tour, giving a smoother, sleeker appearance.
It stimulates the production of collagen,
the protein that forms a scaffold
to strengthen and structure the body. As
the body ages, collagen levels fall, contributing
to skin aging. Microneedling
serves to incite collagen.
Traditional microneedling uses tiny
needles that pierce the skin that the
body heals by creating new collagen.
Morpheus 8 also adds an extra punch
with radiofrequency-generated heat to
tighten and contour the underlying fat.
In lower settings, it improves texture
for a more youthful look and at its most
powerful settings, it even sculpts the fat
under the skin.
MyEllevate uses fine, braided silk suture
suspension threads to gently lift the
neck, eliminate “neck bands” and
sharpen jawline.
“We are now extremely effective in
creating a sharp, youthful, well-defined
neck and jawline by re-suspending with
MyEllevate,” Imami added.
“The lift requires no incisions, but
usually creates results not achievable
with traditional surgery.”

The Imami Skin and Cosmetic Center team examines Barbara Acree's face to develop a plan of action for a
non-surgical face-lift. This procedure will have a much-lessened recovery period.
SUCCESSFUL COMBINATION
Nonsurgical face-lifts usually depend on
a variety of modalities to achieve results.
“We use a combination of lasers, radiofrequency
and specially designed suspension
suture placed beneath the surface of
the skin,” said Dr. Phillip Barbee, a facial
plastic surgeon with Clevens Face and
Body Specialists in Melbourne.
“This combination allows us to reduce
fat, tighten muscles and tighten skin all
without the use of any incisions.”
At Clevens Face and Body Specialists,
Barbee and the team rely on Express
Lift and Express Lift Plus, plus the
minimally invasive Laser-Assisted
Weekend Neck Lift to produce optimal
results. In one treatment, Express Lift
tightens saggy skin, corrects jowls and
double chins, smooths and tightens
the skin around the eyes, temples and
brows and improves smile lines and
nasolabial folds.
Thanks to a broken air conditioner, Melbourne resident Barbara Acree opted for a nonsurgical face-lift. Acree
is delighted with the results, seen in these before and after images.

three different treatment
techniques to

without surgery.
