Laser Lift in Los Angeles
LaserLiftTM is an innovative procedure combining the gentle resurfacing effect of a laser with the tightening effect of a facelift. The results are dramatic! It takes just minutes to perform, is essentially painless, and there is only minimal downtime just a few days and you are back to work looking and feeling younger and refreshed! LaserLiftTM is available exclusively at TopSurgeons.
What Can This procedure Do For Me?
LaserLiftTM removes age spots, lines and even helps correct deep wrinkles such as crows feet and nasolabial folds (wrinkles between the nose and lips). The resurfacing component also clears acne, acne scars, and age spots. Sagging of the neck and jowls are also excellent indications for the procedure.
How Does It Work?
LaserLiftTM relies on two components: light and heat. The light energy of the laser has a powerful ablative resurfacing effect, enabling the treatment of even deep wrinkles. The heat component of the treatment is delivered via RF (radiofrequency) energy. The subcutaneous tissue is heated, triggering the natural production of collagen. Collagen is necessary to maintain tautness to the skin. Therefore, by stimulating the bodys own collagen production, sagging or lax skin is effectively tightened.
The Procedure
LaserLiftTM is performed in the TopSurgeons office. The procedure takes from 15-60 minutes depending upon the size of the area. You will probably have an anesthetic cream applied to the area to be treated to prevent discomfort. However, most patients find that the procedure is virtually pain-free. You may experience a sensation like the snapping of a rubber band. Although the dermis is being heated, a cold air device simultaneous provides a cooling, soothing sensation during your treatment.
LaserLiftTM vs. Fillers
Injectable fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse, simply fill in lines and wrinkles temporarily. Results may last a few months. With LaserLiftTM, however, you are actually making structural changes to the architecture of your skin from within. Hence, the results are much longer lasting - one treatment may easily last over a year. Fillers also do not tighten loose or sagging skin. LaserLiftTM does the job admirably.
Why Not Just Have A Facelift?
A facelift is major surgery. It is a rather invasive procedure, and incisions have to be well hidden. Recovery may take weeks. LaserLiftTM, on the other hand, is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that produces dramatic results, addressing both wrinkling and sagging, just as a surgical facelift would do. LaserLiftTM also has a minimal amount of downtime (about a weekend).
What Results Can I Expect?
Loose and sagging skin can be tightened. Fine lines and wrinkles are filled in while deeper frown lines can be softened. Some patients see results quickly and are satisfied after only one treatment. However, for most patients, the results are gradual as more collagen is produced and the skin tightens over a three to six month period.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Depending on your skins laxity (looseness), the area to be treated, and the results you desire, multiple treatments may be required. During your consultation, your doctor will advise you as to the number and frequency of treatments that may be required to achieve your desired results.

What About Recovery?
After your treatment, you may notice some mild swelling and/or redness in the treatment area. This may last several days, but usually no more. You should allow yourself two to three days before returning to work.
What Are People Saying About LaserLiftTM?
Patient Anne writes: I am well over 60, and had hoped to look 50-ish. But wow I now look 40-something!!! I used to wear a lot of makeup trying to look younger and prettier. Now, I go out with practically none. My skin is luminous and finely textured and I actually feel and look beautiful with a bare face. Dr. Omidi is very caring and made himself available if I had any problems. My only problem now is looking in the mirror too much cause I still just cant believe what I see.
