1. Phototherapy
Treatments like Thermage and Ultherapy belong to the phototherapy category. These are suitable for individuals without significant facial sagging. They use high-frequency radio waves to generate heat, stimulating collagen regeneration and achieving facial tightening. The price is relatively low, but regular treatments are required, with results lasting approximately one year.
2. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
The core of this type of treatment is to precisely replenish volume, giving the face a fuller appearance and smoother contours. It's important to note that hyaluronic acid fillers require very precise application, and large amounts or multiple injections in a short period should be avoided, as this can lead to an unnatural, "fake" look.
3. Non-Surgical Facelift (Thread Lift)
The non-surgical facelift, also known as thread lifting, focuses on being scarless or minimally invasive. Threads are inserted under the skin, and their unique shape is used to lift sagging facial tissue. This is also suitable for individuals with less severe facial sagging, with results lasting approximately one year. However, frequent thread lifting may cause facial tissue damage due to repeated punctures. Rational judgment is essential before undergoing this procedure.
4. Facelift Surgery
While facelift surgery may seem expensive due to its complexity, longer procedure time, and greater resource requirements, it offers a longer-lasting effect and is a very cost-effective option. The principle of facelift surgery involves making incisions in discreet locations, then dissecting, lifting, and repositioning the deep facial tissues and skin, removing excess tissue and skin to tighten the face and restore a youthful appearance. The results are significant and generally last 8-10 years.
