Complications And Risks

It is common knowledge that non surgical face lift alternatives cost less then a surgical procedure. They might cost like 1/10 or 1/20 of the surgical treatment. BUT, most people consider these options because they are being perceived as risk-free. But are they really?


My findings might shock you. Today I want to talk about two of the most popular treatments, Thermage and Thread lift. These two are very far from being "risk free". I'm going to reveal here inside-information, that your doctor will never tell you about. Many times it starts with an attractive coupon that promises to deliver, but now it is time you to know the truth.

non surgical face liftThermage is a treatment that uses radio waves to heat the dermis skin tissue. It destroys the Collagen, and forces the body to rebuilt it back. Rebuilding collagen fibers is good, but the problem is, it also destroys and melts crucial fat in our skin. Also, it is extremely painful, and the results are poor. Many people reported that there was no difference after the treatment, and some even told that their skin looked even worse as time went by. I know a lady from Colombia that Thermage left her with a hole in her cheek.

Thread lift is even worse than Thermage. Some doctors consider it as nonsurgical procedure (maybe they should check the dictionary...). In this procedure, barbed threads are being passed through a hollow needle under the skin. Those threads lift the desirable area. It is also called "weekend face lift" or even "lunchtime face lift", but don't let these innocent words fool you (after all, an ad agency copywriter probably came up with these names). First and foremost, Thread lift really is a surgical procedure, and there are many stories of women who suffered greatly during (and after) the procedure. Second, in many cases the barbed threads break inside the patients' face or even tear the skin and pop out!

Many patients are being told that the threads are easily removable. This is grossly incorrect. In a matter of fact, I have been reading many forum posts and clinical essays, and found out that 90% of the people who undergo this procedure, reported it to be "the biggest mistake of my life". Some of them out-right warn you that this is a dangerous treatment, and some ended up with what they were trying to avoid - a face lift surgery.

To be perfectly honest, I think that people who went through a negative experience are more eager to share their story on forums than people who experienced good results. Still, I deliberately omitted the "horror stories". I don't intend to scare you, just sharing my findings with you, so you know what you're getting into.

Personally, I will never do such terrible things to my body. Luckily, there are better solutions, and I don't mean a traditional facelift. You really don't have to take the surgical procedure to improve the tightness of your skin. Don't forget that the cosmetic surgery has its own risks and complications, as well as a very long recovery down time (weeks to months), depending on your age, medical condition, the clinic, and of course - the surgeon.

So, what are these better solutions? Facial exercises? Moisturizers? Actually... no. There is a better, safer and cheaper option to get the results of a face lift, without surgery. It is a newly discovered molecule called Ethocyn, and it's the only ingredient on earth that can restore the skin's Elastin fibers (the fibers that cause our skin to "snap back" after stretching).

Go over the Ethocyn review on my website and watch some news reports and real people's testimonials.

Your beauty begins from the inside.
