non-surgical facelift in NYC

The only way to accurately determine the best facelift in NYC—surgical or non-surgical—for you is to meet with Dr. Pearlman for a consultation so he can assess your situation in person. That being said, Dr. Pearlman does not recommend any non-surgical treatment as an exact alternative to facelift surgery. Sofwave can improve the jawline and neck with a non-surgical treatment, but will not yield the dramatic results of a true facelift. MyEllevate can reduce neck bands and lax neck skin. If you are still young or not ready for surgery, these procedures might be for you. 

Dr. Pearlman may recommend these treatments to address early signs of facial aging or to complement your results from a facelift. It’s important that you have realistic expectations for these treatments, as they only provide a fraction of the results of surgery and deliver subtle enhancements that require more frequent maintenance. Non-surgical treatments are most effective for individuals without moderate or severe skin laxity and whose skin is still elastic enough to respond to treatment. Adults’ skin quality gradually declines, typically dropping most dramatically in their 40s to early 50s, at which point surgical intervention becomes most effective.

Yes, Morpheus RF microneedling can address mild skin laxity. Using ultra-fine needles to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy into the dermis—the middle layer of skin—RF microneedling triggers your body’s natural healing response to encourage collagen production. As your collagen levels rise for the months following treatment, you can expect to see improvements in your skin’s tone and texture. 

Dr. Pearlman may recommend RF microneedling for patients struggling with mild skin laxity and signs of premature aging or sun damage. In more advanced cases of sagging skin, we may discuss surgery instead and help you choose the best facelift in NYC for your specific situation.

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy beneath your skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production. Collagen proteins act as the building blocks of your skin’s internal framework, but with age, your body produces less collagen, weakening your skin and making it more prone to showing signs of aging. 

Dr. Pearlman performs FaceTite under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. After the procedure, patients notice gradual improvements as their collagen levels rise and their skin strengthens. This process does not involve removing or repositioning the skin or its underlying muscles like a facelift, so while it requires less downtime, it also delivers more subtle results than a SMAS or deep plane facelift—which Dr. Pearlman recommends as the best facelift in NYC for patients with moderate-to-severe sagging.

The advanced Sofwave skin-tightening system also harnesses the power of ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, providing a natural lifted effect. Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to work in the deeper layers of the skin without causing more surface-level damage, offering more broad treatment than targeted ultherapy. 

As your treatment will be custom-tailored to treat your individual issues related to aging skin, only a personal consultation will reveal what treatments will be most effective for you, and the costs involved. A non-surgical facelift is less costly than a surgical lift, but the actual cost varies, patient to patient, based upon need. The goal, which we consistently achieve, is a significant level of facial rejuvenation.

A “liquid facelift” is not a facelift, but rather a term that describes an approach to strategic Botox and dermal filler injections to lift the face out not up. While Botox relaxes specific muscles responsible for your facial expressions, which create wrinkles over time, fillers restore volume to your features to address a “gaunt” appearance that many individuals develop with age.

At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, our approach to a liquid facelift honors your natural beauty rather than overpowering it, as Dr. Pearlman and the rest of our highly skilled providers use tactful injection techniques to avoid an “overfilled” or “frozen” appearance. While this non-surgical alternative provides visible improvements with no downtime, it does not tighten or remove excess skin.

We uniquely formulate each liquid facelift to meet your individual needs. Each treatment plan requires a different amount of syringes and types of fillers. Therefore, the costs will vary from client to client. We can give you a definitive quote for your treatment during your private consultation at our New York City offices. We can also help you secure the financing from a large array of trusted healthcare lenders.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift sagging skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production in the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), ultherapy provides natural, gradual improvements in your skin’s quality without incisions or downtime. However, like any non-surgical treatment, the results are not as significant as those from facelift surgery. Patients will typically get around 25% of a surgical result. 

Additional treatments for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing, or to restore even skin tone by addressing hyperpigmentation issues such as age spots and sunspots, can leave you looking years younger. As this is a customized process, knowing exactly what aesthetic procedures will produce the most beautiful outcome will require an in-person evaluation of your current skin condition.

If you feel frustrated with looking tired and older than you feel, you may not need surgery to look years younger. The first step is to meet with us at our luxurious Park Avenue clinic where you can expect concierge-style service. We provide a full range of services and amenities, as our patients deserve a positive and pleasurable experience. Dr. Pearlman offers the most advanced anti-aging treatments available in the USA and will customize your non-surgical facelift for a look that is fresh, natural, and youthful.
