Non-surgical facelifts are procedures that aim to minimise the effects of ageing on the look and shape of the face and neck without modifying its natural structure.
Because they do not involve going under the knife, non-surgical facelifts can offer more youthful, natural-looking results, reduced complications, and zero to no downtime, unlike traditional facelifts.
Aging affects the texture of the skin as well as the shape of the face. While everyone experiences these effects over time, you may notice that certain signs of ageing appear more predominantly than others. For instance, some people may notice deep lines and wrinkles whereas other people may experience a loss of volume or sagging skin. Essentially when we talked about facial sagging, we are talking about the triangle of ageing face. The lower face has become heavy and sagged compared to the inverted triangle of youth.
Most patients seeking non-surgical facelift are looking to address the signs of decreased collagen production, such as skin laxity, age spots, and wrinkles, among others.
But whether you are an ideal candidate for the procedure or not depends on many other factors.
In general, you are likely to get optimal results from a non-surgical facelift if:
Injectable treatments are among the most popular and effective ways to rejuvenate the face without surgery. They can restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and provide an overall refreshed look.
For those looking for skin tightening and collagen stimulation, laser treatments provide effective non-invasive facelift solutions.
Most fat compartments of the face loses its volume as we age. Fat compartments such as the deep fat compartment gives structural support. For example loss of mid cheek deep fat compartment contributes to facial sagging with prominent Nasolabial folds, prominent eye bags and tear trough.
Replenish with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Laser such as Fotona 4D laser will be able to do facelift and volumized the face as well.
Water content in our skin reduces which contribute to the formation of wrinkles, pores and rough skin texture. Both collagen and elastin provides skin a youthful appearance with elasticity. Lose of both collagen and elastin makes the skin dull, less lively and less bouncy.
Osteoporosis happens when we age. Bony structures around the eye, chin and jaw are some of the more noticeable parts that reduced in bone mass as we age. As a result you get an enlarged eye socket which causes the eye ball to sink in further, retruded chin and loss of jaw definition.
Replace with high G prime fillers.
Most fats undergo reduction in size as we age. However, the superficial fat pad along the medial part of the face (nasojugal fat pad) gains volume. This leads to prominent Nasolabial fold, marionette lines and jowling.
HIFU to target different depth of the skin such as 4.5mm and 3.0mm to reduce fats and tightening of the SMAS and skin.
Fotona 4D laser targeting facelift from inside out, reduce fats and rejuvenate the skin as well.
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag, resulting in a tired and aged appearance. This is due to the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping our skin firm and supple. Additionally, factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and poor skincare habits can accelerate skin laxity and contribute to a saggy face. Fortunately, there are various treatments and lifestyle changes that can help improve skin laxity and maintain a more youthful appearance.

PROS |
CONS |
|---|---|
ConvenientUnlike traditional facelifts, non-invasive facelifts can be done in about 30 minutes to 1 hour, so you can easily insert a session even with a busy schedule. |
Regular touch-upsBecause the effects of non-surgical facelifts wear off eventually, you would need to have them redone every 6 to 12 months. |
Minimal DowntimeYou don’t need to take a week off with these minimally invasive treatments. You can even be back at work within the same day! (We do recommend resting after your procedure, though.) |
Limitations On Areas AddressedNon-surgical facelifts are not designed to treat sun damage, crepey skin texture, or other skin tone irregularities. They are also not meant to address severe or major concerns; the rule of thumb is to still have enough laxity in your skin for optimal results. |
Non-InvasiveA non-surgical procedure doesn’t involve incisions, general anaesthesia, or other pain medication, so you have fewer risks than an invasive facelift. |

While non-surgical facelift treatments are generally safe, there can be some minor side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising or temporary numbness at the treatment site. These side effects usually subside within a few days to a week. In rare cases, more serious side effects like infection can occur. It should be emphasised, however, that these are extremely uncommon and can be minimised when non-surgical facelifts are performed by qualified professionals.
Depending on the specific treatment, preparation might include avoiding certain medications like blood thinners, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and staying hydrated. Your doctor will give you personalised pre-treatment instructions, which may include skincare routines in the lead-up to your appointment.
Yes, non-surgical facelifts can often be combined with other treatments to enhance results or target additional concerns. For example, treatments like dermal fillers or Botox can complement non-surgical facelift procedures by addressing volume loss or dynamic wrinkles. However, it’s crucial to discuss any additional treatments with your doctor to ensure they are compatible and safe to combine. They will evaluate your unique needs and goals to create a customised treatment plan that maximises results while minimising any potential risks or complications.
To prolong and enhance the results of non-surgical facelift treatments, proper maintenance is essential.
A consistent skincare regimen with hydrating and anti-ageing products can help maintain skin elasticity and keep the skin looking fresh. Ingredients like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants can support collagen production and reduce the signs of ageing.
Sun exposure accelerates skin ageing, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation. Daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is crucial in preserving the results of any facelift treatment.
Non-surgical facelift treatments typically require periodic touch-ups to maintain optimal results. Your aesthetic practitioner can recommend a suitable schedule based on your skin type and treatment plan.
