The Ultra Repair, an innovative means of cosmetic treatment, has transformed the way facial rejuvenation is conducted in the aesthetic industry today. The Ultra Repair has eliminated the usual risks that come with surgical operations, making it safer for those who want to experience an innovative facelift procedure. Renowned dermatologist and laser specialist Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick (Rest In Peace) discovered this method by combining procedures like facial fillers and laser skin resurfacing techniques. The Ultra Repair procedure ensures that patients no longer have to undergo surgery by making use of lasers like YAG lasers, Alexandrite lasers, V Beam Perfecta, and Fraxel repair. Instead of undergoing surgery to eliminate age spots, wrinkles, skin imperfections, and sun damage, the Ultra Repair facelift procedure uses a safer method: combining various lasers to treat the signs of aging. Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick has developed the laser facelift procedure to make sure that it will cater to the exact skin conditions that each patient has. By targeting several areas and problems simultaneously, the Ultra Repair is able to efficiently remove imperfections and problem areas. However, one has to know that each laser has a specific usage, so that each one should target its particular benefit. Patients who need to have the veins around their eyes treated would experience the use of an Alexandrite or a YAG laser. Modifying the collagen content of the dermis tightens the skin, and the Fraxel and Ultra Pulse CO2 lasers are used for this step in the Ultra Repair procedure. Get rid of the imperfections in your face that make you look older with the use of the V Beam...

A stem cell is a precursor that can be any type of cell. A stem cell could be a muscle cell, a nerve cell, or a skin cell depending on the substances in its local environment. While grossly oversimplified, if you put a stem cell in the skin, chances are it would turn into a skin cell. That same stem cell, placed in the brain, might turn into a nerve cell. What does this fact about stem cells have to do with a face lift? The theory behind the stem cell facelift is intriguing. Stem cells are taken from some area of the body and are transferred to the face. Once injected into the skin, the hope is that stem cells turn into new skin cells. These new skin cells make the skin plumper and fuller because they add to the natural number of cells. This could be of particular benefit in older patients whose skin cells do not replenish as rapidly as they once did. While the idea is interesting, a stem cell face lift does not actually work in the way it is marketed. Currently, a stem cell facelift is really an autologous fat transfer procedure. Patients have fat taken from one part of the body and moved to the face. Does this result in a fuller face? Yes, just as it would with any fat transplant or facial dermal filler. Are stem cells doing the bulk of the work? Not likely. The percentage of stem cells that are being transferred to the face during a fat transplant is so small as to be negligible. Recently, a...
Undergoing plastic surgery is quite common nowadays. One of the most popular cosmetic procedures is the facelift, which is done by tightening the skin across the face in order to present a more youthful appearance. Traditional facelift modes are invasive because several long incisions have to be made to move facial tissue. These kinds of facelifts result in drastic changes. However, the procedures involve a lot of risks and a lengthy recovery period. Facelifts risk leaving scars on the face. Fortunately, recent innovations in cosmetic surgery have lead experts to discover a way to do facelifts that would leave minimal and invisible scars. This new procedure is commonly referred to as the scarless facelift or the no-scar facelift. What is the Scarless Facelift? The more technical term for this procedure is Endoscopic Facelift. Named after the instrument used for the surgery, it utilizes techniques which eliminate the need to make numerous long cuts on the skin, therefore minimizing visible scarring. Because of the nicknames associated with it, this type of cosmetic enhancement is often believed to leave no scars. A truly no scar facelift is impossible. The uniqueness of the scarless facelift is that the incisions are made in discreet places, like behind the ear and above the hairline, where scars would be less noticeable. This cosmetic surgery procedure was introduced in 2005 by Beverly Hills surgeon Dr. Harvey M. Rosen, M.D. Since then, plastic surgery firms have come up with their own private techniques similar to the endoscopic facelift. How is it done? The first step in doing a hidden scar facelift is to make three or more...
It’s good to be young, and if only there is something that can make us stay forever young, most of us will scamper to get it. Unfortunately, the fountain of youth is only a myth. People who want to stay looking young, however, found their fountain of youth in a new plastic surgery procedure called Vampire face lift. Vampire…really? Selphyl, or more popularly known as vampire face lift, is an all-natural treatment that de-ages a person’s skin, literally making it younger and healthier. Vampire face lift involves injecting a mixture of blood products into affected areas. Injectable selphyl is non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic filler. Unlike its contemporaries, injectable selphyl is taken from the blood of the person who is to undergo the procedure. Other well-known cosmetic fillers – Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane – are artificial. Injectable selphyl makes the skin physiologically younger unlike BOTOX and Juvederm which only makes one’s skin look younger on the surface. The blood injection procedure may cost more than a bottle of most women’s cosmetics but the amount injected is equivalent to four syringes of Juvederm, which would cost over $2,000 and start fading at the end of a year. A Vampire face lift takes about only 20 minutes. It rejuvenates the client’s skin without swelling, bruising, or lumping. Skin volume is increased over a few weeks as new collagen and blood vessels develop. The client’s own tissues virtually reverse the signs of aging naturally. The benefits of injectable Selphyl include Uses your own blood’s natural resources to treat wrinkles Triggers cell migration/proliferation to increase skin volume Rejuvenates without swelling, bruising, lumping, or allergic reaction...
AccuLift is a thirty minute laser face lift developed by Dr. Daniel Man M.D. This procedure is considered as one of the best alternatives to traditional or surgical face lifts, as it is requires less sutures, less recovery time and most importantly, less money. The procedure utilizes an AccuSculpt 1444 nm-wavelength laser that removes fat and tightens the skin instantly, with lasting results. It has been described as a process that is like a mix of facial dermal fillers and lift surgery, wherein the accumulated fats would be taken out to bring the patient’s face back to its youthful proportion. This treatment can be given to anybody from any age group that wants to remove sagging skin, folds, and lines, as well as to people who want to improve the eye area and cheeks. One interesting feature of AccuLift is the time frame allotted to the procedure, and the estimated downtime compared to other cosmetic surgeries. The procedure takes less than an hour, and the recovery time isn’t even half as long as other surgeries. Effects can last for up to ten years. Procedure AccuLift is actually a fairly straightforward surgery. The whole operation is done in a sterile environment, and all the equipment are ensured clean and safe to use. The process usually starts with administering a local anesthesia of sorts—covering the affected area with numbing cream for about a few minutes until the medication takes effect. Since AccuLift uses a thin needle to melt fat, the doctor punctures areas that needs work, usually on the cheeks near the ear, the sides of the nose, and the chin....
Dr. Payman Simoni is a renowned plastic surgeon for celebrities. He has received two certifications from the Board of Facial Plastic Surgery, as he specializes in the field of facial aesthetics. His clinic is based in Beverly Hills, California, and he is a go-to doctor for Hollywood’s celebrities. He has earned his place in Tinseltown’s roster of its top five cosmetic surgeons. Backed with his expertise and extensive experience, Dr. Simoni has incorporated some of his own innovations in conventional cosmetic procedures, such as rhinoplasty (nose surgery), and face lift surgery. As a medical practitioner, Dr. Simoni focuses his efforts and energy into developing new techniques in the field of cosmetic surgery. He aims to make cosmetic procedures less invasive and a lot safer for future patients. This is the case with one of the cosmetic doctor’s recently developed procedures; the Simoni Lift, otherwise known as the mini face lift. What is a mini face lift? Like the traditional face lift, the mini face lift aims to bring back the youthfulness in a patient’s face. It is a cosmetic stalwart against the ravages of time as it reverses the tell-tale signs of aging. As a person ages, the skin tends to sag as it loses its supple texture because of sun damage, nutrient deficiency, toxin absorption (like nicotine from smoking cigarettes), and stress. The skin loses its elasticity and thus begins to look droopy. By undergoing a face lift procedure, signs of skin aging like the appearance of wrinkles can be eliminated. How does it work? The patient must first have initial consultations with their plastic surgeon. During the...
Since cosmetic plastic surgery became prominent and popular, one procedure stands out as being the most recognizable: The facelift. A facelift is a general surgical procedure that is employed to reduce facial wrinkles, remove wrinkles, eliminate signs of skin aging, and “lift” the skin and muscle around the face and jaw area, hence the name “facelift”. Facelift surgery aims to remove excess fatty tissue, smooth loose and excess facial skin, and to tighten the facial muscles underneath the face. Some of the best plastic surgeons can perform this with very minimal scarring, oftentimes it is barely noticeable or hid properly along the lines of the face. The facelift begins with the surgeon applying the necessary anesthesia and sedating the patient. Next, they makes an incision above the hairline to separate the facial skin from the tissue underneath. Incisions can also be placed within natural facial creases, like the line where the ear meets the face. This aids in minimizing visible scars when the patient fully heals. Once the necessary areas are exposed, excess fat and skin are removed. Next, the surgeon tightens muscles and improves the contours of the patient’s face, and sometimes the skin is tightened and “lifted” to give a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Once all the necessary procedures are done, the skin is repositioned and placed in their proper areas, and secured with stitches, or staples, or both. Once everything is secure, the area is wrapped in bandages. Because of the swelling and bruising that will occur, and the existence of the bandages, the end result will not be fully visible until the patient recovers. Facelift...
The facelift is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available and known to people. But sometimes, standard facelift does not touch on the specific areas needed by the patient. For people who wish to have work focused on the areas around their cheeks and lower eyelids, there is a facelift available for that specific purpose; the mid facelift. The mid-facelift, as the name suggests, focus on the middle section of the patient’s face, specifically, around the cheeks and lower eyelids. This is to fix eye bags, enhance hollowness located in the upper area of the cheeks, and to fix imposing nasal folds. Because this kind of facelift is focused on a specific area, it is considered to be less invasive that a general standard facelift, allowing the patients to recover more quickly, with less risk of swelling, and see results faster. Mid facelifts require small but deep incisions into the muscle tissue of the face, with the surgeon adjusting the muscle and fat tissue from underneath the middle of the face, pulling it up to smooth and tighten the skin in the area. Sometimes, a surgeon can use an endoscope, which is a device that is not unlike a small camera attached to an extending limb, which can be inserted into the incisions to view the operation from the inside, making the whole procedure easier and faster to do. The procedure then becomes an endoscopic mid facelift. Whether the surgeon uses an endoscope or not, once the operation is done, the incisions are then sutured. The typical recovery time for a mid facelift usually lasts around one...
There has always been a preconceived notion that facelifts are complicated operations that require a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of money, to get. However, not all people can afford the money, or the amount of time needed, in a traditional facelift. With this in mind, the mini-facelift, or weekend facelift is born. The mini, or “weekend” facelift, is called as such because of the speed at which it is performed, with an equally fast recovery time that can literally, just take the weekend, in some operations. What the mini-facelift aims to do is to target specific areas of the face and focus on work on them, which means less stress, less risk, and less trauma than a normal facelift. But more than just its speed, and its efficiency because of targeting key areas, one of the key features of a weekend facelift is the fact that generally, these are far cheaper than standard facelift operations. This is ideal for people who would like to take getting work done nice and slow, opting for multiple mini facelifts rather than one big one. The mini facelift targets the key areas around the folds of the nose, the neck, the cheeks, and jawline. The procedure calls for smaller incisions compared to standard facelifts, reducing trauma and amount of recovery time needed. Endoscopes can be employed by cosmetic surgeons to remove excess facial fat and tissue, reposition key areas, and lift them, removing sagging, wrinkling, and rejuvenating the face. Although, depending on the costs and work required, there are surgeons that will not see the need to...
