What Is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is a combination of minimally invasive treatments designed to lift and rejuvenate the face without the need for traditional surgical procedures. These treatments address common signs of aging—such as sagging skin, volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles—by stimulating collagen production, tightening tissues, and restoring volume.
Unlike surgical facelifts, which involve incisions, general anesthesia, and significant recovery time, non-surgical options offer effective results with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. Techniques may include injectables, radiofrequency energy, ultrasound technology, and innovative methods like the Y LIFT®. These treatments can be combined to target specific concerns, ensuring a customized approach tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals.

What Can a Non-Surgical Facelift Treat?
A non-surgical facelift offers a versatile solution to address various signs of aging and common skin concerns. By targeting multiple areas of the face, these treatments help restore youthful contours, improve skin texture, and enhance overall appearance without the need for surgery.
Sagging Jawline and Jowls
Non-surgical treatments lift and tighten loose skin along the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls for a more defined contour.
Hollow or Drooping Cheeks
These procedures restore volume loss in the mid-face, rejuvenating the cheeks and enhancing facial balance.
Fine Lines and Deep Wrinkles
Non-invasive methods smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, softening facial expressions and rejuvenating the skin.
Skin Laxity and Loss of Elasticity
Treatments stimulate collagen production to improve skin firmness, reducing sagging and promoting a youthful appearance.
Uneven skin tone and texture
Non-surgical facelifts can even out pigmentation, refine skin texture, and provide a smoother complexion.
Volume Loss in Facial Contours
Advanced techniques replenish lost volume in areas like the temples, cheeks, and jawline, restoring youthful fullness.
Aging Skin Around the Eyes and Brows
These treatments lift and tighten the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing crow’s feet and drooping brows for a refreshed look.
A non-surgical facelift at AURAE MD targets multiple concerns simultaneously, offering natural-looking, comprehensive facial rejuvenation tailored to your unique goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for a non-surgical facelift if you:
- Want to address mild to moderate signs of aging.
- Prefer a less invasive option to traditional facelift surgery.
- Have realistic expectations about achievable results.
- Are in good overall health without contraindications.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your medical history and goals to determine the best treatment plan for you.
How Does a Non-Surgical Facelift Work?
Non-surgical facelift procedures work by stimulating the skin’s natural healing processes. Treatments like radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies heat the deeper layers of the skin, prompting collagen and elastin production. Injectable fillers and neuromodulators restore lost volume and smooth fine lines, while advanced methods like microneedling with radiofrequency target skin laxity and texture.
These advanced non-surgical facelift options work together to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime. During your consultation, Dr. Emami and her team will design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your facial contours and restore youthful vitality.
