Non-Surgical Satin Facelift is used at the clinic as the name of a treatment without surgical incisions that aims to generate controlled heat in the skin and subcutaneous tissues using radiofrequency and, depending on the features of the device used, ultrasound energy. It is not equivalent to a surgical facelift; it mainly targets mild to moderate skin laxity and tissue quality.
What Is the Non-Surgical Satin Facelift?
“Satin Facelift” is not a universal medical procedure name but the clinic's name for the treatment. The brand and model of the device to be used, the type of energy, its approved indications and the expected benefit should be clearly stated before the procedure.
Energy-based treatments aim to create a thermal effect on the existing collagen structure and remodeling over time. The result varies according to age, skin quality, degree of laxity, smoking and treatment parameters.
Who May Be a Candidate?
- Adults with mild or moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical approach
- People who accept that the result will be gradual and will vary from person to person
- People without active skin infection and without contraindications according to the device's instructions for use
- People with significant face and neck sagging who do not expect a surgical result
