My Skin Is Sagging, but I’m Not Ready for a Facelift. What Are My Options?

My Skin Is Sagging, but I’m Not Ready for a Facelift. What Are My Options?

Facelifts have been one of the best ways to correct sagging skin, and they still are. Hundreds of thousands of men and women head to their plastic surgeons every year to go under the knife in the name of youth. 

While there’s a time and place for a surgical procedure, it’s certainly not your only (or best) option anymore. 

Since the early 2000s, when procedures like Botox® received FDA approval and opened the door for everyone to get younger-looking skin, folks like you have been hunting for nonsurgical options. 

Divina Averilla, MD, and our team at Love Your Body Medical Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada, are proud to offer scalpel-free paths to tighter, firmer, better-looking skin. 

Here's a closer look at our most requested facelift copycat procedures.

Skin tightening 

Got jowls? Let’s get rid of them with Reaction™ by Viora CORE™. This revolutionary skin-tightening technology system uses radiofrequency (RF) energy instead of incisions to improve sagging skin naturally. 

As the RF energy heats your skin, your body responds by ramping up collagen and elastin production, increasing blood supply, and ultimately firming your skin.

The Reaction system utilizes three different RF channels to deliver the most precise and customized treatment. We can even modify it to treat and improve tightness in your arms, abdomen, thighs, back, and buttocks. 

Dermal fillers

Sunken cheeks? Thin lips? Dangling jowls? You might be a candidate for dermal fillers. Dermal fillers replace lost facial volume and effectively and quickly improve sagging skin. 

We offer a variety of fillers, including Juvéderm®, Radiesse®, and Voluma®. During your consultation, we evaluate your skin and your treatment goals so we can match you with the best fillers. 

Pro tip: Combine dermal fillers with Botox injections to smooth out wrinkles and improve your facial features. 

Laser skin resurfacing

Instead of RF energy, we might turn to laser therapy, which uses short pulses of light beams to heat your skin. The process sloughs off dead skin layers and simultaneously stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

Chemical peels

You might not consider chemical peels a nonsurgical facelift option. but don’t count them out. If you have mild skin elasticity issues, a chemical peel might be able to remove damaged layers of skin and reveal firmer skin hiding below. 

How do I get started?

Have we convinced you that younger-looking skin without surgery is possible? Your next step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Averilla to establish a baseline for your skin and discuss your treatment options. 

The best part is that our nonsurgical treatments require almost zero preparation or recovery. In a matter of a few days to a few weeks, you’re ready to show off your new look, without needing to hide scars for the rest of your life. 

You’re not ready for a facelift, but we’re ready to match you with the best nonsurgical treatments available. Contact Love Your Body Medical Spa online to request an appointment with Dr. Averilla, or call today.
