One of the most exciting benefits of our non-surgical cosmetic treatments in Boise is the promise of a quick and easy recovery. When looking for the best medical procedures to give your face the refresh it deserves, you have likely weighed the perks of surgical versus non-surgical treatment. At Aesthetic Beauty, we specialize in surgery-free forehead lift options that will leave you looking younger and more alert in no time. If you are unsure about the benefits of non-surgical forehead lifts, meet with our team to determine if this is the best procedure for you. Learning more about what types of treatments are available, as well as our top tips for a smooth forehead lift recovery, can help guide you toward a more informed decision. 

1. Learn About Your Forehead Lift 

There are a few treatment options available at Aesthetic Beauty that can be curated to suit your unique needs. Treatment modalities depend on your comfort level as well as how much of your forehead needs help. Two popular treatments for forehead lifts include: 

PDO Smooth Threads

Aging, stress, and environmental factors can all contribute to the development of wrinkles between your brows. The skin on your forehead can loosen easily, causing creases and extra flaps of skin. 

PDO Smooth Threads is a treatment that uses tiny injectable threads to stimulate collagen production underneath the skin. This quick procedure is performed completely in-office and has a quick recovery time. Compared to other non-surgical options, this treatment delivers long-term results.

Dermal Injections

We can inject medical-grade neurotoxins into areas of your skin that are starting to see the effects of aging. These non-surgical injections are made with the shape and size of your forehead in mind. Certain injectables disperse quickly over large areas of skin, such as that of your brow. They are a great way to get rid of wrinkles, and it is recommended to sign up for several sessions for the smoothest recovery results.

2. Schedule Your Downtime

Arguably, the greatest benefit of non-surgical treatment is that there is little to no recovery time. You do not need to heal from an incision or deal with serious bouts of pain. In fact, these quick, in-office procedures are so easy that you can just walk out of our office once they are done. The operation usually takes just 30 – 90 minutes.

Nevertheless, that does not mean you will not need to care for your newly treated skin. You will still have some mild side effects for a few days, so be sure to take it easy at home. Your specialist may instruct you to avoid direct sunlight and stay away from makeup and other harmful chemicals for a while. After a couple of weeks, the results of your forehead lift should be clear. 

3. Follow All Aftercare Tips 

Though our non-surgical treatments are designed to be flexible and pain-free, there are still some things you can do to ensure excellent results. Try following these tips to the best of your ability:

• Drink plenty of water. As with any procedure, you need to remain hydrated during recovery. Adequate hydration helps speed the healing process while flushing away any toxins that could lead to an infection. In the meantime, avoid drinking harmful substances like soda and alcohol, which inhibit healing.
• Avoid touching the treatment area. Skin heals from the outside in, meaning that while you might look fully healed on the outside, your forehead still needs to recover behind the scenes. Any harsh touching, rubbing, or pushing on the treatment area can severely hurt your results. 
• Rest for a few days. You usually only need 1-2 days of downtime before you can return to work. However, make sure you are still taking it easy while you recover. The more gently you treat yourself, the more successful your forehead lift results will be.

Your clinician might give you more specific instructions that you can follow after your treatment. If you have any questions about your recovery at any time, be sure to get in touch with your surgeon right away.
