Non Surgical Face Lift
When it comes to a facelift procedure, many patients assume that it will be expensive, require invasive plastic surgery, and only be useful for those over fifty. However, thanks to non-surgical facelift techniques, patients of all ages can experience transformative anti-aging and skin-tightening effects with minimally invasive procedures and no downtime required. Dr. Michele Green is an expert in NYC in non-invasive cosmetic dermatology treatments. From those in their 30’s and upward, patients rely on non-surgical face lift treatments to improve the look and feel of their skin, increase elastin and collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and prevent sagging skin or age-related volume loss from the midface to the jawline. Non-surgical face lift treatments can even be used to create a non-invasive neck lift.
Non-surgical face lift treatments are all non-invasive, meaning that they don’t have the same risks, costs, or recovery times that are associated with a traditional facelift surgery by a plastic surgeon. A non-surgical facelift may include a combination of different procedures, from injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Sculptra, to chemical peels, Kybella injections, laser treatments such as Fraxel, and skin tightening treatments with radio-frequency like Thermage FLX, and microneedling treatments with PRP and Vivace, among others. Dr. Green will carefully assess your desired results and combine the best dermal fillers, lasers, and other non-surgical treatments to produce a complete facial rejuvenation with natural-looking results.
If you’re interested in non-invasive cosmetic procedures, which require no incisions, reduce skin laxity, tighten loose skin, treat fine lines and deeper wrinkles, and improve sagging skin, then a non-surgical facelift may be the best treatment for you. These cutting-edge non-surgical treatments, offered in Dr. Green’s private NYC Upper East Side office, have no downtime. They will improve the visible signs of aging and skin tone, replace volume loss, and treat sun damage with no general anesthesia needed. Dr. Michele Green is an expert in cosmetic dermatology and is consistently voted one of NYC’s top doctors. Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience in anti-aging treatments, skincare, and non-invasive procedures and will create a custom non-surgical facelift treatment plan to provide you with the best cosmetic results.
What is a Non-Surgical Face Lift?
A non-surgical facelift is a term that refers to the unique combination of non-invasive cosmetic procedures used to achieve pan-facial rejuvenation and an overall more youthful appearance. Non-surgical facelifts typically incorporate skin tightening treatments, such as Thermage FLX and Vivace, cosmetic injectables, such as Botox or dermal fillers, resurfacing laser treatments, and other collagen induction treatments like PRP with microneedling. Non-surgical face lift procedures are preferred by many patients who are seeking pan-facial rejuvenation treatments due to their completely customizable nature and the fact that there is very little involved in regard to downtime and discomfort.
During your consultation with Dr. Green in her private NYC dermatology office, she will help determine the best combination of non-invasive treatments for your non-surgical facelift treatment plan. Dr. Green has over two and half decades of experience providing the best non-surgical cosmetic treatments for some of the most discerning men and women worldwide. Non-invasive cosmetic treatments have soared in popularity due to their exceptional ability to provide patients with quick, painless, pan-facial rejuvenation solutions that produce natural-looking and long-lasting results without any downtime.
Does Non-Surgical Face Lift work?
Yes! When you consult with Dr. Michele Green in NYC regarding a non-surgical facelift treatment, you will have the opportunity to discover which particular non-invasive cosmetic procedure or a unique combination of cosmetic procedures will work best for you in terms of addressing your specific skin concerns and producing optimal results that are long-lasting and natural-looking. Your facial rejuvenation treatment does not have to include plastic surgery for it to be effective and provide you with improved skin elasticity, skin tone, and skin texture. Non-surgical facelifts are an incredibly effective option for men and women alike who are looking for a way to minimize the visible signs of aging and get smoother, firmer, brighter skin without the need for any invasive plastic surgery procedures. For many, improving the appearance of skin laxity in the lower face and jowls is the ultimate anti-aging goal. It is always best to consult an experienced board-certified dermatologist, like Dr. Michele Green in NYC, for cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers and laser treatments to have the most effective and safest results for your non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Working with an expert dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green is the best way to ensure you avoid unwanted side effects. Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience performing non-surgical facelift treatments and will recommend the best combination of non-invasive cosmetic treatments that will rejuvenate your skin and restore a more youthful appearance.
How does a Non-Surgical Face Lift work?
The first step in having an effective non-surgical facelift is to schedule a consultation with an expert like Dr. Michele Green in New York. Dr. Green will recommend the best non-surgical cosmetic treatment options for you based on your skin tone, skin type, and specific needs and goals. Non-surgical face lift procedures typically work by stimulating the production of new collagen in the skin, which in turn produces a tightening, firming, and revitalizing effect. Collagen is the structural protein in the skin that acts as a scaffold, providing smoothness and elasticity. With age, collagen production naturally decreases, causing age-related facial skin laxity, wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss. Various non-invasive cosmetic procedures can be used in a complementary fashion to target various aspects of aging skin, such as replacing lost volume with dermal fillers. Essentially, a non-surgical facelift provides facial rejuvenation without the need for cosmetic surgery, downtime, or discomfort. To understand more about how your non-surgical facelift treatment would work for you, it’s best to consult with Dr. Green at her boutique dermatology office in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan.
Who is a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift?
When browsing through non-invasive cosmetic treatments for facial rejuvenation, the sheer number of options available may be overwhelming initially. Working with a board-certified dermatologist for your non-surgical cosmetic treatments is the fastest, most efficient way of understanding whether or not you are a good candidate for a certain type of procedure. In general, a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift is an individual experiencing some degree of skin laxity, facial volume loss, lack of facial contour, double chin, or the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many patients prefer to opt for non-surgical cosmetic treatment options that produce natural-looking, long-lasting results and that do not involve any discomfort or a significant amount of downtime.
When you consult with Dr. Michele Green in New York City, you will have the opportunity to discuss in-depth your individual skin concerns and your personal aesthetic goals. Together you will identify the ideal non-invasive treatment options that are effective and appropriate choices for your skin tone and skin type that delivers the optimal cosmetic results. If the non-invasive cosmetic procedures available are not going to be sufficient for correcting the amount of skin laxity a patient presents with, Dr. Green will provide an honest assessment and may refer you to a plastic surgeon for cosmetic surgery that can adequately address your concerns.
What is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a term that is used to describe facial rejuvenation treatment that consists of utilizing cosmetic injectables, including neurotoxins such as Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and dermal filler products like Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, and Belotero. The goal of a liquid facelift is for pan-facial skin rejuvenation, volume restoration, and creating a youthful-looking appearance. The best liquid facelift is performed by an experienced board-certified cosmetic dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green in NYC. Dr. Green can provide patients with younger looking, smoother skin, enhance key facial features, and eliminate the visible signs of aging in just 30 minutes with minimal downtime. Dr. Green is an expert injector and has over 25 years of experience providing the best cosmetic injections for her patients from around the world. Dr. Green is recognized and appreciated internationally for her holistic approach and “less is more” philosophy when it comes to cosmetic injections for facial rejuvenation treatment, giving her patients natural-looking, long-lasting results so that they look and feel their absolute best.
Botox Injections
Neuromodulators, like Botox, are ideal for eliminating dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles form due to repeated facial expressions, like smiling or furrowing and raising the eyebrows, and are most commonly seen as creases on the forehead, between the eyebrows (the 11 lines that develop in the glabellar region), and around the eyes (the crow’s feet). Botox essentially “freezes” the nerve signals to wrinkle-causing muscles, releasing tension and thus reducing the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles on the face. An increasing number of patients, both male and female, are electing to engage with preventative Botox – also referred to as “Baby Botox” or “Botox sprinkles.” Preventative Botox is a cosmetic treatment that essentially helps to prevent the signs of aging (fine lines and deep facial folds) from developing before they even begin to appear. Botox is also commonly used to provide patients with a non-surgical brow lift, which helps to open up the eye area and create an overall more youthful appearance. Neck bands can also be treated effectively with Botox to provide a non-surgical neck lift. When Botox is injected into the neck, it provides skin tightening results within a few days. It is often referred to as a Nefertiti lift. As with many of these treatments, Botox is a complementary treatment that can be used alongside other techniques, including lasers, microneedling, and dermal fillers, to improve several different problem areas simultaneously.

Dermal Fillers for a non-surgical facelift
Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are often incorporated into facial rejuvenation treatment plans due to their ability to restore facial volume immediately, reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contour without any downtime involved. Dermal fillers are also an excellent treatment option for cheek augmentation, lip augmentation, fine lines around the mouth, chin, and jawline definition, making them a versatile non-surgical cosmetic treatment option for patients with varying needs and goals. Popular dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring humectant that pulls moisture from the environment for immediate volume restoration. There are various different fillers within the families of Juvederm and Restylane that are unique in consistency, thickness, and G-prime to cater to the different areas of the face for the most natural-looking results. Another popular dermal filler, Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid. Sculptra is a liquid injection, in essence a bio-stimulant that promotes collagen synthesis for a gradual and natural looking appearance for volume replacement and to treat fine lines.
Juvederm Injections
Juvederm is a popular hyaluronic acid dermal filler product that is often used for the treatment of moderate facial wrinkles in the midface, nasolabial creases (“laugh lines”), and “marionette lines” around the mouth. Juvederm Voluma™ XC is an FDA-approved dermal filler that can be used to help improve the appearance of facial wrinkles. Juvederm Voluma™ XC is great at helping to correct volume loss in the mid-face area, which can reduce the appearance of facial hollowing, particularly on the cheeks, chin, and temples. This dermal filler is amazing at restoring lost facial volume and making you appear younger in a very natural way. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, another dermal filler in the Juvederm family, is perfect for softening moderate to severe nasolabial folds, smile lines, and marionette lines, and it can also be injected for lip enhancement. Other Juvederm dermal filler products include Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Vollure, Juvederm Volbella, and Juvederm Volux.

Restylane Dermal Filler
Restylane is another family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that Dr. Green utilizes for a non-surgical facelift and non-invasive skin rejuvenation. For treating wrinkles, Restylane or Restylane Lyft may be the right treatment for you. Restylane Lyft is great at improving the appearance of deeper lines, wrinkles, and even facial scarring, while Restylane can help remove more superficial wrinkles. Restylane and Juvederm are both innovative hyaluronic acid fillers that can boost volume in the skin for a wonderfully natural look.
Restylane Defyne® is made for deep smile lines and laugh lines, and Restylane Refyne® is for moderate smile lines and laugh lines. Restylane® Silk is the first FDA-approved treatment designed specifically for the lips and the fine lines around your lips. Restylane Silk’s unique, refined formulation, with small particle size, is designed for precise lip shaping and for smoothing the lines around your mouth to create a natural look. As we age, one of the main areas which show the visible signs of aging are the lips and the perioral lines.
Restylane Contour is the newest addition to the Restylane family of dermal filler products, designed specifically for injection into the mid-face. Restylane contour is ideal for injection into this area due to its flexibility, smooth integration into the skin, and its texture that is perfect for both providing support and replenishing volume. This makes dermal filler injections with Restylane Contour an excellent option for patients who are experiencing a lack of volume or contour in the midface and seek a non-surgical option for facelift treatment. Restylane Contour can also be used as a temporary treatment for patients who are considering having a more permanent cheek augmentation procedure, such as a facelift, cheek implants, or fat grafting, but who are not quite ready to undergo an invasive procedure that requires significant more downtime than fillers.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a dermal filler product that is different from many other commonly used hyaluronic acid fillers in that it is composed of a substance called poly-L-lactic acid, an FDA approved biocompatible material used as a collagen stimulator. Sculptra is a cosmetic injectable that is used to stimulate new collagen production within the treatment area and is ideal for use when it comes to providing volume restoration and improving hollows, as well as improving wrinkles, depressions, skin folds, stretch marks, and scars. Sculptra is biodegradable, which means it is gradually broken down and naturally removed from the body. Dr. Green also commonly incorporates Sculptra into the treatment plans for patients who are struggling with acne scars. Sculptra can be used to treat a wide number of areas, such as deep facial wrinkles, cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds, temples, mid-face, and jowls.
Radiesse
Radiesse® is another unique cosmetic injectable filler that is composed of a substance called Calcium Hydroxyapatite. Radiesse is commonly used to treat wrinkles and deep lines around the nose and mouth area, including nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines) and marionette lines. Using a patented microsphere technology, each injection of Radiesse starts a process called collagenases, which stimulates new collagen production near the injection sites. At the same time, the CaHA gel microspheres themselves provide immediate volume to fill in visible deep lines and wrinkles. Most patients observe that the results of their treatment with Radiesse last for about one year.
Kybella
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved cosmetic injectable treatment that is used to eliminate excess fat, remove the double chin and contour the neck, jowls, and jawline. Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring enzyme in the body that dissolves fat cells. With simple, minimally-invasive injections, Kybella can permanently dissolve fat cells in the treated area. Most patients require 3-4 treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve the desired results and have permanent fat cell destruction. Kybella injections have become increasingly popular due to the minimal downtime and discomfort with no incisions or general anesthesia needed. Kybella can also be used to treat fat bulges on the body as well, including bra and abdominal fat, without any plastic surgery like liposuction involved. Kybella is an excellent non-surgical option for fat removal and face and neck contouring and complements well with CoolSculpting, Thermage, Vivace, and other non-surgical facelift procedures for ultimate facial contouring and anti-aging.

Other Non-Invasive Face Lift Procedures
CoolSculpting for permanent fat loss
For those who are struggling with stubborn pockets of fat that are unresponsive to regular exercise and a healthy diet, Coolsculpting is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can remove unwanted excess fat, contour the face, and help provide a more youthful appearance. Liposuction is a surgical and invasive fat removal procedure that is not always the best option for patients, whether due to excessive recovery time or the risks of invasive plastic surgery. Coolsculpting is an effective non-surgical alternative that is painless and is not associated with any downtime. CoolSculpting utilizes FDA-approved applicators that work via cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat cells in a targeted area. CoolSculpting is not indicated as a weight loss or a treatment for obesity. The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting treatment is a patient who has reached their ideal weight but still has specific bulges of fat that are unresponsive to regular exercise and a healthy diet. CoolSculpting reduces the fat cells in a single treatment area by 25 percent without any side effects and can be of great benefit to patients seeking non-invasive facelift solutions to reduce the appearance of the double chin permanently.
Laser Treatments to Complement a Nonsurgical Face Lift
Laser treatments are a modern approach to treating the signs of aging that is both highly effective and popular with many Hollywood celebrities. There are many different types of laser treatments that can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns. However, not all lasers are created equal and should be used with caution on darker skin tones and those with hyperpigmentation or melasma. It is important to consult a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green in Manhattan, who is experienced in treating all skin types. When you consult Dr. Green on your anti-aging and skincare goals, she will carefully assess your skin and create a customized anti-aging and skin rejuvenation plan to create a youthful complexion and restore your confidence. Find out more about the wide range of different skin rejuvenation techniques using laser technology.
Fraxel Dual
Fraxel Dual is a popular fractionated laser that creates controlled, microscopic injuries to the skin to induce the natural wound-healing process of the skin and create new collagen without significant downtime. The Fraxel Dual laser is equipped with two distinct settings or laser beams, making this a two-for-one laser treatment. The 1927 nm wavelength is a Thulium laser that can remove pigmentation, skin discoloration, age spots, and sun damage from the superficial layer of the skin. This specific wavelength targets chromophores or colored elements within skin cells to create a controlled, local thermal reaction to destroy pigmented spots. The 1550 nm wavelength Erbium component is used to improve skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. The Erbium technology delivers the energy deeper into the skin, stimulating new collagen synthesis. Fraxel is best for Fitzpatrick skin types I-III for safe and effective results. Dr. Green utilizes a combination of laser treatments like Fraxel to reverse sun damage, along with Thermage RF laser for skin tightening and Botox and dermal fillers for ultimate skin rejuvenation.
Radiofrequency (RF) Technology
Non-invasive cosmetic procedures that utilize radiofrequency technology can be incredibly beneficial for patients that are seeking options for their non-surgical face lift treatment. Many treatment modalities that use radiofrequency technology work by heating the inner layers of the skin. Through heat application, the treatment helps to tighten already existing collagen in the skin while simultaneously encouraging new collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is naturally found in the skin and provides it with a firm foundation and a supple, youthful appearance. The production of new collagen in the skin that is stimulated by treatment with radiofrequency technology not only helps to firm and tighten skin, improving skin elasticity, but also helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Thermage FLX is one example of a non-surgical, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency technology to provide smoother, firmer, tighter. In just a single treatment session, Thermage is able to induce new collagen production within the skin to create a more youthful appearance. Thermage can be used to treat the face in a non-surgical face lift, but can also be used to treat other areas of the body that are commonly affected by skin laxity that often develops due to aging including the upper arms, abdomen, thighs, chest, and neck. The innovative radiofrequency technology of Thermage is able to safely and effectively hear the inner layers of the skin, resulting in a tightening effect for the existing collagen in skin and the stimulation of new collagen production, leading to a more youthful complexion. Thermage FLX is the latest generation of skin tightening lasers, which produces even faster and greater cosmetic results.
Vivace RF Microneedling is one of the newest cosmetic procedures that has been approved by the FDA for improving the texture, tone, and elasticity of skin for patients of every skin tone and skin type. This non-surgical treatment works by combining microneedling with radio frequency (RF) energy, treating the epidermal and dermal layers of skin to stimulate new collagen production. Vivace Microneedling is an excellent non-invasive treatment option for skin tightening, as well as for improving the overall skin texture, including reducing the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, and enlarged pores. In order to achieve the best cosmetic results from your Vivace treatment, Dr. Green recommends that patients engage in three Vivace treatment sessions that are each spaced four weeks apart.
eMatrix Laser is an innovative resurfacing treatment that uses bi-polar radio frequency energy to heat below the skin’s surface while keeping the top layers of skin intact. The procedure induces the natural wound healing process of skin, stimulating new collagen production in the dermis. New collagen production leads to a smoother, brighter, tighter complexion that lasts. Since the energy is delivered below the skin’s surface, patients are able to achieve remarkable rejuvenation results without a lengthy downtime. eMatrix can be used to target an array of skin concerns including wrinkles, sun damage, skin laxity, acne scars, stretch marks, skin discoloration, and enlarged pore size. Most patients require a short series of treatment sessions to attain their desired results, and eMatrix is easily combined with other non-surgical cosmetic procedures, such as Botox, dermal fillers, and Thermage, to achieve pan-facial rejuvenation.
Thermage vs. Ultherapy for non-surgical face lift
Ultherapy and Thermage are both non-surgical treatment options that produce skin tightening effects and can be used in a non-surgical facelift plan. The primary difference between the two treatment options is that Thermage uses radiofrequency energy, whereas Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy. The treatments access the deep dermis to effect the SMAS muscle, which is typically tightened by a plastic surgeon during a surgical facelift procedure. Due to the nature of the Ultherapy treatment, one of the potential side effects that can occur is volume loss. The reason that patients who have a non-surgical face lift via Ultherapy may appear to look sunken or hollow following their treatment is that the ultrasound energy used to produce the tightening effect can penetrate the skin too deeply, affecting the fatty layer of skin essentially “melting” the area. Thermage, however, is not associated with this potential side effect and for this reason is the preferred treatment for skin tightening in Dr. Green’s NYC based office. Not only is Thermage recommended over Ultherapy by Dr. Green, but although Ultherapy treatment can be useful for reversing skin laxity, the painless and universal success of Thermage makes it a more competitive treatment option for most patients. Additionally, Ultherapy is not FDA approved for treating other areas of the body, whereas the Thermage skin tightening treatment can be used on areas other than the face such as the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, chest, and neck. For more information, check out our detailed comparison of Thermage and Ultherapy.

How much is a non-surgical face lift?
The total cost of having a non-surgical face lift is ultimately dependent upon a number of contributing factors including the experience level of the provider who performs your treatment, the geographic location of the office in which you are treated, and the type and number of non-invasive procedures that are incorporated into your treatment plan to produce your final results. During your consultation with Dr. Michele Green in New York City regarding non surgical face lift treatment, you will determine the non invasive cosmetic procedures that are best suited to addressing your concerns and producing your ideal cosmetic results, and at that time the cost of the treatments will be discussed. When you work with Dr. Green, she will provide you with non-surgical cosmetic treatment options that work best for you within your budget.
Which non-surgical face lift is best?
When it comes to selecting the best non-surgical face lift procedures to incorporate into your facial rejuvenation treatment plan, there is no one best treatment for every patient. The best treatment non-surgical treatment depends on the areas of facial rejuvenation that need addressing, whether it be facia hollows, skin laxity, jowls, or sun damage. When you consult with board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Michele Green, she will always give you an honest assessment and curate a treatment plan that best addresses your specific cosmetic concerns.Some of the most commonly recommended treatment options for incorporation into non-surgical facelift plans include Thermage for skin tightening and laser treatments such as Fraxel Dual for improving skin texture and tone. The combination of these two treatments effectively restores a youthful appearance by tightening and revitalizing skin. Facial volume loss and deep wrinkles are usually best treated with dermal filler injections. Dr. Green often recommends dermal filler products like Juvederm Voluma and Sculptra for replenishing facial volume and for achieving liquid facelift results. Those who also want to reduce dynamic wrinkles on the skin can benefit immensely from treatments with neurotoxin such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. By combining these non-invasive procedures, with Dr. Green’s MGSKINLABs, Inc. line of skincare products, Dr. Green will help you achieve a more healthy, youthful appearance for your skin.
How long does a non surgical facelift last?
The cosmetic effects from your non surgical facelift treatment will vary slightly depending on the types of non-invasive procedures utilized to produce your individual results. The results from these non surgical face lift treatments with Dr. Michele Green are long lasting and produce natural looking cosmetic results. Patients typically schedule maintenance treatment sessions on a semi annual or annual basis in order to keep up their optimal results. In general, neurotoxins like Botox produce results that typically last between 3 and 4 months, depending on the treatment area. Kybella and CoolSculpting treatments lead to permanent fat destruction in the area treated, whether it be for the double chin, neck, or body.
The cosmetic benefits of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers last between six months and one year, depending on the type of dermal filler injected, your individual metabolism, and the cosmetic area of the face treated. Thin hyaluonic acid fillers for fine lines, such as Belotero, typically last six months, and thicker dermal fillers for volume loss, such as Juvederm Voluma, can last more than one year. Dermal fillers, such as Sculptra, help stimulate the production of new collagen, with results typically lasting for up to two years. Resurfacing laser treatments provide patients with long-lasting results, with most patients engaging in a maintenance session on a yearly basis after achieving their ideal baseline results. Skin tightening treatment with Thermage radiofrequency can last for up to two years, but many patients choose to have Thermage performed annually for the best cosmetic results. When you discuss your non surgical face lift treatment with Dr. Green, you will have the opportunity to establish a timeline for your initial treatment series and learn the recommended schedule for maintaining results.
What is the least invasive face lift?
Many of Dr. Michele Green’s patients in New York City are interested in the non-surgical cosmetic treatments that will provide them with the most optimal cosmetic results and that have the least amount of downtime and discomfort. An increasing number of patients are looking for non-invasive, non-surgical treatment options to accommodate their busy schedules and lives. Every individual patient presents with their own specific anti-aging concerns and cosmetic goals, and many patients also have their own preferences about what types of non-surgical cosmetic procedures they want to include in their treatment plans. When you work with Dr. Green, you will have the opportunity to identify a number of treatment options that will provide you with non-invasive, non-surgical face lift solutions to get the results you‘re looking for.
What is the most effective non-surgical facelift?
The most effective non-surgical facelift is a unique combination of treatment options that are carefully and intentionally selected by a board-certified dermatologist, like Dr. Green, and cater to your specific skin concerns and overall aesthetic goals. Dr. Green suggests combining Thermage with cosmetic injectables like Botox and dermal fillers for the best cosmetic results. Thermage is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure that utilizes radiofrequency energy to stimulate new collagen production in the dermal layers of skin. The results of Thermage will be enhanced structural support, resulting in firmer, tighter, smoother skin.
Botox is often combined with these dermal fillers to relax the brows and crow’s feet. Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that is considered the gold standard for eliminating the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are those which form as a result of repeating facial expressions over time, and typically first develop between the eyebrows (the glabella), the forehead, and the crow’s feet. Dermal fillers are used in all different areas of the face to replenish lost facial volume, enhance contour and definition, and reduce facial wrinkles that form related to collagen loss. When you meet with Dr. Green for your initial facial rejuvenation consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss with her your specific skin concerns and ideal aesthetic goals. She will physically assess your facial anatomy and help you determine which combination of non-invasive treatments will provide you with the most effective non-surgical facelift results.
What is the best treatment for sagging jowls?
The best cosmetic procedure for treating sagging jowls depends on the degree of skin laxity. For improving a mild to moderate amount of skin laxity, Thermage FLX treatment is ideal. Thermage is a non-invasive treatment that relies on radiofrequency heat to stimulate new collagen production in the dermis. Collagen is a protein in the skin that provides it with a firm underlying foundation, and which naturally depletes over time as part of the aging process. By inducing new collagen production, Thermage firms and tightens the skin, eliminating the appearance of loose, sagging jowls. Patients with severe skin laxity may benefit more from having a facelift surgery, as very loose skin may not improve drastically with Thermage FLX. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green regarding skin tightening, she will help you understand whether or not you are a good candidate for Thermage treatment. If the degree of skin laxity is too severe for Thermage FLX treatment, Dr. Green will refer you to a plastic surgeon for a cosmetic surgery consultation.
What Is a Caci non surgical face lift?
A Caci non-surgical face lift is a dive that uses microcurrent LED technology to mirror a person’s own natural bioelectrical field, in turn helping muscles to lift, firm and tone. Though there is no downtime required for this treatment, it has a lot of upkeep, needing a minimum of 10-15 treatments in order to achieve optimal results. For this reason, Dr. Green often recommends other non-surgical face lift options in order to achieve more satisfactory results.
Can you get a facelift without surgery?
Yes! It is now easier than ever before to have a non-surgical facelift. Thanks to the various resurfacing laser treatments, dermal fillers, and skin tightening treatments available in the private dermatology office of Dr. Michele Green in NYC, it is entirely possible to improve the texture, tone, and elasticity of skin without significant downtime or discomfort. Whether you are interested in non-invasive options like skin resurfacing laser treatments, cosmetic injectables like Botox or dermal fillers, or radiofrequency skin tightening treatments, Dr. Green has the non-surgical solution for you. If you are interested in getting a facelift without any surgery involved whatsoever, schedule a consultation with Dr. Green in New York who has the extensive experience and expertise to recommend the best non-surgical cosmetic treatment options for you.
Can you tighten skin after 50?
Yes! Skin tightening after 50 is entirely attainable without cosmetic surgery thanks to Thermage radiofrequency treatment. Patients with a mild to moderate amount of skin laxity can achieve smoother, tighter, firmer skin in just a single treatment session of Thermage. Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that relies on radiofrequency energy to stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis of skin. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the skin that provides it with a firm underlying foundation and enhanced structural support, and that begins to deplete as we age over time. This breakdown of collagen is what leads to skin laxity and the appearance of loose, sagging skin. By inducing new collagen production, Thermage improves skin elasticity and provides a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. For patients with severe skin laxity, Dr. Green may refer you to a trusted plastic surgeon. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, she will work with you to determine which skin tightening treatment you are a good candidate for. Together you will create a personalized treatment plan for rejuvenation that incorporates the in-office procedures and specially formulated skincare products that will help you achieve and maintain a natural-looking, long-lasting youthful complexion.

What is the newest skin tightening procedure in 2022?
Thermage is considered the gold standard when it comes to non-invasive skin tightening procedures but with constant developments being made, many patients wonder about the newest treatment option each year. The latest generation of the skin tightening device is Thermage FLX. The Thermage FLX is the state-of-art, latest generation in non-invasive skin tightening technology by Solta Medical. Thermage FLX is equipped with AccuRep technology that disperses an incredibly precise, even amount of radiofrequency energy with each pulse to provide enhanced cosmetic results and a faster treatment session compared to older models of Thermage. Not only is Thermage FLX ideal for achieving a non-surgical facelift, but can also be used to treat loose skin on the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, chest, neck, and décolletage. One of the greatest benefits of Thermage is that there is absolutely zero downtime involved with the treatment, meaning patients can resume their usual daily activities immediately upon completion of their procedure and can schedule their treatment session with ease. The treatment is also painless, and no topical numbing cream is required in preparation for the procedure, unlike many other skin tightening treatments available.

Fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, and crepey skin are a natural part of the aging process, but for many people their appearance can induce feelings of self-consciousness and make us feel much older than we truly are. For those who are looking for a way to revitalize their skin and achieve a more youthful appearance without undergoing an invasive facial plastic surgery, non-surgical facelift procedures may be just the solution.
