Not everyone is keen to undergo surgery in order to attain a more youthful look. For those who would rather not, there options to bring back your youthful appearance that don’t involve surgery. Surgery-free face lifts don’t require any invasive procedures or long recovery times, but still provide great results. A number of options are available for you to choose from for non-surgical face lifts.

Thread lifts, or feather lifts, are available for those who aren’t totally scared of needles but want to steer clear of invasive cosmetic surgery methods. Thread lifts utilize FDA-approved barbed thread in order to make slightly loose skin taut beneath the surface and typically last approximately five years. The price tag for thread lifts can be roughly $400 and up per thread. The usual who gets a thread lift is less than 45 and uses around 4 threads in each treatment area, making the average cost $3200.

Acupressure methods revitalize both the tone and texture of your skin, improving facial muscles and firming your skin to lessen signs of aging. Historically used in Asian countries for thousands of years, these methods are meant to revitalize aging skin in a natural, holistic manner. These specific movements, when completed repeatedly over time, can lessen the need for surgical procedures and help you keep your youthful look for much longer

Botox is also a potential face lift alternative for people wanting to avoid costly surgical facelift costs. Botox therapies lessen the appearance of fine lines by relaxing the facial muscles with a series of injections. The tiny injections take only minutes to do, don’t have a recovery period and the results can be seen for up to four months. You may experience a bit of sensitivity, but it is minor and quickly leaves post-procedure. The typical Botox treatment is about $400-$600.

A second face lift alternative you may consider are Collagen injections, which involves injecting the naturally occurring protein into the skin, raising the facial tissues and hiding any visible wrinkles and fine lines. Other options, instead of collagen, include Radiesse and hyaluronic acid compounds, which are said to be safer than the material used in collagen and just as effective. Each of these options range from $350 - $600 per treatment. All of these methods are generally categorized as liquid facelifts.

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical face lift alternative that gives similar results in relation to facelifts and other options designed to prevent or stop aging. Great candidates for this alternative are those with blemished skin that doesn’t necessarily sag but does show signs of aging, such as sun spots and fine lines, particularly around mucous membranes like the mouth and eyes. Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are types of carefully managed skin injury that can be categorized within the area of skin resurfacing. Also within this area are chemical peels.

Face Lift Creams are broadly accessible, both at smaller local shops as well as larger stores. Most face creams pledge to do everything from diminishing fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging, to promising to turn the clock back and take 20 years off your face, but only some are really able to do this. Honestly speaking, anti-aging and Face Lift Creams are the least invasive alternatives, but they’re also really temporary in effects and can cost thousands of dollars over the years compared to surgical techniques. These treatments also contain inflammatory and irritating ingredients which can aggravate skin or lead to other problems. Should you opt to go with a face cream, choose one with ingredients that include retinal, kinetin, copper peptides, coenzyme Q10 and hydroxyl acids in large amounts; all of these ingredients have had very favorable evaluations from others who wanted to turn back the aging process with no surgery as well.
