Angellift is a brand of noninvasive, removable perioral (mouth) implant or prosthetic marketed by Medical Matrix, LLC used to lift and tighten the lower facial dermis.
Angellift came about when a California surgeon wanted to provide his patients with a preview of their new appearance, but the concept is believed to date back more than 25 years in use by European actors.
[6] The American Dental Association and Canadian Dental Association have not been invited to participate in the development of this device as it does not affect teeth or occlusion; although the device is fit within the mouth, it affects the skin surface and not the perioral cavity.
The Angellift devices are cleaned in similar fashion as retainers or dentures.
In 2008 Angellift introduced an over-the-counter version of the original prescriptive model which could only be fit by dentists.
