Join The LUXE Clinique as we delve into the world of non-surgical facelifts, exploring the benefits of non-surgical options against surgical facelifts, and explaining how you can consider facial rejuvenation without the need for invasive operations.

Can you get a facelift without surgery?

Yes, and in most cases it is actually safer to access a non-surgical facelift than a surgical facelift. The traditional surgical method may lift tissues and skin more, but if you are looking to address ageing by evolution rather than revolution, carefully considered non-surgical cosmetic treatment may look more natural.

Non-surgical techniques are now so advanced that they can almost achieve surgical type results, but this does depend on the degree of skin laxity in the lower face and neck area.

What is a non-surgical facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is a combination of procedures designed to lift your facial features and restore your youthful appearance. These may include different treatment modalities such as volumising dermal fillers, Botulinum Toxin and energy based devices. Non-surgical facelifts are renowned for their ability to lift your features without the need for surgery. When an experienced practitioner has done a full facial assessment and photography, they should be able to discuss with you the best treatment options for your desired outcome and budget.

Why should you choose a non-surgical facelift

1. More comfortable

Traditional facelift surgery involves making incisions on the face that can be painful and take extended periods of time to recover from. Non-surgical facelifts on the other hand involve a series of non-invasive injections of treatments like Botulinum Toxin and dermal fillers.

Recovery will also be far more comfortable because you’re not waiting for surgical wounds to heal.

2. Shorter recovery time

Traditional facelifts can take a couple of weeks or even a month to heal. This means you may be limited in day-to-day activities like going to work, exercising and applying make-up for this period of time. However, there is less downtime following a non-surgical facelift – you will only need to follow a few simple aftercare instructions for 24 hours but return to work is possible the next day.

3. Less risk of scarring

Although surgical aesthetics has advanced significantly in previous years, there is still a risk of scarring from the procedure. Although incisions are often hidden in the hairline or behind the ear, it is difficult to completely disguise scarring on such a visible area of the body. Because non-surgical facelifts use non-invasive techniques, the risk of scarring is reduced.

It is likely that you will only experience scarring from non-surgical aesthetics if there are complications with the procedure but if you seek the services of a highly trained professional, this is less likely to happen.

4. Greater versatility

With non-surgical facelifts, you can address your face more holistically, taking into account different features and proportions to create a youthful, natural appearance. However, it is important to be mindful of your Doctor’s recommendations as they will be able to recommend the most appropriate treatments that work with your existing contours.

5. More natural results

It isn’t always the case but sometimes surgical facelifts can create results that look unnatural, particularly as skin is stretched back. Whilst this can be the desired result for some, it is not what most are attempting to achieve with aesthetic procedures.

With non-surgical aesthetics, we use products that reposition and stimulate the existing tissues, collagen and hydration levels in your skin which generates natural looking results that define your beauty rather than reshape it.

6. Temporary results

The results achieved from non-surgical facelifts are temporary, giving you the opportunity to alter the results at your next appointment if you are not entirely satisfied. It also means that they will reverse by themselves without the need for further surgery or removal of implants.

How to achieve a non-surgical facelift

In order to achieve a facelift without surgery, you would need to attend an appointment with a trained medical professional who can create a treatment plan that is bespoke to your needs. However, you can also help your skin by following the below steps:

1. Adopt a Comprehensive Skincare Routine

One of the fundamental steps towards retaining a natural lift in your features is to establish a comprehensive skincare routine.

Begin by cleansing your face daily, followed by toning to restore the skin’s pH balance. Incorporate serums and creams containing potent anti-aging ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C to target fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness.

Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and encourages cellular turnover, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion.

2. Facial Massage

Facial massage increases blood circulation, stimulates collagen production, and helps reduce puffiness and fluid retention. You can use your fingertips or specialised facial massage tools to gently massage your face in upward and outward motions for optimal results.

3. Dermal Fillers and Injectables

Dermal fillers and injectables are minimally invasive procedures that can effectively address targeted volume loss and deep wrinkles. By injecting hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating substances into targeted areas, these treatments can restore lost volume, plump up the skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

While the effects are temporary, lasting several months to a year, they provide a natural-looking enhancement without the need for surgery.

What is a non-surgical facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is a combination of procedures that are designed to lift your facial features and restore your youthful appearance. Non-surgical facelifts are renowned for their accuracy and ability to bring back your glow without the need for surgery

What is involved in a non-surgical facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is achieved through targeted application of dermal filler for a ‘liquid facelift’, and possibly clever use of injectable Botox for the lower face.

Dermal fillers are a non-invasive filler treatment that uses concentrated Hyaluronic acid (HA), which the binds water to replace volume. This hydrating acid exists within your body naturally and when injected, it safely breaks down into the body, so the results are subtle and safe when injected correctly.

The non-surgical facelift technique utilises coding with the Juvéderm Vycross collection of non-permanent HA dermal fillers. These HA dermal fillers each work in specific ways to add volume and give structure and support to the face.

Is a non-surgical facelift right for me?

If you’re concerned about the impact ageing skin and volume changes are having on your appearance,  then non-surgical facelift treatment could be the right solution for you.

We recommend this treatment if you have:

• Sagging skin on the lower portion of your face
• Shallow or hollow appearance to your eyes
• Sinking skin in your cheeks, or exaggerated folds
• Wrinkles or lines on your forehead, crows feet or smile lines around your mouth may need addition of Botox.

To discuss treatment for any of the above or to discuss options for alternative signs of ageing, contactThe LUXE Clinique to book your consultation appointment.

Benefits of a non-surgical facelift

If you’re looking for an effective, long-lasting alternative to anti-ageing surgery, non-surgical facelifts have numerous benefits:

• Long lasting facial volumising and repositioning of sagging skin tissue
• Restorative treatment that is suitable even after signs of ageing appear
• Reduces the appearance of lines
• Volumising and firming
• Non-invasive treatment
• Results that look natural

When shouldn’t you get a non-surgical facelift?

Although non-surgical facelifts are minimally invasive and safe to perform, you may need to discuss your options with a medical professional if you:

• Have active/cystic acne
• Are prone to eczema/psoriasis breakouts
• Have moles, skin tags or skin growths in the area of treatment
• Experience cold sore breakouts
• Have recently burned your skin due including UV exposure and scolds
• Have had a reaction or adverse event to dermal filler treatment

Is a non-surgical facelift painful?

No, non-surgical facelifts are known to offer the same benefits of a traditional facelift without the pain of surgery. This also means you’ll be able to return to work the very soon without discomfort or complications

How long does a non-surgical facelift last?

Results of a non-surgical facelift can be seen the next day and last for as long as 12-24 months following the procedure. Treatment can be done in a single session that lasts 45-60 minutes depending on your treatment plan

Non-surgical facelift complications

If you seek non-surgical facelift treatment from a qualified medical aesthetics practitioner, then complications of non-surgical facelifts should be minimal.

As with other injectable filler treatments, it is common to see mild bruising and swelling immediately following your appointment. This is nothing to worry about, and will disappear within 7 days without interfering with the results. Your practitioner will provide aftercare advice and support to promote speedy recovery.

Adverse side effects are uncommon with a non-surgical facelift, but please discuss this with your practitioner.

How much does a non-surgical facelift cost?

The price of non-surgical facelifts will depend on the number of dermal filler syringes used in your treatment but atThe LUXE Clinique, our treatments start at £760.

The LUXE Clinique is passionate about the positive impact injectable fillers can have on beauty and self esteem as well as recognising the associated risks with aesthetic treatment. We want you to experience the full benefits of your procedure in the safest hands possible, which is why we’ve created this safe guide on injectable fillers.

How can dermal fillers enhance my appearance?

As your skin ages, it loses the natural structure that shapes it.

Dermal Fillers are the perfect way of restoring lost volume to your face, but the benefits don’t stop there:

1. Enhances natural contour to cheeks, temples, jawline, nose and chin
2. Immediately restores facial volume
3. Softens and corrects lines and wrinkles
4. Defines and amplifies the appearance of lips
5. Rejuvenates hollow and tired eyes
6. Restores volume in hands
7. Improves tone and texture of skin
8. Adds hydration

What are fillers made of?

The most commonly used facial fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin and other tissues. Hyaluronic acid binds water in the skin giving it important hydrating functions in the body.

Hyaluronic acid has been used in medical procedures for many years. When injected, it safely breaks down into the body for natural, subtle and effective results.

What filler do I need?

There are many types of filler that are suited to different procedures and produce different results. Whether you desire fuller lips, voluminous cheekbones or reduction in the appearance of line and wrinkles, the treatment you desire will differ.

Facial contouring and profile

Facial contouring aims to restore volume in your face as a whole by taking the time to understand your facial profile. By appreciating the full face, facial contouring creates natural structure that reverses the signs of ageing.

Line and wrinkle reduction

Line and wrinkle reduction reduces the appearance of ageing caused by both environmental and genetic factors such as changes to skin, bone and volume. Injectable fillers such as Juvederm dermal fillers can be used to slow down the development of lines and wrinkles, after the cause of ageing has been identified.

Lip enhancement

Lip enhancement treatments are restorative and can be used to increase fullness, create a more defined cupid’s bow and accentuate the natural lip line. As you age, your lips can become thinner and lose definition but lip augmentation can redefine their youthful appearance.

Lip augmentation is one of the most popular filler treatments.

Non-surgical facelift

Volume loss in the cheekbones and around the eyes is a natural part of ageing but can create dark shadows and sagging. Non-surgical facelifts lift your features and are a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures such as liquid facelifts.

Skin revitalisation/skin boosters

This revitalising treatment is tailored to your needs and designed to be injected over larger areas of the face. Skin boosters restore your face’s lost volume from within to leave your skin looking firmer, smoother and hydrated.

Choosing a professional

Dermal filler treatments are unregulated and can therefore be administered by anyone, which is why it is vital to seek a fully trained medical professional for your procedure. This will prevent any unwanted complications and ensure that all products used are safe and of the highest quality.

Before you book a consultation, make sure you ask:

1. To see your practitioners qualifications and experience
2. Which product they plan to use and where it’s made
3. If there are any side effects to the treatment
4. If you are covered if anything goes wrong with your treatment

Dr Robby Bajaj has over 20 years experience providing highly skilled treatments that begin with a consultation to establish your needs. As a fully registered member of the General Medical Council, he puts the health, safety and wellbeing of every patient at the heart of each procedure.

What to watch out for

If you choose a fully qualified practitioner then you shouldn’t experience any adverse reactions to your treatment. However, it is still important to watch out for any side effects that may occur.

These include:

1. Lumpy appearance under the skin as this could be evidence of infection or unexpected allergy
2. The filler moving away from the treated area
3. Clogged blood vessels in the treated area

If you choose a safe practitioner, these side effects should not occur.

What to expect during treatment

Your treatment will begin with a consultation, where you will discuss with your practitioner what you want the effects of your injectable filler to be, as well as determine whether filler is a safe option for you. Your practitioner will then be able to advise you on the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.

Injectable filler procedures can last from 30-90 minutes depending on the type of filler and number of injections you require.

Injectable fillers can be uncomfortable but are not usually painful. This is because most injectable fillers contain anaesthetic and are administered using non-invasive needles.

Dr Robby Bajaj aims to do everything he can to make your experience as comfortable as possible, and can apply numbing cream to treated areas wherever required.

Aftercare advice

The results of injectable fillers should appear within 2-3 weeks after the procedure as it takes some time for them to settle into your facial tissues. However, in most cases, you could return to work the very next day as the healing time is minimal.

For 24 hours after the treatment, you should avoid:

• Engaging in exercise or any activity that could cause excessive sweating
• Touching or rubbing treated areas
• Consuming alcohol or large amounts of caffeine

Depending on the condition of your skin and your medical history, we may provide additional aftercare advice to help your injectable fillers settle naturally.

At The LUXE Clinique, your safety and wellbeing is a top priority which is why every treatment begins with a free consultation to discuss your needs and medical condition. We will also make sure that you are fully informed and comfortable with your chosen treatment before it goes ahead.
