Women’s desire for beauty is a natural desire, and the cosmetics industry offers a wide range of procedures to tighten the skin on the face and neck. If the wrinkles on the face are shallow and do not require surgery, injection and laser rejuvenation methods are suitable for such women to eliminate minor skin blemishes at an affordable price and with fewer side effects.
A significant advantage of non-surgical facelift procedures is the shorter recovery time than surgery.
Non-surgical facelift methods
Injections
This method allows you to get rid of wrinkles with the help of injections. As the subcutaneous soft tissues are replenished, the face becomes younger. The substances that get into your skin by injecting a fat or filler are natural substances that your skin needs. The presence of collagen and elastin allows the skin to achieve elasticity and firmness.
Benefits of injections:
- the difference is noticeable before and after the introduction of the gel
- Injectable facelift allows you to achieve naturalness
- statistics show that patients are very satisfied with the results of the filler injections
- it is possible to return or change the result

Disadvantages of injection gel:
Dual-injection methods will not be effective in completely removing deep wrinkles and sagging neck skin.
Botox injections
Botox is a pure protein that is injected under the skin, the result of which is the disappearance of wrinkles. It also prevents the formation of new ones. Botox wrinkle correction is best suited for areas such as nasolabial folds.
Botox on the face

Plasmolifting
PRP facelift is done by taking our own blood out of the body, adding useful substances and then injecting it into the blood to restore the skin. The procedure makes it possible to remove wrinkles on the face, dark circles around the eyes, and even pimples and scars. This is a method of regenerative therapy that has virtually no disadvantages because the body uses its own cells.

SMAS-lifting with ultrasound
SMAS lifting is the only FDA-approved procedure for lifting and rejuvenating the skin on the face, neck and décolleté, and for correcting wrinkles.
The principle of the procedure is as follows:
- they are heated in a point-like manner on the various layers of the skin, from the superficial to the SMAS (musculoaponeurotic system), by means of safe exposure with a microfocused ultrasound sensor;
- after such exposure, new young collagen and elastin are actively produced, allowing the skin of the face, neck and décolleté to be tightened and wrinkles to be corrected;
while the surface of the skin is not damaged and you can immediately return to your normal lifestyle.

- the result lasts for a maximum of 2 years after the procedure
- one procedure is sufficient to achieve the visible effect
The system uses ultrasound to tighten and tighten the skin. The initial lifting that can be observed immediately after the procedure is due to the increased tissue density due to temperature, denaturation (changes) and the reduction of collagen in some areas.
Do the procedure have side effects? Are you safe? These are two very common questions about this procedure. Our short answer is yes, the procedure is usually safe.
It is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure for the body and face. It uses highly focused, intense ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin by gently warming the tissues and stimulating the body’s process of collagen formation.
SMAS lifting is a type of facelift surgery that elevates sagging skin, facial fat pads, and larger muscles in the middle and lower face and neck. Excess skin is also removed during the operation.
Surgical methods of skin tightening
During rhytidectomy, excess skin is removed, and facial muscles and tissues are strengthened. This method removes deep wrinkles as effectively as possible.

During lipofilling, their own fat is taken up and injected into the skin layers of the areas that need correction.
Benefits of lipofilling:
- the result is noticeable and safe because the body’s own fat is used
- fat can be easily transferred to other parts of the body, surrounded by blood vessels and tissues, so skin tissues will be less exposed to movement or displacement
- the lipids can be stored and reused for injection
Disadvantages:
Severe swelling occurs in the first few days due to the use of anesthetics.

Lifting is performed with fibers under local anesthesia
