For those wanting to turn back the clock without extensive surgery or lengthy and often painful recovery times, there is a better way.  The alternative is called QuickLift™ and, as the name suggests, it’s a minimally invasive procedure that can take years off your appearance. 

 The QuickLift™ technique was developed specifically for those between the ages of 40 and 65 who want to stay ahead of the aging curve.  It was designed to smooth the lower to mid face areas and can also dramatically improve the neckline — one of the first areas to show signs of aging. 

 It’s important to note that there are many procedures available that are referred to as ‘quick lifts’ or mini facelifts. However QuickLift™ is the trademarked name of a procedure developed exclusively by a physician and is a much improved version of the ‘S-lift’ — an alternative to a full face lift developed in the late 1990s and designed to tighten the skin around the neck and lower third of the face.  QuickLift™ takes this procedure a step further by using a technique that secures and tightens the connective tissues under the skin to permanently suspend the underlying structures of the lower face.  This technique also uses a ‘double purse-string suture’ method that reduces tension and minimizes visible scarring. 

 So what QuickLift™ can do that the ‘S-lift’ — and other mini-facelifts — can’t do is provide much longer lasting results with less scarring.  Plus the procedure can be done under local anesthetic in a doctor’s office and usually takes less than 2 hours. 

 Most patients experience minimal discomfort and many return to work within a few days.

In fact, QuickLift™ has been called the ‘weekend facelift’ since patients who have the procedure done on Friday often return to work on Monday.  The results can be very dramatic, erasing 5, 10, even 15 years off your appearance.

 Though the natural aging process will resume — and individual heredity and lifestyle always play a role — QuickLift™ will keep you looking years younger, years longer.  As with all procedures, an ongoing skin care program will help you get the most from your investment. 

 Finally, you want to be sure to choose a reputable physician.  Ideally you want the procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon to ensure a safe, successful result.

 So, if you’re between 40 and 65 and want a less expensive and less invasive alternative to the full face lift, QuickLift™ could well be your ticket to reclaiming the youthful you!
