What is the Pyramid Facelift? The Pyramid Facelift is a revolutionary treatment which offers all of the benefits of a facelift, without surgery. It can help with dermal volumising, skin resurfacing, skin tightening, skin rejuvenating, facial contouring, reducing pigmentation and reducing scarring.
You will see an immediate result as the treatment has an instant tightening effect, however the full results will take up to 8 weeks and last for up to 2 years.
Most patients will see the benefits of Profound last from six to nine months. At this time, a repeat treatment can be used to further maintain the smooth, taut, youthful-looking skin.
Profound is a revolutionary new energy-based facial treatment designed to create new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid – the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic. All without surgery, fillers or toxins, Profound dramatically improves aging skin, so you can look years younger.
The answer is that a surgical facelift remains an excellent option for many women and men who want better facial definition, smoother skin and an overall younger appearance. While numerous other options exist, facelifts are still the most effective way to lift sagging facial tissue and eliminate sagging neck skin.
The five alternatives to facelift surgery I utilize in my office are Thermage, Ultherapy, Thread lifting, Fillers, and two “Mini Surgery” procedures consisting of 3-D volume restoration and re-contouring using fat transfer and lower eyelid fat bag removal using transconjunctival approach.
Technically, there is no limit or “magic number” when it comes to how many facelifts can be performed. But as we mentioned, we want to make sure your results remain as natural as possible. Too many surgeries can make your face appear “pulled” or “worked on,” which is not always desirable.
Are Profound Results Permanent? The Profound treatment promotes the natural production of new elastin and collagen, with most patients seeing improvement 6 to 8 weeks after their treatments. Although the aging process will continue, results can last for years with periodic maintenance treatments.
Most people will start to notice an improvement 1 month after treatment. By three months after treatment approximately 80% of patients will be satisfied with the outcome. Improvement continues beyond this time such that by six months after treatment 90% of people will be satisfied with the outcome of treatment.
Profound microneedling has more downtime, but it's more effective than Ultherapy. This is because you don't need a series of Profounds like you to do with Ultherapy. You can quickly get the beautiful results you desire with one single treatment.
The cost of Profound starts at $4,000 for one treatment. Price varies depending on the size of the area being treated. Profound produces a 100% response rate to facial wrinkles with a single treatment. This can be compared to multiple sessions of aesthetic injectables or surgical options to achieve the same result.
Does the Profound Treatment Hurt? The Profound Procedure is surprisingly tolerable. The first 15 minutes of the treatment are spent injecting the skin to be treated with lidocaine—numbing medicine. Once the facial and neck skin are numb, the treatment is more easily tolerated.
Nucleofill is fantastic for the more mature age group as it regenerates sagging and dehydrated skin and thickens the tissues. It also lasts longer than Profhilo – up to a year after two treatments.
For people who get wrinkles, crepiness, or loose skin, this treatment has proven to be exemplary. It removes wrinkles from your skin and makes it appear clear, spotless, and flawless. By tightening your skin, it lifts it and makes you look younger and fresher.
* For Dermal Fillers – please do not plan to have any other skin treatments (peels, facials, microdermabrasion, micro needling) for 1 week prior and 2 weeks after your dermal filler treatment.
It's a perfect facelift-like treatment for patients who aren't ready for facelift surgery. In clinical studies, a single Profound treatment achieved 37% of the reduction in jowling and skin laxity of a facelift, without surgery, scars, or general anesthesia.
Firstly, the Profound RF is four times more powerful than the Morpheus8. It delivers energy deeper into the tissues and for a longer amount of time, allowing us to achieve optimum protein denaturation within one single treatment.
Profound can tighten the skin on the decollete area by stimulating the natural reproduction of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. With tighter skin on and around the neck and upper chest, patients report that they look years younger.
When performed correctly by the hands of a skilled surgeon, facelift results can be some of the most natural looking of any cosmetic procedure and can leave you with a rejuvenated and more youthful facial appearance.
Facelifts don't stop the aging process, but results are permanent. That means ten years down the line; you can still look a decade younger. Of course, every patient is unique, and many factors (both in and out of your control) affect results.
A mini facelift involves the placement of incisions in front of the ears which extend from the hairline to the bottom of the earlobe. The surgeon will then gently pull the skin and tissues up and outward the ear. Excess skin and tissue are removed to tighten the appearance of the skin.
Generally, a ponytail lift involves incisions made high up on the face – above the front of the ear or beyond the hairline. The facial cosmetic surgeon then pulls the ligaments below the skin to adjust and reduce sagging.
A thread lift is a minimally invasive facelift that can instantly tighten and lift areas compromised by volume loss and sagging such as the nasolabial folds, neck, cheeks, jowls, eyebrows, and eyelids.
The procedure is minimally invasive as it involves just having one deep stitch on each side of the head buried in the hair line, with a dissolving skin suture, so the scarring is hidden. This procedure gives a "mini-lift" and is a compromise for those who don't wish to undergo a full standard facelifting operation.
