Core Treatment Options

HIFU Lifting

Targets deeper support layers (including SMAS) to elevate the lower face and under-chin while sharpening the jawline.

Thermage FLX

Monopolar RF for uniform dermal tightening and collagen remodeling—great for cheek firmness, eye area, and neck texture.

Laser Lifting

Controlled dermal heating for tightening and fine-line refinement with minimal downtime.

RF Microneedling (Potenza)

Collagen stimulation for pore/texture improvement and subtle tightening; complements lifting devices.

Injectable Contouring

• Neuromodulators (masseter/jawline balance, fine movement lines)
• Hyaluronic acid fillers (chin/jawline/cheeks for structure and shadow lines)
• Fat-dissolving injections (submental) to clean the chin–neck angle

Thread Lift (case-by-case)

Biocompatible threads to reposition mild sagging when vector support is needed.

Who Is a Good Candidate

• Mild to moderate laxity, early jowls, soft jawline
• Desire for lift and definition without surgery
• Able to follow SPF and simple aftercare
• Healthy, not pregnant, and no active infection in treatment areas

How Your Plan Is Built

1. Facial analysis and photos (proportion, symmetry, tissue thickness)
2. Mapping of energies, depths, and injection points
3. Precise session with comfort measures
4. Review visit for fine-tuning if needed
5. Maintenance schedule tailored to your biology and goals

What to Expect

• Session time typically 30–60 minutes depending on modalities
• Back to routine the same day for most treatments
• Immediate “cleaner” lines from contouring; lift and firmness build over 4–12 weeks
• Typical programs use 1–3 sessions per modality, then maintenance every 6–12 months

Results & Timeline

• Early tightening from collagen contraction
• Progressive lift and texture refinement from weeks 4–12
• Longevity varies by modality: energy tightening often 6–12 months; neuromodulators 3–6 months; structural fillers 9–18+ months

Comfort, Safety & Downtime

• Tolerable warmth or light snapping with energy devices
• Temporary redness or mild swelling for hours to 1–2 days
• Parameters adjusted for darker skin tones to reduce PIH risk
• Conservative dosing to avoid heaviness or “overfilled” look

Combination Examples

• HIFU + Thermage FLX for deep lift plus dermal firmness
• RF Microneedling + Rejuran/Exosomes for texture and recovery
• Submental fat dissolve + HIFU for a crisper jawline
• Chin/jawline filler + neuromodulators for balanced profile

Aftercare Essentials

• SPF 50+ daily; avoid intense heat for 24–48 hours after energy sessions
• Gentle cleanse and moisturize; pause strong actives for 2–3 nights
• For injectables, avoid heavy pressure and vigorous exercise for 24 hours

FAQs

Is this a substitute for a surgical facelift?

For mild to moderate laxity, yes—non-surgical plans can lift and refine. Severe laxity may still require surgery; we’ll advise honestly.

Will I look unnatural?

No. We prioritize proportion, natural motion, and subtle contour—camera-clean, not obvious.

How many sessions do I need?

Many clients see visible change after one comprehensive visit; layered programs typically include 2–3 sessions over 2–3 months with maintenance.

Can I do this before an event?

Yes—ideally allow 2–4 weeks for optimal settling, longer for first-time combination plans.
