Looking For Non-Surgical Face Lifts?

The vast increase in the use of Zoom and other video conferencing software during the lockdown has had many people scrutinising their reflections during a video meeting and start considering if a nip, tuck, or lift might help.

However, you’re far from alone if you have been contemplating your facial aesthetics, and the Guardian reports that there has even been a 70 per cent increase in men seeking non-surgical facelift treatment options.

Recent data from Google have revealed a 160 per cent rise in searches for the ‘mini face lift’, and then the British Association of Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) has reported a 70 per cent increase in requests for virtual consultations during the pandemic, which has been named the ‘zoom boom’.

Going under the knife is invasive, expensive, has a high element of risk, and is also a huge commitment. However, there are plenty of non-surgical options available that don’t include the same risk or investment.

Dermal fillers have been developed to target different layers of the skin, and practitioners will ensure that each patient has a bespoke service. These fillers, made from synthetic hyaluronic acid that is naturally produced by the human body, are injected into targeted areas of the face, commonly the temples, jawline and cheek area.

Typically, the treatment is performed as an ‘underfill’, giving an overall look of rejuvenation without any puffiness, which means that the option remains to add more at a later stage. The results from around six to 12 months and there are only 30 minutes of downtime after the treatment and only a slight risk of bruising.
