SmartLipo Facelift & Neck Lift
The SmartLipo™ laser facelift is a new treatment for facial enhancement. It is gentler,
less invasive and offers less downtime than a traditional, surgical facelift. The
SmartLipo™ laser facelift is a safe and effective treatment for the reduction in
appearance of “turkey neck”, sagging jowls, lower eyelid bags, mouth lines (nasolabial
folds), “lipstick lines”, “laugh lines”, sagging eyebrows and forehead lines.
Laser technology is a cutting-edge, highly effective method to significantly improve
the safety and efficiency of many surgical techniques. Routinely used in dental
procedures, Lasik eye surgery, reconstructive work and cosmetic treatments – including
liposuction – laser technology is what sets the SmartLipo™ laser facelift apart
from other facelift procedures. Under local anesthetic, a highly calibrated laser
fiber as thin as angel-hair pasta is inserted under the skin. Using treatment protocols
that are specific for heating the skin, the laser fiber is gently guided back and
forth while the surface temperature is closely monitored. At fifty degrees Celsius
there is initial tightening of the collagen tissue. There is subsequent generation
of new collagen resulting in ongoing tightening and lifting over three to six months.
How does the SmartLipo™ laser facelift compare to a traditional, surgical facelift?
The SmartLipo™ laser facelift is much less traumatic than a traditional, surgical
facelift. There are no large incisions. The entry points for the laser fiber are
smaller than a quarter-inch and are closed with only a single ultra-fine stitch.
Consequently, the SmartLipo™ laser facelift is performed safely under local anesthetic.
With the SmartLipo™ laser facelift, there is not the risk and discomfort of general
anesthesia. The treatment takes less time than a traditional facelift– usually lasting
less than two hours. The longevity of the results is expected to be similar to a
traditional facelift– between five and ten years.
A beautiful facelift and neck lift will naturally enhance the contours of your face
and leave your skin looking fresh and healthy A face-lift and neck lift will “reset
the clock” on the aging process, enhance your appearance and self-esteem, and restore
a more youthful and refreshed look by redistributing saggy cheek fat, smoothing
out deep wrinkles, tightening underlying muscles of the face and neck, and removing
excess skin.
Downtime is very brief. You can expect some discomfort for forty-eight hours and minor swelling
and bruising for approximately one week; however, most clients can return to work
and social events after a couple of days. In contrast, a traditional facelift often
necessitates several weeks of recovery.
