Tesla Facelifting Using Energy Devices during Rhytidectomy
Abstract
Tesla facelifting is the process of utilizing energy devices as surgical tools during rhytidectomy and neck lifting. Devices used for Tesla face and neck lifting include fiber lasers, radio frequency devices, high-frequency ultrasound, and plasma energy devices. Advantage of Tesla face and neck lifting include better visualization for surgical intervention due to reduced bleeding, better access to hard to access facial and neck locations, and long-term skin tightening from the subdermal energy treatment.
