Is There a Safe, Non-Surgical Alternative to a REAL Face Lift?

Is There a Safer Alternative to a Face Lift Operation? A few years back the FDA approved a non surgical face lift treatment wrinkles, but it turns out that this procedure also acts as a mini-face lift too. Unlike wrinkle treatment or wrinkle filler procedures like restylane injections or botox for wrinkles - this procedure helps to actually tighten-up loose sagging skin.

That makes it perfect for place that botox and restylane can't help - droopy jowls, sagging chin, droopy forehead, eyes, jaw line and those dreaded nasolabial folds (they are those parentheses you see around the mouth/nose area). The procedure is called Thermage and is a totally safe, clinically proven procedure to tighten the skin and improve the tone and texture.............all without injections, cutting, bleeding, anesthesia or any type surgery!

Thermage is done on an outpatient basis, by a qualified doctor. The procedure can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours and there is no downtime - so most people are resuming their normal activities quickly after the procedure.

The best part, Thermage can be done on all skin tones and all over the face, unlike laser which people of color may not obtain optimum benefits and wrinkle injections which do nothing for sagging, loose skin. Thermage works by heating collagen fibers in the deep layers of the skin and tissue - causing an immediate tightening action and stimulates collagen production. That is why results are seen immediately and continue to improve as collagen is build over the next six months.

To prolong the results one should follow the tips for healthy skin outlined in the web site listed below. For example, always apply top skin care products that help to continue this collagen growth, such as copper peptides and emu oil for healing. Another collagen builder (once you receive the go ahead from your doctor) is to perform skin needling to further stimulate collagen and elastin production. For more information, see below.

My Story..........

As a health advisor and research consultant with over 25 years experience in areas of health and anti-aging research, I've found lots of great and unusual information on aging skin care like Thermage and Skin Needling. You'll alos find great information about face massages, face exercises, and how to reduce pore size, improve skin tone, and regain the youthful contours of my face -- and many of these treatments can be done in your own home.
