Types of Facial Lifting and Their Frequency
- Device-Based Lifting (Ultraformer III, Thermage)
- Frequency: Every 6-12 months (Thermage is typically done once a year as its effects last up to 1 year)
- Reason: These technologies use sound waves or radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin. The results gradually become more noticeable over 2-3 months after the procedure. Thermage offers longer-lasting results than other methods, with effects lasting up to 1 year.
- Injections of Dermal Fillers, Botulinum Toxin, and Biostimulator Agents (like PDLLA)
- Frequency: Every 12 months (dermal fillers), every 3-6 months (botulinum toxin), every 12-18 months (Biostimulator agents like PDLLA)
- Reason:
- Dermal fillers help fill in deep grooves and wrinkles in the skin.
- Botulinum toxin reduces the activity of muscles that cause wrinkles.
- Biostimulator agents, such as PDLLA, stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in naturally firmer skin with effects lasting up to 12-18 months.
