Hello KK,
Facelift treatment can be divided into surgical and non-surgical. In general, people with severe skin sagging will benefit more from surgical options while people with mild to moderate sagging can consider non-surgical options first.
There are many non-surgical facelift treatments in the market right now:
1. HIFU - best result in 1 to 2 months time and can last 9 to 12 months.
2. Threadlift - immediate result and can last anywhere from 9 to 18 months depending on the type of thread used.
3. Filler - immediate result if injected in the right position. HA fillers can last 9 to 12 months on average while semi permanent fillers can last more than 1 year depending on the product used.
4. Dermalift - best result in 1 to 2 weeks time and it will last 3 to 4 months.
The best approach to non-surgical facelift will require a thorough assessment to see which procedure is more suitable for the patient. I usually prefer a combination approach to get the best out of the different treatment options available.
The different treatment options have their own pros and cons so speak to a trusted doctor to see which is the most suitable one for you. Hope this helps!
Regards,
Dr Jiwei Wu
