Many people are searching for the best way to remove wrinkles.
While injections and chemicals can help achieve this goal, the
longest-lasting wrinkle removal method is a face lift. There are two
types of these procedures-surgical and non surgical.
Procedures of a Surgical Face Lift
A surgical face lift is the most effective way to remove
wrinkles. When performing this procedure, the doctor will cut the
skin away from your face by making an incision along your hairline
around the top half of your face. He will then pull the skin loose
in order to build up and repair the tissue that is lying underneath.
When the doctor has finished, he then pulls the skin tightly back
into place and trims off any excess. He will then reattach the
remaining skin into its original position.
Your face will be swollen and bruised for several weeks. Once the
area has healed, your wrinkles should have diminished greatly if
they have not disappeared altogether.
Non Surgical Face Lifts
There are several types of nonsurgical face lifts that can be
effective to remove wrinkles. The first of these procedures is known
as a laser face lift. In this procedure, the doctor utilizes a laser
beam to resurface the skin by burning off the old skin cells. By
using this beam, the doctor can control the depth in which it
reaches into the skin layer as well as being able to pinpoint the
collagen matrixes (groups). He can then build up and strengthen
these formations, causing the skin to be firmer and more toned.
A microcurrent face lift is another non surgical procedure. This
method uses small electrical currents to stimulate the production of
collagen and elastin, the two key elements to firmer and more
youthful skin.
Another type of non surgical method is the Thermage face lift.
This procedure involves the use of radio frequencies (extreme heat).
This heat causes the cells in a collagen matrix to become
disorganized. As they reform, the matrix becomes firmer and
stronger, leading to smoother skin.
Choose Wisely
While some of these procedures may sound like the perfect way to
remove wrinkles, there are some risks and side effects. A surgical
face lift has all the same risks and dangers that are present in any
surgical procedure, while the non surgical face lifts may not be
effective in certain cases. You should discuss any procedure
carefully with your doctor in order to ensure that it is the right
one for you.
