Appear younger with an instant lift

An instant facelift performed under local anesthesia can help reduce the appearance of ageing by lifting years off the face to create younger looking skin, experts say.

A minimally-invasive procedure, such as Permalift, is recommended for those between the ages of 35 and 65 and leaves no visible scarring.

In order to achieve a long-lasting tightening effect surgeons use a technique which lifts the subcutaneous tissue (loose or sagging skin) of the face and anchors it to non-transient tissue in the scalp.

This results in the removal of the ‘sad appearance’ normally associated with drooping brows, cheeks, chin and neck.

Brow lifts can rejuvenate the face by raising the arch to create an anti-ageing effect, which will instantly make a patient appear younger.

Debra Robson-Lawrence, semi-permanent make-up artist and brow expert, explained: "The brow muscle relaxes with age and the forehead lowers resulting in a dropped arch."
