedure—MiniFaceLift™ included—starts with a personalized consultation. This meeting allows us to get to know you, from discovering your cosmetic goals to establishing a medical history to examining your skin to determine what approach may be best. The consultation process includes a complete physical with an electrocardiogram and a blood workup.
You will also have ample opportunities to get answers to any questions you might have about the MiniFaceLift™ procedure. When you are satisfied, we will work together to choose the best path forward for you. This involves speaking with an experienced wellness consultant, as well as discussing a personalized quote and the financing options available at Aesthetic Medicine.
Once the payment is processed, we will schedule the MiniFaceLift™—which truly sets the ball rolling! We will call you in the days prior to your visit so we can answer any lingering questions as well as give you pre-procedure instructions and advice.
What Happens During a MiniFaceLift™ Session?
As noted above, we reduce sensation in the treatment area with a local anesthetic, which will be administered prior to any work done. This will allow you to stay awake and avoid the risks of complete sedation. Patients who would like more help with feeling comfortable can choose a prescription oral sedative as well.
Once you are comfortable, the surgeon will then make tiny incisions only where appropriate and necessary. The cannula will be gently inserted so the RF energy can begin its work on liquefying fat, prompting renewed collagen production, and more.
What Happens After a MiniFaceLift™ Session?
Recovery following this procedure takes about a day as minimal swelling goes down. You will likely see some improvements right away, but more youthful contours will continue to develop in the following weeks and months. Collagen creation is a gradual process.
What Contouring Treatments Are Available Beyond the MiniFaceLift™ at Aesthetic Medicine?
Women and men who want to address stubborn bulges on their body can choose LipoLift™, which is a laser-based non-surgical fat-reduction procedure that contours the abdomen, flanks, thighs, torso, and other areas by removing fat and providing some skin-tightening benefits.
Beyond these options, BodyTite and FaceTite can both be used on their own to liquefy fat for removal via RF energy.
Patients seeking to improve the texture and tone of their face have many options, including facial vein removal, microneedling, microdermabrasion, acne treatments, BOTOX®, Juvederm®, and more. We can explain how these various treatments can benefit you, as well as help you to decide on the right approach for your goals.
