Why Do I Need to Maintain My Facelift?
The results from a facelift are long-lasting, but they are not permanent. After a facelift, the natural aging process continues. Although you will still look more youthful than if you had never had a facelift, taking care of yourself is essential to maintaining your results.
Luckily, several rejuvenation treatments can help you put your best face forward for years. You can also make smarter lifestyle choices to care for your skin better.
How Can I Extend the Life of My Facelift?
Many skin treatments are available to help you pamper your skin and keep the beautiful results of your facelift. Choose your favorite or a combination of them to keep your skin looking fresh and lustrous throughout the years.
1. Facial Peels
A chemical solution applied to the skin to remove damaged outer layers and reveal fresh, smooth skin, a facial peel or chemical peel, can completely rejuvenate skin. We offer a variety of facial peels for different concerns, such as Skin Brightening, Pigment Balancing, and Vitalizing.
Treat yourself to a facial peel regularly to enjoy continued anti-aging benefits. A light peel can be done every four to six weeks, while a medium peel can be done every three to four months.
2. Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled punctures in the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and can treat various conditions, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, skin tone, and loose skin.
Depending on your results and goals, microneedling may be repeated every few months to keep your skin looking radiant.
3. Dermal Fillers
Fillers add volume to the face to enhance facial features, smooth lines, and restore youthful plumpness. Numerous dermal filler options, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, are available. Fillers can be injected in various areas, including the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes.
Depending on the area and type of filler, this treatment can last anywhere from six months to two years or more.
How Can I Maintain My Facelift at Home?
Between treatments, you can do your part to care for your skin:
- Avoid the sun, and wear wide-brimmed hats to protect your face from the number one culprit of aging and skin cancer.
- Wear sunscreen whenever you go outside. Look for an SPF of at least 30, as well as PA++ to block UVA rays.
- Don’t smoke. Smoking can break down collagen and elastin in the skin and cause wrinkles and sagging.
- Eat a healthy diet and stay hydrated. Hydration is the best way to improve skin elasticity and prevent aging. Eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats supplies the skin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits and keeps it looking fresh and vibrant.
In addition to these lifestyle habits, you should also use medical-grade skin care products. These products, often developed by dermatologists, contain potent anti-aging, hydrating, and other benefits. Using these products in between your skin treatments will ensure that your skin stays in top shape every day for years.
What Else Can Give Me the Best Facelift Results?
If you have yet to undergo facelift surgery, consider combining your facelift with other procedures for the most comprehensive results and easier maintenance.
- Brow Lift: Because a facelift treats the midface downwards, we recommend a brow lift to reduce forehead wrinkles and provide an attractive lift to the upper face.
- Eyelid Surgery: Combining facelift surgery with eyelid surgery to refresh tired eyes and improve peripheral vision.
