What the experts said
Surgical facelift reaches the layer above the muscle
Deep plane facelift technique pulls at the layer above muscle rather than just at skin level to achieve a natural result
Lasers affect only the epidermis and maybe a little bit of the dermis
Ultrasound technology can penetrate to 4.5 millimeters depth into the fat layers
Radiofrequency devices (Morpheus, Genius, Vivace, Silkfirm, Secret RF, Profound) affect the layers of the skin and can penetrate slightly deeper than lasers
Surgical facelift does not change the skin surface, meaning red spots and brown spots will remain and require other additive technologies
