Surgical versus Non-Surgical Facelift

There is a considerable difference between surgical and non-surgical facelift. The former addresses more serious facial skin problems and the results can last up to 10 years or more. The latter is more of a temporary treatment which deals with tissues associated with the aging process and can last for a couple of months to a few years. As far as facelift procedures are concerned the traditional facelift remains as the most practical solution during and after middle age, when the bodies collagen production slows and aging process becomes more rapid and irreversible.
