What is Medical Facelift?
Medical facelift is the general term for non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures applied to address facial sagging and laxity without surgical intervention. Thread lift, HIFU (Ultraformer), radiofrequency, and laser facelift are the main methods in this category.
In our facelift treatments performed in Istanbul at Million Hair Clinic, we use FDA/CE-approved PDO and PLLA threads along with Ultraformer III HIFU technology. These methods deliver effective results for mild to moderate sagging as an alternative to surgical facelift.
At our clinic, medical facelift procedures are performed by our dermatologists and aesthetic specialists. The recovery time after the procedure is much shorter compared to surgical methods. A return to daily life is generally possible within 1–3 days. It stimulates collagen production, providing a rejuvenation effect that increases over time.
How is Medical Facelift Performed?
Medical facelift at our clinic is applied with personalized protocols.
Facial Assessment
The degree of sagging, skin quality, and signs of aging are evaluated. The most suitable method (thread, HIFU, or combination) is determined.
Preparation and Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is required for thread lift; no anesthesia is needed for HIFU. The treatment area is prepared.
Uygulama
Threads are placed or HIFU energy is applied according to the selected method. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes.
Results and Recovery
An immediate lifting effect is seen with thread lift. With HIFU, the effect emerges within 1–3 months. The effect increases over time through collagen stimulation.
Rejuvenation Without Surgery
Medical facelift methods are an ideal alternative for patients who are not suitable for surgical facelift or who prefer not to undergo surgery. Noticeable rejuvenation is achieved in a short time with these procedures, which can be performed during a lunch break ("lunch-time lift").
Facelift Our Methods
1. Thread Lift
PDO or PLLA threads are placed beneath the skin to lift sagging tissues upward. They also stimulate collagen production, providing long-term tightening. Applied in the cheek, jawline, neck, and brow areas. The effect lasts 1–2 years.
2. HIFU (Ultraformer III)
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy reaches the SMAS layer beneath the skin, providing tissue tightening. It is the only technology that reaches the same layer targeted by surgical facelift without surgery. The effect increases over 6–12 months.
3. Radiofrequency
RF energy heats the collagen fibers beneath the skin, providing tightening and restructuring. It is effective for mild sagging and can be combined with other methods.
4. Combined Protocol
The closest results to a surgical facelift are achieved non-surgically through a combination of thread lift + HIFU + filler. Comprehensive rejuvenation is provided by selecting the most suitable method for each area.
