The LaserLift, a Minimally Invasive Laser-Assisted Facelift: 10 Years of Regenerative Surgery in Aesthetic Facial Rejuvenation.

BACKGROUND: LaserLift is a minimally invasive laser procedure that involves a revolutionary technology for contouring the lower face and neck. This procedure uses a 1440-nm Nd:YAG laser designed for small areas, thereby providing a less invasive option than surgical facelift procedures.
METHODS: From 2014 to 2024, 256 patients between the ages of 20 and 67 were treated with a laser device: the Precision Tx™ laser system. Each patient's history was recorded, and general or local anesthesia was administered using Klein's solution. The laser settings were customized to target fat and tighten skin in specific areas. Additional treatment methods could be used. Treatment efficacy was assessed for each patient using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and a modified seven-category photographic classification evaluated by the treating surgeon.
RESULTS: Among the 256 patients, 142 completed follow-up evaluations ranging from six months to ten years (mean ~63 months). A 22.67% improvement in face and neck classification scores was observed. Significant enhancement in skin firmness and collagen production was noted across all age groups. Younger patients responded particularly well, but positive outcomes were seen in older individuals as well. Patient satisfaction was very high, with a mean GAIS score of 1.32, and 95.45% of patients reported high satisfaction.
CONCLUSION: The Precision Tx™ laser treatment significantly improves skin tightening, collagen production, and facial contouring. Precision Tx™ laser treatment is less invasive than traditional facelifts, with high patient satisfaction and a shorter recovery time. The results of this study support the use of Precision Tx™ as a new regenerative surgery for face and neck rejuvenation.
