Lift Without Surgery: Exploring Non-Surgical Facelift Options

For those seeking a youthful, lifted look without the need for surgery, non-surgical facelift options offer a powerful alternative. With advanced technology and minimal downtime, these treatments can rejuvenate your appearance and restore facial contours for a natural, refreshed, and toxin-free look. 

Facelifts are a common procedure, whether they address a small and specific area like the eyelids, jaw, or the full face. However, with advances in technology and increasing demand for more natural-looking results from custom treatment plans, non-surgical alternatives are becoming increasingly popular. 

If you’ve been considering a procedure yourself but are unsure what your options are or want to learn more about how non-surgical options work, learn more with InMode here. 

What is a Non-Surgical Facelift and How Does it Work?

Non-surgical facelifts can span from non-invasive to minimally invasive procedures. They’re designed to achieve the same results as surgical facelifts would, without the necessity for general anesthesia or more invasive procedures. 

Depending on the device or technique used, non-surgical facelifts are designed to help tighten loose skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and achieve a more youthful and sculpted appearance. Typically, non-surgical facelifts target both the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, and the deeper layers of the dermis. This more holistic approach serves to improve the visible appearance of the skin while also supporting the underlying structures that are key in attaining a more rejuvenated result. 

Comparing Traditional Facelifts to Non-Surgical Options

A traditional facelift involves general anesthesia, where the surgeon makes incisions, removes extra skin, and then closes the incision sites with stitches. After surgery, you’ll need to care for the wound, manage stitches, and expect some bruising and swelling. Follow-up appointments are needed to monitor healing, and stitches are usually removed once you’re on the mend. It can take two to three months to fully recover, allowing swelling to go down and your face to settle into its new shape. Like any surgery, there’s a chance of scarring and potential for infection if aftercare isn’t followed closely—something that can feel daunting.

Non-surgical facelifts, on the other hand, typically use only local anesthesia, if any, to keep you comfortable. The procedure is much shorter, often just 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Instead of making incisions and removing skin, these treatments use energy-based technology, like radiofrequency, to gently tighten and tone targeted areas.

Recovery is usually much simpler, with little to no downtime, and the risk of scarring is low to nonexistent, depending on the type of treatment you choose. Some non-surgical facelifts can be done in a single session, while others might need a few follow-ups to get the best results.

Morpheus8 for Facial Remodeling and Tightening

Morpheus8 is InMode’s premier, award-winning device with a new generation of capabilities that is the pinnacle of non-surgical facelifts. With a multitude of microneedling attachment pins that can target specific depths with incredible accuracy, it has a dual-action purpose. 

The microneedling serves to increase collagen production, while the radiofrequency that travels between the microneedles with Scale and Burst functionality tightens the underlying tissues. This approach delivers a rejuvenated appearance while also improving the tone and texture of the skin. Many people notice significant improvements after just one treatment, while others may have a follow-up after six months to refine their results. 

Forma for Consistent Skin Tightening

If you’re looking for a treatment that you can have over successive sessions that uses therapeutic levels of radiofrequency heat to treat the signs of ageing, consider Forma. The RF technology promotes collagen production over several treatments, making it an incredibly gentle option that’s suitable for all ages. 

It works to improve the texture and elasticity of the skin, gradually tightening the targeted area. If you’re looking for a maintenance option or have very early signs of ageing and want to boost your collagen levels preemptively, Forma is the perfect choice. 

FaceTite for Minimally Invasive Contouring

For delicate areas and precise locations like the temples, neck and jaw, FaceTite is InMode’s premier option. This handheld device features an exceptionally thin cannula that delivers RF heating to tighten the skin at a sub-dermal level. Collagen remodelling with FaceTite results in skin contraction and delivers a non-surgical facelift with minimal downtime, requiring only local anaesthetic.
