What are lifting treatments?
Non-surgical lifting treatments deliver controlled energy — focused ultrasound, radiofrequency or microwave — into the deeper layers of the skin. The heat stimulates new collagen, which gradually firms and lifts the skin over the following months.
Thread lifting works differently: dissolvable threads reposition tissue for a more immediate lift. Your doctor may combine methods for a natural, balanced result.
