By Dr. TRACY MOUNTFORD on Non-Surgical Facelifts
Although people have traditionally resorted to cosmetic surgery, there are obvious disadvantages such as expense and recovery time. Today, there are many simple yet effective non-invasive alternatives to a surgical face lift that help you subtly return to a fresher version of yourself – and keep lines, wrinkles and sagging at bay.
As we age, the face loses volume and the skin’s elasticity declines dramatically, with the effects of gravity becoming all too evident, resulting in sagging or drooping skin. For women, the chin can also be a real tell-tale sign of ageing: the loss of deep supporting fat, combined with gum recession and loss of bone, impact the lower face and chin causing thin lips and wrinkles and a puckered or pouty chin. Tissue loss and sagging skin also cause a chin crease below the lips.
Some of these amazing non-surgical facial aesthetics options include: dermal fillers, Ultherapy®, Morpheus8, Thermage® and Thermage FLX. Click below to read more about other non surgical facelift treatments and see our before and after photos!

The aim is for natural rejuvenation – as if your face has simply been airbrushed. Our practitioners are trained in the highly technical MD Codes™approach – an advanced method of facial enhancement through precision injection points that treat the cause of the issue as well as the problem area.
We strategically plan cosmetic treatments that will have an impact yet remain undetectable.
Our ethos is to tailor make a treatment plan to restore the three-dimensional contour of your face with naturally understated, long-lasting results. We find best results are obtained by customising a clever combination of treatments such as: Botox®, dermal fillers, collagen stimulators, Ultherapy®, Thermage® and Silhouette Soft® thread lifting, and Endolift that all work in synergy.
Non-surgical face lifts give your face a tighter and more youthful appearance. As we age, our faces lose supportive proteins like collagen and elastin, as well as fat tissues. Lines and wrinkles can form, as well as hollowed out areas and sagging skin. With a non invasive facelift, we can restore the lost volume while tightening up loose skin that has sagged under the effects of gravity. The result is lifted and refreshed skin with a tighter and smoother texture.
In the upper face, we can lose volume around our temples, creating a ‘caved in’ look. Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles can also appear. In the mid-face area, cheek hollowing is a key cause for concern, while in our lower face, sagging skin across our chins and jawlines is often the biggest issue. Thankfully, we can address all these issues with our holistic non surgical face lift:
If you are a patient who wants to address all of these issues, then our comprehensive 8-point facelift is an ideal solution. Contact our clinics in London and Buckinghamshire to book a consultation!
The 8 point facelift is one of the best non-invasive facelift options as it addresses all of the problem areas that can occur on a person’s face. See how it has transformed the appearance of our patients in our non-surgical facelift before and after gallery.
Dermal fillers are non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments that can instantly restore volume to hollowed-out areas of our skin. They can be used across the face in the form of a non-surgical facelift to both fill out fine lines and wrinkles while bringing back skin strength and firmness through their collagen-stimulating properties. When combined with anti-wrinkle injections, they produce natural results that can often visually surpass surgical techniques, without any surgery or downtime.

Sculptra is a clinically proven injectable treatment that is also known as a ‘liquid facelift.’ It stimulates natural collagen production in our faces using its intense formulation of poly-L-lactic acid (or PLA) which nourishes the skin’s dermis to reboot natural collagen production. The result is improved elasticity and smoothness over time.

Ultrasound and radiofrequency treatments can be used on the face to reboot our skin’s own natural collagen production. Ultherapy is one of the leading ultrasound treatments in this respect and is a popular choice when treating sagging skin and lifting brows. We also offer Thermage FLX, a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that is known as a ‘non-surgical facelift’ at our Buckinghamshire clinic. Tightens and contours the skin across your face by encouraging collagen renewal inside deep layers of the skin.
Morpheus8 treatments are also available at both our clinics in London and Buckinghamshire. Morpheus8 is a safe and effective non surgical radiofrequency based treatment that lifts, contours and tightens the face promoting collagen production and delivering game-changing results for your skin. Find out more about this treatment on our dedicated Morpheus8 page.

Silhouette Soft Threading is a non-invasive thread lifting technique that lifts sagging skin across the face without any surgical incisions. It is a great technique to target deep lines and wrinkles while giving better definition to the jawline.
Endolift is a minimally invasive laser procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits, tightens loose skin, and stimulates collagen production. During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is inserted beneath the skin through tiny incisions. The laser energy precisely heats and contracts the tissues, melting excess fat and encouraging new collagen formation. This results in immediate lifting and long-lasting skin tightening. Endolift can be used on various areas of the face, including the lower face, jawline, and neck, providing a contoured and youthful appearance without surgery. Learn more about Endolift on our dedicated page.

With plastic surgery, recovery times can be as long as six months in some cases. With a face lift through non-cosmetic surgery, there is little to no downtime and in most cases you can resume normal activities right away.

Non-surgical Facelift results will vary depending on the individual patient. However, the vast majority of patients can expect to see results lasting from 12-18 months, and up to 2 years. After this time, top-up treatments can be re-scheduled.
There is no serious pain involved with a non-surgical facelift. Most patients are completely comfortable throughout our treatments, although we can apply pain relief lidocaine creams and recommend normal analgesics for patients who are more likely to suffer from pain symptoms.
As a non-surgical treatment, there is minimal discomfort as no scalpels or invasive surgery is applied to the skin. This makes it an ideal treatment for patients who are nervous about cosmetic procedures.
There are minimal side effects with a non-surgical facelift as the treatment is completely non-surgical.
However, some patients may experience redness, swelling or sometimes bruising if it was an injectable treatment. However, these symptoms should completely disappear in a matter of days, or in the case of bruising, 1 to 2 weeks post-treatment.
