Quick answer · What is Non-Surgical Skin Lifting?
Non-surgical skin lifting tightens and lifts loose facial skin without incisions. The main options are Thermage FLX, which uses radiofrequency to tighten the dermis, Ulthera Prime, which focuses ultrasound on the deeper SMAS layer, and dissolvable thread lifts for an immediate mechanical lift. Device sessions take 45–60 minutes with no downtime, and results build over two to three months, typically lasting about a year.

How it works
Three ways to lift, chosen by depth
Ultrasound reaches the deepest support layer for lift, radiofrequency heats a broad volume of dermis for tightening and texture, and threads physically reposition tissue while stimulating collagen. Your doctor selects one or combines them depending on where the laxity sits.
-
Consultation & mapping
Your doctor assesses your face, explains the options and marks the treatment areas.
-
Lifting treatment
After numbing cream, the device is passed over the mapped grid, or threads are placed through tiny entry points.
-
Results develop
Threads lift straight away; device results build over two to three months as collagen forms.
Before & after
