1. Antiaging face – By Liquid Facelift, Ultherapy and Laser Liposculpting

Facial Aging occurs by three mechanism
1. Volume loss such as under eye depression, deep nasolabial folds, jowls
2. Texture changes such as wrinkles, creases, sun spots and pigment army changes
3. Skin elasticity loss such as sagging, folds, neck skin folds

The earliest changes are noticed under the eyes with hollowness and formation of " dark circles" or " tear trough deformity". Then it proceeds to side of mouth by forming deep groove. Later there is loss of volume in midface and jaw line altering the smooth contour of youthful face to uneven contour.

There is also accumulation of fat in certain areas of the face that adds to the aging effect such as jowl fat, jaw line fat and double chin. This results in change of face shape from a youthful oval or triangle to pear shape face.

In people with thin skin the facial muscle dynamics causes skin wrinkles similar to an " accordion" . The early wrinkles are called dynamic wrinkles which eventually leaves permanent lines and creases called as " static wrinkles".

Finally the elasticity of the skin is reduced and skin gets attenuated with time. This leads to lax and extra skin in the lower part of the face and neck.

All of the above aging process is directly related to the genetic pattern of aging process, environmental factors such as sun, dry air etc , hormonal changes, personal habits such as smoking and body changes such as weight gain and other disease process.

There are many Nonsurgical options to rejuvenate the face and reduce or delay signs of aging in the face. There are techniques and technologies that addresses each of the multiple factors affecting facial aging and these can be used in various combinations.

There are extensive studies and medical evidences to prove worth of these procedures.

1. Ultherapy, Radiofrequency, laser based equipments are purely non invasive methods to improve the texture and tone of the skin.
2. Liquid facelift is a term used to describe techniques based in injections to the face and it adresses the issue of volume loss
3. Thread lift is a technique that involves use of sutures and threads to address the sagging skin
4. Laser lipostructuring is a minimal invasive procedure to improve the shape of the face from pear shaped to a more oval and youthful face.

Liquid facelift
Liquid face lift is a new and advanced procedure to lift and rejuvenate the face. This procedure combines the use of botulinum toxin injections, filler injections and Microfat grafting.
The most give away sign of aging is the “Golden triangle of face”-lines around the eyes and mouth. -
Deep under eye circles, eye bags, smile lines, deep lines side of the nose, droopy mouth, jowls. These are some of the problems that come with age, lifestyle, and environmental factors etc
People are either looking at your eyes or lips and that’s when they notice and tend to judge you.
An immediate impression is formed about your age, energy, and fatigue level. Often you feel well rested and full of energy, but to others you look tired.
Reducing these signs of stress is highly motivational to people who suffer from such problems. Softening of these lines make them look fresh and feel more confident.
Liquid potions such as botox and fillers are wonderful medicine to reduce the aging signs.

The botulinum toxin injections are used to relax the muscle of forehead, frown area and crows feet. This reduces the accordion effect in the skin and minimizes wrinkles. These injections also help elevate the jaw line skin and neck skin by releasing the pull by the muscles from underneath.

Filler injections are useful to fill up lost volume in the temple area, under the eyes, midface, cheek bones, side of mouth and in the jowls area.

Microfat grafting is the most advanced form of treatment where fat is removed from thighs or tummy and small particles of fat along with stem cells are injected in the face. This improves the volume and lifts the skin. It also helps to improve the quality of skin my stimulating fibroblast if activity which eventually improves the collagen content of the skin.

Ultherapy:
How does it work?
The Ultrasound technology stimulates and produces new elastin and collagen, deep with-in the skin. It's completely non-surgical method which tightens tissues with no downtime and side effects.
Aging is an unavoidable truth of life and as we grow old, collagen weakens and elastin breaks causing loose and sagging skin. Loss of elastin causes brow lines, loose neck skin or wrinkles on the face/decollete.
ULTHERAPY works from the inside out to tighten and lift skin in a non invasive way, unlike the radio frequency or laser which works from the outside. The main difference or the advantage of the Ultherapy is that it penetrates deep into the skin up to 4.5 mm without damaging the skin surface. This depth otherwise can only be reached by surgical method and hence Ultherapy is effective alternate to facelift in a NON-SURGICAL method.
Highlights and Advantages of Ultherapy:
• SEE A HIGHER BROW
• SEE A TIGHTER NECK
• SEE A LIFT UNDER THE CHIN
• SEE A SMOOTH CHEST
• NATURAL LOOKING RESULTS
• NO TOXINS OF FILLERS
• NON SURGICAL METHOD
• IT'S ULTRASOUND
• EFFECT LAST LONG

2. NON SURGICAL FACIAL CONTOURING & LIFTING

Non-surgical face contouring & lift now is one of the most wanted procedure for the face and the clients has to be aware the difference between the skin tightening and face lifting, which is completely difference.
In term of tightening the skin, we actually improve the quality of skin from looser to tighter & better quality skin while face lift treatment will be when we really want to lift up the saggy skin by using modern non-surgical long lasting technology named Ultherapy.
Ultherapy uses the body's own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin, neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
For thin, loose and crepe-like skin, Monopolar & Bipolar radiofrequency with muscle firming can come to the rescue. Radio frequency energy is designed to heat the skin. The heat stimulates the body's production of collagen, tightening the skin. A series of 5 – 6 treatments are usually enough for good results. While firming the facial muscle with galvanic current can improve the shape of the face & make the facial tissue firmer.
Droopy eyelids respond particularly well to combination of Fractional CO2 laser, Radiofrequency & muscle firming around the eyes. The results won't appear until four to six months after the procedure, but the difference can be dramatic.
Fractionated CO2 Lasers, penetrate beneath the surface of the skin. This stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and improves skin tone and firmness.
Fractionated CO2 laser therapy is a good option for people hoping to improve both skin tone and texture. Each session may cause redness & brown spots which improves within recovery period of 5-7 days. For the best results, plan on two to three treatments with several weeks in between.
IPL & laser lights goes below the surface to a deeper layer of skin called the dermis. The pulses of light are administered to heat and destroy targeted cells and stimulate rejuvenation. IPL can reduce the redness associated with Rosacea or lighten dark circles under the eyes caused by clusters of blood vessels showing through the skin. Several sessions of IPL vaporize the blood vessels, leaving the surface skin undamaged. IPL can also remove unwanted pigmentation (like melasma, sun damaged spots and age spots) by destroying pigmented cells. IPL also stimulates collagen production, which can reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
If forehead creases are bringing you down, Botox injections can provide a temporary fix. In tiny doses, this relaxes the clenched facial muscles that cause crow's feet, frown lines, and the like. The injections take only a few minutes.
Chemical peels use an acid solution to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. The solution often contains a combination of glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, phenol or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Application can take as little as 15 minutes and may cause some stinging and irritation. Over the next few days, the upper layers of skin will peel, revealing newer, younger and smoother looking skin.
A series of treatments can reduce age spots, fine lines around the mouth and eyes, acne scars, and wrinkles caused by sun damage or aging.
Cosmetic fillers are substances that help smooth facial wrinkles and folds by bulking up the tissue underneath.
Today's cosmetic fillers have become sophisticated enough to treat problems beyond fine lines and wrinkles. Fillers can also mask tired-looking "bags" and dark circles under the eyes. By filling in the hollow area around the eye socket, this strategy reduces shadows, puffiness, and sunken eye appearance. Volume correction and enhance cheek bone.
