It is inevitable that with age your face will show signs that you cannot hide with makeup. The skin will sag and the volume occupied by the inner tissues will come down. Moreover, the skin on human face does not age uniformly, i.e. some parts will show more signs of aging than others. The result is the loss of that fullness your face has shown when you were young. The shape of the face will change and you will find yourself to be an entirely different person who is very much older than you really are.

Now the question is, whether there is a remedy that is able to restore your face to bring back your young appearance. Thanks to the advancement of medical science, there is a solution that is able to do just that. It is called the 3D vector lift. In simple terms, this technique is a nonsurgical procedure that will restore the volume under the skin of your face.
3D vector lift is a set of non surgical procedures that ensures lifting of the face, tightening of the jowls and softening of nasolabial lines. There are a number of traditional methods of doing the same such as pulling the skin upwards with surgical procedures. But they are not able to bring the desired result. In contrast, 3D vector lift is able to bring comparatively good results.

It is interesting to know how this procedure is being performed. Though the subcutaneous injection is a procedure that is being practiced for a long time for lifting skin by filling the tissue underneath, it has not brought in good results. In contrast, with 3D vector lift the material used that is called the Sub-Q is a high viscosity material that also has good elasticity to hold the skin lifted for a long time. The high viscosity ensures that the material stays in its place rather than spreading out in the surrounding tissue. In addition to that, Hyaluronic acid is able to provide the long standing effect of the lift due to its cross links. Therefore, a long lasting lift is ensured.

In order to place the filling material under the skin of your face, traditional injection needles are not used these days. Instead, the newly developed micro- cannulas are used. It will not only minimize the pain but also will do the placement of the material in the most appropriate manner. Also, it will reduce the trauma to the tissues, thereby making the treatment safer.
Usually this procedure of 3D vector takes only around 45 minutes to complete. It is done under local anesthesia for convenience and to make it pain-free. However, once the treatment is finished you could walk away from the clinic with no side effects being experienced.

The effect of the treatment will be felt immediately. When you look at the mirror you will be highly satisfied with the result. Normally, this effect will last around 18 to 24 months. However, the time will fluctuate depending on the individual. There is hardly any contributory factor when it comes to the length of time it lasts.
As for the side effects, nothing serious will happen to you other than a bruise or two. There could be redness and swelling. These effects will appear after a few hours. These are mild side effects and will disappear after some time. Hardly any treatment is necessary.

When you use 3D vector in order to lift your facial skin, you have the option to treat different areas of the face to enhance your appearance. Your sagging and flattened cheeks could be lifted to give their former shape. Corners of the mouth also could be lifted to provide better looks. Also, any other area that needs to be given a fuller look could be lifted with this treatment.

There is no need to worry about any maintenance to your lifted face that is treated with 3D vector treatment. However, even before you subject yourself to treatment you could consult the surgeon who will perform the procedure and discuss about all aspects of the treatment. In case a necessity arises he could give you the necessary treatment. There are quite a few treatment methods that could supplement this procedure such as the use of clostridium botulinum injections. However, most often nothing is necessary.
When it comes to costs, 3D vector may not be that expensive as compared to surgical options. However, you need to make sure that this procedure has to be done in a clinic by an experienced surgeon. The expenditure may vary according to the institution you choose to get the procedure performed, as well as on the amount of lifting you need. As an estimate, two vials of Sub-Q can cost about R16000.
