Yes, laser treatments can contribute to a cheek lift effect. While not a direct lift like surgical procedures, lasers stimulate collagen production, leading to skin tightening and improved firmness. This can result in a more lifted appearance in the cheek area.
How Lasers Help Lift Cheeks
Laser treatments, such as CO2 fractional lasers and others used in procedures like the "Laser Lift" or "Luxe Lift," work by heating the underlying skin layers. This heat stimulates collagen and elastin production. The increased collagen results in tighter, firmer skin, reducing sagging and creating a subtle lifting effect. This is often enhanced by other treatments, such as dermal fillers like Voluma, which adds volume to the cheekbones, further augmenting the lifting effect of the laser.

- Collagen Stimulation: Lasers trigger the body's natural collagen production, a key protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness.
- Skin Tightening: The increased collagen leads to noticeable skin tightening, reducing the appearance of sagging cheeks.
- Combined Approach: Laser treatments are often combined with other procedures like dermal fillers for a more dramatic lift. [Luxe Laser Face-lift (Luxe Lift) reference]
Non-Surgical Cheek Lifting Options
Laser treatments represent a non-surgical approach to achieving a cheek lift. While surgical facelifts provide more dramatic and longer-lasting results, laser treatments offer a less invasive alternative with shorter recovery times.

Results and Longevity
The results of laser cheek lifts are generally less dramatic than surgical facelifts. However, the results can be quite noticeable, improving skin tone and texture, and providing a subtle lifting effect. The longevity of the results varies depending on the individual, the type of laser used, and other factors, but can last for several years.
