Can Lasers Really Lift Your Face?

Lasers offer promising results for skin tightening, minimizing wrinkles, and improving skin tone and texture, but can they really lift your face? Eugenie Brunner, MD, FACS, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with decades of experience in laser therapy, sheds light on the advantages and limitations of laser technology.

Absolutely. Advanced laser technologies can effectively lift and rejuvenate the skin, providing a noticeable lifting effect without the need for surgical intervention,

The idea of non-surgical facelifting has transitioned from a futuristic concept to a practical reality thanks to the modern laser technologies at Dr. Brunner’s office. These treatments utilize focused light to deeply penetrate the skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production, tightening your skin.

This process can lead to a subtle lifting effect that takes years off your appearance. Laser therapy’s ability to lift and tighten aging skin without incisions or lengthy downtime makes it a popular option for those looking to enhance their appearance with reduced recovery time and less discomfort.

Results and Expectations

When considering laser facelifting, it’s crucial to have realistic expectations. While the results can be profoundly rejuvenating, they vary depending on individual factors like skin type, age, and the specific laser treatment utilized. Generally, patients can expect to see a noticeable improvement in skin tightness and texture, as well as a more youthful and refreshed facial contour, as new collagen forms within weeks of the treatment. It’s important to remember that these results develop gradually, as the skin’s natural collagen production is stimulated over time.

Lasers vs. Facelift

The choice between a traditional facelift and laser facelifting depends largely on your specific needs and goals. A traditional facelift provides more dramatic results and is often suitable for individuals with significant skin laxity. However, it is a surgical procedure that requires a longer recovery period and comes with greater risks. Laser facelifting, on the other hand, offers a non-invasive alternative with minimal downtime and recovery. It’s ideal for those seeking a less invasive approach, with results that are more subtle and natural-looking.
