How to get a nonsurgical facelift in Edmonton

While your eyes might be the window to your soul, your face is the window to your health and your youthfulness, which is why many people choose to combat aging with facelifts. But did you know there are now non-surgical facelifts?

But aren’t facelifts plastic surgery?

Not anymore. With technological advances in dermatological medicine, you don’t have to go under the knife to restore volume, resurface skin or tighten deeper tissues.

Today, we can enhance your overall look with a non-surgical facelift in one appointment at our office. We can add structure to your jaw to minimize sagging (reducing the dreaded double chin), fill in the hollows under your eyes, minimize wrinkles and lines, plump up your lips, reshape your nose, and offset bone and fat loss in your cheeks and temples, all without performing actual surgery.

What exactly is a non-surgical facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is a customized course of dermatological procedures designed to give you a more youthful, rejuvenated look. It is targeted to the areas you choose and can include various treatments and procedures. Non-surgical facelifts vary from person to person, depending on your unique face and goals, but they’ll likely include some of the following.

Dermal fillers

From your forehead to your cheeks, and from your jawline to your under-eyes and temples, we use dermal fillers to help increase elasticity and fullness (think fine lines, under-eye hollows, scars and gauntness). The kind of filler we use depends on your skin, but we offer both synthetic and natural fillers, which are injected with fine needles.

A quick visit, dermal fillers offer instant, natural-looking results. How long they last depends on your skin, and follow-ups are a good idea, but the desired effect can last from two months to two years. We work with these dermal fillers: Juvederm®, Restylane®, Revanesse and RADIESSE®.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

Next up is your nose, of course. While nose jobs are still largely done surgically (especially for more challenging or distinctive changes), new innovations now allow us to reshape your nose without surgery. An increasingly popular procedure, non-surgical rhinoplasty uses carefully selected dermal filler injections to adjust trouble areas, from straightening and correcting to narrowing and widening. It smooths bumps, fixes imperfections and creates symmetry with subtlety, with little downtime and without surgery.

Lip injections

A facelift isn’t a facelift if you forget about your mouth.

Next to your eyes, your lips are the most looked-at part of your face.

As we age, our lips tend to lose some of their fullness, which we can easily remedy with lip injections. Using dermal fillers, neuromodulators or both, we can give your mouth the ultimate anti-aging treatment, making your lips fuller, softer and more attractive without being too obvious. At Rao Dermatology, we achieve a subtle, natural look by letting your lips’ natural shape guide us.
