Instant Face Lift Reviews

The term "instant face lift" generally refers to two separate types of products: one is a face lift tape that is applied to the skin in order to stretch your skin more evenly across the face. These tapes have commonly been used in the entertainment industry by screen and stage actors to change the visible age of the character the actor is portraying. The second type of instant face lift is a serum that is designed to smooth and reduce the visibility of lines and wrinkles of the face.

As opposed to a mini face lift or a full face lift, an instant face lift doesn't require any type of surgery, however the length of time it lasts is much less than a surgical face lift. Both methods of instant face lifts require continuous use in order to remain effective where a mini face lift will last for generally 5-6 years and a full face lift will last from 10-15 years depending on your skin and skin care regimen. Unlike face lift tape, serums used for instant face lifts will have some benefits after you discontinue use, but generally won't last more than a few months depending significantly on the product in question.

Serum-Based Instant Face Lift Reviews

The Athena 7 Minute Lift is a fairly new instant face lift that has been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  The product boasts a 83.72% average reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.  It takes a few minutes to dry in place (hence the 7 minute lift!) and women who use it report that at first it may feel a little weird but definitely worth it.  

The results of the Athena lift last approximately 6-8 hours with an overall reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles occurring over time as you use the product.  Applied in the correct small dose, one jar will generally last you for 2 months.  Quite a bargain compared to the prices of cosmetic surgery or injections!

Some of the other benefits of Athena include that it is 100% organic as well as hypoallergenic.  You will get the best results following the directions included  and it has been highly rated as one of the best non-surgical face lifts available today.

The Swisa instant face lift is formulated to help increase the production of collagen and elastin in the skin as well as to provide healthier looking skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  This is the most complicated of the three products listed here as it actually involves 3 separate items that are used together to achieve your desired results.  The kit includes the lift powder and activator, a firming moisturizer, and a firming serum.  Used together they do provide an excellent lift effect and help to firm up your skin over time.  

Some users have reported that the firming serum can feel like a concrete applied to your face and doesn't allow for natural facial movement.  Your mileage may vary, and as I've never used this particular product personally I can't speak to whether or not this feeling goes away with time.

Avon Anew is a very popular instant face lift product.  Unlike most other Avon cosmetics, this one does not have a heavy scent.  For best results with Anew, you will need to purchase both the general face cream as well as the eye cream separately.  If you already work with an Avon consultant, they may sell them both together in their catalog.  

Anew is fairly gentle and should not irritate sensitive skin as it is dermatologist tested to be hypoallergenic.  Avon clinical research reports that Anew is effective for 90% of the participants in clinical studies to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Used over time it will improve the general appearance of the skin.

The effectiveness of face lift tape varies depending on different factors.  If you have the hairstyle that can effectively hide the tape and are able to get comfortable wearing it, it can be an effective non-chemical, non-surgical face lift and the results can often appear dramatic.

Most face lift tapes come in colors to match the tone of your hair, not the skin, and are applied such that the tape rests behind your ears.  If you have very small ears and short hair, this method may not work for you as the tape will be visible.  Occasionally you may run across face tape systems that use a clear tape on the face area with a band that goes around your head through the hair in order to create the lift effect.  

When using face lift tape, you may have to practice correct application as well as getting used to the feel of the tape on your skin.  Feeling confident in public is some of what all face lifts are about, so if you are busy feeling concerned that the tape is noticeable or may come loose and (heaven forbid) pop off entirely this may not be the system for you!  Obviously tape lifts work very well in the entertainment industry because you can always stop the camera from rolling but unfortunately this isn't true in real life!

If you are looking to save money or to just avoid cosmetic surgery and its risks all together, an instant face lift can be an excellent alternative.  When using these alternatives, its important to keep in mind your expectations.  The results you achieve with an instant face lift will not be as dramatic as if you had chosen to undergo cosmetic surgery or botox injections.  For many, this is an advantage as you won't have to answer any awkward questions will going through surgical recovery.  Any of these products that you choose will have to be integrated into your daily skin care regimen in order to remain effective, which is probably the largest drawback for most people as they do require a small amount of additional time each day!  Good luck with whatever type of face lift you choose!
