Reader Qestion: S.M, Birmingham
I’ve been considering treatment for some time and have considered both surgical and non-surgical options. I’ve been researching facelifts, but I’m very confused about what this is. Every machine out there seems to promise this treatment and results a surgeon gives under the knife can’t be compared, surely? Should I opt for the surgical option for the best results?
Thank you for your extremely relevant question. It is very confusing when we see numerous machines being advertised by clinics, beauty salons and even hairdressers! It is important to realise that machines promising ‘facelifts’ vary hugely in their ability to ‘lift the face’. Most of those used by non-medical personal provide superficial results only and these can be quite short lived. However, for someone looking particularly for this kind of result, for example for a special occasion such as a wedding day, then these ‘make up treatments’ as I call them may be suitable.
More invasive machines use more intense energy levels and produce deeper tissue stimulation to provide a lift, these can produce fairly good results given the right operator. However, in my personal experience most of them over promise what can be achieved with ‘machine face lifts’. The reason for this is related to anatomy of the human face, when a surgeon performs a traditional ‘surgical facelift’ then the skin of the face is cut and the deeper tissues are literally ‘hitched up’ by stitching them into place to create the lifting effect. Of course, non-surgical machines cannot achieve this because they do not cut the skin or stitch the deeper structures but must stimulate them through some form of energy based device.
