The non surgical face lift has been the Holy Grail of plastic surgeons for the last 30 years.

The most promise for a non surgical face lift currently is probably Thermage, a treatment that heats the deep and middle layers of the dermis using RF or radio frequency energy. (You can think of it sort of as a microwave on a stick.)

This RF energy heats the dermis enough that the collagen in the skin ‘coils’, but does not burn, much like your eyebrows crinkle if you stand too close to the bonfire. (You can see why this is somewhat tricky.)

If you’re looking for information about Thermage or other non surgical face lift technologies, you should make sure that you have all of the information and facts. Medical Spa MD is a fantastic place to start. Since it has plastic surgeon forums you can see what the doctors are discussing among themselves and then ask knowledgeable questions form doctors that won’t be treating you. It’s easily the best way on the web to gather information before you look for a local derm or plastic to actually perform the treatment.

Non surgical face lifts may be coming, but they’re not really here yet. Of course you don’t have the risks and down time associated with surgical face lifts. Who want’s to wander through life with a permanent Joker grin.
