With an increased number of aesthetic treatments being performed and increased attention on different options for corrective and preventative aesthetic treatments, people are looking for the least invasive way to achieve their aesthetic goals. When our world moved to Zoom, filler became a necessity and not just a luxury as people were confined to their homes, but wanted to look their best. Recent statistics by Google Trends show searches for ‘mini facelift’ have increased 1,000% in 12 months.
Traditional facelifts have become a thing of the past thanks to so many non-surgical alternatives that can be mixed and matched to achieve ultimate results without having to go under the knife. The following non-surgical, aesthetic procedures — nicknamed The Hourlift — are so simple and safe, they can be completed in an hour.
