Non-surgical Facelift in the Seattle Vancouver area

 

The thought of surgery could be intimidating!

 

While Dr. Michael Lau is an internationally recognized cosmetic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and trained in both urogynecology (pelvic plastic and reconstructive surgery) and cosmetic surgery, he fully recognizes the need to have non-surgical alternatives when improving the aesthetics of body areas.

 

Dr. Lau has been spending his surgical career developing minimally invasive surgery technology and using only local anesthetics for all his cosmetic surgery to help women alleviate their fear of surgery and general anesthetics. He also recognizes that if he could achieve an outcome similar to one you’d get from surgery, but non-surgically, it would be just ideal. Dr. Lau has been working on such an approach.

 

Being a scientist, Dr. Lau knows the limitations of technology. He is honest in informing women how much non-surgical means could achieve.  For example:

 

Non-surgical Facelift

 

Surgical facelift aims to correct the effect of aging and gravity – saggy and lax skin leading to lines, defects, and contour deficits of the face and neck. The surgery involves general anesthesia, a post-operative recovery period, and discomfort. 

 

Non-surgical facelifts utilize several non-surgical technologies to address the aesthetic concerns of the face and neck. Some of the technologies can improve the appearance of the skin even beyond what a surgical facelift can accomplish.

 

To address each issue that negatively affects the aesthetics of the face and neck:

• Skin laxity and sagging: RF skin tightening using TempSure can tighten the sagging skin of the face and neck, the jowls, non-surgically. Done with proper techniques, the results could approach that of surgical facelift, but without any scars from surgery. In addition, strategically placed Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) as a regenerative dermal filler can build up the cheekbone and arch which has been deflating with aging to further stretch and tighten the skin as well.

• Deep lines and defects around the nose and mouth: Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers could be used to further provide foundational support around the nose and lips to decrease lines and defects.

• Uneven skin tone and texture: To decrease the even skin tone, pore size, and poor skin texture from sun damage and aging, 1540 Fractional laser, or Microneedling can help, especially when used in conjunction with regenerative aesthetics such as PRP or Exosomes.
