A credit crunch alternative to the traditional facelift might be just what the doctor ordered

In the light of the current credit crunch climate, clinics are looking for financially viable alternatives to the traditional facelifts. One such nonsurgical facelift offered by The Private Clinic is a three-step rejuvenation package which aims to reverse all the signs of ageing just as a traditional facelift does.

For a fraction of the price of an invasive facelift and without the downtime associated with surgery, the Non-Surgical Facelift is a unique package that is tailored to suit both male and female patients. It takes the 'whole effect' approach rather than just focusing on correcting individual lines, wrinkles or blemishes.

Dr Puneet Gupta, cosmetic physician based at The Private Clinic and an associate member of the British Association of Cosmetic Dermatologists (BACD) and of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, has designed the package to combine the best of non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

"The treatment is suitable for all skin tones and includes a Pixel Laser to re-surface the skin, followed by muscle relaxant injections to refine the fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes. Finally, to achieve a fully refreshed youthful appearance, dermal fillers are used around the mouth to fill out deeper lines which are tell-tale signs of ageing," he says.

A 'lite' version of the Non- Surgical Facelift has also been developed which still combines the non-invasive treatments but is completed within ten days and is perfect for when important dates are just around the corner.

Dr Gupta explains: "It involves the same procedure as the Non-Surgical Facelift but is modified with a single Pixel Laser to re-surface and refresh the skin. It is the perfect solution for those looking for an instant lift with excellent results."
