Goodbye granny facelift, hello soft facelift!

Eternal youth. Who hasn't dreamed about it? Unfortunately, this dream, which lives in many people, is still inaccessible. But medicine and science are working on it! And research aimed at delaying aging as long as possible, erasing the signs of aging and inventing techniques that provide lasting rejuvenation, is constantly increasing.

One of these studies led to an analysis of the aging process. This has allowed facial surgeons to better understand the various factors that lead to aging and to update their methods so that they are better adapted to the needs of patients.

Thus, thanks to technological advances in cosmetic surgery, a new technique has emerged: the new facelift or soft facelift.

If you dream of facial rejuvenation but tremble at the thought of going under the knife, a gentle facelift is for you! 

What is this? 

The so-called soft facelift or soft facelift is a technique that combines the anti-aging gesture with targeted lifting gestures adapted to the physiognomy of each patient.

A gentle facelift, also referred to as a non-surgical facelift, gently smoothes deep wrinkles and fine lines while restoring deep facial support. Results? Natural, fresh and youthful looking. And all this without surgery!

One of the advantages of this technique is that it allows you to combine treatment with prevention, thus providing a more optimal and lasting result, thereby minimizing postoperative consequences.

Are you tired of looking old, tired when you feel in great shape?

Choose a non-surgical facelift, thanks to which facelift specialists can now adapt their gestures not only to your desires, but above all to the expressions and structure of your face.

Target ? Offer targeted facelifts while respecting each patient's facial expressions for much more natural results.

With a gentle facelift, you can say goodbye to the creases around the mouth, the blocked smile, and the frozen expression that often accompanies classic facelift techniques. Pulling the skin up and back is no longer a trend. Today, we prefer a softer approach and a deeper treatment.

Why do a facelift?

Aging. This is a common enemy that awaits us at every corner and against which we fight mercilessly. It is this aging and the faded look it gives us that pushes us to resort to a facelift.

Indeed, with the passage of time and aging, the upper part of our face loses more and more of its fat as well as its bone structure. This leads to a gradual loss of volume, resulting in skin laxity, which becomes more and more important as we age. The lower part of the face becomes heavy, the skin tightens. Then our face takes on a sad and tired look, although we do not necessarily feel sad or tired.

What then is to be done?

Hyaluronic acid injection sessions aim to treat this volume loss. This is done by targeting very specific areas in order to treat the problem at the source and in depth. This allows you to find fresh melodies, a well-defined oval and neck, positive and joyful expressions that better reflect your state of mind when you are in a good mood. Basically, it's an extension of your youthfulness and radiance, which skin aging can sometimes hide, giving you an austere, old look that doesn't represent you.

Why should a gentle facelift be preferred over a classic facelift?

Conventional facelift methods have had the bad habit of focusing on treatment at the expense of prevention. And aging is a process that we all know about, for which we begin to prepare quite early, and just as early we can begin to prevent it.

The benefit of a gentle facelift is that it not only helps eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, but also restores deep support to the face, improving facial contours. All this for a very natural result.

Soft facelift: how does it work?

A gentle facelift is a much gentler gesture than a classic facelift. It combines hyaluronic acid injections with targeted lifting that targets specific areas that suffer from skin laxity.

Muscle intervention is also performed to optimize results. Thus, the raising muscles are tightened again, and the lowering muscles are weakened.

One of the benefits of a soft facelift is the internal healing process that occurs after the procedure. Indeed, this healing often acts as a natural glue to keep the results. This prevents re-sagging of the muscles and skin tissues.

Soft lifting is a procedure that is carried out in the clinic. While this is sometimes performed on an outpatient basis, an overnight stay in the hospital is usually recommended. After leaving the clinic, it is recommended to rest at home for 10-15 days before resuming professional activities.

Soft facelift: prevention in the service of youthful skin

In order to preserve the elasticity of the skin for as long as possible and prevent it from sagging, it is right to inject hyaluronic acid, which must be started early enough (Read more about). Because by combining the prevention of facial aging with the treatment of the first signs of aging, we are sure to get the best results.

So, if you want to look fresher, have a well-defined neck, a perfectly oval face and a youthful and dynamic expression, choose a new soft facelift that takes into account your physiognomy and your features, allowing you to enjoy youth for longer!
