Everybody asks me, how can I look younger without a facelift? Well, unfortunately, there's no substitute for a real facelift.
But for those people who aren't interested in going under the knife, there are ways that you can tighten up the skin of your lower face
without having surgery. Typically, these treatments aren't quite as dramatic, so you have to lower your expectations a little bit.
Some surgeons will use radiofrequency treatments like the Fractora, like the Refurb treatments.
Those can help to tighten up the skin without downtime. Some doctors will use more aggressive, fractionated laser treatments, and these can help tighten up the skin as well.
And then there are also some other treatments that will use deep ultrasound and other ways to heat up the deeper skin. While a lot of these treatments are very effective in tightening
up the skin, none of them, unfortunately, will give you quite the results of a facelift. In addition to surgery and other types of light-based treatments
like lasers or like radiofrequency treatments, there are ways that you can tighten up your skin just from the comfort of your own home.
If you're buying skincare creams that are going to tighten up your skin long term, typically recommend something with retinol or Retin-A. These
are scientifically proven to cause the skin to tighten up with time. If you're looking for a quick fix, however, there are some over-the-counter remedies
to get you a quick fix for a few hours. I typically recommend a treatment that has albumin in it that literally will act as a shrink wrap either for the bags under the eyes
