A non-invasive facelift using combination therapies for skin tightening and lifting. Elevates the face and restores volume.
Duration
60-90 minutes
Body Location
Face, neck, décolletage or selected skin areas after assessment
Preparation
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners 24 hours before. Wear light makeup and return to daily activities.
Follow-up Care
Redness and mild swelling may persist 24-48 hours. Use high SPF 50+ sunscreen.
Radiofrequency, ultrasound, or energy-based technologies tighten and lift skin.
Results can last 1-3 years. Periodic maintenance sessions enhance longevity.
Minimal downtime. Most patients return to work immediately.
Effective for mild-to-moderate sagging. Severe sagging may require surgical facelift.
Pregnant, nursing, recent postpartum (before 6 months), or those with active skin infections are not suitable.
Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising are normal. Rarely, nerve irritation or skin inflammation may occur but are temporary.
Very important. Use SPF 50+ sunscreen for first 2-4 weeks and avoid direct sun.
Stop retinol and AHA/BHA 1 week before. Avoid alcohol and blood thinners 24 hours before. Drink plenty of water.

Inspired by the ideal facial contours of Queen Nefertiti, it is an aesthetic technique that non-invasively contours the platysma, masseter and lower face area with the combination of Botox and thin filler.
Minimally invasive aesthetic procedure performed with a combination of Botox, PDO thread and optional fractional laser, aiming to elevate the lateral eyebrow tail and lateral canthus.
Jawline contour; An aesthetic technique that shapes the mandibular edge line (ramus, gonion, chin tip) with a combination of CaHA/HA filler and masseter Botox, providing lower facial proportions, sharp definition in men, and elegant taper in women.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an FDA-approved medical device as a non-invasive alternative to surgical face-lift, based on triggering thermal coagulation and subsequent neocollagenesis by converting 3-10 MHz focused ultrasound energy into 65-70°C temperature points in the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer in the subcutaneous layers.
Microneedling RF (Fractional RF Microneedling) is a category of fractional skin resurfacing devices that deliver bipolar radiofrequency energy through an insulated or non-insulated micro-needle array (25–64 pins) at a dermal depth of 0.5–3.5 mm, FDA-approved for the treatment of acne scars, striae (stretch marks) and superficial rhytids, marketed under multiple brands such as Vivace/Secret RF/Infini/EndyMed.
Morpheus8 is a fractional RF microneedling medical device produced by InMode Aesthetic Solutions, which will transmit bipolar radiofrequency energy to the subdermal layer at a depth of 1-8 mm through an insulated microneedle array (12-40 pins), performs thermal remodeling in the dermis collagen and subdermal adipose tissue, and is used for facial contouring, skin tightening and body contouring with Subdermal Adipose Remodeling (SART) FDA approval.
Thermage FLX is an FDA 510(k) approved non-invasive skin tightening device produced by Solta Medical, which triggers immediate collagen contraction (immediate tightening) and subsequent neocollagenesis by volumetric heating in the skin dermis layer with 6 MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy, and offers impedance-compatible energy regulation with the AccuREP algorithm.
Exilis Ultra is an FDA 510(k) approved zero-downtime non-invasive body contouring and facial tightening combination device produced by BTL Aesthetics, delivering 1-3 MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF) and 2 MHz ultrasonic energy simultaneously, providing real-time impedance control with Proteus technology, for sub-dermal 4-10 mm deep fat tissue heating and dermal collagen coagulation.
Moisturizer is a topical product that reduces the skin's trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and supports the skin barrier; It is a daily skin care product that should be selected and applied according to skin type, in lotion/cream/balm/ointment format, divided into three basic component categories: occlusive (prevent water loss), humectant (absorb water) and emollient (soften).
