What is MyEllevate®?
MyEllevate® is a refined contouring treatment for the neck and jawline. Using advanced suturing techniques guided by ICLED® light, it delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
How It Works and What It Targets
MyEllevate® utilizes a suture support system placed beneath the skin to lift and tighten underlying tissues. This light-guided procedure specifically targets sagging skin and muscle bands in the neck and jawline, providing a contoured, youthful appearance without traditional surgery. The ICLED® system ensures precise suture placement, enhancing the support and lift of the underlying tissues. This approach minimizes the risk of visible scarring and preserves the skin’s integrity for a more natural result.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for MyEllevate® treatments in Des Moines are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck and jawline area who prefer a more gentle alternative to a traditional neck lift. This procedure is perfect for those seeking effective results with a shorter recovery period. It is also suitable for patients looking to complement other facial rejuvenation treatments for a comprehensive approach to aesthetic enhancement.
MyEllevate® may not be suitable for individuals with severe skin laxity, active infections, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or those who are pregnant.
Your MyEllevate® Consultation
To determine if MyEllevate® is the right treatment for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. David Robbins. During your consultation, Dr. Robbins will evaluate your specific needs, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain the procedure in detail. This personalized approach provides the most effective treatment plan tailored especially for you.
Before and After Gallery
The Procedure
Under local anesthesia, the MyEllevate® procedure typically takes about an hour. Tiny punctures allow the insertion of the ICLED® light-guided suture system, strategically lifting and supporting neck and jawline tissues. The precision of the light-guided system provides accurate suture placement, maximizing the lift’s effectiveness and minimizing potential complications. Patients usually experience minimal discomfort and can return home the same day.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you should expect some swelling and bruising, which typically subside
within a few days. To maximize recovery and results:
- Rest and Hydrate: Take it easy for the first 24-48 hours, and drink plenty of water.
- Apply Cold Compresses: Use cold packs intermittently to reduce swelling and bruising
- Elevate Your Head: Keep your head elevated, especially while sleeping, to minimize swelling.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting, intense exercise, and activities that strain the neck for about a week.
- Follow Post-Procedure Instructions: Adhere to any additional guidelines for optimal healing.
Most patients can resume their daily routines shortly after the procedure, enjoying the natural, long-lasting results. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Robbins will help monitor progress and address any concerns.
