Non Surgical Face Lift & Thread Lift in Austin

A multitude of techniques for non surgical face lift options have been brought to the market over the last few years, gaining national attention from Oprah, the Today Show, Good Morning America, Extreme Makeover, and hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles.

Commonly referred to as thread face lift and typically completed in just one hour, the procedure involves the threading of tiny barbed sutures through the underlying layer of the face. Once placed, the threads are tightened and anchored in the hair line, giving new lift to the skin and stimulating new collagen production around the threads.

Some other names commonly associated with thread face lift are Contour ThreadLift, Russian threads, Aptos threads, S Lift, Curl lift, featherlift, contour lift, and string face lift.

The Titan laser is another new technology for non surgical face lift, but is used to shrink loose facial skin with infrared energy by stimulating the collagen beneath the skin. Following treatment, the collagen regenerates over time and fills in facial creases and wrinkles. The Titan™ heats the dermis to cause collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis through continuous cooling. In addition, Titan can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger looking skin.

Thermage directs radiofrequency energy just below the surface of the skin into the collagen while a cooling spray is used to make the patient more comfortable and protect the skin. Over the next 6 months, the skin will slowly begin to produce more collagen, filling in the lines and grooves in your skin and producing a younger, more vibrant appearance.

Like Titan and Thermage, Polaris produces results for wrinkles at both the epidermal and deep dermal levels. The combination of light and radiofrequency energy treating at multiple levels makes it possible to treat fine wrinkles at the surface, while penetrating into the dermis to treat deeper wrinkles.

Many physicians have produced superb results by combining a thread face lift with an RF or infrared procedure like Thermage, Titan, or Polaris.

Believe it or not, sometimes the simplest method of bringing new life to a tired face is a cosmetic filler or injectable filler. Products like Botox, Restylane, Sculptra, Hylaform, Captique, CosmoDerm, CosmoPlast, Radiance, and Radiesse are derived from naturally occurring sources within the body, either hyaluronic acid or collagen. Results are immediate and last for several months or years, depending on the product.

The easiest face fix is the one you'd think of last - if a person’s teeth are not properly cared for, it can be the first thing others notice. Just half of all adults are satisfied with their smiles, and as baby boomers begin address the dental issues associated with aging, they do not want dentures or partials, but a full set of permanent white teeth. This is possible and easier than you might think, because of newer technologies like porcelain dental veneers, lumineers, CEREC single visit crowns, da vinci veneers, and laser teeth whitening.
