4 benefits of nonsurgical alternatives to facelift surgery

In the past, individuals who wanted to recontour their faces may have been limited to surgical procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift. But now, you don’t have to go under the knife to reverse signs of aging. At Resplendent Day Spa, we are pleased to provide nonsurgical options to combat wrinkles, dullness, saggy skin, and more aesthetic concerns that can take away from your youthful, healthy, and radiant look. There are at least four benefits associated with choosing minimally-invasive alternatives to surgery at our center for all things beauty and wellness in Long Beach, California.

No. 1: A proven treatment

You don’t have to undergo painful, time-consuming, and extensive treatments to get results. Our providers use energy-based devices and microneedling techniques to effectively improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, scars, and an uneven complexion. Evoke by InMode involves applying Radiofrequency energy (RF) to damaged areas of the skin. The energy generates controlled heating, which stimulates the production of firming collagen and bouncy elastin to tighten jowls, a double chin, and depressed or sunken areas (like the mid-face or cheeks). Morpheus8 by InMode is a “hybrid” system that uses RF and microneedling to tighten the skin. Microneedling is also a well-established service that creates small perforations in the skin. These perforations stimulate tissue repair and beneficial healing. As the targeted tissues are healed, you will gradually notice smoother skin and better quality.

No. 2: A comfortable process

Less invasive procedures are largely associated with better-tolerated treatment than more invasive procedures. This is very much the case with both Evoke and Morpheus8. Evoke is so gentle to the former option that no anesthetic or numbing is required for comfort. Most of our patients describe the sensation of the energy being delivered to the skin as a relaxing warmth, similar to a facial. As for the latter option, Morpheus8 is comfortable applying a numbing cream or gel to the targeted treatment site(s). Our team is also happy to discuss any concerns you may have about treatment before your appointment. There may be additional options to ensure you stay relaxed and comfortable at every step (depending on the specific service most appropriate for you and your needs).

No. 3: No big-time commitment

Evoke is a true lunchtime procedure. It can be completed in just 15 to 20 minutes. With Morpheus8, the actual treatment can also be done over the lunch hour (usually within 30 to 60 minutes); however, you will need to budget a little extra time for the numbing action of the anesthetic to kick in. We can discuss this further during a consultation and as your appointment nears. Additionally, Evoke treatments may occur every week. All it takes is around three to six treatments to get optimal results. For Morpheus8, treatments may be completed every month. Some of our patients love their results after just one treatment, though! If further treatments are required or desired, only two more appointments are usually necessary to regain your smooth, glowing skin and renewed contours and definition.

No. 4: No downtime

Surgical interventions or even more aggressive nonsurgical therapies might require many weeks if not months, away from work and the activities that you love due to the recovery-oriented demands placed on the body following these treatments. With our nonsurgical “facelifts,” we can get results without considerable recovery and interruptions in your busy and active schedule. Morpheus8 side effects are typically limited to red discoloration and swelling at the treatment sites, but they are not so extreme as to limit your day-to-day activities. The redness and sensitivity associated with Evoke go away in a few hours after treatment, and there is no downtime. To discover the benefits of these and other nonsurgical yet high-reward services, request a consultation at Resplendent Day Spa today. Our Long Beach, CA team can be reached at (562) 685-8050.
