What is the Synergy Lift?

This innovative procedure delivers dramatic results with minimal downtime. It is an ideal solution for those who dream of having a more youthful, defined appearance without the scars and lengthy recovery associated with a traditional surgical facelift or neck lift. The Synergy Lift combines the precision of Renuvion™, a helium plasma radiofrequency device, with the long-lasting support of MyEllevate™, a minimally invasive neck contouring treatment. Together, these technologies tighten and elevate the underlying muscles, ligaments, and skin in the neck and jawline, addressing sagging, loose skin and the excess fat that typically occurs with age. This powerful combination of advanced aesthetic technology brings results that rival traditional neck and facelifts, with no surgery required. Achieve a more sculpted, youthful appearance and long-lasting results.

How Does the Synergy Lift Work?

Renuvion

Renuvion is a device that uses helium plasma radiofrequency energy to precisely target and tighten the deeper skin layers and underlying ligaments that contribute to sagging in the neck and jawline. It also melts stubborn fat deposits for a smoother, more contoured profile.

MyEllevate

MyEllevate works with an advanced supportive suture system placed beneath the skin without large incisions. This suture network lifts and supports the deep tissues of the neck, diminishing the appearance of vertical neck bands and restoring youthful neck contours.

In some cases, a small skin tuck may be performed in conjunction with the Synergy Lift to remove any remaining excess skin after treatment to achieve optimal results.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The Synergy Lift is typically performed in-office or in a surgical suite using local anesthesia with sedation, so you are comfortable and relaxed. The procedure involves the following steps: 

  • Marking and numbing: Dr. Wulc will mark the areas of the neck and jawline to be treated and administer local anesthesia.
  • Muscle treatment: A few tiny incisions are made in the neck, and the platysma muscle responsible for sagging and banding is lifted.
  • Renuvion tightening: The Renuvion device is inserted through tiny incisions to target the deep layers of the skin and underlying ligaments, tightening and contouring the neck and jawline.
  • MyEllevate suture placement: Through pinpoint incisions, the MyEllevate system is used to suspend and support the deep tissues of the neck, creating a lifted, youthful appearance.
  • Final adjustments: If excess skin remains, a minor tuck may be performed to enhance the results further. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.

What is the Recovery Like?

After the Synergy Lift, patients generally experience minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief such as Tylenol. Swelling and bruising are normal but usually subside within a few days. Sutures, if used, are removed seven to ten days after the procedure.

We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and minimizing neck movement for the first week to ensure optimal healing. Most patients can return to normal activities within ten days. It is best to avoid looking down for prolonged periods (such as reading on your phone) during the initial stages of your recovery.

Are You a Candidate for the Synergy Lift?

The Synergy Lift is ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their neck and jawline without the downtime of traditional surgery. If you’ve noticed a loss of definition between your face and neck or are experiencing sagging and loose skin, this procedure may be right for you. During your consultation, Dr. Wulc will assess your medical history, examine your facial anatomy, and use 3D photography to determine whether the Synergy Lift will achieve the changes you envision.
