What is MyEllevate, the non-surgical neck lift?
A non-surgical neck lift is a rejuvenation procedure that can address neck and jawline wrinkles and sagging skin without the need to go to the operating room. MyEllevate® and the ICLED™ light guided suture system are used for this procedure. The most effective neck lift technique without surgery, MyEllevate® employs sutures to quickly tighten and lift the skin. Without making cuts or leaving scars, these sutures can be put beneath the skin’s surface. These sutures are precisely placed using the ICLED light guided method, resulting in outcomes that look natural in a safe, comfortable procedure.

What are the benefits of a non-surgical neck lift?
Although the results of a neck lift are remarkable, many patients chose to avoid surgical procedures due to scarring and downtime requirements. This non-surgical option for a neck lift using MyEllevate offers comparable results, as well as the following benefits: reduction of wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin, improved neck and jawline contours, supports the skin and muscles for lasting results, no scars or incisions, little to no downtime and results are evident right away.
How does MyEllevate work?
The non-surgical neck lift procedure can be performed under local anesthetic. This means that while the treatment area will be totally numbed to eliminate any discomfort, you will be awake throughout the procedure. Our providers will perform the treatment by inserting MyEllevate® sutures into the skin tissue using the ICLED™ light guided device. As a result, the skin tissue will be lifted, tightened, and supported by the sutures. We can maximize patient comfort and safety while ensuring the best outcomes by utilizing the ICLED™ technology.
MyEllevate is commonly combined with other popular non-surgical procedures, such as Chin Liposuction and FaceTite by InMode Aesthetics. We can further discuss at your consultation if you would benefit from combining MyEllevate with these other procedures. Chin liposuction will focus on removing any excess fat of the lower face and neck, while the FaceTite will encourage collagen and elastin production through radio frequency technology.
What results can I expect from MyEllevate?
The results from a non-surgical neck lift with MyEllevate® will be obvious right away, but will continue to improve as the skin settles into place. Since the sutures are intended to be permanent, patients can enjoy results that last a lifetime. Results typically last between 5 and 7 years until the aging process catches up and begins to impact the results.
What is the downtime from MyEllevate?
What is the downtime from MyEllevate?
You should anticipate some swelling and bruising in the treated area following the MyEllevate® non-surgical neck lift. These symptoms are often minimal and go away within one to two weeks of treatment because the procedure is minimally invasive. We advise patients to take a few days off from any responsibilities, even if they may feel fine returning to work and other obligations in a few days. However, there are very few limitations after this procedure, so patients can take advantage of little to no downtime.
After the procedure, your face will be wrapped if chin liposuction was performed. A soft collar will be provided for the MyEllevate and is highly recommended to wear for the first 10 days following the procedure.
The soft collar provides gentle compression and support to the neck area, which can help reduce swelling and discomfort while promoting proper alignment and healing.
Additionally, wearing a soft collar can help prevent excess movement of the neck and upper spine, which can be beneficial during the initial healing phase after treatment. This can help reduce the risk of complications such as inflammation or excessive strain on the treatment area.
Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how long to wear the soft collar and how to properly care for it. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome from your Myellevate treatment.
Who is a good candidate for MyEllevate?
Who is a good candidate for MyEllevate?
A good candidate for MyEllevate is someone who does not like the appearance of their lower face and neck. MyEllevate will be successful for someone who has mild to moderate laxity of the lower face and neck region. Someone without a significant amount of excess skin will have the most powerful result from this procedure.
