What I’m Doing INSTEAD Of A Facelift at 51 Years Old

Tracy’s Approach to Aging

Tracy Campoli, 51, discusses non-surgical treatments she has tried instead of a facelift. Her goal is to look like the best version of herself while still being recognizably herself. She emphasizes that there is no single right choice when it comes to aging.

Treatments and Her Experience

• Laser treatments: Earlier in the year, Tracy had two types of laser treatment to address sun damage, even out her skin tone, and tighten her skin. She was pleased with the results, but disliked the red, itchy recovery and being off camera for about a week. She may repeat the treatment on her neck and décolleté, but is less certain about doing it on her face.
• Daxxify injections: She gets these about twice a year to soften wrinkles. She likes that they last longer for her than the Botox-type injections she used to get more frequently, while still allowing facial movement.
• PDGF under the eyes: An earlier treatment noticeably improved her under-eye hollows without filler. This mattered to her because her face tends to look thinner with age.
• Temple filler: Tracy had a small amount of filler added to her temples and liked the subtle effect, including how it seemed to open up and lift the area.
• Sculptra in the neck: She did not see a meaningful improvement and plans to try another approach.
• Further PDGF treatment: She returned to the clinic for injections around her forehead, temples, eyes, and neck, hoping to support collagen production and rely less on Botox. The clinician said results may continue to improve over roughly two months; Tracy’s longer-term results were not yet available in the video.

Recovery

Tracy experienced bruising, especially around one eye, along with small injection marks and some tenderness. She used arnica and a red-light mask, then later had a Vbeam laser treatment to address lingering discoloration. She noted that recovery can be inconvenient and may vary from one side of the face to the other.

Lifestyle and Skincare

Tracy says procedures are only one part of caring for skin and appearance. She also highlights sleep, eating well, hydration, and a consistent skincare routine.

She regularly uses sunscreen, wears a visor, and avoids lying in the sun. In a sponsored segment, she described having Pique’s BT Fountain in the morning for hydration support and Sun Goddess Matcha in the afternoon for energy.

Her general preference is for subtle results that preserve her natural facial expression and identity. She says her view on a facelift could change in the future, but she does not want one at present.
