Surgical Facelift
What is it and what is it for?
For those looking for more immediate results, Living Clinic also performs surgical facelift, which promotes complete facial rejuvenation through advanced surgical techniques. Facelift, or facial lifting, allows to improve the contour and reduce the flaccidity of the face and neck, achieved through the excision of the skin and repositioning of the deep layers. This surgery is often associated with grease grafts, thus allowing the restitution of lost volume, especially in the facial masks.
Facelift Price
It is not legally permitted to disclose the price of surgeries and it is not possible to submit a budget without a concrete assessment of the patient being made first. Schedule an appointment with your plastic surgeon to get a personalized plan and budget.
Non-Surgical Lifting (FaceTite® / AccuTite ®)
What is it and what is it for?
Being a minimally invasive alternative to surgical facelift, non-surgical lifting uses radiofrequency energy that is dispensed by inserting a thin cannula into the area to be treated. Thus, it has the great advantage of a facial lifting without scars and with rapid recovery. At the Living Clinic, non-surgical lifting is carried out through FaceTite and AccuTite technologies to reduce fat and flaccidity of the face and neck.
Price of non-surgical lifting
The price of non-surgical lifting with Facetite can vary between 1000€ and 2000€, depending on the area of treatment and extension of the same.
Neck Lifting
What is it and what is it for?
Neck lifting is a surgical procedure for the neck region, which helps to eliminate flaccidity in this region and improve the overall appearance of the face. The procedure consists of the repositioning of the platism and the digastric muscles, the excision of excess skin and fat, the re-adjustment of the skin and the reduction of the submaxillary glands.
Price of neck lifting
It is not legally permitted to disclose the price of surgeries and it is not possible to submit a budget without a concrete assessment of the patient being made first. Schedule an appointment with your plastic surgeon to get a personalized plan and budget.
Collagen Bio-stimulators (such as Sculptra® or Radiesse®)
What is it and what is it for?
Collagen bio-stimulators, such as Sculptra and Radiesse, are used to treat wrinkles, flaccidity, and other aspects related to skin rejuvenation. Collagen bio-stimulation consists of the injection of substances that stimulate the production of collagen by the body itself, in order to produce natural and lasting results.
Price of collagen bio-stimulators
The price of collagen bio-stimulators varies depending on a number of factors, such as the type of biostimulator used and the location of treatment (face, hands, different areas of the body), so a specific assessment of the patient is required. On average, facial treatments with collagen bio-stimulators cost around 400€. However, you should schedule an appointment to receive a personalized treatment plan and budget.
