MAERCKS Hybrid MICRO-Volyft

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Miami, FL

The MAERCKS Hybrid MICRO-Volyft is a revolutionary surgical procedure that combines the microlift with aesthetic facial balancing (AFB) to restore volume around the eyes, temples, and base of the nose. The procedure focuses on collagen stimulation and facial volume restoration, offering natural-looking results tailored to each individual’s anatomy. This innovative approach combines different techniques using dermal fillers and microcannulas to enhance facial volume and improve skin texture. This is a hybrid approach, meaning your surgeon will utilize different techniques to create more comprehensive benefits.

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and hyaluronic acid, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss. This might be a common occurrence for many individuals, but it is still frustrating nonetheless. If you are suffering from the visible effects of aging and are looking for a minimally invasive treatment method with the potential to produce long-lasting results, you might be a candidate for the MAERCKS Hybrid MICRO-Volyft offered by Dr. Rian Maercks and his team at The Maercks Institute.

About

Hybrid MICRO-Volyft is an advanced cosmetic technique that combines the use of aesthetic facial balancing (AFB) procedures with minimally invasive surgical techniques known as a microlift. AFB procedures are nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments, often utilizing dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid formulas. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that our body naturally produces that helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. As we grow older, our body’s ability to generate hyaluronic acid decreases, often leading to visible signs of aging. (1)

The techniques used in Hybrid MICRO-Volyft allow for seamless and gentle delivery of fillers into the skin without making large incisions. This method not only minimizes bruising and swelling but also enhances patient comfort throughout the procedure. By utilizing this innovative approach, Dr. Maercks can create optimal results without the drawbacks associated with traditional filler injections and more invasive surgical procedures. This type of procedure ultimately aims to restore volume and improve skin texture in the most patient-friendly way possible.

“The hybrid microvol lift includes Dr. Maercks’ signature aesthetic facial balancing or AFB procedure to restore the natural volume of youth around the eyes, temples, and the base of the nose, along with the power of the microlift to lift the neck and jawline without recovery.”

In all of Dr. Maercks’ procedures, he utilizes a “histiocentric” or “tissue-centered” approach. This ensures that he is using the most minimally invasive techniques possible while still providing impactful results like a traditional facelift would.

Benefits

Hybrid MICRO-Volyft procedures offer numerous benefits to patients. Some of the commonly reported benefits might include, but are certainly not limited to, the following:

  • Natural-looking Results: Achieving a subtle enhancement without appearing overdone.
  • Minimally-Invasive Treatment: No extensive surgery means there are fewer risks involved.
  • Quick Recovery Time: Patients can often resume their daily activities shortly after treatment.
  • Collagen Stimulation: Promotes long-term skin health and elasticity through careful injection techniques.
  • Improved Skin Texture: Enhanced hydration and improved surface quality of the skin through filler application.
  • Aesthetic Enhancement: Restores youthful volume and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

As you can see, there is no shortage of potential benefits associated with the Hybrid MICRO-Volyft procedure! Dr. Maercks and his team take great care to offer their patients the most cutting-edge, advanced treatment techniques that provide the most benefits. With this procedure, Dr. Maercks can restore volume, tighten the skin, and improve facial contours by using a hybrid approach.
