What Is a Minimally Invasive Facelift?

A minimally invasive facelift refers to facial lifting techniques that don’t require large incisions or extensive recovery. These procedures focus on tightening the skin, lifting sagging areas, and stimulating collagen using:

• Thread Lifts (PDO, PCL, MINT)
• Ultrasound-based Lifting (Ultherapy, Shurink)
• Radiofrequency Treatments (Thermage FLX, INNOfill RF)
• Mini-Liposuction or Fat Transfer (targeted contouring)

These are ideal for patients in their 30s to 50s who want a refreshed appearance without surgery.
