It’s helpful to consider a few things before your lifting consultation to aid in your decision. First, check whether the equipment and materials are approved. For radiofrequency and ultrasound lifting, it’s a good idea to verify that the equipment is approved, and for fillers and threads, check their ingredients and materials. Second, consider the indications. As explained by the Cleveland Clinic, non-surgical methods like radiofrequency are generally more suitable for mild, early-stage sagging and have limitations when it comes to severe sagging, so it’s important to ask whether the treatment is appropriate for your specific level of sagging. Third, duration of results and repeat treatments. Since the duration varies by method—thread lifts last approximately 1 to 3 years, and radiofrequency treatments also last 1 to 3 years—and there is significant individual variation, be sure to discuss a plan for repeat treatments. Fourth, recovery and side effects. It’s a good idea to ask in advance about the duration of swelling, bruising, and redness, as well as potential risks—such as burns, infections, and asymmetry, which are rare—and how to manage them. Fifth, comparisons with other methods and realistic expectations. It is safest to approach the consultation with the understanding that treatment results vary significantly from person to person.
