Gentle Lift Redefines the Traditional Surgical Face-Lift
Portland, OR (PRWEB) August 2, 2004 -- Imagine cosmetic surgery without the bandages, scars or long recovery time. Dr. Douglas J. Key, founder of the Key Laser Institute for Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, Oregon has developed a new non-incisional procedure, Gentle Lift, which lifts the skin from beneath the surface restoring its youthful appearance. Traditional face-lifts rely on pulling the skin, but Gentle Lift is about lifting the skin by suspension. Dr. Key will share his research on reversing facial aging at the American Society of Dermatological Surgery meeting in San Diego in September.
Dr. Key was the first physician in the Pacific Northwest to begin using surgical "thread" implants, developing his own unique procedure for this amazing treatment. He places tiny 'threads' of suture material beneath the skin gently lifting the skin. Patients opting for the Gentle Lift treatment experience minimal recovery time, often returning to work after a weekend of rest. Additionally, the technique does not involve bandages and leaves no scarring.
"As part of the research and development team for ThermageŽ, I am more impressed with the results of the Gentle Lift procedure," says Dr. Key. "ThermageŽ does a great job of bringing back the natural tightness of the skin on the face and neck, but Gentle Lift begins where ThermageŽ leaves off, and actually lifts the cheeks and jowls back to their natural position. Gentle Lift results in an energetic and youthful look."
