Beast Facelift Specialist in Saint Clair Shores, MI

The facial rejuvenation procedure commonly referred to as the “Beast Facelift” has become a popular method for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. The name “Beast Facelift” originates from the use of the patient’s own blood in the treatment, combined with the fascination surrounding beast culture in America and the West.

This treatment has also gained attention because numerous celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Anna Friel, and Bar Rafaeli, have chosen this method, further boosting its popularity. Many clients arrive at True Laser Spa having heard about it through media, eager to learn more about its effectiveness in reducing wrinkles and enhancing skin elasticity, tone, and firmness. However, it is crucial to address any misconceptions or misinformation they may have to ensure they have accurate expectations.

Decades ago, a groundbreaking method was developed primarily for orthopedic purposes, which has since been adapted for cosmetic use. Specifically, in procedures like the “Beast Facelift,” this method involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s own blood and processing it to extract platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Initially, this technique was utilized to accelerate healing in various areas of the body without cosmetic enhancements.

In the realm of cosmetic treatments, the process involves extracting a patient’s blood, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge that separates the plasma, which is rich in platelets. This plasma is then mixed with cosmetic fillers and injected into strategic facial areas. The goal is to promote rapid skin healing and regeneration through increased collagen production and the release of growth factors. This approach helps achieve a more youthful, natural, and revitalized appearance.

The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, with results that gradually enhance over several months, providing a proven and impressive outcome.

The Beast Facelift is a completely non-invasive procedure that utilizes small injections combined with cosmetic fillers to target strategic areas of the face.

Before the procedure, an initial consultation is necessary to review your medical history thoroughly. We also discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your unique bio-makeup, and ensure the suitability of the procedure for you. Once confirmed, a date is set for the procedure, which typically involves the following steps:

Patient Preparation: The treatment area on your face will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared.

Strategic Facial Markings: The doctor marks specific areas on your face that need enhancement, using a special pencil for temporary markings that are easily removed.

Blood Extraction: Blood is drawn, usually from your arm, similar to a standard blood test.

Centrifuge Process: The drawn blood is placed in a centrifuge machine and spun for about ten minutes. This process prepares the blood for use in the treatment.

Activation: This prepared blood is then activated to release growth factors that increase collagen production.

Topical Anesthesia Application: If requested, a numbing cream will be applied to your face to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

Filler Combination: The activated substances are mixed with cosmetic fillers and loaded into a syringe.

Injection: The mixture is then strategically injected into marked areas of your face.

Gradual Results: The injected areas on your face gradually rejuvenate as the growth factors stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. Results develop over several weeks to months, revealing a noticeable transformation.

As mentioned previously, a Beast Facelift session generally takes less than an hour, usually anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour.

Advanced skin rejuvenation treatments use methods derived from your own body, making it extremely rare to encounter any allergic reactions. In cases where fillers are contraindicated, they can be omitted from the treatment. These procedures are suitable for anyone looking to improve the appearance and quality of their skin.

Specifically, this type of facial rejuvenation can address a variety of concerns, including:

• Eliminating dark circles around the eyes
• Reducing Crow’s Feet
• Smoothing fine lines around the mouth
• Treating dull, rough, or grayish skin texture and tone
• Minimizing acne scarring
• Diminishing sun-damaged skin

However, there are certain exceptions. This procedure is not recommended for individuals with:

• Blood-related conditions
• Anemia
• Cancers related to the bone or blood

Additionally, it is important for patients taking blood thinners or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to stop their medication a couple of weeks before treatment and for a few days afterward, following the instructions of their doctor.

Generally, you may need a little bit of recovery time after a facial rejuvenation treatment. Usually, after the first day of the procedure, you may experience some minimal redness or tenderness on your face, similar to the feeling of a sunburn. Light bruising is rare but possible. The redness typically disappears during the second and third days post-procedure. You may also notice some swelling, which usually subsides by the third day. Finally, your skin will feel dry for the first several days, which can be minimized by keeping your treated skin well-moisturized.

It’s important to note that while you may experience these mild symptoms, you won’t necessarily undergo any significant downtime from your normal schedule or routine. In fact, with assistance such as makeup application, which we can provide in our clinic, you’ll likely be able to return to your normal activities directly after your procedure.

You’ll start seeing noticeable results just a few days after the treatment, and within one to three months, you’ll experience significant benefits. When it comes to individual experiences, patients have reported seeing fully refreshed skin that feels significantly rejuvenated and more youthful.

The total duration of results depends on the particular individual as well as the experience of your doctors, but expect your results to last anywhere between a year or two.

The most important things are skin hydration and sun protection! Make sure to implement daily skin care treatment by applying good quality moisturizers for your face as well as several applications of sunscreen a day (30 SPF or higher). This is critical especially if you live in sunny areas or undergo rejuvenation therapy.

There’s a significant difference between these treatments. Cosmetic fillers like Juvederm and Restalyne are made from substances that emulate what’s found under our skin. These fillers act like gels which “fill” in lines, folds, and wrinkles in the face. Your body absorbs this gel usually within 6-8 months depending on the filler, so there is a constant need and frequency to repeat treatment.

In contrast, advanced facial rejuvenation treatments enhance your body’s own ability to naturally produce collagen and skin tissue, which helps your face become younger, healthier, firmer, and more rejuvenated. Moreover, these advanced treatments can be used in areas where dermal fillers are considered not safe. Lastly, these treatments do not target particular lines or wrinkles on your face. Rather, they improve the overall look and quality of your entire face.
