Facial Lift: Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Facial Rejuvenation by Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)?

Face lift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to smooth the loose skin of the face and neck and reduce the most apparent signs of aging in the facial area, resulting in a fresher, more relaxed and youthful appearance. The procedure involves reducing the creases from the cheeks, the slacking jaw line and sagging jowls and fat deposits around the neck by removing excess fat and tightening underlying muscles, then re-draping the skin of the face and neck. ...

Why choose Facial Acupuncture over a surgical face-lift?

While not a replacement for surgery, Acupuncture Facial is an excellent alternative. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery and is safe, virtually painless, has no side effects or risk of disfigurement. Unlike surgery that may have an extended recovery period with swelling and discoloration there is no trauma from Facial Acupuncture. While Facial Acupuncture cannot reshape one’s nose or chin, it is a more subtle treatment that takes years off one’s face- safely and naturally while improving overall health.

How is a weekend facelift different from facial resurfacing, and a general face and neck lift?

A weekend facelift may consist of neck liposuction, a mini-face lift, a neck lift, or facial skin resurfacing. Recovery may take 3 days for the more minor of these applications. It may be a misrepresentation to state a facelift can be a weekend recovery particularly if it does not involve contouring the usual skin, fat, and muscles, as is the case with a general face and neck lift. Moreover a deep skin resurfacing of a severely aged face may take many days of recovery, but also provide a subtle lifting as well. ...

What is the difference between a surgical face-lift and facial toning?

Enormous - one is preventative, 100% natural and gentle lifting of all the facial muscles (forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, chin and neck) the other is a radical invasive surgical procedure with all the associated risks that only addresses a saggy face! A surgical face-lift generally involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without tapering the underlying tissues and then the rewrapping of the skin on the patient's face and neck. But it doesn’t stop there. ...

Why choose acupuncture facial rejuvenation over a Face Lift?

The acupuncture facial rejuvenation protocol has been used for more than 2000 years. In Asian medicine it is believed that the face is a mirror of internal health. Therefore, with acupuncture facial rejuvenation, the focus is on treating the internal part of the body (the organs) --- the root cause of aging --- so that a healthier, younger external appearance (the face) can follow. With a longer history than cosmetic surgery, an "acupuncture facelift" is safer and has minimal or no risk of side effects. ...

Will face lift surgery eliminate all of my facial wrinkles?

Most face lifts can dramatically refresh and invigorate the lower two-thirds of the face. By removing excess fat and reshaping loose muscles and facial tissue, cosmetic surgeons reduce sagging in the cheeks and around the jaw. While this usually makes patients look younger and less tired than before surgery, a face lift will not eliminate all common signs of aging. For patients with wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, BOTOX® injections , chemical peels , or laser resurfacing may be able to help. ...

How does Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture compare to Surgical Face-Lift or Botox Injection?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a safe, holistic, non-invasive, cost effective alternative to cosmetic surgery or botox injections. Unlike surgery that may have an extended recovery period with swelling and discoloration, there is no trauma from Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. There is a slight chance of minor temporary bruising which will disappear in a few days. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture does not replace “Facelift” surgery as it will not result in sudden dramatic changes. ...

How far in advance should I stop coloring my hair if I’m having a face lift or other facial procedures?

In procedures involving the throat, face or ears, most physicians allow patients to color their hair a few days before their surgeries. Keep in mind, however, that you will be asked to refrain from using hair-coloring products until four weeks after your surgery. Also, do not wear any type of makeup the day of your surgery. And men should arrive with their necks and faces clean-shaven.

I use the most sensitive waxing products on my clients but still occasionally lift skin on the facial area.What am I doing wrong?

It's always best to consult with your clients before any waxing service, even if you have known them for years. They may have changed their medication or may be using an antiaging cream that contains Retina-A or a high percentage of alpha hydroxy. Another thing to keep in mind is technique; always stand on the side of the area you are waxing and remove the strip close to the skin in a quick, downward motion. When lifting occurs, apply an anti-bacterial cream to the surface to promote quick healing.

I have a client who had cosmetic surgery three months ago - an eye and face lift. Can I perform a facial?

Yes, if the scars have healed and are showing no signs of any problems. We would recommend that you avoid the scarred areas as much as possible and that you opt for the Prescription Facial without an eye mask.

¿Porque es preciso evitar el Área de los ojos al usar Amine Complex Face Lift, Evening Facial Emollient, ALA Face Firming Activator, Concentrated Restorative Cream?

Estos son tratamientos potentes con ingredientes multi-activos, recomendados para ser aplicados específicamente sobre la piel del rostro, que es más fuerte que la piel alrededor de los ojos. En esta región la piel es mucho más fina, delicada y sensible, y podría haber irritaciones en caso de que estos tratamientos fueran aplicados en esa área. Volver al índice Opciones de Productos
