WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 A minimally invasive procedure can tone, tighten and plump aging skin with less risk and than a traditional facelift, says a U.S. dermatologist.With new understanding about the skin's aging process -- and in particular what actually makes a person look old -- dermatologists are now able to combine several minimally invasive procedures to give a final result that approaches and in some cases surpasses that of traditional facelift surgery, said Dr. Michael S. Kaminer of Yale University and Dartmouth College. From radiofrequency skin tightening to thread lifts that can lift and tighten the face without surgery, these procedures have proven to provide reliable, effective, noticeable and long-lasting improvements with little downtime.Kaminer presented the findings at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.Copyright 2007 by UPI
