Surgery-free facelift

So you’ve got folds and fine lines on your face, and you want to get rid of it. The problem is, you’re too afraid of Botox injections, much less any type of cosmetic surgery.

Fortunately for you, you can now do something about it that doesn’t involve breaking the skin. Called Angellift, this new device is said to yield immediate results, and costs only $350. According to this report from CBS 42:

"What this is, is a prop,” cosmetic dentist Paul Landman said. “It actually props the tissue up and reverses that aging procedure."

Dr. Landman, who practices in Chicago, says the Angellift was developed by a dental engineer at MIT, who noticed that false teeth provided an added cosmetic benefit.

The device is made of hard resin and is custom-made from a mold of the patients’ mouth, so it fits exactly in the space above the gum line.

Think dentures without the teeth.

Landman says this device might do more than just improve appearance, as before and after pictures from the manufacturer show. It might help prevent wrinkles because when muscles are smoothed out, they loose their memory, their ability to wrinkle.

But unlike Botox and fillers, that work on the same principal, Landman said, “there's no pain, there's no injections, and you can take it out if it's not comfortable."

Patients who have used Angellift attested they could drink, talk and laugh while wearing the device, but eating is a no-no.
