What is a non-surgical facelift?

  A non-surgical facelift, as the name implies, is an option that is akin to a facelift, yet does not require surgery. How can this be possible? The answer lies in the modern facial aesthetic treatments that are now available – dermal fillers of the highest quality, including specialist options for parts of the face such as the lips. There are other treatments to address different parts of ageing – for instance, anti-wrinkle for lines on the forehead, or skin tightening treatments and peels to improve the overall hue of your complexion. The range of treatments and precise blend will vary patient by patient – after all, we are all different. However, the unifying theme is that we all experience similar signs of ageing, and there are superb options to treat all of these.

What does a non-surgical facelift comprise?

The key element of the non-surgical facelift is undoubtedly dermal fillers. High quality fillers, especially Juvederm as used at Viva, are a simply wonderful treatment. They incorporate hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body, and use this to stimulate collagen and elastin creation. This in turn volumises the skin, adds renewed firmness and undoes so many of those signs of ageing. When applied with skill the results are natural looking, without that clear look of ‘work having been done’. We use our own VIVA method for non-surgical facelift. This is made up of a series of dermal filler injections that are strategically placed to reapply volume, smooth lines and wrinkles. It is also to lift and tighten and generally leaves you looking fabulous! However, every patient is an individual and we will discuss the best options in a detailed consultation. It might be that anti-wrinkle can be used alongside fillers to address other signs of ageing, such as peels, skin tightening and other treatments.

FAQs for Non-Surgical Facelift

Is it safe? 

Dermal Filler treatments are typically safe, but much depends both on the quality of treatment used and the expertise of the practitioner. With a non surgical facelift, we only use the highest quality of fillers, these with FDA approval. It is worth noting that non-surgical procedures are somewhat under regulated and almost anyone can establish themselves as a practitioner. We would question whether it is wise to let just anyone perform injections into parts of your face. Please ensure you choose doctor-led clinics. At VIVA we are fully insured and all injectors are all medical professionals.

What results can be achieved?

The results achievable produce real change and enhanced appearance. The obvious benefit is to appearance. However, this can also do so much to bolster confidence and self esteem. We all like to look our best and signs of ageing can be a cause for concern. It is genuinely wonderful to see the impact these non-surgical facelifts can have . Our treatments improve confidence every bit as much as appearance. Patients are able to walk with their head higher, portraying the very best version of themselves. Results are not permanent and can last beyond a year with maintanence.

Is dermal filler painful?

You may experience mild discomfort but this passes quickly and can be reduced through the use of a local anaesthetic. After treatment, there can be some mild swelling, but this will typically pass inside a couple of days at most. Your wellbeing is our primary concern. Any required follow-up appointments are complimentary to ensure you respond as expected to treatments.
